Yes Hopey he had some injuries but continued to play the same suicidal high line with inexperienced back 4 in league and only for 3 poor promoted teams would have been in a relegation battle, which is a ridiculous achievement . Similar to Martin who just got sacked, prefers to persevere with his principles rather than start with something suited to the squad he has available
WTF mate what has farke won? His failed at every club in top leagues. If you telling me playing a flog like Aaronson pat and a couple others in this league is great management well yeah he muct be better than ange.Quote:

Yes Ange is stubborn but so is Bielsa and I?d have him back in a heart beat.
It wasn?t just a few injuries at Spuds but at one point I think they had 10 out which any team would struggle with.
His appointment at Florist is odd as they do t really have a squad suited to his style and he needs time to get his methods across.
Amen, brother, finally someone who sees what the gods have planted :) The good part of Ange is his genuine and truthful responses to journalists.Quote:

You could put him as one of the best every coaches in maneuvering the intricacies and corruption of the FA and championship level football. He did it with minimal fuss and chaos that characterizes many clubs chasing promotion. Give him credit for his niche. He's very, very good at it.
Prem's a different story but he's done some good work so far and I'm sure he had some input on the signings which seem pretty solid. If past history holds true and we improve as the season goes along we should be solid to stay in the prem.
Not disrespecting AP but I think it's like comparing apples to oranges. He's had some incredible individual players as well as huge established teams he's been gifted. Not sure how many, if any, he's built from scratch which is what many coaches have had to do.
Don't think he's a fit at all for Forest.
We’ll said spaldy, agree completely.
Its NOT UNUSUAL for a ***BOMB like me to have difficulty understanding what you say Delilah.Quote:
