I think he's twigged what a fucking nigh on impossible job this is in a bastard of an unforgiving league. Nothing personal on him but it isnt going to happen, it really isnt taking Celtic from 2nd to 1st or winning the J League.
I dont think anyone will take any joy from changing manager but i think we have to i'm afraid. Its possibly too early but i cant stomach us fishing around the managerial bargain bin in October and i'm pretty certain thats what will happen.

Anger and venting is expected.
The Ange Out drive, tho, ripples out.
To twitter, youtube and eventually the stadium.
A balanced point of view is required on this imo.
We are in a very dangerous place and have, clearly, acquired a destructive habit of wanting to bin managers when there's a period of difficulty.
If Ange had come before Jose, Nuno, Conte, this wouldn't be the case imo.
But Balcunt's failings have made the fans fear the future as soon as there's a phase of things not going smoothly.
Yeah. Unless there is something dramatic in the next few games, there isn't going to be any major backing of Ange this summer. So why should anyone believe he can get the team back performing at the level they were at in the first ten or so games? It's more reasonable to believe he can't.
If there's no significant improvement and at least 66 points, then sack him and get in for a good coach in the summer (and back him in the window!)
He did, don't you listen?
Fast, dynamic, aggressively attacking football.
Totally fearless at the heart of it.
Everything everyone demanded after Jose/Conte!
This way of playing demands technical ability for it to succeed.
Especially in this league.
Summer window crucial.
100% This is the reality. Ange got equally cursed and blessed by them first 11 games. Crazily good football some of the first time passing and movement were a joy but this is our real level.
We are miles off a title challenge and I'm going to be honest I don't belive inverting both the fullbacks and sub contracting so much of your attack to players coached to be fullbacks is the genius move he thinks it is.
But the job was always this big and Harry Kane is no longer filling holes in both boxes. Whoever is in charge the squad needs the addition of six elite technically adept footballers ( Bergvall was a great buy).
Not filled with faith in the way the man is dealing with obvious issues, and he is talking way more crap pro-rata than either Nuno or Jose, massive red flag, I'd honestly not be shocked if Levy reached out to Pochettino and Postecoglou was gone in the summer. Rinse repeat and here we go again.
This is what you get when you laud and fawn over an out of his depth clown.
People blaming the players lol.
As if people are questioning the players desire when the manager has come out and said he doesn't care about 4th which is the only left this season? If he doesn't care why on earth would they??
Imagine being international players, players who have achieved stuff in their careers at other clubs and having to watch the likes of Johnson struggle to control a ball or hide or just aimlessly cross the ball in?
Watching the darts player start no matter what depths his performances plumb?
Watching players like Lo Celso be given 5 minutes max off the bench?
Watching Son start and play no matter what?
Watching the 2 CB's left out to dry every week?
Watching their manager say set pieces don't matter?
Watching the manager talking about winning titles LOL
These players compete out on the pitch against the other teams, they know the levels and they know this guy is deluded.
He should be sacked tonight, all this talk of backing him in the summer is pure lunacy.
Even if the performances had been good or reasonable, the purchase of Johnson for £50M and Werner were enough to outlaw him any say in transfers.
Get fucking rid.

Post match interview was very telling, looks like he knows the game is up imo.
The epitome of everything that's wrong at our club. And our fanbase
He doesnt help himself talking about titles and trophies when we cant even pick up 3 pts
Hes fighting for his job. I think tonight is the first time hes realised.

Well this has been a disgusting run of results.
But it'd be outrageously early to sack him now. Needs time and more players that suit his system.

Yeah honestly this is where I am at. We need to start lookkng at replacements now imo.
He has a hell of a job convincing Levy to back him because the truth will hurt.
"None of our forwards are fit for my system so sell them all and give me 150m to buy 3 new starters".
Tbh I would take 3 signings this summer. LW/RW/DM.
Struggle on with Son/Richy at CF for one more season and hope they improve with actual wingers either side.
Don't you see: this is what unites us! Celtic wins pub league trophies against Kilmarnock and Dundee while Spurs wins nothing, ever - a club less successful than Portsmouth and Wigan Athletic over the past 20 years FFS.
Brothers in mediocrity
I think he deserves the last few games to show a marked improvement and coming together of the team. Do I think that will happen? Sadly no. I so wanted Ange to work out, and I know we all did. Really thought this genuinely decent, relatable man was a real leader with good ideas about attacking football.
Necessary change of tone.
Expressed direct accountability.
Regardless of what he said about SPs, he can't escape isolating them giving them deep focus, now.
Heat too hot.
Ange either accepts the prem is a different kettle of fish, or the prem will batter him over the head with said kettle.
