Always going to be an obstacle sadly, he will never leave his position at the club.
Even if new investment comes in, he would still want to control everything, what we need is someone to tell him to fuck off.
As for Ange, he could do better if, he could just stop the zonal marking shit, the team dominate the ball, and it's all undone by rank bad defending every game.
Ange is a good bloke but, the way he sets up, he is ruining us and draining players morale.
This bloke is complete Aids.
I agree with this. You can’t preach something for 9 months then go against it because it’s not going perfectly. It’s nowhere near as bad as is made out. We all know it can get better but to start changing how we play is daft. Tweaks here and there and better players will fix this.
Over all the season it's been pretty average to be honest and not really far off last season in terms of league places we are 5th only because Newcastle have had very bad injuries and man united have been worse than worse. To think of the results we have scrapped past Sheffield United in +10 .Apart from our first 10 games I don't think we are much better on than last season
The title is clickbait nonsense, but this is a good, calm, well-rounded discussion about Ange, at the moment.

Did you think Arteta was the guy for Woolwich?
Who is the guy for Spurs? Does he even exist?
Is it time to pick a woman maybe??
The team was playing sh*t last season and only getting bailed out in matches by Kane scoring which then got Son getting goals.
This kind of slow starts in games preludes Ange coming in

True and we might not yet clinch 5th place
Possibly. No. No
Just checking , you are joking about the woman appointment arnt you?
peps teams dominate the ball in every game they play. klopp adapted against us when they went down to 10 and 9 men earlier in the season and almost got a result out of it.
Arteta was mocked by the majority of (if not all) Spurs fans not long ago, so I don’t know if it should prove anything.
No, and I still don't. He's spend nearly a billion quid, and had 37 years in charge. If he wasn't challenging for the title they'd be questions...
No idea. I'm not a football scout, I work in IT.
Probably not tbh.
Why not? She couldn't do any worse than some of the utter dickheads we've had in charge.
I love Ange and think with the right backing he’ll get us to the very top
Problem is, like everyone that’s come before him, he won’t get that backing
It’s ENIC that throttle us and stop us from getting to the very top, always has been

In their first seasons they continued to play the same way, that's the point.
Comparing Ange's first season to Pep and Klopp in their 8th or whatever is a false equivalence, when you have better players and a team that you can trust you can start to adapt.
so klopp would of played suicidal tactics if down to 9 men in his first season would he.
I'd find this argument a lot more convincing if it wasn't for the fact we've had one game a week with loads of time for Ange to train the team, and the other fact that the more time he's had to train the team the worse we've played.
And we're not just poor from set pieces or struggling in transitions, we're poor going forward. I don't remember this happening in Klopp or Pep's first seasons. As this season has gone on we've got significantly more stales and nobody has progressed as a footballer.
Back Ange in the summer, give him more time (we need to do this as a club) but eeek the way this season has gone does not have me totally convinced of the idea we will see Pep or Klopp style progression with this team.
