I wonder if Ange would go to Rangers

I think the media are on a witch hunt with him. They know he will react, so the goading is now constant. Just about every game he is the one manager, who is constantly in the headlines. You never see that with Arteta or previously Klopp, who are two utter cunts in their interviews. I'm not saying Ange shouldn't be asked questions about his style of management or team results, but, the media are deliberately trying to antagonise him now for a reaction.

 

This is mental. The media were rimming his hoop first few months he was here, they've just realised what an absolute fool he is and now no longer play nice with him. He really is an unlikable guy imo.

 

He's about as "nice guy" as Bruce was.

Julien Laurens just perfectly summed up Ange's personality in one sentence on BBC 5Live "He thinks he's Jose Mourinho when he's actually Martin Jol".

Shocked and baffled how he’s still there. It’s been a truly appalling season for Spurs

Have seen a few of his interviews and thought the guy interviewing him at the time has basically been goading him into a reaction. Really provocative questions to get him to boot off and it's been pretty obvious 

 

I've also seen him being an obnoxious, rude and disrespectful cunt tbph. In the middle of their slump he couldn't even look at the person interviewing him, mumbling the same old shit, moaning about the ref or the injuries and was coming across as an utter prick. His mask definitely slipped this season and I think he's way closer to being a cunt rather than being sound

Even a cunt can have a valid point from time to time - I fully agree with what he says in that video, where I live in Loughborough last week two were arrested for one walking around with a make shift bomb and the other recording it (for tik tok apparently ) it’s ridiculous.

 

Loughborough bomb threat

That Southampton guy needs sacking. Just a nothing appointment. Never staying up when they appointed, never a guy you want in the Championship.

 

Them and Leicester deserve back to back relegations for how they've been this season, yet will use the Prem money to inflate themselves to a title march.

Southampton should be fucking docked points by the complete and utter lack of interest and ambition. Took the absolute piss this season.

I feel sorry for Leicester. Title win, FA Cup win, dared to upset the big 6 for a few years. One bad season and it derailed them. Could happen to any of the likes of Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth through little fault of their own. One season where their model has a few duds and it's all gone.

Their situation is more akin to Everton, Villa and us.

 

Brentford and maybe Brighton have low wages. They would be back up with a relegation and be able to spend to stay up.

 

Leicester's wage bill is still crippling them. They've been making poor decisions though. RVN was always going to fail. Cooper can at least get some team spirit and have the team working hard for each other. RVN typical mediocre Dutch manager, no interpersonal skills, can't even motivate a pack of spaniels.

 

Pending: Leicester 1 - Newcastle 0 

 

But seriously if we can't beat these we don't deserve CL. If we can get an early goal their fight will disappear and the crowd will leave / turn toxic. Might not even be full tonight.

Great, incoming new manager bounce vs Villa please. 

[Pilko]

Well, we can file Ivan Juric alongside other Premier League appointments such as Jan Siewert, Terry Connor and Nathan Jones who were parachuted into a doomed scenario where a Fergie & Cloughy joint ticket wouldn't have done the trick.

 

Seemed an odd one at the time unless they were retaining him for next year's promotion push, now they're not it just makes no sense at all.

I guess the other danger to mid-clubs suddenly yo-yo'ing, is that they miss that and end up getting marooned like Swansea, Stoke, WBA, Blackburn, Sunderland, etc have. They need to probably keeping bouncing between the two leagues a bit and hope one appointment nails it, or they scrape 17th one year and get back out of the cycle.

 

Seems to be getting more and more difficult if you go down, to re-establish yourself. 

[Decky]

Promotion in the Premier League is becoming more and more pointless as every season passes. Obviously there's a financial benefit but the promoted clubs need an exceptional season to even have a sniff of staying up. They can't throw money behind the squad to improve it because the costs of going from the top of the Championship to mid table Premier League are well beyond what PSR allows. 

 

Forest went for it and got punished, now it's worked out for them in the long run but other clubs won't want to take the risk of points being deducted. Just look at the Championship table now. Sheffield United were a joke last season and now they're on course to come back. Just completely and utterly pointless as they'll clearly be getting smashed and sent back down next season if they do come up.

They’ll (the cartel) be desperate to stop another Forest happening with promoted teams challenging for CL within a couple of years of promotion

Must be strange for the fans as surely the Championship seasons for these teams are more exciting than the Premier League ones and therefore getting promoted doesn't become exciting as you just know that you are going to get spanked the following season. 

[joeyt]

They'll go for the Sheff Wed manager

[Bunk Moreland]

Had no idea that Johannes Spors who was apparently one of our sporting director candidates had joined Southampton

[WilliamPS]

Well part of the reason it’s so hard for the promoted clubs is that the midtable teams are all currently well run, that will change and someone else will get a chance.
 

The PL used to have some dreadful teams hanging around 13th-17th, including Brice era NUFC, I think having a competitive midtable is a decent offset  to having the promoted teams being really competitive. If Potter sorts West Ham next season it might only be Everton that are an active avoid.

 

Although this season was probably a bit too extreme

Rogers was Leicesters problem buying everybody he could. And then not using them.

Put them in a financial mess.

He finished 5th twice though and won them an FA cup, aside from the title winning season that's as good as anyone has ever done for Leicester. Always thought it was strange the way the fans turned on him, now look at the mess they are in.
