He’s proven nothing bar 10 games of last season that he needs to stay, dross football for just about every game, we are so easy to play against and so easy to defend against again for the majority of games.
People keep throwing this “rebuild” around from Poch and misinterpreting what he actually meant and they keep saying as if it’s gospel. Plus you can still rebuild your team whilst also changing managers.
We took a chance on him, there’s no shame in that but it just hasn’t worked out, we can’t put faith in a manager who completely gets out coached nearly every game. We have been in shocking form since the Chelsea home game last season.
Respectively Iraola and Silva would most likely join us because we are a bigger club and offer more money.

This.
The rebuild isn’t Ange, it’s the structure of the club, the direction and its overall strategy of playing sustainable, attacking football with young players coming through.
Just because we get rid of Ange, it doesn’t mean we abandon the project or the rebuild. You bring in another progressive manager that can use the squad and build on it. You absolutely don’t bring in another Jose or Conte.

And let’s not forget that those 10 games included the 3 teams that went on to get relegated (and we needed 2 stoppage time goals to beat one of them) as well as Bournemouth and Palace who were in woeful form and 9 man Liverpool who we only beat with a last kick own goal.

"out-coached nearly every game" is a cruel oversimplification when you think about our 4-0 win at the Etihad, 3-0 at Old Trafford, 4-0 at Villa Park (and 4-1 at home), beating Liverpool in the league cup etc. Those games are us at our best, and for so much of the last two years we haven't been at our best because of the players we've had injured and the lack of good quality cover for them.
I suppose you can rebuild without the manager, but so much of modern football is about playing systems. If we keep changing the system we're playing, how will we ever bring in a full squad of players that can play that system?

I'm not convinced that either of them would leave their respective clubs for a chance to manage Spurs next season, especially if they qualify for European football.
It took us multiple attempts to get Conte in the door, and we ended up with Nuño as a stop gap. We got turned down by multiple managers last time around by all accounts: Slot, & Nagelsmann immediately spring to mind.
I don't think we are this attractive proposition that a lot of fans make us out to be, at least not to managers who are currently doing a good job in the premier league anyway.
