Holy shit we’re actually praising him for losing every single game with the worst GD because they attacked. The cultists are not ok.

Australia might not be talented but nor are many sides who do OK at tournaments and Australian teams have done OK at tournaments in the past.

All any of you are proving is how shite his methods are without a massive talent advantage.

Of course he is. He’s saying if Postecoglou is removed I’ll look to move on. If it’s not just journo BS, then what is he trying to do other than influence the club’s decision?

End of the day, the club will decide if he's sold or not.

What it COULD BE is that Cuti's team have heard that Ange is going and they are using it preemptively as a excuse for him to push for a move without damaging his rep and relationship with the fans.

What will change is that we will go into season 3 with a highly motivated squad who have tasted success and have gone on the record as wanting more of it! The small fact that they want to go on with a manager they trust does not seem to resonate much with some Ange haters in here!

I can see the rationale behind sacking Ange. The league form was sackable and it was his decision to have a younger recruitment profile. Or at least he’s claimed that responsibility. He also struggled massively with 2 competitions last year and we lost every game after the EL. Being in the CL should make that harder.

But people massively underestimate the value of this squad being winners now and their self belief in what they can achieve with this manager needs to be given a chance to get some completion. Either it will fail and he’s gone by December and the whole thing has no what ifs… or it absolutely kicks on much better than anyone could have expected.

We’ve started both Ange seasons with strong performance levels, with the right recruitment this summer, there’s a non-zero chance that we are able to maintain those levels this time.

I think the term Ange haters is just too extreme for use in a lot of cases.

I like the bloke (when he’s not surly post loss), and I get very emotional watching the Europa League win and I think it’s an unfortunate situation if he leaves after such a momentous occasion, but I’m also objective enough to realise he’s not equipped to compete at this level.

If we get a tactically astute manager in I don’t see why this winning mentality going forward should evaporate! If anything I think it could galvanise the squad once the new manager earns their respect.

That highly motivated feeling you refer to can quickly dissipate once we start turning in poor performances irrespective of who the manager is. Based on last season I think it’s worth rolling the dice on a replacement rather than sit on our hands and hope.

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.

Looking at our managers history, of the last seventeen appointed under Levy, from unknowns to the best of the best none have covered the club in glory.

The EL win under Ange has covered over the worse top flight season in ninety years, and if we looked at CV's only Conte would be back on Monday. Without Kulu, Madders, and Bergvall we still won the final summing up the quality teams we played in the competition. We scoff at the Conference League but the EL is little stronger.

We won well done, now like United or City or Scouse would have done, we move on.

Iraola for me, Glasner shouldn't be ruled out, but if i an paying 2,300 quid next season for a season ticket then I don't expect to witness half of those games ending in defeat.

Ange has to win twelve more games (on average) to make a top four place next season. He has little ability to do that.

Levy needs to pull the trigger next week.
