Chelsea are an outlier... they replace managers whether they win the big trophies or not...
They have a better track record of getting good managers.

Just changing manager regularly isn't what's hurting us. Lot's of teams, including Chelsea do it. Getting crap ones is our problem.

Just in the ENIC era, they have had Ranieri, prime Mourinho, Scolari, Hiddink, Ancelotti, Mourinho again, Conte, Sarri, Tuchel, Poch having proved himself.
Yeah they have had a few duds like Lampard and AVB*

In that same period, we've had Hoddle fail, Santini crushed, Ramos nearly send us down, *AVB repeat his Chelsea nonsense, Nono, a mercinary Mourinho, Conte at the worst time of his career and now this clown.

We keep taking punts and we keep either getting it wrong or get bad luck.
Imagine if Conte's 2nd season wasn't blighted with death and illness?
Imagine Levy didn't get a hard on for Mourinho based on 2003, and didn't sack Poch so reactively?
 
Ange is probably gone and probably should have been gone a while back but I've now become agnostic towards managers. As you say, they come and go like ships in the night so best not to get to invested in one because likelihood is he'll be shown the door after a few bad results...

To answer your question... our peers are mid table dwellers... think Fulham (Silva nearly 4 seasons in charge) and Brentford (Frank nearly 7 seasons in charge)... Everton and West Ham are a bracket below, Newcastle and Villa are a bracket above us.
Fulham has improved every season and Brentford staying in EPL for 7 seasons itself is a feat. Both are good managers that has a limited budget and works well with less. We are not getting a top manager at this point and this is the best we are going to get.
 
Maybe, just maybe …

we lose by a single goal tonight

Levy panics at the home loss and sacks Ange

We win the second leg by at least two clear goals with the new manager bounce

We go on to win the EL

One can only dream 🤞
 
Ange was right in press conference about media slamming us or causing mischief. Media wouldnt touch liverpool with inflammatory questions. We get rough deal imo and those snakes merson, redknapp and carragher on sky. Alan Smith is subtle about his digs but hes still a cunt though.
 
Johnson says theres a good harmony between players and staff. That's good to hear tbh. Need to fuck off the journalists causing mischief in press conferences. Fergie used to ban certain ones when at united. I'd start with The sun tbh. That's a gooner paper imo.
 
If this cunt isn’t gone tonight, full on boycott of the club. Tonight. Immediately.
