Whoever comes in now would be inheriting an awful situation. Wonder if that’s part of the rationale behind leaving things as they are, that and a new manager might help season ticket sales next season. Gives me Poch in the summer vibes

This isn’t a politics thread . We are at each others throats enough I reckon
Gardening leave would surely mean paying out his contract in full? Guess if we sack him it’s the same case. Ange can just refuse to go I guess which essentially adds up to the same conclusion.
Well if Ange highlighted the corruption at Spurs the way Trump is doing now from the last president it would be great.
Most of our youngsters playing as you said are high profile signings
No, the available players are rooted, completely buggered, fatigued. It’s pretty simple really.
That’s what he’s on about in pressers. Everyone twist the situation to suit their own narrative and agenda. But the facts are we have a large amount of injuries, and the “available” squad are running on fumes.
The complete inertia makes me want to get rid of every board member, Munn and Lange as much as i'd like to get rid of Levy. Its like not one of them has a clue what they are watching or the stones to say this is unnaceptable? Should be a resignation issue with anyone who has an ounce of pride left. Clearly none of them do, bunch of nodding dogs.
There we go, it's the agenda. Great work Ange, fooled them again.
So we can lose again and he can proceed to publically defend the players when most of the criticsm is directed at him and not the players?
announcements normally 10am aint they?
10 or 6 are a usual time for Sky etc
What the hell is this? Everyone but the back 4 are in the middle of opposition's own half trying to press, including 3 CMs that somehow end up right next to each other. Impossible to tell where the defensive line is obviously, but for this to make any sense it has to be placed somewhere around the halfway line at least. Otherwise there must be a ridiculous amount of space between the front 6 and the back 4. We somewhat get an answer couple of seconds later;
Turns out defensive line is placed somewhere inside our own half, so there is indeed a ridiculous amount of space right in the middle of the pitch to run into. That's what Tielemans does. He ends up making this attempt;
17th minute of the match y'all, not 87th when all caution was understandably thrown to the wind chasing a match in desperate fashion. And anybody who watched the match yesterday knows this is not me blowing a cherrypicked freak accident out of proportion. Similar stuff kept happening again and again, that's how Kinsky ended up making all those saves.
If you think Romero-VdV coming back or a less congested schedule will fix these structural issues then go ahead. But don't expect many people to follow suit.
I think this highlights the fragility of the system and the perfect storm that has sabotaged it.
This reply to the question matches perfectly to what the sports science guy said at Celtic

Hansi Flick is the same at Bayern but they have been able to control games. Ange a was able to control games at Celtic and when it has worked here, we have controlled games.
The issue is that injuries compound the load on the available players and the extra load of not being in control of games creates a snowball effect.
But in the same way Ange said he was driving the decision to build with young players over older ones, his system and its fragility to game control is his gamble to choose.
There’s been 8 injuries since November, and the squad has barely been training since then. So it has nothing to do with the way we train.
As for running them in to the ground, there’s not many options when no one else is fit to play.
I think Levy will give Ange the season then reassess.
Don’t get your hopes up, it won’t happen mate.There should be an official club statement in the writing by now…
Ange is literally on record saying he needs to look at the way we train. He has countless interviews where he says our training is intense.
We aren’t able to fully train atm because of the schedule but it is attributable to *some* of the injuries we’ve accumulated this season.
Take off the biased glasses. It’s a combination of everything. The squad, the tactics, the lack of rotation when we had options, the lack of options when depleted. The sheer number of injuries are abnormal. Two seasons in a row. To similar players and positions. Fucking wake up.
Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Moore, Kinsky ARE in addition to the main squad.
Here is our squad. RED injured, YELLOW recently injured and not fully recovered. Porro, Son, Kulu are fucking knackered and have played the most minutes of any player in the prem.

Except he has a number of options he isn’t using Who are less tired
You’re also clearly wron g re Kinsky. SOP for Gks to play 30-50 games a season with midweek. No reason at all why Ange should’ be calling him out effectiley saying Vicario is better. And in any event he has Austin who had done well when he’s come in.
Did agree with Ange about media going in tough on us and mentioning liverpool having bad result. Them, gooners, man u are untouchable by media and pundits slamming them. However villa lost both their centre-backs yesterday. Think ange will go end of season.
