Lol you mean 62% of the whopping 79 people who voted in this poll - which we all know is only populated by the small minority of handsome, charismatic good guys and a horde of crazed Derangers who just can't let go.

A much larger amount of people on this site voted in this poll asking if we'd have Ange back over Frank

Management - Fun Poll : Big Ange or Thomas the Frank engine

:ange-bored: or :franksnarl: No option for fence sitting. And your vote is anonymous too so relax I'll abstain for now Edit. Nah...just voted

Unsurprisingly the more normal majority went with the appropriate answer :D

Yeah except that’s not a similar question at all. Most people can see sacking Ange was right, we just failed at things afterwards.

The poll was even more one sided when it was its own thread btw.

Sacked higher in the league than Ange left us and 4th in Europe’s top tier competition btw. Without Kulu, Maddison, son etc btw.

Frank was rubbish but still improved us 😉.

This thread produces absolute gold nuggets.

Has anybody seen the film Tenet??
Where people are moving backwards through time.

I’m pretty sure Zomb is living in that world.
Pretty much exactly this is what has happened …… in reverse.

He posted this back on page 50.

“agree. That’s why I was an advocate of relegation to really clear the decks. We have more than enough financial resilience to bounce straight back and it would surely see Lewis’s daughter oust Levy and employ a fit and proper CEO and also sack the long self serving echo chamber of Cullen et al.

I also think a season rucking with Millwall, Cardiff etc should see off the day trippers and Koreans so match day would be much more authentic and hopefully these tossers would drift down the Thames to Fulham’s new selfie spot

Would almost certainly achieve four things:
- Championship (trophy)
- Shit players gone
- Cunt faux fans gone
- Most importantly, change of leadership with Levy, Cullen etc GONE”
 
I watched the PSG v Bayern game early this morning.
Probably the best game of football I've ever watched.

And it reminded me of some of the first games under Ange.
High press, sublime passing and just full-on attacking.

I think that was the way Ange wanted us to play.
It's a pity that the management didn't back him with the TIME & PLAYERS he wanted!!!

That's football as a result of Ange ball with top players, people won't admin it but it's true.

Main reason he 'failed' here because the players were too shit for his style of play.

A good manager needs to work with what he has. Why did it work for the first ten games and never again? Players have not changed?

And yeah, every team from the Premier League to the National League wants to play like Bayern or Paris. There are reasons why they can't and need to focus on the shit they actually can do, to be succesful in their limits.

Because he was too stubborn to change it, that was his downfall, not his tactics.

After the first 10 matches what was the major thing that happened in that Chelsea match?

Hansi Flick isn't doing fuck all with Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner by the way either.

If you are too stubborn to change your tactics, because every team in the league had figured out what to do against it, the tactics are the downfall.

Hansi Flick probably does not finish 17th and regressing by every game either.

Hansi Flick has been accused of just that on many occasion, he got killed by the media and Barca fans for continuing to attack Inter in the Semi Final last season, that generally doesn't stop him from winning stuff though and dominating most teams because of the players he has at his disposal.

Flick is probably more stubborn than Ange, doubtful he would have changed his tactics with our lot and would have most probably gone out of that EL in the Quarters.

Do you think Kompany is a shit coach because he got relegated with Burnley? Or do you think he's magically become a world class coach because he has Kane and Olise to work with?

I am not sure what you want to say but whatever it is, it does not take away the point hat Ange's failure in the league has more to do with himself than the players he had available. And its pretty hilarious to make comparisions with managers who have proven themselves more ten times on the highest stage than Ange, who is out of the job as he earned 0,25 points per game during his last appointment.
