Not drawing any conclusions mate, just noted what he said will place him under pressure with the press with that comment, but fair play to him he proved them wrong.
Chelsea finished outside the top four years ago and one a CL it happens, our league form has been the worst for many a year but I don’t think it will be bad next season.
Look let's just enjoy this moment and hope that they, have absorbed all that winning feeling and want more of it.
I've been Ange Out as much as anyone else the last six months or so and I'm certainly not convinced all the flaws we've seen this season will dissapear next season, especially considering we will have to combine Premier League and Champions League. I'm absolutely worried that the injuries will start occuring again in October/November. I'm also not convinced he will be able to get us playing in a sustainable and successful way during an entire season.
However, right now it kind of feels like we can't sack him. Whoever replaces him, especially if it's someone like Silva, Frank etc, will get questioned at the slightest bad result with "why did we sack the manager who brought us our first trophy in 17 years for this?!" or something along those lines.
Also, and probably most importantly, whatever I think of Ange, the players clearly adore him. It's highly likely that the squad would take it very badly if Ange was sacked now.

I think that’s exactly how I feel post final now.
Bolster the coaching team behind him with some elite level coaches and let Ange do what he clearly does best in motivation and togetherness.
Frank, Silva etc, don’t look that appealing now.
Poch, Poch, Poch…… why? The guy that baring the CL had no real interest in cups and even at that right before the CL he says he is considering his position. Bottled an actual total race, and league cup quarter finals and finals domestically? I’d take this one season of winning an actual tangible trophy, over going back to a oh we have top 4-5.
I liked the guy but he is not the answer, supports always want the fancy man, when acrually he made hard work of PSG and ended up as a national coach for Murica?
So now you've solely focused on the negatives what were his positives?
Ten Haag is a fair comparison, look how shit they are since he left, I’m sure there are a lot of United fans who actually regret him leaving .
Winning wise not much… he had a good personalty pundits liked him? I didn’t dislike him in anyway personality wise, I just don’t see what tangible things he accomplished with what on the most part was a very good squad of players including probably one of Englands best players in history, one of the most creative players in Eriksen at the time, arguably the best CB pairing at the time. I don’t see anything in what he has done since he left us that would make us take him back other than sentiment.
I’m not so sure , the reason we beat United is because of Ange tactics , granted his hand was kind of forced with The injuries but he changed the way we play , any way in still
Enjoying the win , whatever happens next season will happen and there is nothing us as fans can do about it , but what we can do is smile and enjoy Wednesday!
Good times in football as spurs fans are few and far between
Why are you making fun of disabled people and mental illness? You really are an unlikeable prick! Carded!
Absolutely!
We’re lucky others have to make the difficult decision. Let’s just hope they get it right!
I’m off to get some sun cream as I’m in danger of getting burnt from basking in all this glory!
COYS!
The thing is the people who are saying we had the easy run were the same people writing us off against Frankfurt , away to Bodo and again in the final against united
I honestly think, 4 legit starting quality players takes us to levels I don’t want to say because it’s not the time to start upsetting the melts yet.
RW: Mbuemo, Cherki
AM: Eze, Cherki, Paz,
6/8: Cardoso, Palinha
LCB/LB: Hincapie
None of those are impossible to do.
Then you need to make decisions on who you replace in the squad if they leave like Richy, Son, Biss/Bent. Romero has to stay
Everyone is buzzing at the moment, I still don't think levy changes his spot's regarding recruitment.
Still think, signings will be low level youngsters with potential on lower wages, we do need 4/5 experienced players in but can't see it happening.

I have been thinking about it this morning and I think we just need to keep him just to see what happens at the start of next season now. I am far from convinced he is any good but maybe bringing some better coaches to see if that helps. Going by last night Levy will be making a mistake sacking him with the fans if the next manager tanks.
Agree.
Ange and the club need to approach the recruitment this summer and the preseason training like we are prepping the squad for a push at the title race. We are nowhere near it but that’s got to be the aim.
I'm sure most have seen this but in 89/90 Utd finished 14th. They did win the FA Cup though and - even though he was one game from the sack - it bought Ferguson some time.Rest is history.
Let's not forget what this trophy has done for us (and could do for us) and also remember where we were when he took over.
The players obviously love him and splitting this up now would be one of the worst decisions ever.

Before we sign any players we need to find out why we are getting so many injuries , look at Palace for example - they played full strength all the way through to the FA cup final - I know injuries are part of the game but we can’t have another season like this where players are dropping like flies.
If we can add the players like you say and have 70% of them fit all season then I think we could do something very special
The bar isn't very high when it comes to the league. 20 losses and 16th would be an improvement.
