I've had my theories on why it hasn't happened already, but I've got a new, worrying one.

They think we're too good to go down and happy to just coast to the end of the season.

We really aren't too good. In fact, based on form in the last 6-10 games, we'd be one of the favourites to go.
I don’t think it is that. I believe they have held off so long because of the potential sale of a stake in Spurs. Where they have now ended up in their heads in no man’s land. Where the league season is dead and they are praying to do something in the cups. On top of that whoever comes in will expect 1 or 2 signings and that will bloat the wage bill which they have nicely cut.

I think Levy has got to the point where he probably wants out as well. Hence so much indecision.

No chance, none at all. Sorry. They aren't ever leaving.
 
I see the 'training is too much' leaks have began again.. We all know how this ends. For all Ange is getting wrong, the players once again are getting away with it as much as the chairman and board.

I think this is wishful thinking. We'd all love them to be selling up but I don't see it. They're happy as a pig in shit.
 
The thing what bugs me about Ange and his press conferences, is he moans about being hard done with injuries, but what about Leicester away, Newcastle away, Palace away, Fulham home, Ipswich home, Brighton away.

He fielded a very strong side in those games and we still lost or dropped points. I'd love someone to just respond with that when he wheels out the usual injury excuses. Yes we do have injuries now, but we didn't earlier in the season and we were still shit.

If we had won a few of those games earlier in the season, it would have given us a buffer and we wouldn't be where we are now in the league.

I made this point in September, that it isn't a good sign when you are losing despite performances being ok, because as soon as those performances drop off, we'll be fucked. But everyone was like, no we are on the verge of something special with Ange. LOL.

Anyway, now the leaks have started from the players, yeah he's fucked.
 
What about those crunch games against City, United and the first leg against Liverpool? Do those performances not count?

We sat back against Woolwich and absorbed pressure quite well. We got the first goal, but were unlucky that Solanke scored at the wrong end.
Lol are you seriously trying to defend Ange and/or his record, just look at the points tally for Gods sake, look at our league position and take into account that current form is just about worst in the league bar the bottom two.
Do you think Pool.are overly worried about going one down at half time, knowing the second half is in the graveyard that is Anfield, one of our worst hunting grounds, the only thing they probably would fear is a new manager bounce.
As for City, our win was the first in what was the start of their decline, practically everyone took points off them for the next ten games.
As for starting well against Woolwich, unfortunately games are played over 90 minutes.
Utd are a bigger basket case than I'd, was a battle of the clueless and leaderless that we edged.
I wanted Ange to succeed as much as the next man, but always knew he would have to do it with one hand tied behind his back, as Levy does with all managers. In saying that and even allowing for injuries, he is completely out of his depth. He has one style of play, it was quickly figured out by everyone and he refuses to adapt, the end is nigh and the sooner it happens the better for all involved.

For once I can see how for some players training might actually be too much. Some of these guys are playing full minutes twice per week, in addition to training. I can’t imagine there’s a lot of time to recover , doubly so for the likes of Dragusin who seem to keep having to play through a knock every so often

I actually think Sami Mikobel has gone early on his story, trying to be first to break anything expecting the sacking of Ange soon.

I think the players are behind Ange, and training isn't as bad as being made out. I can't see Marco Silva being a Lange guy, but Frank, McKenna and Iraola will be. I don't think Ange's future will be determined by Thursday's game, but definitely by Sunday's.
