He's desperately trying to hold on to his job. Pulled out a ridiculous 'my funny accent' card- give me a break, if English wasn't his first language he'd be long gone.His irritation at questions in the press conference becomes more and more baffling the more you think about it. Because the truth is, he's been treated by the press, the fans and the club pretty delicately. In fact I can't think of another premier league manager, who only has to do the bare minimum or below to get their belly tickled like he does.
Whenever we get in any way embarrassed by a performance, the club are quick to put out that he is under "no pressure". Which is absurd that any manager can be under "no pressure" let alone after our form for the last 10 months.
We pull it back to 5-2 on Sunday and he gets his name sung.
Compare that to Lopetegui. Who only arrived in the summer at West Ham and had to try and put a new team together on the fly. He's been getting dogs abuse from the fans and the press and always feel like he's one loss away from the sack.... That'd be the Lopetegui whose team is now level on points with us.
Dragusin agent as well made out he was some kind of beckenbauer when he werent playing. Propaganda at its finest.Meh, Romero is 100% off in the summer ( we aren't playing european football next season) so I really don't see the point in planning for a back 3.
In no world is Dragusin worth forcing in to a team anyway. Guy is limited on the ball and not quick, the antithesis of what most elite sides want.
You are funny
Nagelsmann is a pipe dream under these owners as well mate.
None of those 3 you mentioned last longer than 18 months here. I hope for Iraolas sake he swerves the Levy conveyor belt
Wait....
The funny accent digs are aimed at Liew and he has every right to make them.He's desperately trying to hold on to his job. Pulled out a ridiculous 'my funny accent card'- give me a break, if English wasn't his first language he'd be long gone.
Now he keeps saying 'player X almost ready and trains but I can't risk any more injuries' to cover his VDV/Romero fuck up and act like it's not him running them down to the ground.
There's been red flags all along but now any fool can call him on his bullshit.
Brennan already has his invisibility cloak.
Eh?Lol, these kinds of comments are just completely idiotic mate.
No one fucking signs a contract to manage someone at this level without knowing what you're getting yourself into. If he signs, he gets paid a fuck tonne and he knows the situation.
I will never feel sorry for any of these millionaires for not getting a player they wanted or some other bullshit.

Post of the thread!
Not sure he gets a big job after us tbh.This is from a Scottish mate of mine back in 2023:
‘On a personal level his whole "mate, mate" thing got old quite quickly, and he revealed himself to be quite a chippy guy whenever scrutinised. He's a bit of a master at getting people to eat out of the palm of his hand though so it might fly under the radar a bit in future. I think even if he does a poor job at Spurs and gets sacked he'll probably go on and get the Barcelona job or something, because he's got a whole cult leader vibe in terms of his own persona and his "footballing vision". There's Ange Postecoglou the football manager, and then there's Big Ange the package, and Big Ange the package will get him big jobs.‘
It’s shocking how all of this came true.
Not sure why people think this sort of guesswork should be factored into our current reality.
Queen of the South. Thats quite a big name job for him.
Pep will be off soon....This is from a Scottish mate of mine back in 2023:
