That's hope talking mate.

If we had done the right and for many, obvious thing at the end of December, since when things have worsened, we wouldn't be in this mess.

1 team out of 5 or 6 still possible, and we are one of that number, in my opinion.
I just think it’s so difficult for Forest now - how many new manager bounces can you have in a season?

Do you know what you are doing as a player when your in manager 4?

Where it does help them is with the crowd, as they couldn’t stand Dyche and wanted him out. So if they take to the new manager then the crowd might get them over the line in home games
 
4 managers in a season - the players aren’t going to know what they are supposed to be doing. Why are they going to be inspired by this guy when they weren’t by the 3 before him.

As for bounces - they got a shit bounce when Ange was appointed, losing virtually every game.

It’s great for us, I’m just annoyed it keeps West Ham up.
I hope you're right. They've got quite a bit of talent in that squad, more of it, and more depth than we have available for most of the remainder of the season. Especially in midfield.
 
We have to hope Frank goes to Forest. As Ange did before.
Anything we can transfer to our relegation rivals has to be a good thing.
It was a masterstroke selling Johnson to Palace - they haven't moved forward since.


As another bit of luck was Forest not accepting, £60m for Gibbs White
He is currently worth 5 quid.
 
Overlap will get the coverage for Ange but they actually have a really good chat about us potentially going down. Wrighty saying how Vinai coming doesn’t help Frank. Seems he can’t believe we bought a gooner in like most of us. Carragher saying we just don’t pay the wages, which we all know.

They just ask, what is wrong with this football club?

Keane: you are shaking hands with the devil.

Ange actually gave a pretty good overview of it without sounding too bitter.

There's a lack of decisiveness and drive from the very top so whoever is in charge of the football aspects is always essentially trying to drag the rest along with them. Lots of talk about ambition and wanting to win but a hesitance to pull the trigger on moves that can be considered ballsy. And then that mentality sets and trickles downwards.

The drive to win locked in an eternal battle with the fear of fucking up more or less.

Yeah I’m watching it now and TBF to Ange he’s being pretty balanced and giving some insight into what we’ve all suspected.

Just got to the Ange bit now and as I have said in his thread, he comes across exactly how you would expect. A really good overlap concentrating mainly on us. Both bits with relevance to each other. Yet another manager who leaves where you can tell they still feel they have unfinished business. Ultimately, we all know why

Id have so much more respect for Ange Postecoglou if...he hadn't spent 50 million on Johnson and appointed Sergio Raimondo and Mile Jedinak as his first team coaches. Don't care how well you speak ,the fundamental footballing literacy of these calls makes it impossible to take him seriously.

Its easy to rattle off names of signings etc - but Im not even sure they made sense

Semenyo - sitting on the bench while Sonny played
Neto - plays the same position as back post Brennan, someone ANge clearly loved
Guehi - over VDV? Really?

Yes, 100%, would have been VERY nice depth to have, but in that context ( :ange-lips: ) would we even have a chance of getting them? Let alone the idea of dumping £70m on Semenyo to sit on the bench....

Im sure much of what he says rings true, but like a lot of TV shows these days - the more you think about it the less it makes sense...

He has always displayed a shocking lack of awareness. Good at the bluster, good at the orating, but actually under all that very limited and never self reflective.
 
Apart from the occasional and infrequent good phases of football it's been pretty shit since it went pear shaped and Conte had his rant and went.

I know Vicario has his faults, and probably needs moving along now but in the first Postecoglou season he made some astounding saves, if not for that I think we'd have been in the bottom half at the end of that season. Even during those first 10 matches, there were plenty of times the opposition had passed straight through us and the phases ended with Vicario making amazing saves that I watched through the spaces between my fingers because I could hardly look..

Funny when they were asking for the top 5 prem lge free kick scorers. Looking for the last one when Roy said….Harry Kane!!!
Roy still thinks they should have given Frank more time . More time to relegate us.
 
The thing is : it's not particularly smart on his part. - it's another reason for an owner not to give him a job.
It's a classic job interview error : to slag off your previous bosses..
And Ange doesn't have the pedigree of v Mourinho or Conte to get away with it.
oh look it's ange acting like he's billy big balls when he's won fuck all and knows fuck all about football. don't know how anyone can sit through more of his bullshit after we endured two and half years of this idiot.
