    Johnson did against Tamworth I think ?

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    Ahh Redknapp. A man who built himself a caracature and then told everyone how much he hated it. He was a great manager and treated the players like people, which was definitely a shortcoming of AVB after him. He really should have kept his mouth shut around the time he was being touted for the...

    Ange in or out?

    Great read and an interesting take - but there's still absolutely no basis in fact to your statement that we would be in a better place if Ange had been sacked in November. What you have provided is a little insight to those who are not involved in the corporate world on a daily basis of the...

    Mbuemo is a great shout, he's fast, powerful and has huge self belief. We need a bit more of that in our team.

    Ange in or out?

    I've enjoyed the debate but I have to call you on something before I step back a little... you say here that a new manager would have given a higher chance of saving the season, with absolutely no way of knowing. I know you are a subscriber to the "ange injured the players" motif, but beyond...

    You're flying against the wind there and you probably know it. This board and anyone else associated with the club were all saying that Reguilon, PEH and Royal were not good enough.

    Ange in or out?

    I'm not sure he was better, but he was certainly someone who right now seems to have had a lasting legacy with the club - he set the ball rolling towards our climb into the top 4 for a decade ahead. It might be that in time we come to see Ange as the guy who helped us move from the end of the...

    Ange in or out?

    Inagree and Missed this post and there's a lot here, so bear with me. Vicario and Raya have strengths and weaknesses, but I would say that in terms of the confidence he instills in his defence, Raya is the calmer and less likely to flap. Perception only, I watch far more Spurs than Goons...

    Ange in or out?

    100% agree. If (insert tabloid football website) says we were in for a player and didn't get them, soon after the report it seems to be set in stone as being a fact that we were trying to sign them and failed, and then people wheel the story out as ongoing evidence of our ineptitude at signing...

    Ange in or out?

    We have appointed people in this sort of role before, Paratici, Baldini, even Munn. All have had a mandate to take on the footballing side of the club and take it forward. It's possible that this is what you say, and I hope it is because then we can look to reinvent ourselves, but I will not...

    Ange in or out?

    By your very own logic you've just said that the judgement of players by fans is useless. Do you include yourself in that? You're being quite aggressive in the way you are wording things, and it's pretty unnecessary. You are also stating your opinion as fact which it isn't.

    Ange in or out?

    Yes but just because other clubs have it too doesn't make our situation right does it? Listen I'm here justifying to the Ange out phalanx why I said that I'm not behind sacking him. I'm not trying to pick holes in every decision we had made or haven't made. I am however pointing to the fact...

    Ange in or out?

    Fair comment on the revamping of the squad, I agree we are better now than we were when Ange arrived. But we have played a lot of this season with an 18 year old midfielder in central defence, no recognised left back and at one point a very over hill 37 year old keeper, not to mention the lack...

    OH I love the purchases of Gray and Bergvall etc, the future proofing looks better again, but there have been big holes in the squad in terms of quality and even sheer numbers that you cannot ignore surely?

    And you probably didn't see it when he finished fifth with us last season? What a bizarre thing to say. We have had 15 managers in 24 years. So that is a change every one point six years. Which is 19-20 months. How can you argue therefore that we won't end up back here again if that is what...
