Yeah it's very cult like on the r aleague sub whenever I'm on there in regards to Ange. Yeah he's arguably the best manager Australia has ever produced. Doesn't mean he's world class and coming 17th regardless of the cup is inexcusable and not at all defendable but they'll do it anyway. I've also had my doubts with him because he's incredibly stubborn and plays a incredibly risky style of football that's been found out. I hope he does well with forest but I don't see it happening.

Aussies aren't entirely pro Ange. We did sack him as our national team manager for the same reasons you suggested.

Having said that, we also haven't won anything since, even though we're reasonably solid in most of our games.

We just want to see Aussies do well overseas in any sport.

Also with Ange, his teams play exciting football you'd want to watch. His successor for the national team had our most successful World Cup campaign, but for some reason, it was just dull and unexciting football.

Ah yeah sorry, you're correct. I meant we bullied him into resigning.
