Always thought this is why he got the job.
Probably also said he'd give some of the deadwood a chance to redeem themselves. Or at least push their value up.

Didn't even notice Mendy was gone.
They did go through the last 1 or 2 seasons with no definite no.1 as both their keepers were no.1's when they bought them. That was my point though
Jurgen was 29 when he signed and coming off 5 goals in the World Cup. He was very much one of the finest strikers in the world and pretty much the only good thing Sugar did whilst chairman.
Extremely unlikely that happens, I know people will cite Aurier and Doc but they were entirely different situations.
Not saying we haven't, but could we claim they are top talents.
Well that was a one off and not sustained tbf, don't be surprised if we never see anything like that again in our lifetimes.
They did win an FA cup later, I'd love for us to win an FA cup.
It’s great to have a likeable guy like Ange in charge and doing the interviews again.
The press conferences sure have been dull the last few years
So, he wants to prove you can build a big club that can win and compete in CL.
Well it would be true to say that we don't have to spend obscene amounts to win cup competitions.
I'd trust him and Gabbanini to get that right more than the club.
We just have to hope they are given the license to make football decisions and probably just make Gabbanini the de facto DOF
They didn't build a big club that can really compete with the establishment.
Let's hope so, he is a likeable bloke, hope he gets the results and success he wants.
I mean it makes sense to hire a manager who doesn't need to spend fortunes as that is not what we do...That's why the Mourinho and Conte appointments were so strange. Buying good young players and bringing others through the academy is a much better fit for how we are run.
Also, any manager will give the 'deadwood' a go when they come to a new club, that doesn't mean they cannot quickly identify if they are wanted or not. GLC and Perisic seem to have a future here and maybe even Davidson. Dier, Tanguy and Spence on the other hand have been deemed surplus to requirements.
Did he say that or are you making an assumption?
How much is he worth in 2 years?
Have you seen/read the quotes?
Just some of the points he made in his last press conference but no, I haven't seen/read him state that he wants to prove that he can build a CL club that rivals the establishment.
My assumption is that his first aim is to beat Brentford, and for the season get into a position in the PL table that equates to having European football, which is nothing new for us.
I haven't seen or read anything about his aim for the long term, heck he might not even still be here next season, judging by Levy's form for going through managers.
