What happens if we sack him, get someone else in and get relegated anyway?
Then at least we've tried to stop it?

Better than doing nothing and just letting it happen anyway

Also tried the ITK game and got some info:

Not everything is set in stone, but the tides feel restless. A departure might be in the air, though the shadows are yet to confirm.

Keep an eye on the blue and gold—those hues may tell a story soon. Or will it stay the familiar white and navy, steadier than it seems?

The drums are beating, but the song isn’t clear. Perhaps it’s an old melody returning, or maybe it’s one we’ve never heard before. Time will tell.

Watch. Listen. Wait.

That's all I wanted to hear.

Fucking hell. Levy really is clueless. Explains a lot. Levy is hanging his hat on the freak City away result, and seems to genuinely think when the injuries clear up, Ange is the man to take us to success. Levy is an absolute moron when it comes to football. He is genuinely completely clueless

Yet Levy knows that when Postecoglou’s team click with all of the main players available, they are capable of thrilling football and results. It was only two months ago they won 4-0 at Manchester City. The Carabao Cup first-leg win over Liverpool came the Wednesday before last.

Yeah we're fucked. Our chairman has completely bought the bullshit and actually thinks the injuries are why we are where we are, and that Ange's football will lead us to success. Fuck me. By the time it actually clicks with the evil bald dwarf, we'll be even lower in the table.
It was only two months ago

Well then. If it was only two months that we have to go back for a good result then that's alright. Just the 5 or 6 good results a year will do me just fine thank you. Don't want any more than that. Wouldn't want to be too greedy.
 
The first one also had our entire 11 the same as the one who played 2 days earlier whilst they were fully rested.

The second one we were pressing them off the park until Bentancur got knocked out and changed our shape. We still won it and deservedly

Oh, you mean the full 8 minutes? :O

I was just about to make a joke about celebrating stuff after half time (where this tie exactly is), but it seems that even less than 10 minutes is enough.

I keep hearing about "pressing off the park" from those positive about Ange. But it is exactly at that pressing moment when just one misplaced pass often leads to us giving opposition the goal. Specially if they have lethal players like Pool does.

Also, once again -> 4 weaker players compared to their best XI.
We scored on 84th and in terms of xG they were on top 1,32 vs 0,98. But ofc we totally demolished them. Sure thing :D !

Fucking Bob Dylan over here.

Get a guitar put some chords to that.

It beggars belief. Our chairman is sticking to one result two months ago, our only league win apart from Southampton in about 3 months, as evidence that Ange has a clue. It's fucking ridiculous.

What are you talking about celebrating after 8 mins? We won the game after 90min and deservedly. I celebrated that! Did you?
 
I'm Ange Out but I still struggle to see the long term benefit of sacking him now and replacing him with the wrong person. We all know who the right man is and he won't be available until the Summer.

None of us want to do the Mason thing again so it's hard to see who can come in and finish out the season as head coach. Mason is the obvious one! Levy won't open old wounds with Harry Redknapp or Tim Sherwood so I think it's either Ange or Mason until May. If I'm being totally honest, I'd still let Ange have it until May.

Pretty compelling chart.

We weren’t without issues and results were inconsistent but we were also well on our way to being really fucking good before injuries hit. 3 points off the goons and just beat City 4-0 away from home.


Yup.

Still up to Ange to figure out a way to cope with the injuries - but anyone denying the impact of losing Vicario, Romero and VDV all at the same time, as well as Bentancur's ban is just not willing to have a serious conversation.

Mason *might* get us higher up the table. I’m not sure Ange is going to. There’s the difference. For me at least.
