I can't see past a loss to Wolves being the loss that does it.
Why even let him carry on if we lose to them?

Why even let him carry on if we lose to them?
Credit where it is due, he came in and told fans what they wanted to hear and created a personality they related to. They would fire a manager they didn't know with his record and approach, but they'll never want to fire "Big Ange".
He’d be 10 losses in 19 games. That’s more than untenable.
Does Levy really have a strong tendency to let interims hang around for long stretches? I don't see it.
Jol immediately replaced Santini.
Ramos immediately replaced Jol.
Redknapp immediately replaced Ramos.
Mourinho immediately replaced Pochettino.
Conte immediately replaced Nuno.
It seems that people's judgment is skewed by the most recent Stellini-Mason debacle and Mourinho's sacking right before the cup final. Even in the latter case, with the obvious exception of the final, there wasn't much football left to be played. It's not like he sacked JM in October and let Mason loose for majority of the season.
I especially think that the aforementioned debacle is something he'd avoid at all costs this time. Now this by itself doesn't guarantee a satisfying appointment, in fact the chances of him going for a low hanging fruit is extremely high. That's why, despite everything, I'm still wary of sacking Ange until the summer. But if Ange indeed gets the sack, I'd be really surprised to see Levy let an interim finish the season. He knows how bad of a look it is.

I, like many on here, know next to nothing about setting up a professional football team, but I am very confident I could get one to score a goal against us. We make the same mistakes all the time and give up the same chances game after game. Every goal our defenders are either running back towards the goal like Forest.

or there are multiple players on a back post v one defender to put the ball in the back of the net.

I think he should have been sacked already mate, you’re preaching to the choir.
I have no idea how this man is still employed at this football club, the Forest loss should have been the nail in the coffin.
It doesn’t even make sense letting him stay until the cup game because if he wins that by some absolute miracle but continues to lose in the league, does that mean we still keep him here?
Sacking him is the only logical move now imo.
Well, it sure feels like a long march.
this is even more proof that hes nothing more than a motivational speaker. he actually believes this shit.
no you fat cunt! whats really important is having a system that doesnt kill our own team, whats really important is having a fucking football manager and not some waffling fat cunt.
And clips like this is why I do not have sympathy for the manager in regards to our centre back injury situation. It doesn't matter if you have prime Baresi and Beckenbauer. They cannot cope with the midfield disintegrating in front of them allowing essentially the entire opposition attack to charge at them. It's why our record is piss poor these whole last 7 months even before any real injury issues with 2 very good centre backs in Romero and VDV.
Yeah, i know.
I do worry that he hasn't been sacked because doing well on the pitch is no longer the priority.
Thought them performances were very good though. Prob should have beaten both Leicester and Newcastle comfortably. Romero mistakes gave them soft goals. We absolutely dominated both games. With a full team available we've been the best team in every game we've played IMO. Its only really the past month where we've started to play poorly

Nah, both were competitive games in terms of chance creation. People overrate our performances because we press well & see a lot of the ball. In a lot of these games we failed to create meaningful stuff and gave up a similar amount of chances.
Long term decision. Sacking him now with no real plan is just a much bigger mess. We have no fit centre backs atm so no manager is going to come in and quickly get us results. Until we get our players back then we are a midtable team at best.
Best to just let Ange ride out this spell of injuries and see where we are come May. Tthen make the correct calculated decision when you have more evidence of exactly where we are in this rebuild. Sacking him now and gambling on a free agent like Potter could risk everything... If we are replacing Ange then lets make sure we get the right man (Iraolo) in for next season
After 1st leg liverpool loss (having also lost to wolves and newcastle)
New manager bounce for scum away.
Knowing baldcunt, that's the timing.
More like if he loses tomorrow he will be gone IMO. Would expect to lose to Newcastle anyway if we have no CBs still.
Fair. Can't argue with them stats. I just remember watching both games and came away frustrated with the result but happy with the performances and at the time I was convinced we would have a big season. It had become a frustrating theme where we'd dominate teams, not take our chances and then give up a stupid goal. I was hoping we'd mature out of that eventually but with all the injuries everything just got worse. I can see why so many want him gone but for me, I want to see us get our players back before judging him. Mainly because I don't see the long term vision in sacking him mid season so feel like its worth just hanging on for now and seeing exactly where we end up.
So Mason in charge for the NLD in January? TRENCHES!
Better than CARNAGE.
We say that after almost every game.
