    I never realised that I thought the continued fat shaming comments was referencing him calling Ange fat and the Forest owner never witnessed him calling anyone else fat before.

    Oi I'm losing my hair and I'm not as slim as I used to be. F*cking prick.

    If you're still thin in your 40s you haven't enjoyed life enough ;).

    Probably all the more reason to give him the time, then.

    I personally don’t think it was the right appointment for the reasons you said, but that’s not his fault. He’s come in at a time where you’ve had a game every 3 days, so little time on the training pitch to get his ideas across.

    Why are you only focussing on last season (and his start with you), rather than his 5th place finish the season before? There musy have been positives for that to happen?

    I’m not even that much of a fan of Ange, I just think the reaction from Forest fans - and probably you in particular - is way over the top. He’s by no means a master tactician, but neither was Nuno, they just have very different styles. And your opinion might be that he has no charisma, and can’t motivate, but it’s not necesarily shared by players he’s worked with - given the reaction of some at Spurs when he was sacked.

    And of course I wouldn’t have him at City, but I tell
    you what, I’d get behind him if it did happen. Although I’m not sure what thats got to do with anything.

    BBC reporting that Forest are considering Dyche to potentially replace Ange.

    This is like going from too defensive to too attacking to too defensive.

    I've never been stick thin by any means but since turning 40 earlier this year I've piled weight on. Used to have a routine of getting out for a run a few times a week and felt guilty if I didn't do it (even though I never enjoyed it) but I don't think I've run anywhere since my birthday.

    The epitome of thinking **** it, I've reached the downward slide now so might as well enjoy it

    Lazy journalism. Dyche lives in Nottingham and is unemployed so he must be the next Forest manager. The only way this happens is if we have someone else lined up for the summer and need a short term manager to come in and save us from Ange's relegation party

    Basically be going back to the Nuno style of play but even more pragmatic?

    We've taken about 30 steps back so far this season so are now well before the Nuno style. This season is worse than our first season in the PL and that was dire. We simply need to survive by any means now and can no longer be bothered about style of play. We've tried a change of approach with the worst possible outcome

    As it’s about a manager I’ll throw it in here.



    When it comes to the new stand, I’ll believe it when I see it. :laugh:

    It's a shame that you are just thinking about staying up after such a good season last time.

    Last season was never likely to be repeated, with Nuno or without. Just a shame that we are going about it in the worst possible way so far this season

    was reading that (supposedly) the Newcastle game was seen as a crunch, not sure why that would be and not the game before or the handful after, not as if Newcastle away was a game you'd expect most sides to win - although to be fair 50% of the visitors have won there this season, might also happen to be the top two!

    If you're screwed in Europe come Christmas then I'd be looking at getting shot, if the league position is equally bad, not that I'd have appointed him in the first place (or Dyche! not even lazy journalism, plain awful)

    A 5 minute monologue about himself is probably the best thing he has done since we appointed him. In 5 minutes he proved everything I have said about him to be correct and managed to lose the last few Forest fans clinging to the hope that he can somehow turn this around :laugh:

    I saw someone on twitter mention that it will be quite apt to sing It's all about you, it's alllllll abbbooouuutttt yoooooouuuuuuuu, Ange Postecoglou, it's all about you today.

    Quite liked Ange’s interview. You can’t say ‘it’s all about him’ when you’ve all done nothing but moan about every tiny thing he’s done/ said/ his track record since he’s come in :laugh:
