Eventually agreed with him being sacked last season, but he’s so far ahead of this twat we have now, it’s not even funny.

Good job his other ex club, Forest, are scorching their way to the bottom of the table, or we’d be in major trouble right now.

Sacking him hasn’t really worked out for either team.

Was never the right time, one of the worst decisions we've made was sacking him in that moment.

I honestly feel like the club couldn't afford anymore bad juju but went ahead and done it anyway.

The turmoil it has caused for the supporters and the team who were loyal to him has also been such a burden. Only way I see to undo this is to give him a shot at redemption if he'd come back until the end of the season and then review it then.

More likely the board sacked him than Levy sacked him. So don't think the board will bring him back at all now that Levy's gone.

He had to be replaced with a similar forward thinking coach with similar attacking setups.

Not just a 180 hiring a relegation battler defensive long throw coach who has never won a thing

It's difficult but the reports mostly did say it was split, with Levy making the decision.

Clever marketing of the whole situation and some funny memes and I could see a way in which he could be brought back with a lot of positivity. Especially if it was only on a 4/5 months interim.

He might actually do it considering how the Forest stint went for him. Would be lower risk considering the foreign managers with no PL experience being banded about, factoring in our position.

Bring a good feel factor back, give hope for champions league, but most importantly... Get the team back on board and playing better football. Wouldn't be surprised if the players call for him once Frank has gone.

Have the board got the balls for it though? Highly unlikely but still think there is a chance. Makes the absolute most sense, which is probably why it won't happen.

So, giving it full hindsight, I was right to support him until the cup win and wrong to want him sacked at the end because of the league form. That position was not something we’d ever want to see, but considering the mess his replacement is making of things, with a stronger squad, I can only assume the first season 5th wasn’t the anomaly, the 17th place was.

Saying that, I understood and supported the decision at the time.

If we’d kept him, we’d be still in with a very good chance of top four this season. And in a strong position to maybe replace him with the next level up in the summer.

As for those claiming his time at Celtic was easy as everyone wins with Celtic, how many managers are they now on this season? Not as easy as some think. And Forest? Six training sessions and eight matches for a team in plummeting form, that has continued that downward spiral, hardly missing a beat, is hardly a stick to beat him with.

I don’t think he’d ever have been the long term answer for us, but I do think his sacking was a mistake, again in hindsight. But I’m not convinced getting him back helps.

A lot of Forest fans are now saying it was a mistake to sack him so soon.

I honestly believe so many aren't aware of the effect the media has on swaying emotions. For some reason they absolutely go after Ange, which is for me the biggest issue with his management. They're just so blood thirsty for him - maybe because he enjoys to mug them off?

Albeit I do think you'd be able to overcome that factor if the fans just backed him to the tilt.

Of course it was a mistake at Forest. Postecoglu is an annoying cunt to journos, but a Dyche is some kind of deity. A choice that was always going to be celebrated in the press and in here too. Because, coughing, looking down, Aussie cunt, etc.

Dyche won his first match, cue much celebrating in TFCland. Been a bit quieter recently as everyone has realised they are a clusterfuck that had a very lucky season and have since fucked their managerial appointments and sackings.

I’m delighted they sacked him, because Dyche is motoring them to the bottom of the table and Postecoglu wouldn’t have. Might be the one thing that saves us. And also, if Dyche wasn’t Forest’s third manager of the season, he’d be gone by now. No doubt.
 
Ange was a bit pony to put it mildly , however he was clearly better than Frank . Imagine where we would be if VDV and Romero were injured and not scoring goals to save Franks ass . At least Ange was not relying on two centre halves to score the goals . Yes I know defensively not all that but Ange had even worse filling in for them .

Ange and Frank Shit and Shitter respectively imho

Of our top 5 scorers last season, we sold Son & Johnson, Kulu&Madders have been out all season and Solanke has managed 1 full 90. Hardly surprising. Our attack need serious investment.

Yeah it was nice for awhile, think bissouma playing like he did at Brighton for a bit helped, he has such talent imo.
That fell away when his sent off, and wasn't quite the same again

Goodness me, how much do we miss Sonny and Madders?

Sonny - it was the right time to sell him but we replaced him with pure shit.

Ange - had to go as he can’t cut it in the Prem, replaced him with a manager that is even worse.

That’s the story of the Tottenham Frange era. The people running the club haven’t a clue - Ange and Frank could not be more different in their approaches to the game
