Judging by the fact this thread hasn’t grown by about 20 pages today, I assume this part isn’t remotely controversial?

Ange’s difficult, yet uninspiring second album?

There wasn't anything "controversial" about the first interview either.

Unless you're a massive deranger hypocrite who claims to hate "Enic" yet when the manager points out they don't back up their Top 4 rhetoric with Top 4 wages you clutch your pearls and have a massive hissy fit :roflmao:
 
The bloke is a used car salesman , spouts a lot of self serving bs . There maybe some truth in bits he’s said but you can’t really take him seriously
 
I don’t know he was quite upfront about Forest.
What did he say ?

I’ve not watch either bits to be honest , just seen bits of them . He’s gone & that’s it really , won us a cup & made a tidy sum for himself , cheers for the cup but the football was horrific

Most people know ENIC are scammers but he didn’t seem to lay any blame at all ( on the bits I’ve seen ) on himself which is laughable .
 
Just read his latest quotes about the Europa League run. He is so full of shit it's unbelievable really. If anyone really believes that load of bollocks you are very gullible.

The bit where he explained that he changed the style of play in Europe because we wanted to win, but didn't change it in the league because 'we wanted to play a different way and that wasn't acceptable" is the biggest bullshit ever. Hahahaha.

So he's saying that he discovered a winning formula in Europe, and decided to do that, but in the league we carried on losing every week playing his open system, and he decided just to keep losing and ultimately get sacked, instead of changing the style of play, winning some games and giving him a better chance of a third season..any manager with any sense would have then mimicked the European set up to try and translate that to league wins. The reason he didn't do that it because it was all obviously bullshit, wasn't part of his plan, and it was exactly as some of us and (the players) said it was. They knew he was clueless tactically and decided to throw his tactics in the bin and play backs to the wall to try and win a trophy. In the PL they went back to listening to his plan and we kept losing.

It's all so obviously lies. He's just using the benefit of hindsight to spin the story to suit him. He's a bullshit artist, I said it when he was manager and he still is now.

He also basically little bro's VDV by saying he made it out like it was their idea to change the style of Europe, so that they would take it on board easier, but really it was his plan all along.

Fucking hell. SO glad he's not manager anymore and we won't have to listen to his self serving bullshit every week.

No accountability for him, no mention of his tactics being found it after a few months and him not changing it at all. He's such a prick.
 
I see the Ange Postecoglou publicity tour is still in full swing. Desperately trying to rewrite history to generate enough credibility to get a top job again.

Spot on. It's like asking an ex employee why they got sacked and what went wrong in their old job. You know it's going to be a load of self serving bullshit, wasn't my fault guv.

If it's Ange's word against VDV who specifically said Ange had no plan B, and they decided to play their own way in Europe, I know who I am believing. It marries up with exactly what I saw, said it at the time, it makes complete sense. Ange is full of shit.
 
Interesting hearing him justifying the defensive switch in Europa and trying to take ownership of it. Having heard a lot of Ange speak, I've never seen him so shifty when talking about his tactics - he's usually so bullish. Felt like a very wishy-washy tale to me and think he's not telling the whole story, or even half of it. I don't think there was some full-on coup from the players as some on here seem to think, but I get a strong sense something went on and it wasn't wholly his idea. The whole "I did a deep dive on previous winners" felt like absolute bollocks to me.

That said, I've slagged him off on here a fair bit but I do enjoy listening to Ange. Really wish it had worked out.


I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that. This was a man who sat there in press conferences for two seasons, saying he would never change his way of playing ever, and is now , months later, saying he did a deep dive on pragmatic tactician managers as a way to change his style and win in Europe. :rofl:

Lol. You have VdV's quotes and now you have Ange's quotes and you STILL wish to believe in your own hypothesis.
:djedstare:

Ange's version contradicts VDV and he basically says it was all his idea. Do you know how rare it is for a PL player, especially a current one, to come out and say what VDV said? He basically said the previous manager had no plan B and the players took it upon themselves to win the trophy. Damn sure I believe VDV. Ange is the one who is looking for his next job so is going to lie about it to make himself look like the architect. Why would VDV lie about it?

This is generally a Low IQ take, have you heard yourself, it's mad embarrassing dude.
 
Steve Hodge, one of our former players....

Nuno [Espirito Santo] going when they knew he was going, Ange [Postecoglou] changing the system completely and making everything unstable and then bringing Sean Dyche in, with whatever happened there, who knows?
