Manager Ange Postecoglou

[Matt1882]

I mean, I truly appreciate you recounting all of that. It just doesn't really sound that bad to me. As a manager myself I would not expect anyone I manage to not have private thoughts and speculations on their own personal ambitions. I feel like that would be unreasonable.

5 minute convo after a match we won? I guess I would consider that far less harmless than our boob of an ex-head of transfers who said he didn't like doing business in the winter window, or our medical staff, Levy or ENIC generally. But, that's just my take on it...

Apparently though there was a lot more going in. He wasn't on time for training and basically stopped making an effort.
Heard that quite a few times.
After we beat Newcastle 5-0 and the fans were singing his name (the game came around the time he was cleared of tax evasion) we won 1 of our next 10 games. We went from top 2 or 3 to just about keeping 4th and 4th then being denied a CL place.

I am more than a fan

I am part of you

I might even be you shady

I thought his contacts were mainly agents that he went on fishing trips with. I’m not sure that he has any direct source at the club.

He hires out pedalos at a lake in Essex.

And he wears a bumbag.

That is the one time in my life I will choose to believe Trix’s ‘ITK’.

 

[Go on son]

Saw this post from Trix on SC just now

As for the coaches something I've heard and posted bts is that they aren't overly happy with things. They are basically told what they have to achieve, ie, this is what the end result must be, and then Ange walks off and they are left to get on with it. They believe they've had to abandon the fundamentals to a large degree, and are very uncertain how to get to the point Ange wants because he's not telling them how to.

Jesus fucking christ. I mean, I knew Ange was hands off, but this just shows what a clueless fraud we actually have. And it mirrors exactly what we are seeing on the pitch. No wonder we look such a mess and lose games left right and centre.

Its hearsay though

 

[Matt1882]

This has really wound me up. Because of all the managers to get behind, it is the one with no success in a major league, who is clearly completely out of his depth in the PL, and has some many very obvious flaws as a manager. It just defies belief. It justs hows how much Levy is completely and utterly clueless about football. You couldn't make it up. Of all the managers to actually show patience with, Levy decides to do it with this old bluffer.

Unbelieveable.

We really are fucked as a club. Run by absolute clowns.

Still, as the article says, if he doesn't win on Sunday, it's close to curtains if it isn't already.

I'm genuinely concerned now that the sacking responsibility is Munn and Levy is just leaving it to him.
And that Munn is just a patriotic Aussie who can't see Ange is as much a fake football coach as Ray gun is a fake brakedancer

Mate it's Trix of SC, he gets clowned in this place for making up BS and being wise after the event...since when did we start believing him?

Classic confirmation bias.

Click to shrink...

Yup - he has no clue lol - calls things wrong all the time, posts opinions dressed up as facts - and constantly throws tantrums and gets people banned for daring to question him.

 

[dudu]

Nah. I don't care if he's clowned on here, who isn't? Trix is reliable, he's got info for years and isn't a bullshit merchant and trust me I don't like the guy. Ironically, his info about Spurs has always been more reliable than when he used to post transfer news.

I mean he definitely has a connection at Spurs so....

Classic confirmation bias because it goes against what you want to believe?

That's not what confirmation bias is lol

"a preference for information that is consistent with a hypothesis rather than information which opposes it."

Cant see that. If Lange or Paratici go to him or Levy and say we have to make a change then they will. I still think its investment or successor already lined up for the summer that is delaying the inevitable.

When you start believing Trix you know you need to call it a day on the internet ffs lol

I questioned one of his made up stories and he went crying to his daddy A&C and threatened to stop posting info, A&C then banned me from the transfer gossip section just because I dared to speak out against him, some dictatorship over there man.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

The ITK way is to make up a load of plausible shit - throwing darts at a board really - and just take credit for the ones that pan out.

When you don't get anything right, you blame the difficulties of transfers and claim that the deal fell apart last minute, and when it's a transfer out of nowhere that wasn't predicted, you claim to have had inside information but it was so sensitive that it would have jeopardized the negotiations or your "source", so you didn't run with it.

You naughty boy.

That prick swanned around the forum in every thread adding like his opinion was right about everything and people still dared to call him out.

Was nonsense.

Oh dudu, you misread what I wrote. I know what confirmation bias is. Shady is saying that it is confirmation bias, that I am choosing to believe something because it suits my pre-held beliefs. I was merely responding that he is only saying that, because he doesn't believe it, so in his view, anyone who does believe it, it must be confirmation bias.

Basically, it's tosh.

 

[dudu]

Was Eddie Howe to blame when Newcastle had 15 senior pro's out for most of last season?

Injuries happen.

It's just lazy to attribute injuries to Angeball. We have a medical team that tell Ange the condition of the players. There is zero proof that Ange has played a player against the advice of the medical team or the wishes of the player.

Not to mention that our players who do the most sprints are fine.

Data is everywhere - Romero hardly every sprints and VDV this season hardly did any either.

I do agree with you there. He came across as a proper patronising prick, the way he would talk down to people, pretty much everyone on the forum, like he was lord of the manor. Nobody could say shit to him either because if you did, you'd get banned.

Fair enough, I'm inclined to agree though. Trix is not reliable at all.

Anyone can pretend to do ITK - what they do over there is a well-known scam to get people to pay money for the site. There is a reason, and a very very obvious one, why they only collect donations in the ITK thread and no one who questions ITK is allowed in there.

You cannot be that stupid?

Right? Even in the politics thread? He tried to school me on something I do for a living - was hilarious.

I didn't get banned for that though.... got banned cos I called A&C a cunt in a DM to someone else after he went off on them, and he fucking read my DM and banned me.

That's the kind of cunts that run that site - to be fair A&C would be right at home here except he is a big baby that can't handle being called names.

Look whether he makes it up or not, I don't know. If he has, he's kept up the blag for years.

I don't believe he makes it up, but everyone has their own opinions.

I do think the donation thing is dodgy though, and I think A&C is one of the biggest wankers on the internet.
