As the high of yesterday settles. It’s still very clear that he’s got to go. Performances across the board have not been good enough for a very long time. I’m happy that he adjusted and we won a trophy. Is there a middle ground between that and the suicide ball? I haven’t set it. Definitely didn’t see it in the 2nd leg against Liverpool. I think we get caught up in this “don’t let the media diminish our achievements” mindset that then we also don’t look at it objectively. We beat a really crappy Man U, who we’ve already beat 3 times. We had a good scrappy win over Frankfurt. Outside of that, I haven’t really been impressed in any of our performances. Yes, winning mentality and all that is great but don’t let that gloss over what is the big picture.

Thank you for what you have done but I think we’ll regret it if we don’t move on.

Oh careful, you'll be accused of not celebrating or enjoying the win because you've pointed out this United team aren't very good.

We aren't surprising shit. We were marginally more effective than the worst United team in history last night. It was a quality devoid shit off between two teams going nowhere fast under their coaches. We just happened to be marginally more competent and won it, thanks to a few players at the back turning up.

He's either stepping down "magnanimously" (dream world) or we're ending up mid-table until he goes next season. Which is a waste of everyone's time, but will likely happen as everyone is going to make this trophy win far too emotional and ignore the reality. As expected.

Bit emotional for me.

We have always had some very high level performances this season.

Football can be funny like that sometimes and its far from guaranteed we will be shit under Ange next season.
 
I have no idea what to do about Ange. Ask me in a few months.

Until yesterday it was obvious he needs to go due to the reckless tactical inflexibility, but this team is still very together, that win was down to flexibility, and so he probably deserves another window and a few months. But I'm 90% sure the wheels will come off.

I knew this was going to happen if we win. I'm still Ange out because we all know deep inside his style of football is not sustainable in the PL. We were really lucky that we didn't get relegated and still won a trophy. He definetely has luck on his side and that is a part of his skill. But even luck runs out with time. Its best he leaves when we have a good memory of him. If he stays and we are shit in the league again with CL... it will be a very messy situation.

We need to take the next step and build on this win, with the money, get an elite manager back him and try to go for glory. That is the only thing left for us. I don't know if Ange is the man that can do that... no, I KNOW he is not that man. Let's move on guys.

It's good that you mention harry7 there. Some of the most disgusting cyber bullying I've seen has been the abuse and campaign to get him removed from the site, all because he's consistently stuck to backing the manager.

Whilst I don't agree with much of what he's posted, he's done nothing but put forward his opinion and belief, which I respect.

The pond scum who have continually tried to hound him out are the same cunts that were whining about being "entitled to their opinion" when it ran against the grain.

I don't recall anyone trying to get them banned for their opinion.

Now we're getting history rewritten to paint them as victims?

Fucking low lifes.

Lol we've had like maybe 3 or 4 "high level performances" in an entire season. That's why we are 17th.

THAT United team were unbeaten in that competition till last night. Fucking THAT United team! Jesus.

Almost nothing is ever guaranteed but there's zero reason to belief we improve. Last night wasn't some team coming together as a well coached side.

All academic. No way the club sack him after last night, but he might walk himself. I hope he gets one more chance to build on last night, this is unknown territory for us so people should keep an open mind.
