    It’s mainly Ange and the ethos he has. Finally after 5ish years we have a manager that doesn’t have or expect more than the ownership is prepared to give in terms or resources and control. In some ways I do think Kane leaving has played into it though. A world class player for sure, but he outgrew the club and the signings of Conte and Jose were done to appease him. Kane was the focal point for everything we did for so long and I think that led to complacency and negativity within the squad. With Kane going expectations were so low; some pundits saying we could be relegation contenders or bottom half so that inspired the team to fight and prove people wrong. Ange also give players freedom and creativity to be themselves which is the total opposite of the past 2/3 managers
