No, he WOULDN’T have taken them down.
He was only there for about half an hour. Probably didn’t even get told where the kettle was in that time. If you have or had been sacked after a month in a job, and hadn’t dipped the till, shagged the boss’s wife, etc, would you consider it your fault? Or would you quite rightly think the boss was a cunt?
It’s the fact he left without ever winning a game , it’s alright for him to tell us how he wanted to sign Seyemeno and Ghuei but I would have liked to have heard from him why it went so wrong in the league with them.
30 odd days? 8 games? 6 training sessions? Pretty sure there was significant improvement in the underlying metrics, but strikers that couldn’t hit a cows arse?
You’re not really in the gang of idiots that think this was in any way, anything other than Maranakis being a fucking prick?
Come on, you’re not that guy.
Maybe the players relayed to the owners that he was inept, and had no business managing a Premier League team.
Contrary to your point, a month is usually enough time to realise you've made a massive mistake.
Every corner was like a penalty. It was beautiful to watch, when it's not us he's managing.
Maybe they did. Maybe the owner is a twat. Maybe Ange dipped the till, or shagged Maranakis’ wife. None of us know.
But, if you can tell if someone, who is showing metric improvement in their role and doesn’t seem to have done anything gross-miscounducty, isn’t the guy for the job in a month, you are a much quicker judge of character than I am. Many of the better long term hires I’ve made in my career haven’t handed me the moon on a stick in the first six months, let alone one, and I’d have made huge errors in getting rid of them early.
Forest made that error too.
Yeah can’t see I watched much of them while he was manager , Just would have been nice to hear from him why it went so wrong there or maybe he knows if he bad mouths the gangster chariman he will probably get a hit called on him!
Wouldn’t surprise me!
I think there’s another part coming out, so may be discussed then. I honestly doubt they’ll bother. What can he tell us? Hardly any training with a failing and underperforming squad of players, who showed underlying improvement in a short period, but not enough to please a lunatic.
I’m quite surprised that people go on about this Forest thing to cast shadow on Postecoglu, when they could just point out the fact he finished 17th with us. A crime of much greater magnitude and one that is almost indefensible. Giving him shit for Forest? Just seems weird to me. It’s like slagging off a girlfriend who cheated on you, but you just complain that she never hung her towel up properly in the bathroom.
Can’t say marinakas hasn’t put his money where his mouth is
You’re not this simple. Be better.
I'm going to play devils advocate here. We averaged like 1.1ppg from mid Feb to mid November under Poch. Almost a whole season worth of games and we got like 40ish points.
Yet he, is for some reason absolutely revered here. Jose got the same squad into the CL averaging 1. 52 points when he took over.
I bet you want him here. So then obviously you would agree that variable's can affect manager performance?
I think the Forest thing is used as an insight as to what ‘Season 3’ of Ange would likely have had in store for us, when some fans say he deserved to be kept on,
It’s also a pretty good indicator that it wasn’t just our club that was the problem.
That’s just bollocks bud. How he got on at Forest and what season three would have looked like have absolutely nothing to do with one another. I’ll have to say this again in this thread - be better.
Oh course it’s not conclusive, but it’s not a great look either considering how organised Forest looked under Nuno.
Ange comes in and it goes to shit.
While it's true that Postecoglou's results in the league were poor, with both us and Forest, neither team has exactly gone from strength to strength since sacking him either, have they?
In fact you could easily argue that both have actually gotten worse since he left - I certainly think Spurs have.
Perhaps Ange wasn't the problem at either club in the first place?
Forest had a very lucky season. Then spent a fortune. And were a shambles, which is why Ange ended up there in the first place.
Of course he wasn’t the only problem, but his daft unbalanced tactics and refusal to address the goals conceded from set plays were a huge contributing factor.
Ange ended up there because Nuno very publicly torched his relationship with Maranakis.
