He's not sacking him imo.

He's probably thinking we'll win the next Euro game - with couple players back - then there's pool and villa in cups, back-to-back.

Lose both of those and he'll pull the trigger.

Anything before then would surprise me.
I think he gets canned tonight.

We’re obviously going to get pumped in the cups. Statistically the worst side in the league.

He’s done.
 
To be fair I dish out shit all the time. So maybe it’s a modicum of payback. Only pixels on a screen in the end. I maybe need to give less of a fuck.

If it helps - I'm not aiming a lot of the frustration at you. We disagree on shit loads of things but you are absolutely someone who supports/defends the club and the reason you were defending Ange for so long is because he's part of it, rather than a group of people who absolutely were in on some weird cult of personality thing he had going on.

They are no different to the virus that was the Mourinhoistas to me.
 
This is what some have been backing.

Whilst calling those who haven't, "not real fans".

Unless the fanbase corrects itself, the future for this club is bleak.
Didn’t Man City have a similar run , they backed the manager in the transfer market and now look at them!

Yes very true mate. It matters nothing in the end really. I have given out plenty myself in the past and have made a concerted effort to try and stop because it doesn’t benefit anybody.
Whoever we appoint next, im straight on the first page to call him a useless cunt and say he’s going to end up sacked. I’ll be even more insufferable than usual eighteen months later when the inevitable happens.

Long term goals. 👍
 
He’s toast

So is the next sucker. Just a matter of time
He's toast because he's tactically the worst manager we've ever had.

We don't know who the "next sucker" is so quit trying to infect everyone else with your negativism because your guy has proven to be such an epic failure.



Let's get rid of this utter clown first and then hope we get the next appointment right (which Levy has done a few times tbh).
 
I’ve backed the manager until the last few weeks. Doubts came in after Rangers and I’ve been fully out for the past few games.

Because I changed my mind.

No agenda. No disliking him for being a fat cunt. Just an opinion that changed with what I was seeing.

Hopefully, I will be allowed to stay on the forum, that I’ve been a member of for longer than most of you, even though I had the temerity to have an opinion some didn’t agree with.

It would also be nice if I was allowed to continue to support the club I’ve supported for 43 years too.

I shall await the express affirmation from the forum and club bosses. The ones that were right all along.
I'm in a similar position, and admire you for posting yours. I was behind Ange in the first few months of this season when in my opinion (not to mention that of most pundits, and all objective statistical analysis) our results were not reflective of our performances, which so many on here totally failed to grasp. We deserved so many more points than what we had by mid-October.

But in the last couple of months the performances have fallen apart, we don't seem to have any idea how to defend, where to be when our teammate looks likely to lose the ball in 3 seconds' time, we just don't look well-coached. I know there are lots of injuries, but some of this stuff is so basic, and even with so many injuries we should be able to get some results, our club of our stature shouldn't be in a position where an injury crisis means we lose every single game for months on end. And right now it looks as though if we stay as we are, we'll not win another league game this season. Sounds a bit hyperbolic, maybe it is, but if we can't get anything from Everton or Leicester, then who are we getting points from? We won't necessarily get battered in any of the remaining games - strangely, we never do - but a loss is a loss.

One more key factor for me - others may have different opinions, which of course they are welcome to, but for me, Ange had not until very recently lost the dressing room. If anything, when you look at games like the Chelscum game, the players were trying to hard and consequently making mistakes. But today when the 7 minutes board went up (ridiculous as it should have been at least 12, but hey ho), after that point there were several instances where the players looked like they didn't care any more or thought it was impossible to score, they had no urgency or desire. And at that point, rightly or wrongly, usually it means the manager is done. :(

For me, the game that made me realise Ange wasn't up to the job was Newcastle away last season. He admitted to not watching our previous games against Newcastle as it was "irrelevant" and then proceeded to lose by playing tactics perfectly suited to how they'd want us to play.

He's got zero tactical nous, and arrogant to go with it.

LOL at the poor martyr, fuck off you clown with the holier than thou theatrics, you've firmly nailed your mast to this incompetent buffoon, if you've changed your mind the only words needed were "I was absolutely wrong about this manager", not fucking line after line about changing opinions and how long you've been on an online forum, and hoping you'll be mercifully allowed to keep supporting the club.
