Having Nagelsmann available and not going after him is probably the biggest reason people don’t like Ange

Yeah, I think this is it. It’s how the board has, once again, gone about the actual search. It would be one thing if they identified Postecoglu as the man from the outset, but it again just feels like the cheap/easy option after all others were deemed too expensive/difficult.

That’s not to say he isn’t the right guy though. He seems to be likeable, and someone you’d want to see succeed, and will no doubt attempt to play more attractive football than the last 3 managers.

It seems like a Nuno-esque hire, but I feel better about Big Ange than I did Nuno. Ultimately he’ll still have levy & the board making decisions above him so I’m not sure how much he can actually achieve, but if he’s the guy I’m willing to give it a chance.
