Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

[Bishop]

Ok, say we win the EL, Ange somehow stays as manager, and we do some pretty good transfer business in the summer.

What will it take for Ange to win back the doubters and the Ange out crowd next season?

Somehow I have a feeling a few decent cup runs and us being on course to a fourth/fifth place finish with a bit more defensive solidity won't do it.

For me if all of those things played out he would be back in my good books. I have nothing personal against him, I just think he's too much of an ideologue and hasn't taken stock of the materials he has had available to him. So for all of that to flip around he would have had to have taken stock and made some significant philosophicsl adaptations and that would certainly put him in my good books.

Alas as it stands I don't think he should get another season even if we do win the EL because it's all too predictable as to what will happen and what his approach will be. To even get to next session is have to see significant changes right now and that's just not going to happen.

Ange's position is completely untenable.
We are currently a joke of a team. Sorry to break it to you. We are not serious.
Our defence is wet tissue paper:

29 Dec our defence held out for a massive 6 minutes against the mighty Wolves
4 Jan we held out for a full 5 minutes vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine
19 Jan we held out for a full 12 minutes vs Everton
9 Feb we held out for a full 0 minutes vs Villa
22 Feb Ipswich should have been 2 up in the first 5 minutes
26 Feb we held out for a full 11 minutes vs Emirates Marketing Project
6 Mar we held out for a full 16 minutes vs AZ Alkmaar
10 Apr we held out for a full 5 minutes vs Eintracht Frankfurt
13 Apr we held out for a full 1 minute vs the mighty Wolves AGAIN!
21 Apr we held out for a full 4 minutes vs Forest.

That is 6+5+12+0+?+11+16+5+1+4 = Embarrassing

Hes got to go, no doubt about it.
