The Romantic notion of Poch

Some fans seem to think Poch may come back to manage spurs. Why does anyone think that he wants to come back?

Not even top managers are able to work with the poor players he signed, and it has had a long term negative affect on spurs.

He failed at PSG despite a level of backing that makes us look like a championship side in comparison. Why would he want to come back to do a rebuild project on his failed project and ruin this romantic notion of him?

Perhaps Belfast should ask PSG fans whether they want him back after they booed him during the title celebrations.

Some of us have ambitions for this club and some of us live in the past

It's simple Belfast Levy delivered on the stadium and training facilities leaving us in a good long term position

Poch burned out the squad without winning trophies and left us in a poor short term position

Fans like these romantic notions but don't see the reality of running a football club and don't have the patience to understand it

Both arguments can be true and aligned.

The stadium is great as I’m sure the training facilities are also. Levy is a high calibre businessman. But he is a numbers man, margins are everything to him. There is no doubting that the balance sheet was affected by such large investment and ultimately the football team suffered as a result in the short term.

But make no mistake Levy and Lewis will ultimately see a far greater return on their investment from the infrastructure than they would’ve from winning trophies. And let’s not forget the will get a massive return for selling the club as it’s worth ridiculous money of the back of stadium loans they took out against the club’s future increased revenue.

It’s why so many speak not supporting a property portfolio over an actual football team.

PSG fans booed Lionel Messi I would’nt take anything their plastics say with a pinch of salt. They are as bad as the Madrid fans.
