Imo it will all come down to a simple thing - will Ange change his style slightly and focus on improving us defensively (which is our biggest issue). If the answer is no then he will be sacked in the near future. If he is willing to adjust somewhat then maybe he can turn it around. Being stubborn and just saying to himself "my way will work eventually" will be what costs him his job.
honestly, Dear Daniel should be the next manager as its probably the only way he will get sacked! Having invested in players that could play a certain way and have certain attributes it would have to someone who values the same but shows a different tactical approach or flexibility (btw I'm not one who thinks ange is not flexible - we've played a variety of systems this year already but most seem to think he only has 1 way).I see a few folks calling for him to be sacked or give him the season and most likely sack him after that. I think my question is who would be the next man up, if that happened? Thomas Frank? Meh. Marco Silva? Meh x2. We missed the boat on Slot, Amorim, etc. Iraola could be intriguing.
I think that’s my fear; that the grass is not greener (we’ve learned this numerous times over the past few seasons) and I’m kind of struggling to see an obvious upgrade on Ange. It’s a genuine question in regards to who comes next, because I really have no clue.
Don't you dare utter the S word lest you summon him.honestly, Dear Daniel should be the next manager as its probably the only way he will get sacked!

bt now we've tried younger coaches (Poch, AVB), older (Redknapp), from outside PL (Santini, Gross), etc, etc. What's clear is that chairman & board have no vision for this club. They have set no sporting goals & recruited against that (players, coaching staff, medical staff, e.g, physios, sports psychologists, etc.). I wouldn't be surprised to see DL sack Ange, Lange & Munn & replace them with Pleat (cos he's free & probably cheaper) and Southgate.
It's a moot discussion (I'm not dismissing your question) because of the above. We will only see continuity & improvement when even the cleaning staff at the club are clear about the organisations goals! When that is true, then the terraces and the supporters will follow suit. Till then, we will be spursy, brilliant 1 week, useless the next, hire shiny new manager only to destroy him, buy young players but never give them the chance to grow in a winning team, etc.
My response is a genuine answer to your question and I doubt there's many other fans who don't feel the same way about us since the CL final.
And we've wanted every single one of them sacked. So not nonsense.Also, the constant 'no-one else could ever do better so why change' is nonsense. We've had managers during Enic's tenure that have done better. Sometimes with less.
Google, find me available football managers with links to Tottenham Hotspur...I see a few folks calling for him to be sacked or give him the season and most likely sack him after that. I think my question is who would be the next man up, if that happened? Thomas Frank? Meh. Marco Silva? Meh x2. We missed the boat on Slot, Amorim, etc. Iraola could be intriguing.

Spot on post mate and I agree.I actually don't think "defense" is our biggest issue.
If I were to prioritize things to fix:
1. Consistency in attack. We tend to have lots of possession, but we are really poor in the attacking end. If we can't hit on a counter, then our players seem lost for ideas. We don't move the ball around with intent, nor do we try to take players on, nor do we have players who will consistently put balls across or on target from outside the box. Yes, we are scoring goals - but not consistently enough to dominate teams from the front.
2. Transition defense - we get cut open on a regular basis, and its nothing to do with our central defenders, though they often take the blame. We end up caught out of position - and CMs and FBs are not there to cover runners leaving our central defenders exposed.
3. Corner/free kick defense - nobody has any confidence out there - we have been moderately successful, but I fear that is more luck than skill.
4. Passing. Seems rather simple, but we are not a very good passing team - which is important if we want to be in possession. We have difficulty playing out from the back, we have difficulty in transition, we have difficulty in the attacking third. Most of our players struggle to even properly weight a pass - often making soft passes when we need a crisp pass, or firing it in, when we need a bit of touch.
When it comes to actually defending - when we get bodies behind the ball, we are not bad - like most teams we can limit shots, block shots, and intercept passes. Maybe we could use a bit of work closing down on crosses - but, again, I think we have much higher priorities to work on.

Anyone but himselfWho do we expect Levy would look at if Ange goes? Frank? Silva? Potter i assume.
If you need that explaining to you, it's probably not worth explaining to you because it's been said plenty of times, by plenty of people.Speak specifics. Tell me, why do you think this squad of his is not his and why this squad is only good enough for 5 wins, 5 losses after 11 games ?
Easy to say he wasnt backed...Fact is, Ange has never spoken anything to suggest he wasnt backed. Mourinho to Poch moan. Conte moans. Ange has never spoken or even hinted he wasnt happy with signings or players were signed against his will.
Lets not make up facts, without a ounce of evidence.
Anyone else feel like they’re watching the same movie over and over again expecting a different ending?
