There's no easy fix.
If Poch were to be announced tomorrow, my hope would be precisely what it is today: that Woodward has now realized that what this club needs is to embrace a radically different approach to recruitment. And that such a - new - approach will be adhered to over the next transfer windows. More good "outs" and more good "ins".
We don't have a squad at present capable of winning anything of note. If people actually think Poch can turn the current options into a unit capable of performing consistently at the highest level just by virtue of "good coaching", they're living in fantasy land. As said elsewhere, our best XI isn't horrible (but still lacking). Our second stringers leave all sorts of things to be desired. That won't change magically. A combination of developing current (young) players - which will obviously take time - and bringing in the right sort of profile of more "immediate impact" players is alpha and omega regardless of who the manager (or "head coach") is.
