FYI He's just been given the tin tack

I just had the time to look at the details of his sacking.

A few things have surprised me.

1/ I thought he must have failed to take Sunderland up in the play offs.
Even though I was pretty sure they had won. Maybe I dreamt it.
2/ turns out they did win the play offs. I was right.
3/. Also turns out Michael carrick was not the manager of Sunderland anyway!!

You learn something new every day.

completely different to United - like completely different _

Different club, different energy, different vibes from players towards the manager

unhelpful analogy

There are two big differences with the Ten Hag thing:

1. Ratcliffe didn't hire ETH and very publicly walked in with a remit for dramatic change, he was never going to retain the incumbent manager (or incumbent anything) for any length of time. Whereas Levy hired Ange and stuck with him through the struggles of this season.

2. United very publicly were recruiting other managers and only came crawling back to ETH after they failed. That isn't true at Spurs....yet

3) He's bald.

Must be a takeover on the horizon if Ange is staying. Its the only plausible, realistic explanation.
The new guys insisting they want the opportunity to appoint their own man themselves.

How ironic.

You whined about the personal attacks, then make a personal attack on someone who gave you absolutely no reason to, other than not sharing your view.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

you got me. i called him a twat. i should be burned at the stake. but as long as i'm going to burn let say you're a twat too bro!

Watching Harry's nervous breakdown play out live in the Ange Thread on TFC has been simultaneously fascinating and horrifying. Kinda like passing a car accident on the motorway - don't want to gawp but just can't help yourself

maybe or levy is again just blowing in the wind and bowing to pr pressure or scared to be criticized for firing someone who won a trophy. i'm guessing it's the latter if he stays.

Also, their recruitment was even worse than ours and our victory has seemingly brought the club together.

Ange when it comes to trophies

Jose, Conte, Poch, Nuno, Redknapp, AVB, Santini, Francis, Mason, Stellini, Sherwood, Jol when it comes to trophies

Nope, Conte just won the Serie, Poch won cups and Ligue, Nuno got Forest in pretty good shape.

Others, I agree.

There's been more than a few of those.

When you really think about it, there have been far more "bad" finals than good ones, which is why the likes of the 1970 Brazil Italy final still stands out, or our 1981 FA Cup replay (the original final was absolutely terrible).

You could probably count on the fingers of one hand the finals that had you absolutely glued to your screen as a neutral.

Saying ours against Utd was the worst is rhetoric, it was no worse or better than many that went before, or are likely to follow.

we're going to be 1970 brazil next season! i'm in!

are you suggesting they should've crawled back?

Ok?
Frank has helped coach average players into good players. As a head coach who always speaks with insight (imo) and tactically about the game I, as you have rightly pointed out, can only assume he has had input into player development as a result. I believe this is a fair assumption as Brentford seem to improve season upon season, but you might be right and it has nothing to do with Frank?? Fair enough!

On paper we have a better squad than Brentford! Again this is my opinion. Would need to take a poll to see if the majority agree or disagree like yourself I suppose.

Frank seems to be student of the game! I have watched and listened to a number of his post/pre press conferences and a number of interviews and he has always impressed me, but again your right, this is just my opinion/assumption and I can't counter your argument by telling you I know this for sure because I'm not at Brentford's training ground every day standing alongside Frank.

I agree with what you suggest, that at Brentford just to maintain Prem status is considered a success, but I believe with a better squad of players, or not is your argument, that the "industrial" football that Brentford churn out (in your opinion) would become far more entertaining at The Lane.

Funny Old Game!

Indeed it is... if we all looked at one thing and saw the same thing, life would be so boring.

you somehow unaware that you are seen as the biggest clown on here is similarly fascinating. why don't you make a poll about finishing 17th and winning champions league? such a brilliant take that paints us all in a corner. you sir, are a master of the internets

2 can play this game I guess, Ange after losing Harry Kane, arguably our greatest striker in the PL era managed to get 5th in his first season and qualify for the EL, and went one better in his second season by winning the EL and qualifying for the CL , so next season that means we are winning the CL!

I see you're a man who follows trends

I will if you start capitalising the first letter after a full stop

Phomesy · Wednesday at 5:35 PM

Can someone inform me as to why there's a sudden shift to thinking Ange is staying? Surely it's not just some Ally Gold fluff?
