Among other negatives of Levy's ownership, constantly sacking managers for failure to live up to an expectation level that isn't reasonable given the paucity of resources Levy has provided has been a regular hinderance for us.
If Ange being less squeaky of a wheel brings him the patience that he (and several of his predecessors) merits, then so much the better, squeaking wheels aren't going to get us anywhere anyhow.
"Fuck off you cum guzzling Cultist Gooner cunt..."
Is the kind of thing you suggest posters NOT say!
Now this I agree with 100%
I'm not saying Ange should be firing off shots at Levy at every opportunity. I'm not even criticising him for taking the flak on his own shoulders.
It's just the idea that his willingness to protect his boss should be a good enough reason to keep his job that sits uncomfortable with me.
You’ve clearly not met many Aussies!
Why is there the need to forensically dissect every detail the bloke says?!
Jeez some on here are worse for it than the media scumbags!

John, not a single person on here believes that Ange would be kept on regardless of results because he won't speak out against his boss. This is a narrative being hypothesised by those who can't understand why he is still in the job despite inconsistent form. And whilst it is a fair hypothesis, that's all it is.
Just because speaking out publicly against your boss is a more direct route to getting the chop, not speaking out doesnt really infer the opposite. Does it make it easier to keep someone on if they arent creating additional toxicity - sure - but no amount of sealed lips about the hierarchy would have, in my opinion, kept Ange in a job had he lost to Southampton and last night.

I listened to the presser for the first time in ages,and a lot of what Ange said makes sense to me, especially about social media and pundits. He makes a good point about how many players we have missing, as it doesn't even get a mention, whereas Man C are struggling because they are missing one player.
You show a complete lack of knowledge of Anges past history if you actually think this.
Oh last season when Levy sold our best player and never replaced him .
I personally think if the situation required it Ange would tell Levy to fuck off , the last thing he comes across as is a YES man .
And bought him VDV, Maddison, Udogie joined for the season, Brennan Johnson, Dragusin, Vicario..
Also no not last season! This one! Ipswich and Leicester when we were full strength. We were full strength for Palace and Woolwich too. Why do people act like our form fell apart post injuries, we were a bit rubbish before them..

I have to admit, I'm all over the place with Ange.
Post Palace/Ipswich I was on the out side but then along comes Saints, Man U and the last two pressers where he genuinely opens up about who we are mate and I'm in again.
It's doing my head in.
So, having spent the day reflecting and having had a glass or two, fuck it. I'm in.
Not sure my old ticker will handle it but I'll go out entertained.

VDV and Maddison were players the club should have signed years prior to Ange arriving, they were essentially replacements for Vertonghen and Eriksen signed years too late.
Likewise Vicario, a serviceable at best replacement for Lloris that should have been signed 2/3 years earlier than he was.
Udogie was a LWB signed by Paratici for Contes 523 system that has been moulded into a talented if flawed inverted LB.
Dragusin is a backup CB that was signed after Ange had been left half a season with only 2 CBs.
The above is not backing a manager. It’s doing the absolute bare minimum needed to keep us semi competitive after the squad had been left to rot for years.
You could have just stopped there.
Oh look a post about Deuterz so Bonaspur has appeared like some obsessed parasitic creature.
Results are all over the place Arteta has had 5 years at Woolwich and been backed way more than Ange , that is an indisputable fact . They have 30 points from 16 games so averaging less than 2 points per game , current trajectory that gives them a low to mid 70’s total . Where we sit is not ideal but Ange has had less time , less money and now has the added issue of a toxic fan base chanting Levy out , a sentiment admittedly I share . He is NOT the issue imho
Our squad is an absolute fecking joke in terms of both depth and quality by comparison to our main rivals .
EDIT: There are smaller clubs above us , none of which have an injury crisis, or European football or are in the latter stages of the Carabao Cup
Fuck me Leicester won a league title cos things fell that way

Conte blanked Maddison supposedly.
Are you really sure you want to be entertained?
I have a nice, calming shot of Sir Gareth Southgate waiting to double defensive pivot you gently into your final years.
