It’s an open secret that Ange sets out the playing philosophy and then looks for his coaching team to instil this in the players.

Do you think a scenario where Ange stays in post, but there are whole scale changes made in the back room staff and calibre of assistant coaches, be considered as an alternative to the status quo or a completely fresh start?

I hope Levy chooses the first option.

We've seen it before with Ramos. Kept him on too long and it was 2 points from 8 games the following season. Could genuinely see that next season too. Players can talk about how happy they are and how much they're a family and playing for the manager, but that doesn't project out onto the pitch enough. Just says to me they're too comfortable. We've lost 25 games in all comps this season. Winning a major trophy doesn't negate that for me. Some of the results this season have been a disgrace, Ipswich, Leicester at home, Everton, Tamworth, wolves home and away.

Again, this doesn't mean I'm not grateful to Ange and will always have love for him for getting us over the line. But I don't think he's the guy to get us to the top. He's certainly never going to win the pl and/or CL in the next 5 years.

As much as people over-egg the pudding with this, but Ramos did have his strike partnership picked apart at the end of the window. We didn't just have Frazier Campbell, but we didn't replace Berba and Keane until Redknapp brought in Defoe (?) and Keane.

Granted, Redknapp proved the squad wasn't so bad, and I think a huge part of Ramos' downfall was because he'd lost the squad with the ketchup rules, lack of english etc.

I think Ange is a different scenario to Ramos, AVB, and Poch in the "we should have binned them in the pre-season"

'looks like Ange has his Captain's vote, most of the squad seem to be fully behind him tbf, including Maddison who supposedly hated him according to someone.

I still think i'd take Xavi right now though, Ange can walk away as a Legend rather than be on rounds of abuse again next season.
But if the squad harmony is so strong right now then i doubt there's much Levy can do except let him continue.

In that case i'd maybe suggest new talent on the coaching team, ideally mason get's a job in the summer and we can bring in some pretty adept

Lmao, 2 whole messages. What cunts multi are you?

‘Destroyed’ - it’s the same bullshit people have been saying all season. Ange is the man to lead us blah blah. 17th in the fucking premier league.

You guys are too thick to argue with, I would honestly rather debate philosophy with my cat.

Glasner is about to extend his contract.

But for argument sake, that is getting closer to the type of profile you would need to stand a chance.

IMO Glasner isn’t worth the risk. Hes won EL but so have we now. Why take a gamble on a sideways step?

It will be interesting on how the club move with this, I don't think you can sack him just to hire a Frank or Iraola or Silva, I think you genuinely need a big name like Xavi so you can justify the sacking.
 
For Ange to stay he will have to convince Paratici that he will not play the same brainless, reckless football in the league next season. Anyone with any understanding of football can see that it doesn’t work. Even Ange threw it all in the bin to try and win the EL.

Ange and his coaches lack of elite experience will always make me nervous but if he is willing to abandon Angeball and focus on the basics, I’d feel slightly more comfortable about him staying. It’s not ideal to have a 60 year old who is still learning the ropes at this level but it would be something to cling on to. If his pitch to Paratici is just Angeball with a couple of more experienced players, then he can be shown the door.

Xavi without doubt is a big name as a player, but if you take that away surely from a management perspective the other three are much more experienced?

He’s not getting sacked.

Doubt it will be that interesting at all.

The transfer market will be more interesting imo. Part wondering if Levy and Paratici try to hunt a big fish or even 2.

Just look at their management CV’s.

Xavi wouldn’t have been considered for the Barca job if he wasn’t a Barca man.

It’s a bit like Lampard at Chelsea.

Did Lampard win the league at Chelsea?

What am I looking at on their CV's btw, do you mean more experienced as in they've managed longer or do you mean more experienced in the type of competitions they've managed in?

Here's to you Ange:
Onwards and upwards next season!
 
LOL.

Some of you are going to be devastated when he is sacked next week.

If we don't hear leaks via the usual journalists that Ange is staying over the next few days, he is 100% gone.

The silence is deafening in terms of there has been nothing from the club backing Ange in any shape or form whatsoever.

If he was going to be our manager next season, you'd expect to hear something along that lines from the club over the next few days.

Why would they release a statement backing him, straight after a trophy win? I don’t think you can read anything into it right now.

My guess is he starts next season.
