Sitting in 9th, just 4 points and we would still be at risk of being overtaken by one of the teams all the way down to 17th (!) but yes it's an outside possibility it would be enough. I think 3 and it's the play offs.
8th place average ppg is current 1.83 (same as us in 9th). 4pts from last two games is obviously 2ppg. So while it would be far from guaranteed that a win and a draw takes us into the top 8, there is a decent chance it would.

 
I fucking KNEW IT!

Partly agree. Although I think you give Jose a disservice considering he got us to a cup final but wasn't given the chance to see it through. His record against Pep, and in cup finals generally, suggests he'd have stood more chance than Levy’s pet cat Ryan Mason of winning the damn thing.
Yeah I think Jose wins that final 7 times out of 10, has to go down as one of the strangest decisions ever made and I guess it shows how much our owners care about winning trophies!
 
If we finish 9th or lower and won the EL i'd still want him gone
Winning the EL? I'd still want him gone regardless of where we finish.

Ever since the first 10 of that season we've been badly found out by a host of managers with far smaller clubs.

We are the joint favourites for the EL and together with Utd are the wealthiest clubs by far. But there's nothing in our matches with Gala Roma Rangers Qrabag which suggests we've really got a decent chance though.

I've wanted him out since say B'mouth and FFC. The EL is our get out of jail card for this season. He'll just blow it. He stays? A wasted season with a couple of good memories.
 
Greatly written post.

You write everything without any emotion, but in an almost perfect way to present the important content points of discussion.

Great work, I think it is one of the best posts I have read here.

Thank you very much, and by the way, I completely agree with your assessment.
Thanks mate.

Just trying to explain my take on it. I want us to really take the next step and win things, not head back to the safe space as soon as we get a bit scared of failure. I’m saying it because I genuinely think Ange has the ability to lead us there.
 
I would agree with giving Postecoglou a pass for this season because it's only year two and all the injuries. But there should come a time when he produces results. I think that won't happen because Ange Ball ignores footballs version of gravity, the fundamentals that produce good, well rounded football. He's a smart guy who can play to the crowd and talk a good game. But he's not in Scotland anymore and it shows.
They don’t have gravity in Scotland?
 
Its doubtful he does however football is a funny old game , the players are still playing like they believe in him and worse teams than us have won trophies , lets say we somehow win the EL - are you still wanting him gone next season?
That makes it even more scary. They back the system and still get beat most weeks.

I want him gone and worry a flukey cup win convince levy to keep him.

But we won't win any cups because you have to, at some point, beat good teams.
That's just not who we are, mate.
