I didn't ask that but it makes my point as he developed 3 years at Southampton before making the next step up and the same goes for Wanyama
Ange for me would need a better job like a mid table PL job or a high level European team first

This is my concern. I love the attacking ideas but it can be naive to think you can do that without adapting. Even Pep had to take his medicine when he came here and adapt his ideas. If Ange does come I hope he does the same.

I’m not an ‘Ange person’ at all, but yes if he knew it was the right fit tbh.
Think most know more than me though.
*Or so they believe.

We were fourth when we had a manager, we dropped like a lead ballon when our chairman decided to wait so he could make the right choice
Yeah but he’s really charismatic and likeable

I watched them play a game against Rangers last season and they absolutely tore them a new one, didn't hold back over ran them with wave after wave of attack. But they didn't do that to Rangers again, next times they played it was Rangers pegging Celtic back. Now Celtic still deservedly won the league, but I'd have to say that Rangers would be a more likely bet to win it next year. Maybe we're looking at the wrong manager here, maybe Michael Beale would be a better option. He was the secret to Gerrards success at Rangers and just to put that into context, stopped Celtic from winning 10 titles in a row, which is no mean feat.
did Pep have to adapt his ideas? Or did he open the cheque book and sign upgrades in all the positions he thought were weak?

If Ange is the guy, you'd like to think it's because we've done a lot more bloody research than how many titles he's won and how much money he's spent relative to the other teams in those leagues.
The one thing that gives me optimism is that, unlike our previous shambolic managerial search, we do at least appear to be targeting a certain profile of manager. Surely, you'd think we've used a whole lot of data and expert insights to come up with our list of targets based on style of play and tactical proficiency, compatibility with our squad, as well as his personality.
Maybe I'm giving the higher ups too much credit, but we've been told we're pushing towards a data driven model, it'd make a lot of sense to have actually used data a la Brighton to find a coach that suits us.
Where's the optimistic rating when you need it eh?

I wish you were right but I feel it’s more of a dartboard approach

One more thing RE: Ange
Brighton thought enough of him that he was on their shortlist to replace to Potter. (if you go back and look at the reports from September he MAY have even been their preferred choice)
