    Man if someone offered you a better job and x10 your yearly salary you would take it.

    Best league in the world , most probably.

    Extremely high profile. Yes.

    Can potentially make a name for himself in world football. Yes.

    Bottom line is people here think he owes them something, he built the team from nothing and won five trophies. Few people here need to get a serious fcking grip and stop bedwetting. It's called ambition and he wants to test himself, beyond the trophy haul he doesn't publically need to come out and tell you exactly what's happening in complex contract situations. Has anyone ever done that?

    And guessing and second guessing to suit your narrative and feed your rage that he was being sneaky and lied to everyone. People on Twitter threatening him as well. Too many in our support with completely embarrassing hun like behaviour sometimes, ultimately baffling.

    Was class for us the last two seasons and needs to be credited for the his contribution to the rebuild. We were in a bad place when he took over and the squad is solid now. He took a move to a strong epl side that will want to challenge for top 4 again next season so I wouldn’t hold anything against him. Thought he was always professional with his dealings. Wish him all the best. Hopefully we get in a good replacement and a bit of luck a long term replacement

    He will be beating his chest and fist pumping to that lot in no time. Ancient history now. Thanks for the trophies . Now let's try and get a manager who can not let us down in Europe.

    If you are sick to death of seeing people throw their toys out of the cot, then don’t read this thread. It’s pretty simple.

    At the moment emotions are high, some people need to process theirs, and venting is one way for people do this.

    Blind sided the club, strung them along, lied to the supporters. It's possible to leave one job for another without being a total * about it.

    He's gone you can stop sookin his boaby now.

    The Bain contract is a weird one.


    Let’s be honest, we were all surprised when Bain signed a new deal.
    Bain was probably surprised when he was offered one.
    Postecoglou didn’t offer him it.
    So who did ? And why ?

    Agree with alot of that. Yet when you mention to people before that he will be off, they bite your head off and insist he's a man of integrity , not a money grabber blah blah. People invent ideas about someone in their head and then get angry when it isn't accurate. No manager is staying here long term if they are very successful. Same with players. Kyogo will be off this summer , no doubt in my mind. We need to realise we are in a high personnel turnover system now, we have to bob and weave with it and hope the overall trajectory is an upward one.

    His agent would've heard of interest in him from England months ago, no doubt.

    He knew he was going sooner or later and kept the door open for staying at us for another season by engaging in conversations about future planning and about extending his deal.

    The next man has a lot at his disposal and Ange played a big part in that.

    It's over now.

    We move on.

    Undoubtedly..

    There was an aussie paper quoted on here the other day that said he'd been angling for a move quite a while ago..

    What's the point in going over it all now though. He's gone and won't be back..

    Imo he hasn’t been a total * about it and all that pish about stringing the club along is nonsense. He’s just delivered a treble ffs. I’m as annoyed as anyone he’s gone but saying he’s not a snake isn’t sookin his boaby. :56:

    Just had a read. As usual with these things, it's just someone writing their opinions, there's no substance whatsoever.

    Bit of an effort getting through that article, if you can call it that. Maybe the way it’s formatted on mobile makes it look worse than it is.

    Almost entirely if, buts and maybes and not much of substance.
