No it won't be understandable at all. What do we want??? Finishing in the top 8 is the only way to save a manager's job?? A trophy means nothing in that sense?

No one can ever possibly convince me that's the way to build a successful club. It'll mean you're forever chasing something that you can't even fudging define.

But it’s not convince you. Outside of the Europa League, Ange’s tenure has been a disaster. Yes tou can add caveats, you can also add caveats against the Europa league win ( not that it diminishes the achievement).

It all comes down to, do you think Ange is the person who can move us forward and in all likelihood the answer is probably No. A trophy means everything for the fans unfortunately a cup completion when held against a league record which is incredibly poor means a tough decision needs to be made and if it’s Ange losing his job, I can see why.

My personal opinion is that if he stays the summer, he needs to be given the whole of next season, unless we really do plateau.

Ok. Ange finished 5th and then won the Europa League, delivering on your expectations of European football in both seasons. Glad to know you want him to stay too.

looking at the past is good but anticipating the future is where I am at.
we're different in that way I guess.

if our form in the europa league is so good then why can't we replicated it in the premier league?

you wish for ange to stay may come true - levy or venkat might take the risk, afterall there's a massive upsurge in fan goodwill right now.

but once ange starts to lose a string of games or suffer injuries to key players - its going to be painful watching him slowly wilt with little chance to win anything as we are not eligible for Europa League anymore.

to win the FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and to get Top 5 EPL placings - you need to beat a lot of the top half EPL teams, and I don't see it happening with Ange and his assistant coaches.

I think most of us want us to play good entertaining football - and if we manage to do that, the results, and trophies, will follow.

But as you say, I think it will be difficult for the club to justify sacking the man who has brought us the most prominent piece of silverware for 41 years. I'm in two minds about it. I think he deserves another season, but dread the prospect of another year with the football we have served up this season.
