Ange Postecoglou

Yeah Ange is never going to be pragmatic, I think we are getting a beautiful mix of the two men right now.

That game against Leipzig has announced our arrival on the European stage much like Ange’s night game v Rangers in his first season announced we were back to win the league.

 

Totally agree with all that. It started with Ange….and has matured with Rodgers.

Ange’s gung ho no defence style is being found out in the prem and Rodgers seems to have finally decided to make sure we are solid at the back.

 

Actually, I really like the way you put that, “it has matured with Rodgers” is a perfect description.

 

Can't argue with that.

 

Deila as well, set things up nicely for Rodgers to come in


That's not to take anything away from Rodgers or at all meant negative. Just that their styles was similar, formations etc, but little tweaks and things got taken up a level.

Same now with Ange, as said, he laid the ground work and got us on a good track, Rodgers comes in and does his magic now. Benefits from both but at the same time takes it up a level that neither deila or Ange could ever have done.

For me, as much as we all hate how Rodgers left the first time, Rodgers is the best manager I've seen at the club in my life time.

Ange is third best, behind saint Martin.

Lets not forget Lennons contribution

 

A rabbit hole I don't want to go down....there was a manger between Lennon then Rodgers for a reason

Its an interesting point. Liverpool Leicester and us. He's come in and inherited a good base and decent players. Has he ever went to a club and had to rebuild the team from scratch. I don't know much about his time at Swansea other than he did a decent enough job to get the Liverpool job.

 

So….taking all that in to account. Would you say the Peter lawell, dermot Desmond, everyone at the top etc. have done a great job of keeping things rolling?

 

Rodgers ahead of Martin O'Neill? Are you * MENTAL???

Rodgers isn't even ahead of Gordon Strachan at this point ffs.

 

100%

Within reason, they've done well enough at times when it comes to managers, yeah.
Lennon the first time was fine, but the second time was madness on all parts.
Rodgers first time was a Desmond project, which naturally worked out and again does now. But it's signs that they aren't all always pulling in the correct and/or same direction at board level.
The appointment of Strachan was obviously good. But who signed off on Mowbray needs slapped.
Deila I personally like, but we can't ignore the * show that was that entire saga leading to his appointment. The fact we tried to thrust him as an assistant to Roy Kean was absurd, but is one of many signs of board playing FM with the club too much. The fact he was also seen initially as an assistant then suddenly in the main hot seat was also a joke of a saga, albeit I do think he is a good manager and done relatively well here.

They (board) have also hamstrung pretty much every single manager at some stage since theyve all formed as a collective in the early 2000s.

I was at Millwall Swansea the year BRs Swansea went up. Millwall were going for a playoff position and Swansea for promotion, Swansea played great football and won 4-1? All the Millwall fans around me were saying Swansea played great. Didn't BR build that team?
