The crazy thing is that these so called fans saying that we'll lose the final under Ange, actually want us to lose the final. That way they can gloat in the glory of telling a bunch of people they don't know on the internet, that they knew it would happen, and that they know best....
I don't know. There are probably a small percentage of fans that want Ange to lose the final to make sure he is gone, similar to Mourinho ahead of the League Cup final, but the majority of fans would prefer to win a trophy than sack any manager before or after a final.
I thought Ange would fail when we signed him due to Kane leaving, finishing 8th, and him not being a better manager than Conte, Poch, Mourinho, etc. - despite what deluded Celtic fans thought (yet still never took my bet on).
After his first ten games and finishing 5th he deserved a chance in his second season imo even if I didn't like his attitude in the press or his defence or the fact that he still didn't win anything or qualify for the CL.
If he wins I'll be happy to give him another season again, despite clearly being a worse manager than the likes of Eddie Howe.
Most of my criticism is due to Ange talking shite and not knowing how to defend and being unsuccessful.
If he is successful the talking shite and not knowing how to defend at times does not really bother me.
I honestly hope he works it out next season.
