Yeah that's a good post, especially normalising frequent league defeats, that absolutely fucking stings me.But the point he isn't successful, and what's coming out of his miserable mouth is a major pointer as to why he isn't.
The truculence with the media and our own fans reveals a thin skin unlike anything I can remember in this league - certainly from a THFC manager and I'd have to be reminded of others from other teams. You can imagine Roy Keane being like that and also Di Canio - and where did their managerial careers go when they were exposed at the top level?
His way of handling pressure is to be combative but with the mask of not caring about criticsm. It's just fucking bollox, nobody is falling for it anymore, and more importantly, it's surely not how a successful person who has to inspire others behaves.
Then there's his public analysis of our games. Saying we controlled a game against Wolves where we conceded 4 goals and we were outstanding against Forest when they should have 3-0 up is just risible nonsense and fucking thick. Wolves hadn't scored more than 2 goals at home before we played them and our football when Forest just sat back with their lead was ok at times - but it was never remotely outstanding or resembling anything like how we played at times last season.
Something has turned him into a blithering fucking idiot - presumably the pressure - which he says he doesn't feel - when he's clearly losing his rag....
Fluking a European trophy would be epic but it will not make Ange successful. The league is your bread and butter barometer of how good you are. Go and watch that Brian Clough interview with John Motson. The 1st question was which out the 4 competitions is the most important, and Clough's answer told you everything.
Ange has made losing in the league normal. It's completely farcical. He has to go. He surely doesn't want to be here anyway and the feeling is mutual. Win in Bilbao hopefully and part ways on a high.
Fuck the EL get the bread and butter sorted first
