Like Iraola, seems like someone who can make something out of nothing and he's used to the challenge of working with scant resources. I will always worry for our managers though unless Levy relinquishes a measure of control.

With poch we figured out a way to win under the circumstances. Ok the massive crucial games fell short but iraola he seems to figure out a way of winning.
I've written this before but under Levy/ENIC the only managers who work are canny ones who can make more than the sum of their parts - Redknapp (master man motivator) and Poch (master coach/player developer).
Someone like Ange who is perhaps the most inflexible manager I have EVER seen here (alongside Ossie and AVB) isn't going to cut it.
Nah. Remember how much it took them to get a manager after Conte had that presser meltdown and we used two fucking interims in like 10 games? Or the summer when we ended up hiring Nuno? These cunts will likely pull the trigger at the wrong time and will take some half a year to get a replacement in, who will probably be just another dissapointing, shit option.
Iraola 14/1 or poch 25/1 to be new manager.
They get a great result like Man Utd away and get their belly's tickled. Then for the next couple of weeks, the mentality and intensity isn't what it needs to be. Then we beat Villa and they're praised. They then repeat another drop off for a couple weeks or so.. Then we get a win at City and the champagne's popped again. The manager says in the press conference that "we have to enjoy days like today". It's a great life for them. Half the work for all the acclaim.
Hasn't he openly bragged about this 'no plan B' stuff numerous times himself? This is not a strawman that his critics use to attack him. For whatever reason he takes pride in being single-minded. I genuinely think his single-mindedness comes from a point of inability rather than unwillingness. He just doesn't know how to play any other way. He wouldn't be able to organize a low block, very direct counter attacking team if his life depended on it, even for brief periods during games when we're desperately trying to hold on to a lead. His 9 man high line defense that took so much heat against Chelsea is probably the best example of this.
Today and Brighton match should've been a walk in the park after 2-0 . Slightly lower the intensity of press and our defensive line, get behind the ball with lots of men, try to punish in counters via our pacy wingers. Simple game management stuff that hundreds of managers succesfully execute all the time. Instead we kept our high intensity, bordering-on-kamikaze style of play for no reason and threw both games. It's such a criminal mismanagement on Ange's part that I'm almost inclined to think that he's doing it on purpose. To prove a point or something. It's that bad.
Rock, paper, scissors with Ange would be fun.
We've been shite in the Europa league, come on.
Still maintain we have the players. Quality players but Ange is mentally and physically fucking players out. Ange needs to manage a red bull team not us.
its this.
his touchline demeanor changed quick didnt it? because he realised hes out of his depth and this is like a new sport to him.
You mean beating the farmers and then taking 1 point out of 6 against actual football teams
Some of our fans man
Some people really are just in cloud cuckoo land all the timeFunniest post of the day!
I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or a thinly veiled insult in 2024 mate LOL!
If it is a compliment, I’m flattered but no; I’m not a journalist, just someone who loves the club with too many opinions and a keyboard.
I have a degree in journalism so I know good writing when I see it. You should seriously consider it.
About 3-1 still on Betfair. Decent odds actually.. Just need baldy to do the deed before West Ham skank a win over Wolves.
Decent first XI but no squad depth. That's not on Ange.
It was the same with mourinho, they should have sacked him after the humiliation of the Zagreb match after we were knocked out.
But no we kicked the can down the road then decided to sack him 4 days before a cup final,utter madness.
