This question is irrelevant for now is my point. Bringing in a new manager mid season resolves absolutely nothing. If we win today, then we are in third and its overly positive on here. Lost and its total crisis!

We didn't win though, did we? We also lost to Palace and failed to beat Leicester. We lost from 2-0 up against Brighton too. The only impressive win we've had this season was against United who were utter dogshit and have now sacked their own manager.

I bet lots of managers could have done better than Ange in these first 11 games. I'm not Ange-Out yet but he's on very thin ice. If we can't even beat the shit teams then he won't survive long because his record against the top teams speaks for itself.

You are the one who clearly needs to give his head a wobble sorry mate. Nothing has stopped Levy sacking manager's midseason before. There is no regardless in PL management ffs. If Ange was to get no points until Christmas, you think he will last the season? lmao.

Levy will not happily allow us to finish midtable. Absolutely no chance. Levy for all his many faults, will think that another coach will get better out of this squad than Ange is, and he will be absolutely correct.

There is absolutely no chance of us getting no points until christmas! Get a grip! Honesty what sort nonsense is this. You think we will lose every game? If that happens then he'll go but can we please live in reality! We hammered Villa last week - we aren't going to lose every game. Inconsistency is the problem, we aren't just the worst team in the league after 1 game.

My god this is tiring. What is wrong with some of you
 
It’s all in for the Carabao and , more crucially, the Europa League , for me .

There’s simply no point getting our hopes up for top four . Top two is a complete pipe dream.

Use the Prem to develop whatever
“ process “ that is going on ; save legs and time for the two comps we’ve got at least some sort of chance in .

If it’s all over come March / early April ( or even earlier ) : start the succession planning UNLESS serious progress has been made.

Our friends from Glasgow warned us of ”bumps in the road “ ; but down here they’re the Kandahar Pass every few hundred yards on the North Circ .

Ipswich Town ( or even Norwich City ) would give the Old Firm a run for their money.

The next five months will tell ,

Let’s hope we can get through this .

this mid-table form has run an entire year now. enough is enough. a big club would never allow such shite to run for a year, especially when anyone with half a brain would have had serious doubts a month into it after seeing what he done in that chelsea game. the guys the biggest clown in football.

That's the problem though, we don't act like a big club, if we did, we would have never hired Ange in the first place.

Can't see it man. Give me the circumstances? Mason in charge over christmas while we negotiate with bournemouth for a fee on Iraolo? All because Levy is afraid we might finish midtable so he decides now is the time to sack Ange?

We sacked Mourinho just before a cup final, put Mason in charge and then had a long debacle of a search for a new manager and ended up with...Nuno.

It wouldn't surprise me if Levy sacked Ange over the international break, though my prediction at the end of last season was that Ange would last about 15 league games. Lose v Fulham and he'll be out, the boos were loud enough for Levy to hear at full time today.

From the first second you could tell they wanted it more. Had we got an early goal that might have changed things but they wanted to win more than us.

i think they dont wanna play for this charlatan. get someone in who doesnt hang them out to dry with kamikaze bullshit and you'll see a different attitude.

players at other clubs have nice lives bla bla bla. theres a reason theres a saying "hes lost the dressing room". theyve seen right through this clown.
 
I don't think there is any "wanting it more" or particular issue with attitude.

Our defense looks like it is organised by a drunk chimpanzee. All you need to do to beat us is defend deep and hit on the break.

If we lose to United in the cup and are mid-table at Christmas, he will be gone.

Part of the reason we overhauled our footballing structure was to enable us to change the coach without changing the entire football direction of the club. I think if anything Levy will be even more willing to sack the coach than he was in the past. 10 defeats in 18 league games would get you a pink slip at every elite club in the world.

Ange is in luck so. We aint elite
 
I honestly can't stand him and his false bravado grifter bullshit personality that some people mistake for being a "winner".

The fact that some people can't see he is actually very insecure but projects it out as having a confident mentality is beyond me, although it doesn't surprise me, lots of people like James Corden and he's a fat untalented cunt as well.

I haven't liked Ange since his comments around the City game and the moronic takes that he has in his pressers but I can ignore all of that if we get results and progression as a club because that's what this game is about.

That being said, I have been up and down on Ange, sometimes feeling he should go and sometimes feeling like maybe he should be given time (mainly due to our chairman and my lack of trust that he would find a better replacement) but today for me was the actual line in the sand tbh, one could say I am now actually unapologetically Ange out lol.

Blaming Ange isn’t going to make things better.

LEVY is the one true cancer at this club.

You’re right but even with a different chairman or CEO, Wee Ange isn’t the answer.

Ask yourselves this - would Villa, Chelsea etc consider Ange as their manager? I don’t think so.

You should never, ever hire a manager on the back of winning the Skol Cup in piss stained Glasgow. My grandmother could win the league with Celtic.

Ange out. Bring back Poch or Arry.

Its not the defenders' fault so much as the system- put them in terrible positions constantly and wears us out by forcing us to be using maximum energy at all times, which is just not sustainable.

Beating villa was a waste of energy if this is the shite thats served up against the worst team in the league. If fucking villa beat us and we beat ipswich at least we could say at least villa are decent. We were dogshit against villa for 1st 45 as well
 
I would *LOVE* to know what Ange really thinks of his squad. And whether he thinks that the players he has at his disposal are good enough in the long run to win the league under his tutelage and tactics.

He doesn't strike me as the sort who will hang around for long if he doesn't have what he feels he needs to compete. Although he's never appeared to give any impression that he can't get the team to perform with the resources afforded to him.

But I don't think he'd go full Conte. I reckon he will be slightly more "refined" in his actions.

It's a bit of a mix - there have been plenty of terrible defensive errors, and the system makes is worse.

I don't buy the wearing out bit, mainly becuase our 2nd half performances have generally been much stronger (with the exception of Brighton).
