I'm sure that we're all too lost in the constant jerk-off session that the football media has been in over Ange the past few weeks to be able to be objective, but I'm actually not sure I've ever seen a manager understand and care about the fan experience of supporting a football team than in how he gets and talks about it. I can't even think of an example close, really. He really actually seems to understand, and his philosophy is actually built upon it. Bizarre really.

He's actually getting a bit of flak from some quarters for this interview for not overtly expressing his support for that people of Israel. Its absolutely bonkers!

That's why he says "I'm not going to tell people what to feel and think"

You can't win with some people. Some will argue to keep politics out of the sport, and others reverse it. As you mention in your comment, I feel like Ange says the best thing. (y)

From Sky site; I wasn’t aware til just now:
“Ange Postecoglou, who has made history by becoming the first boss to win the Premier League manager of the month award twice in his first two months in the job.”…

Saw this stat from the Opta match preview:
“With a win, Ange Postecoglou would break the record for most points earned by a manager in their first nine Premier League games, held by Mike Walker and Guus Hiddink (22).”

It was a good team that played beautiful football and iifc did well in Europe as well, unheralded manager for some reason.

One of my mates is a Norwich fan and he still goes on about that Jeremy Goss goal v Bayern to this day.

yup. remember they played some great stuff, think they had a small squad though and just ran out of steam at the end. don't remember the numbers but sutton must have got at least 20.

Best start by any manager in the Premier League…

Is there anything this man can’t do?
