A good watch, fairly basic stuff obviously, but probably not for ange. Get the feeling that although he is a nice guy if you dont want what he wants tactically you're fucked. Completely different from Ange wiping the players bums every week and taking the blame for us fucking up. Surely if our playing staff had anything about them they'd prefer some grown up management.

I think he is worth a punt. I'm actually starting to convince myself I will be annoyed if it isnt him.

There's another, more recent Sky piece on Frank were they follow him for a day at their training ground that is really interesting if you haven't seen it.

He seems to have his head screwed on very well. And bringing this set of standards into the team could do a lot of good.

It was ok yes. He had a monster new manager bounce. Have to give him some credit for that. Made a big mistake surrendering CC at Fulham.

At the start of this season I said on this Board I'd take a low league position and a cup, and I 100% stand by that. I just think now (A) the monkey is off the back (B) our league form is so bad and the risk of relegation (C) the inherent unlikelihood of a poor manager repeating the same trick ... that we can and should do better.

Fair enough, then maybe it's just me that doesn't seriously think we are at any risk of relegation.

There was a period this season where it started to get a little bit too much that way, and we responded with 3 wins on the bounce to basically ensure relegation wouldn't happen. I think we were safe after those games in February, which is just as well as we got 5 points and 1 win from the next 12 games.

But teams that beat City 5-0 away, United 3-0, Villa 4-1 at home, with some other big results in there, are not serious relegation candidates. Not impossible but clearly too good. Find me any team that got relegated that won 7 games by 3+ goals and I would be very surprised.

Don't think we were as fantastic as people maybe remember in those 10 games. We played a lot of duff sides and after Conte, Stellini and Mason, perhaps was easy to look wonderful.

To go from a dreadfully negative, genuinely cowardly team with no spark or life that was totally reliant on Harry Kane for chance creation to selling Kane, immediately benching three other ever-presents (Lloris, Dier, Hojbjerg), and from minute 1 of game 1 playing Angeball, an entirely different philsosophy of play with entirely different principles, was a really extraordinary revolution. I couldn't believe it at the time.

That doesn't mean those principles are good or sustainable or whatever. Indeed the speed of the transition maybe speaks to it all being overly simplistic and rigid.

But Ange turned the page from a very dark moment in the club's history with unimaginable speed and decisiveness, and if he's done I think that's another thing we have to thank him for.

So you just want to go back to being a football club where our aim is top 4 so the money keeps on rolling in for levy , but we never actually win anything?

No. I am pointing out that yes we won a cup. Brilliant. Excellent etc great.
But you can’t ignore the league form. He is taking us to the championship.
He keeps playing in a style that injures our players. He only changed tactics in the Europa to save his reputation.
As for poch I haven’t even mentioned the playing at wembley or not buy any players for two seasons…..
Ange is out of his depth. Someone needs to call and end to the madness.
