    Pragmatic was top of my wants for a new manager personally. Come in and marry his philosophy to what is actually at his disposal and then work from this jump off to a more attacking system.

    I think it's interesting that people accept the narrative that we have the 17th best team/squad in the league. What is the stat? In 20 years previous we hadn't been out of the top 8. Ive seen posters say a reason that he should have been given time is that we finished 5th in his first season...

    That is a real press release Whether you agree or not it provides reasoning and context, which is all you can ask for when a decision is made.

    P45 apparently I'm indifferent about it. I do think that Brighton game killed him though. All that goodwill from the cup win just evaporated in 90 mins. After the Europa I think he had a chance of staying. Bold move by the club.

    Champions League 24/25

    I don't think so they are much more balanced between attack and defense. The closest style to ours is Barcelona and they're equally as vulnerable.

    He said he does it at every club he's been at. The club backed him is the way I see it. He believed he could do it his way, the last two years I hope has shown him differently.

    So is Tel around the same price as Eze? We should be dropping him off at the airport.

    Said from when he came that the coaching set up was madness. A brand new manager alongside brand new coaches trying to instil a brand new tactical system. He did bring some in, so it's not all on the club, not bringing people he'd worked with before is just not optimal at all.

    I think there is context in the fact that the Brighton performance post 3 day bender wasn't even one of our worst performances. I was there and didn't think we played 'badly' in the sense that I don't think we played any worse than we usually do. Taken singularly the performance has a lot...

    Sounds a lot like managing to me

    I was responding to the question of Ange next season. That recruitment etc is second to him modifying the tactical setup.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    For me all those come behind being set up properly tactically, and playing a system suited to the league. The things you've mentioned will only support a modified style of football. Without that as the jumping off point I don't see any progression for our league form.

    Don't think better players are the priority. It's like people saying a #6 will change our fortunes. What is needed is better tactics and setup to get the best out of what we have and bring in. I'd be more interested in backing him with better coaches.

    I sat next to a woman who flies over from Florida to watch us. Flights, accomodation and she sits in hospitality. There was another couple on their honeymoon, first time in England, the guy had convinced his wife to go watch Spurs as part of thier trip. Certainly meant something to them.

    I like how he defends us, but at the same time I'm not a fan of how he talks us down like we were some perennial strugglers before he came. Yeah the season before we finished 8th but what about before that? Sometime them quotes are padded with cherry picked stats.

    OMT: European Champions v Brighton - Sunday 25 May

    Well then I think regardless if people think he should go or not, this mindset will go a long way to unifying the fans. Accept he's staying, give him the first few games and then judge with no qualifiers, or mitigations. Either performances turn around (and I would say performances rather than...

    I accept that he'll stay and be given the chance to change the course of the ship. I hope things improve. I don't accept writing off the Brighton game as an outlier of our league performances, or the reasoning that we were concentrating on the cups (outside of rotation) as why we're tactically...
