He should do what Kieran McKenna did... Learn your trade in lower leagues, and now he's on the brink of becoming a PL manager... and possibly the type of young, up and coming coach for US to consider one day...

Absolutely. The longer he stays the more he's risking his chance to be that too and the further ahead of him guys like McKenna get.
Just feels off.
Can we please have a set-piece coach back ffs.
I hope Ange isn’t so dogmatic and set in his ways that he can’t see that we are very very poor on set pieces and concede way too often because of stupid mistakes or lack of awareness.
What is troubling to me is that opponents have been pushing Vic around during corner kicks now for many games in a row and there seems to be zero reaction or adjustments.
Tbh i think mason is there as eyes and ears of coach and players so can report to levy anything. Hes a permanent caretake manager for us unless he wants to try somewhere else.
Just looking at their transfer activity in the last 2 seasons. Either he, or their scouts must be masterminds as there's nothing OTT in there.
How many teams have gone from league 1 to the PL in successive seasons?
Definitely one to watch out for IMO. If they come up and settle he has to be of interest to a lot of clubs.
Obviously if they get battered every week then maybe not.
That’s a bit paranoid but same time Levy is a control freak so he’d love to have an inside man in the coaching staff.
I just think it’s better for Ryan and Ange if he pursues his chances in the real world
Pro's and con's.
He is only 32 which for a manager is nothing. He is learning his trade in a club that churns through managers at a fast pace so has a lot to work with.
A more cynical person than me would think he knows he just has to chill out in the shadows until the current bloke is sacked and he is in the top job albeit for a short while.

Maybe Kane will get him in as a Bayern coach
Ryan Mason as a coach is a bit like when you see some washed up runners-up for Britain's got talent performing at Butlins.
Tragic.
Tragic.
By what metric is he qualified to coach us? No way he takes credit for our great start. But what IS he responsible for? I just don't get it.
this is down to levy because hes been here through a few managers now hasnt he. absolutely stinks! he has absolutely no right to have such an important role at this club, hes not earned it. been given it out of fucking sympathy. well never do fuck all if this is how the club operates.
if he was an ex player who was world class and won bundles youd get it....if it was luka modric youd understand it.....hes ryan mason. fucking sympathy handout.
Most great players make shit coaches though, this has been proven out time and again. The 2 are different skill sets.
I've said often that Mason needs to switch clubs to earn his stripes if he wants to actually become a top manager. But not having been a great player means fuck all regarding his ability as a coach.
I'm not at all understanding where this campaign against him is coming from, honestly, as if he's to blame for yesterday. Other than everyone is just angry and lashing out.
Not a campaign against him, it’s about changing the culture and Groundhog Day cycle. Also for his own sake. Go out and earn your Spurs Ryan
Correct me if i'm wrong but Gianni Vio did not work on defensive set pieces.
If you just imagine you are reading the words of a bunch of nutters with various personal and mental health issues everything makes perfect sense.
And I’d imagine the hangovers and comedowns will last till Wednesday this week.
And while the ignore thread option is a great button when a thread gets traction it still appears which is a bit annoying tbh.
the point is, youd get it it was a big ex player as they at the very least demand respect. mason doesnt, he hasnt earned the right to have an important role in any way shape or form.
According to Gold, Christian Stellani was our defensive set piece coach the previous 2 years, and also he and Conte changed from man marking to Zonal during their time here. And there was nothing too poor about our defending of corners under Conte.
which is exactly the same as what's happening now, no defensive set piece coach, just someone of the coaching team handles it as well as their other coaching.
also Ryan Mason is nothing to do with defensive set pieces. Also of interest i thought is that Villa are statistically worse at set pieces than us this season .
But there you go anyway, Stellani is still out of a job so we can get him back if you like
He's probably nothing more than a sap who relays information from the dressing room to the boardroom. Levy's 'fly on the wall', so to speak.
Sherwood had a similar role at the club for a few years
