The question then is why didn't it work. Serial winning managers have come and gone, some of the world's best players have come and gone. We're still Spursy, we still don't have a winning mentality...so how does that change?
Get rid of ENIC. That's it.

Unusual circumstances and hardly a positive addition if he was to become our manager, but we're desperate, don't have time to wait and he's leagues above anyone else we're likely to be able to attract.

He actually said the other day he'd be happy to come back, the guy is desperate to manage us, would take him back over anyone else TBH
 
So Ange continuing on his merry (2nd season) way heading to 20 plus losses and many embarrassing records set along the way.
His (one trick pony) tactics are so easily picked apart, that to keep him in the job any longer is just pure negligence and or self preservation from the untouchables (who employed him) and who have next to zero football knowledge.
He got away with it for the first 10 games when employed.
Since then, he has been exposed on a regular basis. The injuries bought him both time and an excuse.
He should have gone months ago , but now, it's at boiling point. He needs to go now, doubt the club can get anyone in at the moment, but his presence is just stinking the place out.
 
There’s not a single timeline in the expanded universe in which I would want us to win a game that hands the Scum the title.

And forget Spurs. If people don’t understand that, they don’t get football or British people.
All this manager had to do was not acknowledge it.. When asked about fans being conflicted about the game... Just say "I don't know about that. But I personally try and win every game"... and he'd have had no problem.. But he went out of his way to chastise a fanbase for doing something that all other fanbases would do. If Sonny scored the goal that gave them the title, they'd have had songs about him for decades. If someone doesn't get why that would've been an absolute disaster.. Then they'll never get it.
 
So you'd rather throw the game to stop a rival winning than watch Spurs in the Champions league the following season?
YES! A season in the champions league is not worth watching and living with that lot winning the league and us winning it for them to top it off

I had major concerns when he said he “couldn’t understand” fans wanting to lose. I don’t expect a coach or players to do anything but try to win the game, but to not understand fans not wanting to win told me he really just doesn’t understand English football.

I remember when we were in the champions league final and Woolwich were in europa final, every single one of my gooner mates said they would take Woolwich losing their final if it meant spurs didn’t win the champions league. This wasn’t some weak mentality spurs fan bollocks some we’re making out, this is how most English fans feel about their teams/rivals.

You're talking like it's a defect with our fans in particular.. Every fanbase would be the same..

The week we were in the champions league final.. Woolwich were in the Europa League final.. Every single on of their fans I heard, said that they'd take losing their final, if it meant we lost ours as well. But of course of they should. We'd have made their lives miserable had we won the champions league and all they had to show for it was the europa league.. It's normal.
 
With all the talk of Levy sacking Ange why is Matty Wells never mentioned ,he has more managerial experience than Mason . Even if Ange does win the EL is he safe , believe Real sacked a Champions League winning manager as his league results were not good enough.

 
Fairs.

I'll be honest he's absolutely horrible, I think many fans including myself was guilty of sipping the Ange cool aid because of his bravado and the way he talks but honestly if we played the way he carries himself in press conferences then we'd win the league but truthfully it's just a pile of wank.

What I don't get is how comes the players are coming out every week and saying good things about the manager yet on the pitch they're not even running for him anymore and stopped doing the basics, it's almost as if he's convinced the players that it's okay to lose as long as they are playing the right way because of his philosophy and if they keep doing the right things the results will start to bear fruit in the end, he's brainwashed our players just like he has brainwashed our fans, it's easy to see how because he's just so convincing but the guy's a complete charlatan.

Let's be real. we're not going anywhere near that Europa and likely to get done vs Frankfurt, when we get knocked out of Europe which effectively ends our season it's gonna hit like a ton of bricks...A lot of fans are banking on Europa out of pure hopium because it's a distraction tool for how shit we've been in the league.

Happy to admit I was wrong, massively and TBH I was being a bit of a cunt on here and trolling people the Ange outers for a few weeks, so I apologise to folk on here, maybe I should create an apology form for myself!

Love you all x

Definitely.

This might sound a bit dramatic, but I wouldn't be against the idea of taking a 1-3 year break from this club if we don't sign him back up. I'm just tired of how detached the upper echelons of this club are to the fanbase - everything from ticket prices to the manager & player merry go round just leaves a bitter taste.

Poch is a manager who achieved near greatness with us, is practically begging year on feggin year to come back to our club, he genuinely loves this club and brought an identity and sense of family that I'd never felt anything close from any other manager we've had.

It's time to drop the ego and sign him back up immediately, otherwise I'm going to have a MAJOR hissyfit! :angryscouser:

Fair play mate.

Although in fairness I would take us winning the Europa, even if Woolwich win the CL this season.

Getting 4th was winning the race for 4th best.

I want Poch back.

That said, I have no issues with those that disagree. The Chav season grates, but we turned him down and frankly, I just don’t care. Of course, I understand that he might have burned his bridges with many.

He would work well with this young group of players and I’m not convinced by anyone else. Xavi, Iraola etc. All good names, but I think we’re such an odd club, it’s hard to see them getting anywhere.
