Frank has to put out shit players like Odobert, Tel, Richarlison, and Johnson in attack, and he has us 4th in the table.
It won't be long before the West Ham folk turn on him. If they ran Moyes out of town, they will come to hate Nuno.
They always bang on about the 'West Ham way', which they haven't played in 50yrs. Can't play expansive, attacking football when your players are ass.
Big Ange, the Greek gift that keeps giving: I guess I just don’t fit. Not here [at Forest], just in general. If you look at it through the prism that I’m a failed manager and I’m lucky to get this job – and I can find the print where that’s said – then of course this first five weeks looks like ‘wow, this guy’s under pressure’. Of course there’s an alternative story you can look at. I came into the Premier League two years ago, I took over ‘Spursy’ Tottenham and I was told by the chairman that the club has to win a trophy. Spurs had finished eighth with no European football, we finished fifth in my first year. But somehow that year has disappeared from the record books – the first 10 games were an anomaly apparently, whereas the first 10 games here are very important. But all I’ve heard about my time at Tottenham is that we finished 17th last year. But there are some basic explanations about why we finished 17th, look at what I prioritised. The last game against Brighton the players were out partying beforehand, which I sanctioned.
Big Ange makes history again: the 40 days is the shortest reign in PL history. He finishes with 26 losses in his last 43 PL games. Shocking. And we had loads of supporters who wanted him to stay on with us.
For Marinakis, I would nominate the great Victor Buono. ... if he hadn't died forty-odd years ago. Chain-smoking and tipping the scales at 30 stone couldn't have helped. RIP, Vic.
If he could do an Australian accent, I would cast Al Pacino for Ange. There has to be a great monologue in there...
CoysConfidential on X: "I’m being told that Ange Postecoglou was met by an angry, fuming Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis as he walked through the tunnel. Marinakis’ intention wasn’t to tell Ange he was fired — it started as a normal conversation and critique of his performance. But it got" / X
