Ange in or out?

It's NOTHING to do with opinions, it is about how they're being stated. 'Useless POS'? Come on...

Should change his name user name to very immature spur.

The best manager we have brought in since Pochettino came in mid season. I've not got any confidence in this board to appoint a decent manager in the summer. We could've had Slot instead of Ange but wouldn't pay the release fee. We could've had Conte instead of Nuno that summer but wouldn't promise him the transfer funds (only for the promises to magically appear mid-season when the 'ENIC/Levy out' chants were getting louder and louder in the stadium and Nuno was sacked). If Ange goes in the summer then I suspect we'll spend £10m paying off Ange thus reducing our transfer budget and then take a manager who is cheap to obtain.

I have no more faith than you that they will pick a suitable manager but I think the chances of that lessen dramatically if we have to do it mid season. Like you said I don't believe we are a particularly attractive option for an ambitious coach and picking up next season after another poor start just makes the job even less enticing. At least if we were to win the EL a new manager has the prospect of the CL to excite them and plan for.

You’re entitled to your view. And I actually agree with your core point 100%. But there is no need to call the guy “a piece of brick”. It’s unnecessary. He’s landed in a job that, IMO, he doesn’t have the ability to do well. He hasn’t killed anyone. Dunno why people can’t articulate their point without resorting to nasty insults. Doesn’t reflect well on anyone.

I agree with this.
I don’t think he’s a good manager and at times( recently most of the time) his attitude also does not sit well with me.

Having said that I watched an interview with him on you tube with tnt sports, think it was this week and it resonated with me. He came across humble and a man who has dreams and aspirations like us all. This is a guy who has had to fight for recognition and respect and he has come very far. Fair play to that and for that I hope he wins the trophy as much for himself as for us and I can wish him well in that note.
We have mutually achievable goal and let’s hope we do it

Yep, but there are people on this forum who still believe he is the man for us.

I do not think he is the man for us and I do want him gone, I have done since October/November, even the end of last season I thought the writing was on the wall. Yet you flipped me off when I said its mad to keep him

Saying that "I honestly think people want to lose Wednesday" because they have a view that the manager isn't the right fit long term is properly funny.

Ange performance has been an abomination bar the EL and he has to win it or its even worse than that , if he wins it fair fcking play, he also likely gets next season. But what he doesn't get is the deckchair moment of dining out on it at the expense of next years league. If the form reads L-D-L after free he can hit the skids and no one can complain IMO

The idea we gave up the league for the EL is fanciful in itself, that would have had to be the case about 5 games in and most sane people know it wasn't.

Lets win the EL, after the disaster of a season, we need to first and foremost

Agree with all of that except Ange getting next season - unless there is a very clear plan on how to improve PL performance. And that has to be more than the EL results - sad as it is, the EL performances are PL mid table.

He killed my spirit.

The fat Cnut. Hope he chokes on his arrogance.

No one can kill your spirit Danish, you are the indomitable (fudge I'm beginning to sound like George Galloway ) survivor of this board.

Where I disagree is that he didn't get a shot at winning the EL because he's a better manager than any of those who came before him, but simply because he was allowed to completely throw away the league.

Not sure he ‘threw away the league’ on purpose, but no teams dropping down from the CL this year is probably the most important factor.
