Absolutely nobody has done that btw, this guy is just making up absurdities to argue against because the ridiculous hypothetical the Ange fanatics have dreamed up has no substantial argument in their favour...
Totally delusional downplaying Poch and trying to make out Ange is a better coach!
Ange has lost more league games in a season than Poch did over a three year period.
Stop drinking the Ange Kool Aid it’s fried your brain!
Difficult to believe they even watch them on TV tbh.
Fluke? No.
But you can be "overpowered" for it.
The only club we faced in the entire tournament with resources close to us was Man United and they're worse than we are.
So no, it's not a fluke. But Ange was lucky in the sense he was allowed to keep losing week after week in the premier league, and continue to manage wins on Thursdays.
ANY OTHER manager prior to him would have been sacked before getting to the final and, ultimately winning it.
He was afforded a privilege none prior have been. And in a way, that is his fluke.
That's a very good question.
Even more interesting is: what if the NEXT manager achieves 7th and no cups next season with better football will that be received well? I reckon the answer is probably "yes". Especially if we don't spend well in the window.
No, no, NO!
Don't you see, if we'd have won at home to Ipswich and Leicester we would have gotten trounced in Frankfurt!
Are you stupid or something???
This is pretty revisionist. Poch was talking himself away from the club late winter, league form collapsed (6 wins in the last 15) and players like Eriksen completely checked out mentally.
I’ll always love our time under Poch but we lost that CL final well before a ball was even kicked and we were only there because of some miraculous play by Moura.
Regardless of what was happening behind closed doors with Levy, he caused that. I wouldn’t want him back tbh.
The other possibility is that he's not leaving and they feel no need to state that he's not until he is. He still does have 2 years to run on his contract.
Really good post.
The fluke or fortune was the continued stay i in the role, despite the weekly embarrassments.
Arguably call that Levy's foresight or good luck as well.
But now the guillotine.
He was joking about doing a George Constanza and just showing up at his desk regardless, but at this point it’s looking likely that it will happen.
Given our recent record in finals, probably not
Two weeks since the final. The post-Europa glow has dissipated now, so the longer this goes on, the more likely he is to stay IMO.
Think it's more to do with football fans generally being overgrown, spoilt children.
Some of the protestations remind me of the spoilt brat in Willy Wonka.
"I want a golden goose and I want it NOW"
I mean, Wrexham are kinda high profile these days. But think their guys probably better qualified than Flange.
When is he back from holiday?
This is even worse than United and Ten Egg last year after the FA cup.
It was a pretty obvious decision to boot him out but you could at least make a case to keep him:
Beat the best team in the country in the final
the best performance of the season
About the only time he could claim he had his best XI
And beat LFC on the way to the final too (absolute fluke but hey)
Like I said it was a ridiculous decision. I was rooting for United that day on the off chance that they might keep him and blow me down they did!!!
With us?
We won a cup that we were favourites to win before a ball had been kicked
Lucked out with playing the likes of Bodo United and not Lyon Bilbao.
The final was just an embarrassing Allardyce/Pulis - score one and then boot the ball up to the half way line and hope they don't equalise. I cannot remember a worse match to watch that we won going back to 1969-70 season.
Cannot believe that Levy hasn't looked at the PL form and realised what a shit show it's been
The guy's toast. Thousands of STs would walk away after the garbage that Fatso has served up. I'm sure the sponsors would have an opinion and I bet he'd listen to them
You'd think so, but then again you'd think that David Cameron might have had a plan for Brexit just in case that won.
