Management Johan Lange - Technical Director

It's the shit recruitment over many years for me, Clive

Nah, because whilst it's shit, it's not relegation worthy. You can't tell me Xavi Simons, Muani, Gallagher, VDV, Bissouma, Solanke, who we can field at the moment, are Championship level.

It's simply we had a fucking terrible manager in charge, well two in a row. If we'd sacked him earlier, and made the change, we wouldn't be in this position.

But they've left it too late.

Fair enough.

But if we do go down, it'll be 3 managers in a row that havent been able to fix the league form (Ange, Frank, Tudor).

That tells me the primary reason we are failing is because we haven't got the players for a fight.

I think there is a major confidence crisis and simply the players have forgot how to win in the league. On top of having two managers with pathetic tactical ideas (Ange) or the players didn't buy into at all (Frank). Plus no doubt we do have some dodgy characters which we need to weed out in the summer regardless. And Romero is a disgrace of a captain.

I don't think we can judge Tudor whatever happens as he's firefighting and hasn't got much time.

But put it this way, if you put Emery in charge of this squad in the summer of 2024 or 2025, do you think we'd be seeing the season like this? The club would be in this state?

The manager is critical. Get a good one, you can fight right at the top, get it wrong, you can go down. And that's with our current squad.

It's not as bad as we are seeing. The CL to an extent shows we aren't THAT bad in terms of ability.

We just have to pray Tudor can work some magic and get the players grinding some wins out.

But I have mentally prepared myself that we are going down, it's easier that way.

Yep, sacked Frank months and months too late. Was the correct decision to eventually sack him as I'm certain he'd have related us, and now we have a fighting chance.

Blaming a man who had a week to prepare, playing the first placed side team in the league, with 10/11 players missing seems a tad harsh. I wasn't inspired by the appointment, but whoever it was, I wouldn't allocate any blame given the situation.

Either Lange thinks Bergvall, Kudus, Bentancur, Danso, Udogie, Kulusevski, Maddison are back in short order or he is a total muppet.

I know what I'm going for...
