True but it just makes the clubs lack of action in the transfer market all the more baffling. Levy has never not acted before - either by sacking the manager or moving in the market to achieve some sort of hope of European football. Or both.

Why is it baffling? We’ve been rolling like this for years. They’ll wait it out right to the end of the window to bring in some jokers on loan. Then our resident cheerleaders will get to work hyping these guys as great work and obvious improvements.

What’s baffling is that anybody expects any different. It’s like you haven’t actually been following this club in recent years.

Don’t worry Todd, whether he goes now or at the end of the season, I’m going to pop up and tell you what a great fucking coach he was and how he would have been successful if it wasn’t for those pesky injuries

I know you will...just like the rest of the "I can't be wrong" holdouts. Just like your weird hatred of Poch...

Well, with our broken squad, we have beaten Villa, United (twice), City (twice), Liverpool; and managed to go 2-0 up against Chelsea until our players got out their sick notes.

So, the real question we have.

1. Who do you fancy to win the League Cup? Ange who has knocked out City, United and taken us into the 2nd leg with Liverpool with an advantage, or someone else?
2. Europa League is our primary target this season. 10 games left to win it. If Ange can get Romero, VDV, Udogie back, do we have a chance of winning this?

Or do you prefer to abandon the comps, and focus on 'stay up'

3. Premier League. Sure, we can bring in an emergency Pulis to keep us up - but where does that leave us next season when the players are fit again?

What about Ange's record vs Woolwich and Newcastle fills you with the confidence that we've got a chance? Even if we somehow manage to scrape through against Liverpool, he has taken 4 points from an available 24 in the league against those two teams. It amazes me that people think we're gonna come away from Anfield with anything tbh, does anyone really think this team under this manager has the fight and desire to beat a side that talented in a game with qualification on the line? They had their foot off the gas against us in the first leg and still spurned half a dozen chances to score. We are not winning a cup under this joker, I really don't understand how anyone still hasn't dispelled themselves of that notion.

Means fuck all sadly. Just punters lumping cash on the most obvious names, and Iraola is the present flavour of the month. Doubt there's anything more to it than that.

For what it's worth, he's second favourite on most sites after Terzic. Who I wouldn't be interested in, given what I've heard from Dortmund fans. Nor do I think Iraola (or Silva, McKenna, etc) would join us midseason.

IMO we just need someone to get us to the summer & then have our pick of the good managers then.

As for that Ornstein video, Jesus H christ is it terrifying. Let's hope he's just being fed some bullshit PR by the board. If they genuinely still think Ange is a good manager then this club is doomed. This board will continue to take us down the league. Maybe not relegation, not yet, but back to being bottom half regulars in the next few years, no question. We're fucking finished, because if they think Ange is good they have no idea what makes a good coach and therefore there's zero chance they'll make the right call on the next manager. Maybe they strike it lucky like with Poch or Redknapp, but 2 in 25 years ain't good odds. Blind idiots throwing darts at a board would do better.

Ignore him, he's just in meltdown mode given the bloke he's been touting as a tactical genius for 18 months has been outed as a complete fraud.

It's one of only three things Ange is basically has full Svengali like powers and Levy is hypnotised, we have incoming owners even in part who want a say, or most likely, we have tapped up Iraola or Silva and they have agreed to come in the summer and will not walk out of their teams. The last seems most plausible.

You’d think if they really were keeping Ange they’d at least try to buy us another attacker to help avoid relegation, eh?

I'm pro-Ange, but his relentless style would only work if we had a quality squad allowing for rotation. Looks like Levy won't bother, so there's no point.

I’m pro-Ange, even if the relentless style destroys our squad and means we cannot field a fit first XI. Looks like footballers get injured from mad tactics though, so there’s no point.

We might still be in three cups but we won't be if we go into crunch games with Ange at the wheel.
Pool will annihilate us if we try play Ange ball at Anfield, Villa will likely beat us as well, unless we get a few back and get them on an off day.

What about those crunch games against City, United and the first leg against Liverpool? Do those performances not count?

We sat back against Woolwich and absorbed pressure quite well. We got the first goal, but were unlucky that Solanke scored at the wrong end.
