I saw a stat about we’ve only got 30 points from a possible 87 points I believe running into the back end of last season.

I don’t know what we’re waiting for. It is lovely football at times going forward but every team knows what we do, the team has been found out and Ange doesn’t have a plan b.

We do not have enough quality to keep digging us out of holes like Kane used to and we’re leaking more goals than ever.

We need to get serious about this relegation battle, you can’t feel confident in them winning any game at the moment. 1 point in the last 5 games, we have an all out attacking manager that doesn’t know how to play defensively and the only way you get yourself out of a relegation battle is by tightening up at the back and stop leaking so many goals.

Romero and Van Der Ven will not miraculously solve our issues if they come back to a team that’s been battered every week and low on confidence.

We really need a caretaker manager that knows the premier league well to step in until the end of the season at this point

OK, we sack him today. The squad is currently on it's knees, they are visually knackered (which is being touted as them 'downing tools' which of course is ridicules). The injured players, out for months, won't be back up to speed from the off. They will obviously need time to get back to their best

Meaning; Over the next two months, what would a new manager change? Moreover, how could anyone change anything the way the squad is currently (someone said the other day that we should be starting Yang, Moore and Lankshear and that they would relieve the fatigue. No honestly, they really did)

"Is Ange the right man?"

"He just isn't good enough"

"His squad has been decimated so it could be argued that he hasn't had the chance to perform"

"Ange is to blame for the current state of the squad"


We may well see the current manager lose his job and on form, again, the fan base will be right back here in 18 months. Sure, we are in 15th place in the league right now but does it really matter where we finish? Honestly?

Say we did finish in the top 4 this season/any season, would you say we are going to win the Champions League? Are we set up to win? Win anything? Ever?

Obviously the answer is no. No we aren't set up to win anything. We haven't been set up to win anything for years so what does it matter where we finish in the league, which cups we get knocked out of?

"Ah yes well, if we finish in the top 4, we can sign better players", which of course is a massive bubble, right? I mean, ask yourself, who have we signed when we have played champions League that are these so called 'better players' ????



We sign a new manager today and we are back here again in 18 months, slating off the players, the staff, even each other. Again, does it matter who the current/next manager is?



Look, I honestly believe that everyone on this forum only wants what is best for this club. The count offs happen but the reason they do is born from a place of wanting what is best. But surely this cycle is obvious to even the count-offyest among us, no?

Worrying about whether a new manager will or won't work out in 18 months time is not an excuse to sleepwalk into the championship.

I stay away from this thread for a few days (too depressing) and 100 pages have been added, hardly a positive post in sight.
This has turned out to be a 'mare of an appointment. it's so obvious that Ange is out of his depth, nothing wrong in admitting that, as most of us have ambitions to try a higher level. Enough is enough now and I'm a bit annoyed at myself for being taking in for so long by both Ange and Levy. At least the latter can actually do something about it, the penny surely must have dropped by now.
PS all of those people who are deriding Ryan and Matt Wells, surely they can't be any worse!

This whole situation has been propped up by lies and myths.

"We're only here because of the injuries" - Look at our results since March.

"We always end up here under Enic" - They're strangling the club, but no we do not always end up fighting for relegation under these owners. 5th is actually par for us.

"The players are still playing for the manager" - If by that you mean they aren't actively trying to get him out by throwing games? Then okay. But apart from Terry and the like at Chelsea. Does that ever really happen? I'm not sure. And if that first half yesterday was a team enthused, then fucking hell are we in trouble..

"He still has the matchgoing fans" - A manager that has the full backing of the home crowd does. not. get. his. subs. booed.. You're confusing apathy with patience.

What I don't understand is if Levy isn't going to sack Ange then why isn't he backing him?
I could understand the position if we had some outfield players signed the first week of the window but the fact our only signing has been a GK speaks volumes , if your not going to sack or back him then what is the plan??

The worry is there isn’t a plan any more about the team.
Was the football team purely a vehicle by which the stadium and its multitude of uses could be created?
Now it’s up and running, are ENIC even arsed about Champions League any more? For a long time it was the overriding objective. More important than cups (& more lucrative)
Now?
They seem happy to let stumblebum Ange lurch from crisis to crisis.

Maybe just gambling that we’ll win a few when players return and we bin him off the end of the season.

The fans will turn on Ange though. Sunday could get very toxic.

It's mad.

Before Wolves, its a must win otherwise hes gone

Beofre Tamworth, ditto (0-0)

Before EFC, its must win, otherwise he's gone

If we don't beat Leicester and he still in charge, I will be gobsmaked.

how many must wins will we not win before he's booted out
