The *WHEN* we go down thread

[metalgear]

I think Levy has big responsibility in appointing Frank and listening to Lange on that, but the saving grace that doesn’t sour his reputation completely in my mind is that if Levy wasn’t removed, Frank would have been gone in November. Levy may have been a blocker in us truly progressing into title challengers, but he never would have let it get like this.

This whole idea of showing patience is a decidedly Vinai thing, and with Lange’s prior relationship with Frank you know he would have been advocating for him too. They bear huge responsibility for this.

I am going to be fascinated by the end of season comms from the club. I already thought Vinai’s thinly veiled pops at Levy were pathetic, because whatever fails Levy has…nothing is as bad as keeping a guy in place who had no respect / buy in from the squad and was sending us on a path to relegation.

agree with this view and also of the view that dezerbi will call out player failings which will spell the end for lange. just hope we don't get relegated, because if dezerbi gets the DoF he wants then, its easy to get an above mid table quality attack assembled and I would expect the team to massively improve in terms of standings.

As crazy as it seems, I wouldn’t be surprised if both VV and JL are both still in their current positions next season even if we are in the Championship. That’s the level of indecisiveness we are currently stuck with from the “decision makers”.

I'm expecting that Vinai will keep his job but less sure about Lange, especially with a new DOF supposedly coming in - although that might change if we are relegated.

I think Lange will be publicly hung on his statement in January that we didn't need to bring in players (or words to that effect in that club interview he did). That kills his credibility publicly completely and gives weasels like Vinai a sacrificial lamb to blame his own shortcomings on.

We go down, Lange is gone without a shadow of a doubt for me.

Who honestly gives a flying **** about the executives?

He should have been sacked the moment the window shut

In his defence (I think he's GHod awful) he's only able to sign players with the awful budget he's given by the owners, whose arrogance believed it wasn't needed.
