Angelos „Ange“ Postecoglou

[Master Yates]

Is it possible that with Nuno joining West Ham so shortly after leaving here and potentially Imposternoclue joining Septic so soon after leaving, that we might have kept compensation down to relatively small amounts?

I guess we will find out eventually in the accounts when they get published in future.

Depends on what was in their contracts I imagine.

I do find it funny that some of us take issue with the manager telling the players last season didn't mean anything when:

We don't have any context to that whatsoever, and,
Our best manager ever said exactly the same thing to the leeds players when he took over there. The number of days they're in the job was even very close.

Anyway, I hope someone takes him on soon, to ease our financial burden.

Clough was just a dreadful fit for Leeds then as Postecoglu was for Forest in 2025

None of their fans wanted him, it was a completely different style of manager, the players weren't having him, results were terrible and he was given his marching orders pretty sharpish

The only difference being bad fit or not Clough was still a great manager

Ange is not

Not disagreeing with any of that, just thought it was a funny thing people are focusing on, whereas we love the fact that he told the leeds players to chuck their medals in the bin.

I always interpreted that comment more like "forget last season, you can't rest on your laurels, that was then, this is now" sort of context.

Clough said that because in his opinion they won them all by cheating.

Unless Impster-noclue said our season last year was due to cheating, it's not really a similar story.

As it was, he probably muttered about Spurs and himself for 40 minutes while staring at the floor.

He'll surely end up back at Celtic.

No he meant it how he said it completely that they were dirty diving cheating bastard clough didn't mince his words

 

[GregorRobertson]

Don't think anyone is pretending that Clough's stint at Leeds wasn't also a colossal f*** up though? Forest was his redemption arc, and even that took a few years to come to fruition. He was also a young man (not yet 40), while Postecolgu (60) should have been old enough and wise enough to know better. I also very much doubt his own redemption arc in English football will ever come.

 

[Cureboy]

Yeah he'll end up back at Celtic, where quite frankly me granny could secure a 70% plus win rate.

That is more likely what it was (if it even happened at all) but that firstly doesnt make for a good story and secondly doesnt suit the narrative of many who seem to think AP was on some sort of mission to destroy us.

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Still can't believe we gave him the international break.

I want to know WTF he worked on, because it made absolute 0 difference to our fortunes, and a Chelsea B-Team which ended up with 10 men were still able to come to our own turf and batter us 3-0.

It's pretty incredible how we went even further backwards from the Newcastle game lol.

I hope that decision doesn't end up being on the long list of "maybe if we hadn't X, Y, Z" at the end of season if we don't get out of trouble. I don't understand it either - everyone could see nothing was going to change, and 60 minutes into the game so could EM.

Im hoping it was because they were working on seeing if they could get silva because if not it was a ridiculous decision Chelsea were there to be got at first half plug should of been pulled after midgetland as it was never going to work after that game

Today is Ange's nameday. I wonder if EM has called him to give his best wishes.

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Each passing game highlights just how useless Ange was. Dyche is 100x better.

Ange becomes more unemployable with each passing game (at any decent level anyway). Dyche is showing what a difference having a proper manager makes in comparison to that absolute fraud.

 

[Rzar]

I am delighted he managed us to be honest because it got everyone behind Dyche when he joined.

Everyone will compare Dyche to Ange, and not Dyche to Nuno if it didn't happen. A reminder of it could always be worse.

Can we let this thread die and forget this tosser?

No, we have to remember what complete shit he was, the f***ing chancer.

I f**ked it off to "Ex-Players", I am not sure what else I can do (apart from deletion of the entire thread, a la Josef Stalin...)

It's funny cos it's true.

Can we sue him for fraud? I was willing to give him a chance but he has shown himself to be an absolute chancer who somehow has won trophies and earnt millions.
