    Son Heung-Min

    There is an interview where Son talks about it (he wasn't trying to brick on Ange), think it was first season, where he was asked, and he said the plan is not for him to be in that position, went on to talk about where Ange expects them, FBs and the ball to play (it basically was, you don't get...

    He may be, but he hasn't shown it in the PL (same complaint as against Ange)

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

    Amorim's results to this point (or at least to last couple of games of season) are worse than the last manager of Derby in the PL (one of the historically worse teams ever) United absolutely can't afford to miss Europe again, they also (like us) may not have the buffer of three sides as bad as...

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

    So for someone who in the end (my opinion and club's) had to go, I disagree His results -> EL & CL qualification, Domestic cup SF, EL winners. He took the 17 year monkey off our back, and he gave plenty of game time to Bergvall, Gray, Wilson, Tel that will likely pay off for us in long run...

    It's not fitness I'm concerned about, it's playing how Frank wants them

    ITK Thread

    For clarity (I'm not arguing the point) - Son outperformed his xG by a margin that was clear of everyone else in Europe for several years (including Kane, Lewa, etc.) - The distribution (two footedness) of his goals were right up there as well. The guy was an elite level finisher, was he the...

    yes and no ... We want/need to give Frank as much advantages as we can going into season, yes squad doesn't need major surgery but if we could get a top level player in, especially if they could do the tour and be ready for Aug 13th? We have a cup to win in his first competitive game.

    Happy to bow out, Ange gave me - A great night, trophy, monkey off the back, and the chance to tell those two fudges to shut up I am grateful ..

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

    Everything is odds, how you approach a press, how you manage set pieces, transitions, it's all about small advantages, my point is Ange (in the league) gave up too many of those percentages to the opposition for not enough reward, the EL proves it - Last 5 EL games, primarily played a 4-2-4...

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

    but he didn't in the league? from the semi where he rolled out the 4-2-4 model, I really would have liked to see him do that in the league. The issue is he didn't believe he needed to (stubborn, belief, whatever reason), and part of the final evaluation is regardless of success in EL, he...

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

    They have a place in pro football, his record proves that, it's worked at a pretty decent level. Does it work at the absolute highest level? PL data says no, not consistently enough. The whole thread is a bit of a re-hash but to me, remains pretty simple. You had a manager that a certain way...

    Best interpretation is -> he doubled down on the mistake The signs were there at end of last season, the club must have had reflection points pre/post January window. In every one of those reflection points, evaluations, a decision had to be made, stick or change. The reasonable interpretation...

    IIRC (if it's same interview), he said it was the duty of the board to evaluate any offers and determine if it was right/appropriate for club/shareholders. Think people are confusing want to, plan to, or possibly. I'm not interested in selling my car/house right now, but if someone offered the...

    They could/may sell, at some point the offer will be right, that however is different from their objective was to sell (flip, doing it on cheap narrative), what that original time horizon was and is, unknown. And to put into context, ENIC have held on to Spurs longer than any other club in the...

    Liverpool thread

    Yep, they are going for it .. I'm not sure Wirtz (or anyone not established top elite group) is worth that money, but they are in a place to build. Still think the VVD, Salah, end will be interesting for them to navigate when it comes.

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

    He probably has till October or November to turn it around (very unlikely), so it's quite possible United is doing the ETH thing again (without the trophy) and not only will they have a limited pool of managers to choose from at that point, but less money, more players potentially not aligned to...

    ENIC

    A lot of that is a fundamentally wrong statement. ENIC (not Levy) does things on a self sustaining model which handicaps the club in ways, however. - All profit belongs to the owners, and they have put 20+ years of profit (i.e. their own money) into the club, so when people make the "oh, ENIC...

    His contract ends next year, so he can't be deadwood Worst case is we lose some revenue, pay extra wages and the season doesn't work out for him and fans turn on him.

    And I am 100% in the same place, why would a conservative chairman who's previous statements usually amount to vague commitment to "success on pitch/football side" comments, in a recorded statement say "a EL trophy is not enough, we want to win PL/CL"? he could easily have said we want to win...
