    I wanted Eze last season. He gives us several very creative options.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Are you saying injuries have no bearing if you're good enough? Surely it's a matter of numbers, both in terms of who is hurt and who is then available.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Incredible. It is a simple point. He succeeded. He brought us our first European trophy in 41 years. Trophies = success in a tangible form. No-one is arguing that he succeeded in the Premier League. You simply said he hadn't succeeded. Quotes from Ange? Great. But again, trophies are the...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Errrr...I agree it isn't a black and white answer, but it is also inaccurate to say he didn't succeed. He did. He won a trophy. That's probably the single most tangible example of success football allows us.

    Because he was far, far in the background. Ange was front, centre and solo.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The key here is (IMO anyway) that they had made the decision to move on a few months before the end of the season. I believe Ange knew it/sensed it anyway. Truthfully, I don't know if he'd have taken the gamble to put all eggs in a single basket otherwise. It was a 'death & glory' sort of...

    To me, this is an opinion expressed. Love to read it, like to see where I can take something from it that challenges my opinions, and in essence, is exactly what you have argued for ages forums should be about. I wholly agree.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Regardless of any differing opinions we hold, I agree it is an absolute truth that he was not the right manager for the next stage of our journey. 100%. Frank fits on every level. Ange only fitted the hope & imagination side, because clearly he is the sort of manager operates outside the full...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I've said it before, but I think the club knew they weren't taking him back since February and sat quietly leaving him to deal with the flack in the knowledge he would not go FC (full Conte). By 'them' I mean the chairman + football management team.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The main reason I started this thread was precisely so as respect could be shown for the new manager whilst also allowing people to air out the last vestiges of whataboutery and history with regards to Postecoglu. @billyiddo raised the fact that is natural to refer to past managers during the...

    They hung him out to dry. If you don't agree, all good. I told people this was a no-lose thing for Levy as relegation was never going to happen.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    That's simply being a top manager in a relentless environment where the quality of craft from those he's facing has dramatically reduced. You have essentially framed what every half-decent PR tells their client to do - bring the topic to a place you want it to be. I understand you don't care for...

    I think there's a power and dynamism in him -plus great close control- that if harnessed and coached properly could see a really prooductive player.
