Despite all of the results the players seem to still be on board with the Ange project, including Kulusevski this week. This seems meaningful, unlike the "vote of confidence" from management. Does this put even more pressure on Levy and management, since firing Ange now would look even worse?

Have there not been any transfers because the team doesn't want to put more money into the Ange project? Won't Levy look even worse if he doesn't get any players and then fires another manager? Or does the manager situation not play in either way?

Last year the excuse for the poor results was that Ange's first season was all about instilling his system and figuring out which players fit his style. Obviously this year has been much worse. What do we tell ourselves now? Is there a larger point to this season that can make us all feel better?
