I just wish the club would announce their decision one way or another now. It’s becoming tedious waiting for Levy to make his mind up

I actually think, quite remarkably, that he'll not sack Ange. I read something today, obvs some ITK which of course has every chance of being pure nonsense, but to me it felt in my loins....like it had some truth to it....which is that Levy isn't ready to pull the trigger because the players are have such great faith in him as a manager. Weird times....I just wish the club would announce their decision one way or another now. It’s becoming tedious waiting for Levy to make his mind up
Ange has accumulated a lot of soft power at the club because none of Levy, Lange or Munn are dominant personalities. So the inmates run the asylum in a sense.I actually think, quite remarkably, that he'll not sack Ange.

This is not a slight on either of those three in terms of the job that they are actually doing. But I can't see none of them acting as any sort of counterweight to Ange in regards to the football. Or hold him and his decisions/methods accountable.
Thankfully, by all accounts, we have one such man on the way.
Glasner turns at least half the defeats into draws, and at least a couple draws into wins. I think he'd have 17 or so more points than Ange- at least 55pts for the season, which would have left us in 8th-11th place- throw in two more wins and he gets 61 points, which would have qualified us for EL.
I rate Glasner as a vastly better coach than Ange.
Damn such a shame we didn't qualify for EL and we have to settle for CL instead.
He was desperate to win points in the league up until around the 2nd leg of the Frankfurt game. Only at that point did I really notice him prioritizing EL over PL. He even tried that weird 5-2-3 formation to try and get some better defensive performance but it totally backfired on him as he doesn't appear to know how to teach or coach those kind of tactics.
He's most certainly tried to adjust the narrative by casting his campaign as purely based on EL. He's tried to distract from his complete inability to secure PL points.
Yeah it was real genius to shithouse the worst United team in generations. Amazing stuff.

He doesn't need to announce that an under contract manager is staying, but obviously if he wants to fire and overweight conman, fraud who knows more about the mating of kangaroos than football he will.
My guess is next week.
All players gone, final pay agreed, EL excitement subsided and Aussie Joe throwing scrimp on the barbee in some far off place.
Super. We have a guy who’s glammed onto Levy like a succubus and despite having a decent eye for a player has never ever shown any talent for putting together a well-balanced team or squad. Juve got worse and worse when Marotta left and he was put in charge. And we’ve been a mess for years.Ange has accumulated a lot of soft power at the club because none of Levy, Lange or Munn are dominant personalities. So the inmates run the asylum in a sense.

A guy whose PR far outweighs his track record.
Tottenham Hotspurs sure has a shit show front office upper management and team manager. Shame the fans are Relegated to expect so little from such a Large organization
both their CVs are terrible compared to Ange. iraola has won one pre season cup in cyprus then got sacked by his team in cyprus because he didnt win a game for two months. frank has won nothing in denmark or england.
New manager bounce as well as opposing coaches and players weren’t used to Angeball yet.
Once his tactics had been sussed out (after the first 10 games), results and performances have been, generally poor.
There are other factors as well. After the ten games the injuries started to mount.
I also remember some of our players showcasing the worst of their coach-killer talents with missing goals my mother could tap in and others gifting goals her mother could save.
The form fell because of injuries and having to player Emerson Royal and Ben Davies at center back.
I'll happy wager that we will be in the title race next season
Ange lost Kane......so what?
The win % with our best players is over 70%. The system works.
However, they go to shit when injuries happen and inexperienced players are expected to step up.
Royal and Grey should never have been playing CB. Reggie and Spence aren't good enough backups for Udogie and Porro. Bergvall did step up, but also made a number of costly mistakes. Odobert, Tel and Moore not ready from Premier League at this level.
Newcastle have been a better team than Spurs this season. Won more matches, even their opponent in their cup final was far superior than who we beat in ours.
And yet fans can beat ENIC/Levy for trying to be consistent to give manager time.
Ah the injury excuse lingers on. We were far better in the League Cup and Europa Cup when the 'system was ditched even with the injuries.
