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

    Redknapp over played his hand after being passed over by England - went in hard with the club over a new contract having just fudged our season. A bit of humility and he'd have likely seen it through.

    Ange in or out?

    In terms of quantity we had cover, the argument is over quality. Like I have said elsewhere- City have no CF cover or adequate cover for Rodri and that's the richest spendiest team n the country - it happens

    You don't get everything you want, no squad is perfect, sometimes you have to make do and as a make do option it's not the worst and frankly as an excuse it's scraping the barrel

    2 PL clubs took him on loan in recent seasons and used him as cover - it's a position we needed to improve, that much is true but it's also true we had cover at LB going in to this season.

    The way i understand Angeball is that it's the system/tactics that creates the chances not an individual playmaker, it's probably why Maddison looks a shadow of his early days here as he's become more of a cog than the steering wheel as the twctics have bedded in. So looking at it as there is no...

    It's on paper comparable to our worst ever seasons, agreed? From there my take is that pound for pound it's the worst season as there is such a disparity between the quality of the team and the results of our performance (position in table) - poor performances & results are expected with a poor...

    I think you've actually argued against your own point here - those sides were awful (thankfully I'm not as old as you so will have to take your word on it ;) ) but our current team isn't- so what does that tell you about the managerial performance this season? A comparable outcome to our worst...

    This is the crux of the issue with the excuses that get trotted out in defence of Ange imv - he has had some tough situations to navigate, no doubt about it - but he has failed with flying colours to find a way of working through them

    I think the fact that other clubs are often demonstratably short in a couple of areas shows that it's not really a valid excuse or a unique failing of the current setup here tbqh - if City's squad feels the effect of a few injuries how can we expect not to? Squads are rarely perfect or well...

    I'm not really sure that matters in the context - if the cause for complaint is that we didn't secure our primary target then the secondary target turning out to be better doesn't change the fact we initially missed out - we were just fortunate with how the cards fell. But like I say - having...

    Part of a having a good transfer department is having multiple options for whichever area of the squad you are looking to strengthen through the market - we as a club & a fanbase want to target the best players but those players will more often than not have other suitors and if those suitors...

    We have had an incredible number of injuries tbf - i think if you give any other club bar Chelsea our injury list then they are going to be having to patch up in places. It isn't uncommon for clubs to be short in a couple of areas. Arsenal are playing CMs at CF and CBs at full back, City don't...

    I don't think there are big holes in the squad, I think we have a starting XI of varying quality and good* cover for most if not all positions. * relative to what would be seen as an average position in the table for us, eg 6th

    I asked you to clarify what you meant by back here - back where? Chances are, going by league average we'll be moving on to a new manager after a couple of seasons, that's modern football. We've actually bucked the trend on that front with Ange being given 2 full seasons despite the returns...

    You're several years late with those complaints - we've restructured the football & transfer department at the club since the end of the Mourinho era and continue to do so and we are back to targeting players for the short-medium-long term
