To anyone desperately demanding a sacking/resignation in the coming days, he said clearly after the match that he and his family are going on Holiday on Monday.

I have absolutely no doubt, or even a disagreement, with the fact he will be allowed to do that without being sacked first.
 
Hypothetically speaking - let's say he is here next season.

Levy needs to establish with him;
A) that we cannot finish outside the top 7?
B) what is unaceptable and likely to lead to a sacking (like going on 5, 6, 7, 8 game winless runs
C) that we expect to see adaptable tactics

Having watched the match on Wednesday it was obvious he WILL drop the defence deep and let them defend rather than sprint and hopefully catch. What struck me was that almost all of the dangerous moments from Man United came from Vicario.
I think it's time, after 2 seasons, to say enough is enough. Many of our problems come from him and/or the defence being too high up the pitch and FB's out of position. Ange needs to sort the latter and Levy needs to put his hands in his deep pockets and get a keeper less flappy than a flappy paddle gearbox.

If you can improve as a club you do so. We've largely got out of jail with that win and have a golden opportunity to push on and be a serious threat. I dont want to see us back where we started come October, losing to pretty much every decent side, wracking up injuries and the positivity we have now just dissapearing. We then have to find someone decent to come mid season, never easy. Thanks for the trophy and best wishes but he is easily upgradeable. He isnt going to suddenly become an astute tactician, we're not going to miraculously become consistant, we're not going to stop losing a ton of games (27 out of our last 48 league games). You dont have to be Mystic Meg, we have 18 months of evidence.

Keeping everything the same in the vague hope all will be better then why not keep the entire squad together? Maybe Bissouma wont be flakey and massively inconsistant, maybe Richarlison will stay fit and develop a first touch, maybe Sonny will revert to playing like its 2020. These sort of opportunites dont come around often, imo it would be madness to piss it away out of vibes and sentimentality.

All the disrespectful comments.. seriously get an absolute grip. Club would be in a much better place if you all fucked off rather than Big Ange. Go support another club. You aren't wanted, welcomed or needed at this great football club. Build this man a statue. He's done what so many before him haven't been able to. Step one ✅

just noting this was the second post here after the whistle. there's several more. so who's celebrating a win and who just wants to win the internet again?

I think it's gonna be a mutual consenting departure
Everyone keeps face, Ange can't slag the club off and gets his compensation
We move on with a hopefully competent head coach

I couldn't agree more. But the reality is, at the risk of repeating myself...despite his woeful football in the PL this season, he's just won us our first major trophy in fourty one years. It's not ideal, but he's earnt himself another season with us, unless of course, he continues serving us up gash football and endless losses in the PL.

Well, a new manager will be a nice just after Christmas present this year.

Shut up. Every injury has something to do with training or playing. Unless they pull a muscle while mowing the lawn or chasing their kids around the living room. It’s playing football, they get injured doing it.
The issue is why we get more of them than other teams. A pattern that follows the manager around or at least seems to.

I never said to anyone to shut up and I expect the same from others.

My head says yay, but my heart says nay. Very difficult stomaching the idea of wanting to give this guy the chop after what I'm seeing right now at the bus parade.... :ange-blow:

I hear you, but that’s why you don’t make important decisions based on emotion.

I’d like nothing more than to keep Ange and be successful with him, but we need to ask ourselves is that likely to be achieved and if so how?

It’s very difficult to ignore the league form despite the cup success.

The wind shifts quickly. If Postecoglou can't have Spurs sixth or better at Christmas fans will be asking "what have you done for me lately".

He needs to be gone now. If we sack him at Christmas, there won't be a viable manager available and we'll end up with another waste of space. Granted we won the EL but it's my belief still that we won it despite him, not because of him. We have the players to challenge for next season but we won't improve with him. And when he screws up again, his excuse will be he's concentrating on the CL....which we stand 0 chance of winning with him. Let him go on a high with his head held high (and swollen) and concentrate on the EPL next year. I'd prefer to challenge for the top four than concentrate on a trophy we won't win.

We've been shit in the league since November 2023.

In 2 full seasons he's yet to beat fucking Wolves.

Grateful for the trophy, eternally. But first major trophy in 41 years is balanced out by our worst league season in 50 years.

So we're back where we started - and he shouldn't have ever been brought back this season.

Let him go gracefully and we can all forget about all the utter shite in between those first 2 months and Bilbao.
