Because I’m being realistic about who’d actually come to work for our bald cunt chairman. Potter doesn’t want the job for ffs. Wouldn’t be surprised if McKenna weren’t interested despite his connections to the club - he supposedly turned down a chance to take charge of Blue Scum this summer so ... or do you seriously think Xabi Alonso is a possibility?

Nobody decent will work for levy, ange is a yes man to the ENIC philosophy.
Levy can't be trusted, he would say one thing then do something else.
Club is stuck in a rut with them,best facilities in the land, with a dog shit product on the pitch, the gap will never be breached.
 
Goon fans going berserk after Chelsea equalise.
Arteta should be hung, drawn and quartered.
Chav fans saying their new manager needs to be sacked.
You can't blame them, can you?
OK, they are 3rd and 4th in the EPL but they are only 3 points clear of Spurs.

I want Kieran McKenna - Spurs youth product and former gaffer of our U-18s as our next manager. I’d prefer Xabi Alonso but that’s a pipe dream - He’s next up at Real Madrid so he’s not coming to work for Levy. Wonder how Slot woukd be doing for us if our bald cvnt had been willing pay his release clause - or even Poch.

I didn't even realize he was ours, or that he was coaching Ipswich, but ya, damn, sounds like a guy that'd at least be personally interested in the club. He coached his side well to beat us today.

I don't seriously think XA is a possibility. He's in line for the best of jobs and we are an absolute poisoned chalice for managers.
 
The league table shows how competitive this league is. The top two will pull away and it’s a big fight for Europe. For us to be only 3 points off 3rd is fucking bonkers considering we’ve lost 5 games out of 11.

he sacked mourinho before a final, cups mean fuck all to him.

we are 1 point ahead of 13th after 11 games. the only thing keeping us out of the bottom half right now is GD.

Wasnt Poch sacked the week after losing to Colchester though?

And 1 point ahead of 13th but also 3 behind 3rd so I dont think the permutations will factor in currently. Not defending Angela but the situation isn't as bad as it seems due to the inconsistency of the other teams at the top.

I can't see him surviving that run of games after the break anyway.

I don't think the loss today was down to Ange. With injuries, the only change he could have made was Davies for Drag.
Fact is, Drag is learning the game and Romero had his eye on the internationals.
Seems there is an issue with Madders as well.
I think we will be in the top 4 mix come January and probs doing well in the EL.
I think/hope Ange will be ruthless next window.

Exactly , everybody is taking points off others and losing when not expected .
But the simple solution is every manager moves to the team below them on the table and clubs just takes their chances with who they get .
Can will revisit in the New year and go again if necessary .

Right, but "being realistic" about who will work for Levy and assuming nobody decent, would still leave the question why do you think Mckenna would do any better than Ange is doing? Is it his first win of the season today? Is it really that knee jerk that anyone who happens to beat us must therefore be a better manager? Or is it success in the second division?

Why do I think McKenna would do better than Ange? - well he just beat Ange at N17 for starters. Not a smash and grab either but a win that was a fair result. Played 5 at the back for the first time this season and got the win - showing he has more tactical flexibility/acumen than I’ve ever seen from Ange.

He’s also drawn Brighton, Fulham and Villa with a team that was in League One a year and half ago. Cause he pulled off back to back promotions.

Finally I have a soft spot of our youth products and have been following McKenna’s coaching/managerial career for a while. So I’ll admit I may be bias - but it’s not knee jerk.

McKenna’s accomplishments aren’t on par with Xabi Alonso obviously but what McKenna has accomplished at 38 is pretty impressive. Still there are many more established/proven mangers I’d prefer over McKenna but as I said before I don’t think any of them would be interested in working for Levy.

weve just lost to ipswich and palace. the only side in the league they've beaten and they are both going down most probably. things are pretty bad. the football is absolute shit, we cant break down sides who are happy to surrender the ball.

our next 4 league games are tough. very possible we lose all 4. this clown is not lasting the season and nothing is happening with him, if you seriously have hope still now you are fucking off your head! it was made very clear long ago this guy is absolutely clueless! we are just delaying the inevitable now, sack him now and maybe something decent can happen this season while still in the cups etc. hang onto him and the season will be a massive disaster.

The only ruthless decision ange will be making next window will be, does he have a fry up or porridge for breakfast when he is out of work.

Poch was sacked because the first team was playing crap.
Our first team is not playing crap.
