    Exactly. Every stat says we were getting worse but more importantly, every game was getting worse to watch. It was a constant deterioration in performances and results. And I don't buy this "throwing the league" stuff either. The players brought in for the players rested for the Europa games...

    Amorim hasn't had a full season or a summer window. This isn't really his squad. However if they carry on like they have done next season he will be toast. Postecoglu has been here two seasons. And every quarter has delivered declining results. 1st 19 games DWWWWDWWWWLLLDLWWWL (36 pts) 2nd 19...

    To be honest this is just the cycle most clubs go through. Dynasty managers are rare and becoming rarer. "projects" are driven by sporting directors for the most part. Clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona drive success by constantly refreshing the coaching staff. Arsenal on the other...

    The medical team don't create the injuries, so they don't need to cover their a***. Postecoglu himself in public interviews has said that injuries are part and parcel of how he trains and plays and said the players will adapt with time. So I 100% believe the press leaks that the sports science...

    Yeah the most significant factor correlated to league finish in any analysis of PL standings over several seasons is wage bill. If you have a competent set up you will finish in order of wage bill 7/10 at least. Exceptional coaching, recruitment and tactics can push you a few places higher but...

    On injuries, seems like the medical and sports science department have squarely pointed the finger at Ange's methods as the primary cause: 1) too many sprints in training 2) players pushed over recommended playing limits when recovering from injuries Ange's response when challenged by the...

    Depends how it goes with Frank. If he sinks then we will be made fun of. If he swims then it will look like the correct decision. Only time will tell. Personally, although I haven't watched much of Brentford, the one thing I'd say if it is Frank is that everyone on here seems to be saying he's...

    How do you think Ange would have done managing Brentford? Is the real comparison. If he'd followed his PPG trajectory at Spurs there (with the baseline based on the total from the season before) they'd have been relegated.

    I don't think he has a player revolt on his hands. And what is coming out immediately following this decision in a number of outlets is two clear messages from inside the club that contributed to the decision: - While Ange remained very popular with the players, he had started to distance...

    The statement is full of contradictions as the situation is full of contradictions. You are having to make a decision over a head coach that has on the one hand delivered the club's first European trophy since 1984, only the 3rd in its history and champions league qualification. On the other...

    Got it from transfermarket but I thought I'd switched the fixtures to 23/24 but I ended up double counting this season! All I would say is Frank's trajectory is upwards (39 points last season, 56 this), whereas Postecoglu's total points total is not only extremely poor compared to other Spurs...

    If you're referring to Frank, Brentford have 99 points from their last 66 PL fixtures.

    The club statement is pretty brutal in its clarity: 78 points from the last 66 PL games. That is woeful.

    It's mixed feelings for me. Relief and sadness really. I think it was the right decision. But it does leave another big decision to me made and not one that the club will necessarily get right. I feel sorry for Ange. He seems overall like a decent bloke that the players definitely took to and...

    So there is probably going to be an argument about when "all the injuries" started, I.e., at what point the absences that are normal in a season (and which every club have to deal with), deteriorated to a point where "all the injuries" can be cited as a reason for poor league performances. For...

    Exactly. If Ange is sacked, it won't be because he deprioritised the league. It was the very fact that the league campaign had become meaningless so early (allowing him to deprioritise it) that will be the reason...

    I imagine the other thing that is impacting here is the obvious butchering at the top of the club. If the Lewis family have decided to step in and root-and-branch up-end the clubs entire management structure including potentially getting rid of Levy any previous decision re: Ange made between...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    These are less common (and would be even more horrific to maintain (as anyone that has experienced a drainage issue will attest). But the ones that use ground bored loops will be more insulated from seasonal changes ultimately they're still dealing with the starting point of the heat or...
