Gee there's a shock, they made bribing agents a thing, mind you I dont think they are the only club

They will probably head their defence by saying we're a different entity now, so go fine Boehly.

Gee isn't Manchester United flying .

Knocked out by Grimsby Town in the cup

Got hammered in the Manchester Derby last night.

Sitting 14th

1 win and a draw from 4 games.

Only win they needed a 97 min penalty against Burnley to knock them off.

Looking Bottom half material yet again.

Well that was shit. Chelsea in control at half time and looking to Benfica on Wednesday and they've been f**ken pantsed. Red card changes everything.

Liverpool also without their mind on the job. Very exciting finish.

And Frank is learning the meaning of "Spursy", we drew with the bottom team

Its not just the loss, but the way they lost, playing his very high line, Midtjylland scored on the counter attack while Forsts CBs were scrambling to get back to defend and one done a hammy and was subbed.

Spurs defender were injured for most of the time when Ange managed us but would never change his ways. The workload and amount of sprinting back that his defenders are required to do is what causes a lot of injuries.

These guys are a recently merged Danish FC and any EPL team really should be putting them away.

Ange has lost 6 on the trot in all competitions. He needs to turn this around pretty quick or he'll be gone imo. Marinakis is not a patient man.

I personally don't think he should have taken the job.

Easy to say a month later but the timing of it just wasn't right and i think most thought that as well. I certainly did and if i wasn't quoted on here i definitely said it to a few people in conversation.

4 games into a season the transfer window already done your just asking for trouble walking into a club like that already.

Where you can't go out and buy the players you want to play your system and your hamstrung with the cattle already and its basically 4 months until the next transfer window its all over red rover by then.

Like honestly if a owner is firing a manager 4 games into a season its clearly a dysfunctional place.

I think Ange bit off more then he could chew here. He would have been off biding his time in the background.

Timing as well if he got the Forest Job in July then its completely different he has a pre-season to implement everything and your not behind the 8-ball

He's been wanting another PL job since he left Spurs, and he has history with Marinakis, being a Greek billionaire, and Ange also being of Greek heritage, and they have socialised together over the years.

I think Marinakis will be more patient with Ange than he would be with someone else. If he can at least last till the January TW, then Marinakis will back him with transfers, but even that may be a big ask.

Forest is my team. Not that I watch much these days. Hopefully he comes good but I am not confident.
I actually watch more EPL now that it's on stan

Having been to Craven Cottage to experience the EPL Fulham atmosphere and done the stadium tour i am cheering Fulham on now every game like i do Parra.

Plus I now have the Home, Away, Alternate jersey so it gets as much a workout then my Parra gear when I exercise or around the house.
