Manager Ange Postecoglou

I’d love to be proven wrong but I’ve felt this sense of inevitability many times before, that point where you struggle to see a manager turning a situation around, I witnessed Hoddles last game in charge at home to Southampton and everyone knew he was toast that day and in all honesty in the build up to that game .
I fear something similar tomorrow, especially given how Wolves are suddenly now in a bit of no lose situation after recent results.
Personally I’d still rather he saw out this season, firstly because I’m sick of caretakers and secondly I’d look at Man Utd right now for the dangers of bringing a permanent manager in mid season, Amorims reputation is already taking a battering unfairly IMO given he has had no chance to bring anyone in, although maybe you could argue he needs to adjust his thinking and not rigidly stick with his preferred set up no matter what like Ange.
The failure to adapt has been alarming and incredibly disappointing, I thought there was more to him than this and I don’t expect the Aussie Ossie to be our manager next season, but if he’s given the chance to see this season out let’s at least try to enjoy going behind at Tamworth and losing 14-9 on aggregate to Bilbao in the Europea league Quarter final, oh and of course beating our neighbours in the league cup final

I think if he loses the next two he will be gone tbh.
He can’t win two games in the league but somehow will pull a miracle in the cups. Yeah right. Hope they don’t wait he fucks the cups as well to pull the plug.
Sometimes he does.
Jose was sat in Pochs office chair while it was still spinning.
Conte had his toupee warmer on the desk before Nuno could even empty his drawers.
In both cases the successor was clearly plotted and in place. I suspect he's out of ideas this time though, unless Paratatici is still kicking about in the shadows
Was thinking "that's a bit strong" but must admit his miserable demeanour is a bit grating isn't it.
Proper chancer
Levy don’t work weekends …..
I'll never forget walking down the road early Sunday morning 2008, after an all nighter, I was feeling spaced out and starting a downer, walked past a board outside a shop that had the headline on it that ramos had been sacked and we brought redknapp in. Things had been so miserable under ramos that it immediately got my mood back up and went on a bender instead of going home lol. So anyway levy did his thing at least once on a weekend
"Ange always wins in his second season". That was the talk.
The shitty form from gameweek 11 last season could be blamed on first season syndrome. The players need time to adapt, he needs another transfer window etc.
Now we are halfway through the second season and things have got worse. Near relegation form in the league and soon out of the LC which has been the only positive (thanks to the awful Manchester clubs).
When to pull the trigger is now a critical decision. You don't just let Ange rumble on for the sake of it until the summer. There is a lot of football to be played and we are 9 points above the drop zone. I would hope the Board are now well advanced in their replacement search and have drawn a hard line in the sand for his sacking.
I personally think he's gone if he loses the next two, especially being home games. "New manager bounce" in time for the Liverpool and Woolwich games.
Click on the link, easy to translate.
I can't see past a loss to Wolves being the loss that does it.
Why even let him carry on if we lose to them?
Credit where it is due, he came in and told fans what they wanted to hear and created a personality they related to. They would fire a manager they didn't know with his record and approach, but they'll never want to fire "Big Ange".
He’d be 10 losses in 19 games. That’s more than untenable.
Does Levy really have a strong tendency to let interims hang around for long stretches? I don't see it.
Jol immediately replaced Santini.
Ramos immediately replaced Jol.
Redknapp immediately replaced Ramos.
Mourinho immediately replaced Pochettino.
Conte immediately replaced Nuno.
It seems that people's judgment is skewed by the most recent Stellini-Mason debacle and Mourinho's sacking right before the cup final. Even in the latter case, with the obvious exception of the final, there wasn't much football left to be played. It's not like he sacked JM in October and let Mason loose for majority of the season.
I especially think that the aforementioned debacle is something he'd avoid at all costs this time. Now this by itself doesn't guarantee a satisfying appointment, in fact the chances of him going for a low hanging fruit is extremely high. That's why, despite everything, I'm still wary of sacking Ange until the summer. But if Ange indeed gets the sack, I'd be really surprised to see Levy let an interim finish the season. He knows how bad of a look it is.

I, like many on here, know next to nothing about setting up a professional football team, but I am very confident I could get one to score a goal against us. We make the same mistakes all the time and give up the same chances game after game. Every goal our defenders are either running back towards the goal like Forest.

or there are multiple players on a back post v one defender to put the ball in the back of the net.

I think he should have been sacked already mate, you’re preaching to the choir.
I have no idea how this man is still employed at this football club, the Forest loss should have been the nail in the coffin.
It doesn’t even make sense letting him stay until the cup game because if he wins that by some absolute miracle but continues to lose in the league, does that mean we still keep him here?
Sacking him is the only logical move now imo.
Well, it sure feels like a long march.
this is even more proof that hes nothing more than a motivational speaker. he actually believes this shit.
no you fat cunt! whats really important is having a system that doesnt kill our own team, whats really important is having a fucking football manager and not some waffling fat cunt.
