He’s hanging on to the job by his fingernails and there’s zero chance another PL team gives him a try afterwards so he’s not got a position of strength to go after the board unlike Conte or Jose, two of the most feted managers of their generation or Poch who had a body of work to lean on.
Nothing to lose is a position of strength from a certain perspective, plus I think it's really more a matter of his emotions in the moment than any intentional messaging strategy.
Do nothing, drop out of the cups in the week after the window closes, make Ange the scapegoat for those losses, minimize fixtures to maximize energies in the league to avoid a catastrophic relegation (and perhaps a last-gasp dash for European football), with no obligation to buy anything for the new manager because the window is closed.
I'm starting to believe that this might be the case. It's very similar to when Newcastle were negotiating their takeover.
Pissed off for no good reason mostly. I don’t care much for his grumpy old man routine. He can get to fuck with that shit.
Dont want any united players. Mainoo perhaps but the rest are damaged goods.
If he's shit then sack him. But then a new manager would demand a frantic and desperately needed spree of expenditures.

Not so inexplicable now, is it?
