2 trophies in 3 seasons, how would you look at Ange then?

Ah nothing to see here.
As usual the aggregators on X find a one liner hidden in an article and make out like it's an exclusive lmao.
I reckon Di Marzio knows about as much as we do on here.
He does have contacts with Paratici but honestly, I'd be shocked if Ange given a third season. I just can't see how the powers that be look past 22 defeats and 17th ffs. It's mind bogglingly bad.
Our coaching has been poor. Out of possession too easy to break through as not compact enough and some of our players have gone backwards, that’s on the coaching.
If Ange stays I hope Paratici is all on it. I know Ally Gold reported on how Paratici was disgusted with our youth set up and did a lot of work and we are seeing the results. Need to look at the coaching at the club and the medical.
Only time our coaching looked elite was Pochettino and Conte.
I could see paratici coming in and stating one way or the other
Because they brought their own coaches with them.
Mason and 1 or2 will go now. Maybe takes one of the others with him, there’s a good opportunity to bring in some elite coaches to the team
You know it’s gonna be Harry Kewell though..
It’s not always about coaching though. If you’re trying to impose yourself on the opposition it’s all about the confidence players feel to be positive in squeezing up. Guardiola is the greatest coach of all time maybe, but City’s press totally collapsed this year because players lost confidence and were not as aggressive.
The Di Merzio info (Paratici mouth piece) to me suggests they where willing to bring in a world class manager like Inzaghe if that was possible and if not just keep Ange and sounds like we have no chance with Inzaghe.
Odobert needs to be someone’s understudy and that someone cannot be Brennan Johnson. We need a serious upgrade on wingers. Son is past his best. Tel should also be an understudy to someone on the left. Buy Eze and nico williams. Sell son and johnson
Good question. Europa League the following season - hmmmm. I'd look at him like this...
I want CL.
By the way - your suggestion won't happen under The Post. Under him we won't win another trophy and we'll finish lower than 10th - oh and by the way, it will all be achieved in the same manner as this year - with shit football and unnecessary injuries.

True but I think some of it is more Ange’s wide wingers and inverted full backs.
We invert the full backs, this means our wingers need to stay wide and hold the width otherwise we stuck central. We don’t have proper wingers other than Odobert who is young and has been injured. Son and Johnson are not true wingers, as such we can’t create space and we lose the ball often and get hit on the counter with a poor press and a high line.
We can still play high line hard press with wide full backs and inverted wingers in a 433. This is how Klopp’s Liverpool played and we have the players better suited to this than inverted full backs and wide wingers. I don’t get why Ange doesn’t make this change as it would allow us to attack but be better fitting to what we have. I appreciate he made adaptions in the EL but we don’t need to play defensive all the time just adapt the attacking system a bit.
As for City Pep can get away with being stubborn because of his record and because City will buy him whatever he wants to fix that issue. Ange sadly doesn’t have that luxury.

We have CL this season and a trophy but you are still looking at him like that?
Yeah, at a point this season every side we faced was letting us circulate the ball wide, the wingers would always turn back and play the ball inside to a crowded midfield where the opposition sprung their pressing traps and the ball was turned over and we would concede on the counter.
If the wingers are upgraded to assertive ball manipulators then the opposition have to divert more coverage wide and the middle opens up and we have more options.
Sorry mate, I'd just added this to my post while you were typing...

My question to you is, under MY suggestion, are you happy to have him around? (my scenario is more likely than yours).
Rival fans everywhere
Always so worried about rival fans huh?
Right now we have one over the goons for trophies. They are the bottle team that can’t win silverware now.
Not been like that since 91, or even 84
That’s the only way I see there being any success retaining Ange.
Belief and mentality you refer to in an earlier post only gets you so far if the opposing manager has your number tactically.
The coaches need to be elite as you say as bringing in more mates has been shown not to work.
