I understand the feeling that Levy might see this as the one that needs to work out.
But don't a lot of them feel like that in the moment?
No manager had the fans on their side like Pochettino. So Levy couldn't be seen to let him down.
There was no way Levy could survive being the only chairman that couldn't win a trophy with Jose.
When Conte was hired, I think it was said by all, that there was no hiding place for Levy if this one didn't work.
But after time passes we realise that he knows that he doesn't really need anything to work out. What are we gonna do? Vote him out in the next election? Any bad press he gets from failure with another manager is something that he knows will be ridden out after a month or so.
We’ve kinda sat through that movie twice before
Also … everyone does alright at Dortmund
Kinda listed some examples in my post.
Very good
, and it literally will be a long March for all of us.so you wanna change not playing out from the back and the high line? so basically you wanna change enough to make it a completely different system then.
there is no tweeks to this system to make it successful at top level football. its brain dead stuff.
oh and you want the manager to adapt in game to the circumstances loool.
Getting rid of Ange is the wrong thing to do.
STYLE
Playing defensive, pragmatic football is for teams that just want to 'survive' in the league. If you want to win, you have to be attacking. City and Liverpool have dominated for that reason. However, this system only works with a world class keeper and centre backs. We won't progress with centre backs who are always injuries and a keeper who cannot defend set pieces.
CULTURE
Ange is changing the culture of the club. He's spoken many times that mental weakness and a loser attitude dogs the players. We signed a lot of our players from relegation battlers - they do not know how to be successful, only to survive. There is no confidence, no swagger, no arrogance.
If the club wants to be successful, they can only do that by getting the right players. Another change of coach just starts the merry go round of mediocrity again.
World class keeper
World class centre back

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic?
I like playing out from the back, but we take it to suicidal extremes.
I like playing a high line, but it's an unnecessary risk when you're up multiple goals, or when you're playing a back line of substitutes and out of position players uncomfortable playing together.
Completely agree, and until the the people upstairs are willing to take a big financial risk, and up the ante when it comes to transfer time, we can "want" until the cows come home unfortunately, no matter who the manager is.
He’s also having to change style of play from Moyesball!
He never shows any passion or fight on the touchline. May just be shy out there and is more comfortable getting angry at reporters.
Add in dorrington surely we must encourage and give our own academy players a chance.
Be great to get all the quotes from posters that kept going on about Ange’s first season is to bed in his philosophy and 2nd season you watch us goCup treble incoming
I got called all sorts fir saying mason should go as well!
He doesn’t want control but then says we need to beeter at it
With no injuries or not that many!
Every cloud...
If , probably when he goes I hope to fuck that the back room staff get shot too . We have a terrible coaching staff full of failures & nepotism , probably all done on the cheap
That’s how serious the board take the footballing side of the operation
