[Albion] Should we go for Poch?

[cjd]

I applied for the England job when Taylor was sacked.

Still waiting to hear.

I believe the saying is....."keep the faith".

 

[Dr. No]

Should we go for Poch?

No.

 

[Wozza]

Ridiculous people are saying no. Very good manager

Nope.

 

[aolstudios]

He’s done his time with the Southampton/Brightons why would he go back to that level. People are mental.

We're bigger than that now.

He would be a fantastic nanny for our South American crèche. He seems to have an affinity with younger players. In all likelihood he will aiming higher than us but he has not had a particularly fantastic time at the two top clubs he has managed.

 

[BNthree]

We can’t afford him and are too lowly for him but would be rather exciting if he were to come here.

 

[Rookie]

Other than getting lucky with spurs in the champions league what has he achieved that wasn’t expected?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That's it isn't it?

It's why I'd also say "no" to the "Should we go for Haaland?" poll.

<sigh>

It's sad to see the ambition seep out of a man as he approaches a level of stability and contentment.

On a serious note, I hope you have sorted out all your family business

I did explain to them that I ran a five a side team and we had lost every match that season- except the last which we drew 6-6- and this was evidence of a significant upturn in fortune due to skillful coaching and motivation.

That’s a completely different situation. Our model is based on facts, data, algorithms etc. which has been proven as a very effective model of finding good players to fit our system. Boehly’s system is pure scattergun madness, toddler in a sweetshop!

^ This.

I'd honestly not trust any Chelsea manager who didn't want to try to wrestle some control from Boehly's mania.

He might want too much control here, in the very unlikely case he'd even consider coming here, but I wouldn't take his frustration with Todd as particular indicative of anything.

Ajax away, yep. Then the luck ran in the final .

 

[LamieRobertson]

I can never understand what’s he’s rambling on about….why have i even bothered to open this thread …it’s not going to happen

 

[Mo Gosfield]

He would be a fantastic nanny for our South American crèche. He seems to have an affinity with younger players. In all likelihood he will aiming higher than us but he has not had a particularly fantastic time at the two top clubs he has managed.

Judging from the warm hug he gave Barco last Wednesday...I agree.

 

[Pliny the Gull]

He’s was beginning to turn Chelsea around and get everyone onside I don’t get your post tbh.

Yes. I agree with the turnaround.Frustrating kind of bloke. I think he is arm around the shoulder manager, rather than chaos, or technical genius manager.
Interesting decision for a new manager appointment for any club.
Do you chose the manager to fit the players or the manager to change the style.

 

[Clive Walker]

Jesus. He’s far to big for us. Get real people.

 

[Pliny the Gull]

Judging from the warm hug he gave Barco last Wednesday...I agree.
Totally agree with those posts. Poch I'm in.

 

[Da Man Clay]

He wouldn’t come but if he would absolutely. The more say in signings thing for Chelsea is I expect because he doesn’t want to have to try and integrate another 8 players Todd has heard we might be interested in to a team he has got doing well.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Whilst I'd agree with the general sentiment of pretty unlikely, hasn't Barber got some kind of relationship with Poch? I'm sure that's been kicked about before.

 

[Invicta]

I'd happily give him season or two, better than most names on the bookies list.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Yes. Please.
