Had so many people fooled too. Used to absolutely like whore with his comments telling everyone what they wanted to hear and making it sound sensible. Farming likes I call it. A mix of come on you spurs and oh aren't these doubters silly, maybe they're gooners! And you're good to go.
Don't forget cheating with online chess against a bunch of internet strangers
 
Ange or not, we probably need a cult like figure to work here. Poch was a cult like leader as well. Klopp also very cult leader in style.

Hating on the idea of a manager being a cult leader is especially dumb because fandom is about being in a cult
I agree, and not to belabour the point but Iraola seems of a Poch mould, likely to stick around and make best use of what we have.
 
We will have far
Going back to 3 CBs will require significant investment at that position.

I wouldn't be against it, but I think we'd have to buy 3 CBs in the next 13 months

Without fatty we will have far fewer injuries

Romero (or replacement), VdV, Drag, Davies, Vuskovic and one new signing. Would be fine

it was so weird that interview. The ONE time he smiled and looked the interviewer in the eye.

Even if Fatty Nah Mate gets the sack, Levy's going to find someone who he thinks can get more out of the players he's got already, as he *always* does. The chances of Levy buying several decent players in winter in fair weather is zero, least of all when the club is in turmoil
 
Actually, his personality is arguably his biggest strength. I know it sticks out like a sore thumb because it is not backed by anything concrete, but it's a crucial asset a manager must have regardless.

That's probably how he got the job in the first place with that vastly underwhelming resume of his, and also got these players to believe in his unorthodox -to say the least- ideas.
A wimpy version of him would have lost the dressing room before the first kick-off. Someone who lacks an aura like his ( I don't know, Solskjaer maybe?) faces the risk of becoming too buddy-buddy with players. It's not sustainable in the long run.

I don't think Romero was putting up an act when he was singing Ange's praises for example. He knows how to talk the talk, that's what makes him captivating to some. So he doesn't seem like one that would lose the dressing room due to what's happening on the pitch. Players are still playing for him, albeit mostly unsuccessfully.

Yep, fair post, although it's also possible that stronger characters may have called this paucity of performance and results out.

I guess it's how you choose to look at it.
