despite all the twitter stuff yesterday, still no official news. I suspect Ange is with us for a while longer.

I imagine until the November international break.
-
If he's still here for Chelsea and the atmosphere is toxic (I'm not writing that game off - if Murillo and Douglas Luis are back we should be much better), I don't see Marinakis letting it carry on for another five games, which would put us firmly in a relegation battle and in desperate trouble for EL qualification.
-
Man Yoo at home is still looking likely isn't it?
-
We’ll probably win that one.
-
Nuno went on the night of the second Monday of the last international break, so you have to think Postecoglou is almost certainly here for Chelsea. Let’s hope the turnaround starts then. Murillo and Douglas Luis back will help.
-
I doubt Murillo will be back personally. I hope I'm wrong. Ange also looked pissed off with him.
Luiz may help a bit. Enough to beat Chelsea? Doubtful.
I'm predicting 3-0 Chelsea.
-
On the bench at Newcastle and shown training with the rest of the players last week. I'd be surprised if he wasn't in the squad. And then, why wouldn't he play?
-
He probably will. But as I mentioned, Ange looked super pissed off with him during the Mitjerland game, partly for not telling them he needed to come off, partly for being at fault for the first goal?
-
This feels like he knows he's done and wants to set the record straight:
-
Just watched that video of his press conference. How can clubs give so much media training to players and yet he seems completely unskilled at talking to the media? Others have mentioned that he hasn't had enough of a break between jobs and that completely shows up here - he's still mentally processing his sacking at spurs. Hes not over it and he's not showing any enjoyment / energy / attachment to Forest. Its a heartsink of a press conference in my eyes
-
Oh fuck off. We're not Tottingham Forest...
-
What he said.
-
He doesn't help himself does he?
-
Yes. Terrible. He is spending all his time defending himself and not talking about the players, game management or plan that was hopefully formed in training.
Should have kept Nuno's staff (who all wanted to be here) after letting Nuno go and finding someone with a similiar miindset. This seems like sour grapes already. if you are not going to enjoy the job or challenge or look even remotely enthused to play Chelsea then head off to the beach and give the money back. Someone will hire you in the future. It might not be what you want but it might be what you need.
Does he not know that Chelsea this year are suspectible to the long ball because they press so high up the pitch. If we try and play short out of the back we are utterly fucked. Anyway, it was very me, me, me..... Some people... What's psycho doing nowadays. I liked his press conferences...

He doesn't do that kind of thing does he? It's one of the reasons I think he's hopeless. Other managers set up their team to play the opposition, he doesn't. You can get away with that if you are the or one of the few best teams in a league, which funnily enough is what he has been when he's had his league successes.
Anyway here's hoping I'm wrong and he sets us up to exploit them tomorrow.
