    Just on supposed change of tone from journos, I imagine if Paratici comes back he'll be gone.

    Ange in or out?

    Yeah the club didn't help him. He's inexperienced at this level himself and therefore surrounding him with more inexperience was a poor move and one i guess could be a reason why the club stuck with him and may give him another crack (thinking about Munn's comments along the lines of his job...

    Ange in or out?

    Agreed. There would have to be a fundamental change for me for him to succeed. A reinvention of who he is. Not saying that couldn't happen, but I just don't see it happening. For me he needs to: 1) Modify his training regime for high intensity football twice a week, to reduce stress and injury...

    Sustainable Ange-style system needs an absolute top drawer no. 6 that is positionally excellent, defensively competent and good on the ball. Particularly, needs to have a quick long-range switch to either flank in the locker. We need an opposite to Johnson on the left flank (I.e. an "outside"...

    Not sure how "outrageous" some of these are but I do think we miss this kind of improvisation and creativity when he is not in the team....

    Agreed on Fergie. I did caveat my point on that by alluding to your points. Agreed on the difficulties in comparing coach performance directly. So many variables. Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Villa resurgence makes the PL even more competitive. 8th would not have been a bad season for us this year with the...

    Ange in or out?

    Look, its been a bit of a roller coaster of (conflicting) emotions recently. I didn't allow myself to park the negative and fully enjoy the (long awaited) glory without bringing along the baggage. That's not on Ange or anyone else but me. Not watching the parade was a moment of self-sabotage...

    Ange in or out?

    The job Ange had to do was significant, but no more than any other new head coach. 9/10 a head coach comes into a job because their predecessor has been sacked, or walked, partly due to issues with club management/recruitment etc. It's very rare that a new head coach is handed the keys to a...

    James Maddison

    Also a very good footballer who started like a train with us before struggling with injuries. He's the most creative player in the squad for me by some distance.

    Ange in or out?

    Does it augur well for the upcoming season? There's definitely been a change, but: - we brought Ange in, as we were fed up of managers conceding possession and adopting a low block to grind results out. - Would we be willing to tolerate a whole season of games like the last few Europa games and...

    Ange in or out?

    Point i made before: probably out of desperation, he's targeted the Europa League, played the reserves in the League and thrown all his principles out the window by parking the bus. So where does that leave us? A man that deserves another season based on success that involved him abandoning...

    Sorry for over expecting. I admit, it was a hell of an achievement for this club to beat the drop. And while we didn't quite get to the magical 40 points, we were well clear of the bottom 3 and I need to be grateful for that, I admit....

    I don't really get the "what's happening with Moore?" Stuff. The lad had to get dispensation from school to play in a match this season. That's what we are dealing with. He's had far more exposure to PL football than was probably originally planned. He's still growing and developing. He gets...

    OMT: European Champions v Brighton - Sunday 25 May

    I don't hate him. Check the OMT from the final. I explicitly stated that on a personal level I was happy for Postecoglu, seeing him celebrate with his family and get a good reception from the fans. I also stated I was happy for him that he gets to flick a bit of a two-fingers up to the press...

    No different to any other major club these days. The coaching team are not that involved in transfers any more, because the footballing strategy is set by the sporting director and the coaching staff are expendable - the strategy should carry on under a new head coach. The head coach does get...
