Ange played pragmatically in the EL and we did have some decent performances like Frankfurt so happy to give him credit for that but 17th in the league even with injuries is awful. He owns that as well.

It’s like Levy, you can respect the really good things he did with the infrastructure while also criticising his micro management and lack of football vision.

I am glad we had Ange and glad we had Levy for the stadium but I am also thankful they are now both gone.

Start it at 36:03 for the Ange stuff, Wolfie’s having a tough time 😂

Wolfie was banging on in another YT panel about how Ange finished 5th with us in his first season.

But this is no longer Anges first season in the PL and for me that’s the crucial point. We know that teams sussed his playing style out so unless he’s changed or really ends up perfecting “Ange ball”, it’s simply going to be a continuation of finishing last season in 17th and being extremely lucky in, not getting us relegated and winning the EL…
 
I can't speak for everyone, but for me, it's a direct reaction to being told for 2 years by his fanbois how great he is.
Especially the Aussie nomads who don't support teams, they support him.
They're no doubt currently infesting Forest forums and shouting at Forest fans about how great he is.

When you consider the profile of the likes of Mourinho and Conte, 2 coaches who have won the biggest prizes at the highest level, even they didn't have such a mental, irrational following.
I have never seen anything quite like it and I hope I never do again.

I think Mourinho definitely had some of those as well - but I get what you mean.

I guess, for me, thats on them - more than him, if you see what I mean?

I can see the schadenfreude in seeing him fail there if these people are your target.

I guess it just seems, to me at least, a bit much the levels of glee at how he's doing?

And I say that as someone who agrees with 90% of the criticism of him, certainly no fan boy.

And my view on him as a character definitely soured

Were you on the forum when Jose was our manager. A giant bundle of new accounts came on here talking Jose up and putting Spurs down. Never seen anything like it, first time I proper used the blocking function. They where worse than the style of football. When we sacked him the accounts all fucked off, United fans moaned about as well. They called them Mourinhoistas.
 
Not an Ange fan but come on mate... this is a terrible take. Even if you just say, he took one for the team by sacrificing the league to keep the players fresh for Europa. That was on him... I simply cannot accept the view that he played no part in that cup win.
On here, he’s fully to blame for everything that went wrong, but gets no credit for what went well. Same as Levy.

It’s weird behaviour.
 
Mourinho is a cunt and gets less. Conte was a cunt but gets less. I actually don’t hate any of them. The pressure got to Ange and never dealt with it right but I don’t hate the guy in any way. Each to their own mate. 😜
This is true. Mourinho and Conte were much more negative about Spurs in their times and achieved very little. But their arrogance was at least earned at the highest level.

I think it's the combination of Ange's stubbornness, his nasty streak and his hubris that's misplaced at the top level that winds a lot of us up.

I certainly have felt some enjoyment watching his Forest struggles (early days tbf) , which I wasn't expecting to feel.

I guess you don't get a new manager bounce when the old manager was doing a great job.

Yep they were complete nutters. Like those Ronaldo fans who hate Messi, but fiercely lusting after a middle aged manager. So so weird.
 
LOL at people still holding a grudge against this guy. How any of you would deal with real trauma is beyond me.

I suggest getting some emo music on about how much daddy has been mean to you, have a good cry wank and let it all out.
 
I don’t get why we have so many that hate Ange. I’m glad he’s away because the league last season was a shit show but he was our manager when we had our best night of supporting this club for most of us.

I actually hope he does well because I’ll always have a soft spot for him because of the Europa last year.

I see an awful lot less hatred for all our previous managers that won fuck all.
Because he's a horrible dishonest charlatan followed by clueless halfwits who will scream their devotion to the tin God into the wind in defiance of all logic. They were unbearable and the Aussie nationalist ones hell bent on convincing Spurs fans that didn't start watching soccer on Tuesday like them that statistics from his time at American Samoa were proof we were all mad was fucking priceless. I'm delighted they can take his bulkshit to Forrest. That he won us a trophy I've seen us win before did not mitigate the horror of his year zero reign.
 


I got PTSD from watching that. You could literally copy and paste that from any one of our losses last two years. This is a guy who almost got us knocked out by Tamworth.

Absolute fraud of the highest order.

So glad we somehow fluked the Cup and I tell you, it was in spite of him. The players completely abandoned his system and principles to get us over the line when we got to the Semi's of the competition.

If it wasn't for the players and that cup, he would rightly be considered the absolute worst manager we've ever had. For me he still is.

For a brand new manager, to come in to a club and lose a cup game away to Swansea in that fashion is awful.

Remember Forest are supposed to be a top 8 side too. They narrowly missed out on CL last season.

I fancy Burnley to do them this weekend.

LOL at people who still can't handle increasingly valid criticism of their messiah. How any of them deal with real conflict is beyond me.

I suggest popping on some emo music about people being mean to your daddy, relieve yourself into your battered Ange-Light, and let it all out.
 
Somebody needs to do a “Hitler finds out that Ange Postecoglou is the new Forest manager” sketch

Hitler: Thank fuck we got rid of that cunt Nuno because although he got us our highest finish in 25+ years and into Europe, he just wasn’t good enough for ze mighty Forest. That said at least he was better than that kangaroo noshing Aussie at Spurs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Ya Ya Ya

Himler: Mein fuhrer…..

Because he's a charlatan cunt who despised us.

im flattered you would take my words and do that but let's be honest, this isn't about valid criticism.... conspiracy theories about players abandoning tactics in Europa etc - calling him a cunt - it's about precious little babies who don't know how to process their feelings

I'm sorry you had to deal with us losing some games. I hope you recover soon.
