Scottish league is 43rd in the world. J-League is 26th.
Championship is 11th. Would you be happy if some rando championship gaffer was put in charge next year?

No worries- we'll just sink further and further down the prem standings. Eventually we might not even have to worry about football at all.
I’ve been with you, arm in arm, since Ange joined. But it’s gone far too far now. Even if the club had got in a couple of players to strengthen things, I’d maybe be less annoyed. But if they aren’t supporting him, why the fuck should I? Don’t think he’s getting enough effort from the players above all else.
However, like you, I don’t ever see this eighteen month rotation of managers ever working. That’s certainly why I hung on as long as I did. I’d love to be strong minded enough to still be behind him, but this rough patch is just too rough for me.
But it’s probably the most realistic outcome.
Clearly a reason why money isn’t been spent this month. ENIC don’t want to be here, and won’t invest anymore, Levy wants to stay but can’t afford to without backing.
I think he meant the club has no winning culture, the mentality of players is weak and the owners are more interested in revenue rather than winning on the pitch. Managers get sacked but that doesn’t change the underlying issues. We’re not a club where winning on the field is demanded as the priority. The players know that too.
That’s ok, we’ve got the concerts, NFL and go carts. And the largest exhibition centre outside of central London.
So Ange shoulders none of the blame? Nope, I can't get behind that at all.
At a minimum his mismanagement of the players is enough.
As more time passes, this rant becomes more legendary.
A winner that wouldn't accept Levys mediocrity and called the bald man out. The fact that he had to leave when Levy stayed is what the problem is and always will be. Conte showed more passion for a club that he had spent 5 minutes at than Levy has in 20 years.
New cufflink sponsor ?
I like the way she articulates herself. I’d certainly be happy to discuss tactics and football with her after I’ve smashed her back doors in.
New contract mate?
And owners pick the managers and sign off new players - I wish he had made that a bit clearer. Props to him though, no other manager had the Balls. I imagine Ange will even suck up to Levy when he leaves.
You thinking of the Nuno ones where they went loud, Levy looked uncomfortable and was it next day Nuno was sacked.
This turnip gone yet?
Ange in?
Im still Sherwood in - that's how fucked up I am...
I think the only way out is through, unfortunately, but there are two confounding factors:
1. You can have all the data driven footballing decision making you want, but when your coaching philosophy is that we'll just throw risk and reason to the wind it doesn't stand a chance.
2. The data approach is likely great for identifying promising players earlier, which we are arguably getting, but you need to have a solid enough core for that to come to fruition. If that gets depleted...well...
Hear that and I don’t blame you.
Unless Ange does a Conte and actively quits on the club or starts getting toxic about being here himself, I’m not budging but tbh I don’t really feel anything anymore. If he goes, he goes, it’s not going to ruin my week. None of these coaches are here long enough for me to get attached anymore. Poch was the last one.
We can’t get rid of Daniel Levy without a multi billion pound buyer. Man United fans are far more organised/passionate than we are - they managed to get a live TV game vs Liverpool cancelled FFS - and they couldn’t touch The Glazers for years.
We all hate Levy - now more than ever - but the fact is that in the last 20 seasons we’ve only finished times outside of the top 6. This manager is a dud. I wanted to wait until the summer but his ineptitude is making it near impossible.
A dud manager is more expendable and always more transitional than a dud chairman.

The Ange stans on bluesky are unbearable. He's just unlucky. We'd be fighting for the title if he had fit players.
Levy has a horrific record of hiring and firing except for Ange apparently.

His journey to this point doesn't matter. Surely having Conte and Jose before shows this?
Ange is brave. To dare is to do - he's almost the epitome of it. He's charismatic and on the up, something to prove at spurs.
What real manager is coming to us at this point? Irolea? Forget about it...
Until the real issue at this club is addressed we will continue to fall as we have been.
