Management Ange Postecoglou

They won't sack him.

For me the one thing in Ange's favour is that he still has the players. They've all said as much. No stories in the press about how bad training is etc.

That means something. He's also delivered a pot. Maybe next season it's the League Cup or the FA Cup. The players have a taste for it now.

Ultimately I think he will fail and end up being sacked in November. But I just can't see a world where Levy sacks him now.
100% agree with you
 
recall a lot of fapping over Amorin as an Ange replacement before united snapped him up. Haven’t been following united too closely but how did he go once he got there?

Just be careful what you wish for with Ange out calls. Not saying right or wrong, but it’s not a simple thing, could just as easily set the club back a lot further.
I don’t think too many serious posters ever called for Amorim.
 
Whatever happens. No decision should be made, in either direction, by the club whilst we're in the joyous haze of the win and the parade. Hard, honest and long conversations need to be had between manager and club.. Not just coasting into August and seeing where we go for the first couple months. That always ends in disaster. Look at Brendan Rogers at Liverpool being given the first ten games to see where it goes and Ten Hag at Man Utd after he won the cup. We have an opportunity to use this moment as a launching pad. So we need to go forward with purpose and intent. They need to be all in or all out.

One things for sure. If he is going to be the manager in August, he either needs to demand, or be told under no uncertain terms, that he needs top coaches in his staff. It can't just be, "hey I'll work with anyone and it'll be fine".. It won't.
 
I think the decision to sack him was pre-planned weeks ago. That's why we're hearing about the structural changes, including the removal of Scott Munn (an Australian, who brought Ange here, by the way) and the appointment of Fabio Paratici.

Sacking him now, though, would be very problematic in my opinion. Although it might be a rational decision, he's the one who gave us the best moment this club has had in about 40 years. Just look at the parade today — it was bouncing.

Football is all about emotion. Sacking the man who brought that emotion is causing division among the fanbase and also among the players. It would take a top hire, like Inzaghi, to get everyone on board again.

That's why Levy is in a tough spot now. If Paratici comes in, I think Ange is 100% gone. But if Levy suddenly goes with the vibes, rejects Paratici, and meddles with Vinai, it would show his incompetence and reactionary nature.

Ange knows this and is applying pressure with statements like that. He knows that suddenly, momentum is with him. The next few days will be interesting for sure.
 
Levy and co are in a damned if they do damned if they don’t situation, and I must admit that even though I still heavily lean on the fact that the league campaign was simply to poor for him to carry on the players clear respect for the guy makes me wonder which way this will go, will him being sacked genuinely cause unrest amongst them?, how much will the good feeling of the last few days be soured by it?, this has got a lot deeper and more difficult than I ever thought it would be, I also ponder that if he’d shown this ability to adapt in the middle of the season would we even be having these discussions?, and it’s only fair to add that’s he’s been absolute class in the lead up to the final and since we won it.

This is turning into the most important point. You'd feel like the lot of them will revolt if he gets sacked.

Rightly or wrongly this trophy i think buys him another summer.

A lot of them need to be shipped out!

Everyone has agreed all year long that the squad isn't near good enough. Why should the opinions of players who everyone agrees are mostly below standard enter into it?

Those who belong at the CL level will play for who whomever is here bringing the possibility of more PL success and of CL football. Anyone who "revolts" can see the door.
 
Ok so after we won the cup I was all Ange in he deserves another chance.

But now the dust has settled, I hope Levy has the balls to sack him. He has that cup forever, but lets be honest. He's a crap manager and we cant have another league season like this year.
 
Mmmmm, you think that's a premeditated move to force pressure on to Levy and the board? FMD...

You'd assume a decision has been made prior to that statement..

Some supporters lens on Ange is absolutely disingenuous and absolutely disgraceful in how they come to the conclusions they come to. It's like he's brought you the joy and he's still Judas.

I honestly don't think a decision has been made to continue with Ange, it's too soon after Wednesday. If it has, it's purely emotional and we should all be really worried that our chairman is making such a huge decision like that when he's drunk or hungover on vibes and champagne and not thinking clearly.

Yes I do think that he is trying to make himself unsackable with that line.

The quotes about unfinished business, that line tonight, he's sending a message to Levy and the board that he wants to stay and deliver more. But he shouldn't get that chance.

Unfortunately I'm not falling for his bullshit and I hope the club don't either.

I can just imagine starting next season utter shit, and he'll start wheeling out the old excuses again, injuries, too many games, CL such a big step up, squad not big enough. He'll spin it, and some people on here will be falling over to excuse him yet again.

No, thanks. .This league season was enough for me, he needs to go. I can't accept what he delivered in the league, being absolutely battered by every team we came up against. One night in Bilbao doesn't change that for me. It just makes his departure be on better terms.

Unfortunately I am worried the club may make the wrong decision and we will suffer for it all next year, and all this goodwill and momentum will vanish.
 
This momentary wave of sentimentality will be our ruin

He’s 1.0 PPG as our manager.

Over two full seasons.

How can anyone see this and say “yes give me more of that”?
Even 1ppg will be enough to keep us up next season 😁
If Ange delivers more silverware in the shape of a league, FA cup or champions league hell even the super cup and good runs in the league and other cup competitions ill take it over your negativity all day long

Spot on. Ange knew what he was doing.
