Let ‘em gnash, Lage ain’t our problem now. Those fools wanna cling to nonsense, that’s on them.
 
I still think it's partly as we'd been spoiled under Nuno and just wanted it to end up working out (the patience with Lage). If that makes sense - probably doesn't :ROFLMAO:
 
I get people wanting him to succeed while he was here, I did despite my many reservations about his actual suitability for the job and half page CV.

Why be revisionist nine months after he left though, he was obviously fucking abject. Amazingly this incredible manager is still unemployed and hardly ever gets linked anywhere, wonder why.
 
Had a chance at a new job last November...

He is strange though as he went a year without a job after Benfica (albeit, he was going to take over at Villa if Smith had failed).

Plenty of links though, outside of Forest it has been Saudi and Brazil where he is name is thrown around. Maybe he is just happy as he is probably still getting paid by us, so no panic as he knows his agent will get him in somewhere when he is ready. Unless a Prem club lose their shit though, it won't be over here.

He is clearly a decent coach. Enough players and a lot of them elite players praise him on that front but he is also clearly piss poor at man-management and his solution to those louder than him was to get rid of them.

Ideal world we should have sacked him in May last year (ignoring the ideal world of never employing him scenario). However, at that point we still would have been bending over for Jorge and Scott would have read the dossier on who was next from page 7 of Jorge's managers and told us he was the next Pep, despite only have managed in the Portuguese 2nd Division for 6 months.

At least the extension allowed Jeff to panic and realise he was fucking things up and something had to change, not just on the head coach side but at the club.
 
Best of luck to him, instrumental in our early success under Nuno, a top bloke and great leader. Sentimentality is for fans and not football clubs: we can be sentimental about what he meant to us, the club are doing the right thing in moving on from him.
 
I don’t think anyone who saw him in midfield and then at right back could ever have imagined he’d become a club legend. Nuno gave him an opportunity and he grabbed it with both hands. Best of luck at Leicester Connor, hope you can lead them to promotion.
 
Just shows what can happen when you grab opportunities as they come your way.

Thanks for everything Conor.
 
I keep reading from people that Everton paid an £8m loan fee. I can't believe for one second they'd pay that much, or that it'd be more than the option to buy him.
