The lucky devil will be able to relax by the pool, scrolling through this thread, seeing what the fans think :)

He might even be tempted to sign up and say what he thinks. He's an Aussie after all - they're not known for being shy & retiring!

If you're reading this, Ange, what do you think, mate?

This will be done and dusted today, he’s told Celtic he wants to leave.

looks like Nagelsmann was lined up for PSG job all along so we didn’t really have a chance of landing him

Nice.

Honestly, not worried by Ange, the questions are still the same for Levy and the board.

What's the plan? what's the structure? and prob most of all, what's the budget?

The squad is a mess. How serious are they about helping this guy ti fix it?

The plan is (and has always been) "my dear lucky star, may I please strike gold once more" = invest as little as possible but hope it delivers an incredible ROI such as finishing 2nd/3rd, reaching the CL final...them friggin fans will see me as a bloody genius.

The structure is simple: Uncle Dan Dan is the daddy and whatever he says, the peasants below him just gotta execute like good little yes bitches. But if/when it fails, that's obviously on them.

The only budget he's interested in, is the influx of cash coming into his & ENIC's deep pockets. Fuck doing things the right way as far as the squad is concerned. Just extend Dier's contract, buy Lenglet for cheap from Barca...to team up with just like a new signing Tanguy/Reggy/GLC etc and 1-goal-a-season wonderful Brazil's No 9 Richy
 
Maybe he was first choice all along , a manager who wants to play attacking football , history of success albeit in less demanding leagues , said it before but we have tried these “proven” winner managers and it hasn’t worked out , its 50\50 whether this will work out but I’m willing to get behind him and enjoy the ride!

*Edit I still reserve the right to bitch and moan if our first 10 games resembles a small welsh town!

People saying the club is in turmoil. It’s not in turmoil, we had a really poor season and the fans vented their anger at the results and style of play.
We have players that are not good enough and need to move on but these problems are easily fixable.

They could be fixed by appointing the right manager, and in my opinion, that is exactly what we are doing.
We think the big name managers are the answer but with Mourinho and Conte, that has proven to be the wrong approach.
We need a manager who plays the type of football that the fans want, a manager that will find the right mix of ripping into the players when they don’t put the required effort in and putting an arm around them to explain what they are doing wrong.
It doesn’t matter if he’s a big name or not, or doesn’t have to have managed Barcelona or Real Madrid in the past, it’s about having the right qualities and having a modern approach to the game. Ange has all these and is the best option to unite the club and the fans.

This is not about defending Levy, I hate the Twat, but I honestly believe he has taken the right approach this time and I’m glad I renewed and looking forward to the start of next season, which hasn’t been the case for some time.

Welcome Ange, you have my full support.

It in turmoil as much as we don’t have a visible plan and haven’t for several seasons and this is the culmination of that.

We could sell Kane for £100m to Real and other player as well buy 2 AM’s, 2 CB’s, back up for Richarlison and another CM who all fit attacking football that Anje will bring.

It’s far more likely we bumble around looking for deals and leave big gaps while potentially having no Kane next season.

This mess can be fixed quickly with a plan but I wait to be shown as always.

57 and this is his first job in a proper league. Doesn't sit right with me.

I'll be shocked if he lasts the season.

10 years older than BMJ when he 'happened' into the job....

I see similarities, (personality/likeability wise) albeit with 10 years more experience AND some trophies to bring to the table.

I think we'll be pleasantly surprised....

...and if not, at least the football will be fun!

We've been used to no trophies for a while now.... but shocking, turgid football and STILL no trophies was something many weren't prepared to accept!

Yes, successful team Win ugly, sometimes...

If we Win/lose or draw playing entertaining football at least, most will take that...

But losing ugly like the last few years... No thanks!

Hopefully Ange will bring some of the fun back into our football... and make us remember who and why we fell in love with!

We'll maybe need to lower expectations of immediate trophy success... but that's nothing new.

...we all thought we were guaranteed a trophy with 'serial Winners' Jose and Conte at the helm... and look how that turned out?!
