    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Ange departs

    There's a small part of me which wonders what would have happened if Ange had stayed. Could he have got a newly confident group of players to perform superbly in the league? But the Chairman and Board were presumably able to ask questions and get answers to questions which we don't know about...

    Still not sure why furloughing staff during Covid, riled some folks. It was perfectly legal and above board, no reason not to, and i think many football clubs did it.............

    Ange departs

    The medical and conditioning team have apportioned blame for the injuries on the coaching team I haven't seen this, is there a source? We all knew Ange's kamikaze defending was partly to blame but if the Medical dept had data to prove that, it must have helped make the Board's mind up.

    Ange departs

    But have we not just removed a guy who has instilled a true will to win a group of players ? No, the players have proved again and again that losing is ok if it's the Ange way.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    But ultimately it’ll mean nothing. It does mean that those of us who pay for our STs and seats might go to the Lane expecting us not to be a goal down before 10 minutes is up.

    As Madders said "his self-belief is probably his biggest strength" - which is another way of saying he's a crap football coach.

    Ange departs

    I didn't like the way Ange bristled at the suggestion his role was in jeopardy, the "why am I even being asked about my future?" comments. If he couldn't see that our "unacceptable" (his word) league position was reason to question him, it meant he is out of touch. His arrogance and self-belief...

    The fanbase united against Gattuso in a way I've seldom seen before, Nonsense, just the Twitterati, I couldn't give a fudge about what he had said about women and football in the past

    Ange departs

    I'm sad because IF Ange was prepared to employ the best coaches under him, and let them organise the structure, while he just acted as a kind of motivator, it might have been great. But maybe he thinks there were no issues to address...

    I wonder what Ryan Mason told Levy about Ange? Praise or scorn?

    Ange departs

    If Ange wasn't going to change the way he sets up the team - he had to go. Sad but true.

    Ange departs

    The league went to brick in the first instance with all the injuries....caused by the kamikaze defending we do because of his ludicrous tactics. What is the point of all our high-intensity pressing and turnovers leading to scoring goals, if we leak more goals at the other end???

    Ange departs

    Chris Cowlin reckons that 70% of fans want Ange to stay - his sample being the 2600 who voted on his channel, but whether that is representative, who knows, it could include fans of other clubs! It is a genuinely tough decision - you'd have to be sure that a new manager could cope with 2 games a...

    Only seen the white version - yuk, looks like a pyjama top, not quite vomit inducing, but pretty hideous at first glance.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    I'd forgotten that Ange will have won himself a CL bonus, I was just thinking about the EL Cup bonus- and I did have the sneaky thought that maybe Ange prioritised the Cup because he thought he wanted to earn that EL Cup bonus. Well never know how much financial ambition drove Ange down that...

    Donna Cullen gone...first of the changes?

    I just wrote on another thread, could be coincidence but the new man will re-shape the board, so now is the time to leave if you'd rather not report to him....

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    I wonder - is Donna Cullen's resignation a co-incidence, or is it the new CEO starting to reshape the Board? The fact that there's a new man coming in to lead the business may have prompted Donna to think that a less pressured life might suit well suit her....

    Ange departs

    I saw a graph which showed we were top (or thereabouts) for intensity of sprints done. If we lose so many games, I'm tempted to say "What's the point of all that sprinting?". Wouldn't we be better getting the players in positions where not so many sprints are required, especially defensively...
