If Postecoglou is given 3 players he will keep us up. Probably will regardless.

Levy might simply feel he needs to wait until he can get the manager he wants.

Relegation, whilst possible is as likely as City overhauling Liverpool. It could happen but it's still very unlikely.
I thought that until yesterday but the teams heads have dropped and i dont think the senior players are playing for him. Yesterday Everton could have had 6 or 7 it was that shambolic. We have 1 league win in 10 games and that was Southampton. If (big if) Wolves and Ipswich string a couple of wins together then we're in big trouble. We still have to go to Anfield and Stamford Bridge, City at home and trips to said Ipswich and Wolves.
 
Stephen Warnock on Sky criticising the manager with measured accuracy. Injuries self inflicted etc. too much pressure on younger players, manager won’t change or doesn’t know how to.

Just another one of a long line of ex pros saying exactly the same thing.
 
The disgusting thing about a certain fanbase here is the turning against one's fellow purely because of disagreement on the manager. It's actually really disgusting.
Right. For sure we disagree but this whole bollox about fanbois and cultists etc .. that shit can fuck off and you have to be a special type of pathetic to be resorting to that just because someone don’t agree with you
 
It just doesn't feel realistic under this manager. We have 24 games of evidence to the contrary. He cannot manage to the strengths of the squad, he is pulling us into a relegation battle. We need to make a change sooner than later, it's beginning to feel like even Ryan Mason might do a better job to season end, if I recall his style was much more closely modelled on Poch than Ange.

We are 1-0 up in a Cup SF against the best team in Europe as evidence it can happen

They all know. As do a lot of our players which is reflected in their performances.. A lot of these have played for top managers and can recognise when someone is winging it.
 
I'd say it looks amazing because he's done with a tiny club full of players nobody has heard of.
Imagine what he could do with the likes of Romero, VdV, Porro, Bissouma, Bergvall, Sarr, Kulu, Solanke, Madison, etc etc etc.

It's time people (not aimed at you) woke up yo the fact this idiot coach has made them progressively worse bar maybe Kulu.
Most of the best performances are coming from those who have played under him the least.
A lot of those nobodies Bournemouth have would be great signings, however I think some of our fanbase don't have the patience to make those signings. If we'd have signed Kerkez and Seymenyo they'd be getting pelters.

There is a section of the fan base which is patient with it.. the likes of Sarr and Udogie for example. However the moment we lose a match the amount of tweets I see saying "buy championship players, get championship results" is embarrassing.

I agree to an extent. No argument.

But as yet nothing, so what is going on?
 
Ange has to go but it has to be an entire clear out for me. Put the board themselves to one side for a moment, and just looking at the coaching set up - the only way I want Mason in charge is if it’s a case of he takes us for the Leicester game because our coach isn’t a available until just after.

Our coaching set up is woeful. Mason is a good bloke, I harbour no ill will toward him and I originally liked the idea of including him, but he needs to go to the lower leagues where he can hold more responsibility and actually be a manager himself, make his own mistakes and learn his trade a bit. It would be great to have someone like him at a lower league club where we can loan some of our youth players to for instance.

However Ange needs to go and he needs to take his coaches with him, I know he didn’t bring his own, but the two he’s ended up with who also came from the Scottish league (was it Motherwell or somewhere?) need to be gone too.

I can’t believe that a club the size of ours has ended up with this pub team management group. Get a proper head coach in, some proper assistances, get a set piece coach as for crying out loud despite the nonsense Ange says set pieces are indeed important and let’s actually have a professional level set up again.
 
Levy needs to act now. We need a change to simply attempt to secure enough points. If it's not several new and better players (lol) then he has to change the manager, even if it's something "boring" in the short term. Ange is not the long term solution anyway, so better to change now to try and avoid complete disaster.
 
It is quite funny people who backed the manager and now getting blamed as if we have the power to affect things the board do😂

Well it’s nonsense in all directions as the people who have said he wasn’t up to it have been attacked and called gooners and not true fansfor months on end.

I think everyone here is a fan, and it’s winds me up no end when people on here get personal to each other - no need for it. Direct the anger at the club.
