A phrase being used this morning by a well known pundit to describe our managers position is "UNTOUCHABLE. "
I was never a fan of that phrase when it was used to describe some players in the past. I personally don't think any person within the structure of a club/ business should ever feel or be untouchable.

Totally agree Tom.

No one in any business is untouchable, least of all in football management, a very strange word to use can't believe any of our policy makers used it.
Having said that I expect Maresca to be at Chelsea next year.

I also expect Maresca to be manager next season and also another mediocre season where we fail to compete and bore the pants of the supporters . The reason Maresca will stay is the SDs are covering their arses.

I think it will depend on how we end this season and our performance in the CWC.
That been said, I read that the players really like Maresca (at least those in the first team squad) however the players liked Pich and look what happened to him.

All players like a manager who picks them and it also helps if they are successful. So it was strange that any player at any club liked Poch. Haha.

I hope he isn’t the man’s football brain is division1 championship he's out his depth.

Tom
My post did not mention the players liked Maresca because Hexham successful, just that he played them, success and Maresca should really not be in rhe same sentence, just look at last night's performance, slow and dull.

Bill, I was just generalising about players at ALL clubs liking there manager if they are picked to play on a regular basis and if they are successful in matches.
My point is Poch failed regularly on one of those measurements. haha!
