Postecoglou overachieved with the talent of the squad at his disposal. This is what the facts say; what the history books will show, and, most importantly, what our Trophy Cabinet will hold forever.
You can demean or diminish that Trophy as much as you like but it's pointless. It serves only to make you feel better about something that brings you pain when it should bring you joy. You care more about shit fights on forums than trophies in cabinets. It's a shame for you but it's part of the wider pathology I warned you about last year and is now coming true as Frank struggles to deal with a meh squad and injuries in key areas.
The difference is - as always - that I will support Frank based on facts and data and context until it's no longer right to support him (again, based on those metrics). All the things that the usual motley collection of sacky sacks have chucked out at the first sign of trouble.
And yes the Club had every right to sack Postecoglou. A decision I agreed with. But I also acknowledge ghe overperformed with the squad available. Which is why I know the mountain Frank has to climb and how big a task he has ahead of him.
Its a curse always being right. I am a latter day Cassandra. But I'll struggle on. You see I took genuine joy from the wonderful night in Bilboa. It gets me through nights like last night. That's how its supposed to work.
It makes sense when you see how innocuous the movement was that caused the full tear.
