It seems to be a circular argument. No one but a top manager is good enough to replace Poch, but no top manager would want the job given Levy’s financial constraints. I suppose the question is what constitutes a top manager. Is it someone with proven success at big clubs where money is no object or is it someone that raises the level of a club above where it should be given available resources.
It is debatable whether Poch is in the latter category or not (as we have seen on here) but in the EPL Dyche, Howe and Hughton this season qualify. Dyche and Howe have repeated the performance for 2 or 3 seasons, but the jury is out on Hughton.
Probably none of them would get the job if Poch were to go but I would love to see an ego bumping into Dyche. I saw there is talk in the Sun of an approach being made to an Italian manager who wants to quit because his team was in contention for the Serie A championship but fell away at the end of the season and the Club president blamed the manager. Seems like a perfect match...Carlos kick-a-ball rides again.
