It was ok yes. He had a monster new manager bounce. Have to give him some credit for that. Made a big mistake surrendering CC at Fulham.

At the start of this season I said on this Board I'd take a low league position and a cup, and I 100% stand by that. I just think now (A) the monkey is off the back (B) our league form is so bad and the risk of relegation (C) the inherent unlikelihood of a poor manager repeating the same trick ... that we can and should do better.

Fair enough, then maybe it's just me that doesn't seriously think we are at any risk of relegation.

There was a period this season where it started to get a little bit too much that way, and we responded with 3 wins on the bounce to basically ensure relegation wouldn't happen. I think we were safe after those games in February, which is just as well as we got 5 points and 1 win from the next 12 games.

But teams that beat City 5-0 away, United 3-0, Villa 4-1 at home, with some other big results in there, are not serious relegation candidates. Not impossible but clearly too good. Find me any team that got relegated that won 7 games by 3+ goals and I would be very surprised.
 
Don't think we were as fantastic as people maybe remember in those 10 games. We played a lot of duff sides and after Conte, Stellini and Mason, perhaps was easy to look wonderful.
To go from a dreadfully negative, genuinely cowardly team with no spark or life that was totally reliant on Harry Kane for chance creation to selling Kane, immediately benching three other ever-presents (Lloris, Dier, Hojbjerg), and from minute 1 of game 1 playing Angeball, an entirely different philsosophy of play with entirely different principles, was a really extraordinary revolution. I couldn't believe it at the time.

That doesn't mean those principles are good or sustainable or whatever. Indeed the speed of the transition maybe speaks to it all being overly simplistic and rigid.

But Ange turned the page from a very dark moment in the club's history with unimaginable speed and decisiveness, and if he's done I think that's another thing we have to thank him for.
 
So you just want to go back to being a football club where our aim is top 4 so the money keeps on rolling in for levy , but we never actually win anything?
No. I am pointing out that yes we won a cup. Brilliant. Excellent etc great.
But you can’t ignore the league form. He is taking us to the championship.
He keeps playing in a style that injures our players. He only changed tactics in the Europa to save his reputation.
As for poch I haven’t even mentioned the playing at wembley or not buy any players for two seasons…..
Ange is out of his depth. Someone needs to call and end to the madness.
 
Yeah, I didn't care much about the cupping to his ear. It's human to lose your composure when the pressure's on. But I lost respect for him when he lied about why he did it.
the embarrassing thing is, the goal didn't even stand, then hes lied on top of that. he was always going to lie anyway, as hes never going to admit why he ear cupped, but for the goal to be ruled off too

It’s the one learning to coach in Australia

Keep clinging on to your ignorance mate. It suits you
After a career playing at the highest level for club and country, something you're deliberately ignorant of. He's not someone who's spent his whole career in Aus, Japan & Scotland before getting a Prem job is he but then you know that already, simply lashing out cos your idol is in danger, tut tut.
 
Got a bad feeling he'll be given the start of the season.

Thought it would happen today.
In fairness the word has been, "decision this week".. It is only Monday.. I don't think that "no announcement" is an indicator in either direction. Because either way, there'll be an announcement of some sort.. If he's going, it'll be a club statement.. And if he's staying it'll be a briefing to the press.
