That's why everyone vents on the internet.

Exactly.
Most managers live or die by results. Not how many bullets they're prepared to take for their paymaster.
I "showed ignored content"
Jesus, that guy is obsessed.
So you're saying Ange is a boot-lick? .
He'll keep his job so long as he's happy to continue his roll as Daniel's whipping boy?
Hmmm
There's a degree of truth in all this, but if you think a public campaign against the board by the manager is going to A. change Levy's behavior, B. oust ENIC from ownership, or C. maximize our chances of winning games, you just weren't paying attention during the Conte era (or the Poch era for that matter).
Levy Out is the fans job, it's our job. The manager's job is to coach the team. That Ange does that without the customary woe-is-me trail of complaints about the referees, the media, the board, his players, and so on and so forth has always seemed sensible and endearing to me.
If I believed a manager cunting off Levy in the little Sky postmatch interview corner would cause him to sell or spend more I'd be demanding that too, but I don't see how anyone can really believe that anymore.
This has to be like the 15th time I’ve seen you point out that you’ve shown ignored content. At this point do you even have us on ignore? It’s just reading our posts but with an extra click and then weirdly boasting about using the tool.
Fair comment.
Although the poster I was quoting suggested this is why he'd keep his job and why he'll only be sacked if results were (quote) really bad
If that's the case, I'd find that alarming. The managers ability to manage a football team should be his overriding job requirement. Not his willingness to suck up to his boss
Are you moaning about people moaning about other posters moaning?
Oh no, not me.
I’m clarifying. An entirely different activity. Reserved for the most rarefied of minds.
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..
