Yes mate. I could see back in October 2023 the red flags. I would have sacked him in the summer and appointed someone else because I could see us getting worse and worse. But of course this makes me a clueless TFC football brainiac and the rest of the fan base who are backing Ange are geniuses are they? Jesus Christ. Maybe the owns are are Ange out are the ones who actually have a clue.

Remember in all walks of life the ones with a clue are always in the minority.

I was done with him by this time last year. Everyone said "wait until all the injured players come back. They came back. We were still fucking useless and the batterings started to mount up. Fulham, Brighton, Newcastle, Liverpool & Woolwich (3 and 4 up before we did anything) etc. He should have been chopped as soon as the last game finished. He spent the whole of last season hiding behind the first 10 games. Almost everything after that was fucking atrocious.

Re your last point - not all walks of life. Conspiracy theorists are in the minority and they haven't got a fucking clue.

We will qualify for the play off mate at this rate, which is just an additional knockout phase.

We need to win both our remaining games and hope for other results to go our way to finish top 8 though which I doubt.

All above us. I could only just about see a win against United tbh. So if we got through, that's what's left to play against if we want to go all the way.
Even the teams in our "seeded" section for the qualifiers all look like banana skins.

It's the chairman who makes the hiring and firing decisions, yeah the fans have their own opinions but we are completely powerless in these decisions. If the chairman is happy atm with Ange and hasn't sacked him then I will stay fully behind the manager and the team. We are going through hard times, i don't deny that,but maybe its times like these we have to show true support until the change is made. Unless there is a remarkable turnaround I think every fan knows that Ange hasn't got much of a chance remaining in charge beyond the end of the season so it's just a waiting game really until the chairman makes the change. Until then surely it's better to quit all this talk of " hope we lose to either Newcastle, Tamworth, or Liverpool, or Woolwich, so that Ange is immediately sacked" and support the team no matter if we win lose or draw.

I hear what you are saying but for me its about the pain I feel every week whilst this fool leads my beloved club out. I honestly believe AP is hurting our club. His methods and philosophy will eventually have a huge negative effect on our young squad in terms of physicality and confidence, this is where my deep dislike lies for the man. I find the man and manager unbearable and the fact as you say I can't hire and fire, the only thing I can do express my distain on a forum like this and I refuse to aide this idiots stance by getting behind him and becoming part of what he is selling!

Yeah nothing to do with the fact that they got better players for their systems or anything like that, of course.

Agree and so did Liverpool and City, but I'll ask you, do you think we have a better squad than Brighton, Forest, Bournemouth or Fulham? And please don't quote injuries because even when we had our preferred first 11 playing we weren't that much better.

Yes we have and Ange has been appalling throughout the whole year, I don't know what this has to do with the point about philosophies though.

Because he doesn’t learn from past mistakes. Because he doesn’t respond to oppo tactics that are destroying us. Because he leaves too
much space for oppo. Because he asks players to play in ways they are not suited for

Etc etc etc

Our results are not “down to luck”.

He's a troll. Ignore him. He just clutters threads up by arguing until he's blue in the face. Facts don't matter. Evidence is irrelevant.

It’s clear confidence is draining. You. Can see that in the dropping physicality levels. And yes, the youngsters will undershoot their

Oh give it a fucking rest you dribbling little rat.

Everytime someone posts anything you even vaguely disagree with, you label them as trolls and encourage blocking.

He’s not a troll. At all.

Can’t handle anyone disagreeing with you, get the fuck off internet forums and spend your life in your basement alone.

Clown.

Ange


I don't think anyone on that list of coaches we've had since I've been a fan is worse than Ange.
I don't think any of them were sacked when we were worse off on a PPG basis either.
 
I am genuinely concerned about the Tamworth game

Shows how low Ange has sunk this club.

Maybe he will naively play the easily bullied? As he did, naively, against Rangers.

I called that on this forum before kick-off at Ibrox. Not playing Kulu and Solanke was tactically horrible.
