I think just under 50, banking on better form with the return of some crucial players. But then they, or others will no doubt get injured again so probably wishful thinking - you are probably right

High 30s for me, but I don't see us going down, be safe with games to spare imo.I think just under 50, banking on better form with the return of some crucial players. But then they, or others will no doubt get injured again so probably wishful thinking - you are probably right

The main argument for keeping him is the League Cup. Ironically, I think our only chance of going through is with a new man who’ll add a bit of unpredictability for Liverpool to deal with.
No way I see Ange getting a result there second leg.
I looked at the remaining fixtures and came to the same conclusion. We will get enough to stay up but geez, struggling for 40pts.

As i've always suspected, maybe many of you are thinking of Ange now in the way the board have thought for a while...see the real lack of backing in the summer window.
Regardless of that, we should be doing much better in any case.
I do suspect board has nowhere left to go: within football coaching circles the good ones who could get much better out of this squad know how we are and there's only so many perceived broken promises they can muster before the only ones who'll take the job are the chancers who'll have a ready-made excuse lined-up when their coaching fails...oh well..

For me it's not us being any good that will save us, it that the rest are muck.
If true fair enough. But he's the one i've wanted for years.

It’s Europa for me
That’s why you keep him
It’s a lower standard than the domestic cups and 2 legged
That gives us a fighting chance
Pool is a free hit
Villa are very beatable with our record there but timing of that isn’t good

The club must also know that a new manager won't want to walk into a collosal injury crisis either.

Yep
I also think a new guy will say he what’s the say on exiting the cowards, but the club won’t allow that

I just can't see that at all. We haven't been gaining points at the rate needed for that to happen since his first 10 games here, and that was 15 months ago now.
I honestly don't think the missing players are that much better that it'll make a difference. The system is fundamentally flawed. Not sure even a squad like City's could make it work across a 60 game season.

No. He left another set of the copies of the photos of Levy on the chairman's desk this morning - just as a reminder.

Doubt it, probably in charge of training and they wouldnt let him anywhere near the training pitches if he were to be sacked. He should have been sacked on previous form as many have gone for a lot less.
He has until the Liverpool semi final, and maybe longer if we win it, and somehow beat Leicester on Sunday.
However, if we lose Leicester he could be gone after that...

Honestly mate, there is no chance of us winning Europa with him IMO. The amount of “on our day” performances we’d need would be ridiculous. I’d have more confidence in winning that if we appointed someone like Rafa Benitez on an interim basis (not saying I want FSW by the way).

They go together though. If we tightened up at the back, then the goals wouldn't be going in in their goal.
Management is about finding the balance between the two. When has that ever been the case with Ange? I don't even know whether he is capable of getting a defensive record of 30-35 goals over a 38 game season. That is even if you had the players to score 80-100 in the other goal. That is what our club need. Not another Ossie.
I was trying to hold on with Ange to prove to myself that given a full compliment of players he could perform. I actually think we're wasting everyone's time going through that process now, just to be the good guys. He's a dispensable asset. Just pay him off and move on. He's not on a huge salary anyway.
I also have a feeling this is the very reason we've just raised the £35m capital. It means we can switch managers and not impact the development of the squad. That hasn't been the case when we've paid the severance to guys like Jose and Conte.
