Ange Postecoglou

We got the reward at the end.

And I'm going, I had those players in the palm of my hands now because we went through the tough bit.

It wouldn't have been any harder than it was last year.

And we had success.

There's something to build.

And yet I think fear kicks in of, oh, yeah, but, you know, we finished 17th or whatever.

You know, we can't have another season like that.

And I think it's fear that drives it.

And I don't know what manager now will get that time because even if you're a high-profile manager, you know, and you get afforded a little bit more, I still think clubs are going to be ruled by the intense scrutiny.

I question a lot the people who make these decisions because...

More often than not, the people who make these decisions are very, very successful people.

Some of the most successful people in the world own football clubs.

But they've done it away from the public eye.

They've done it away from scrutiny.

I think you did the interview with Sir Jim and he was surprised at kind of the criticism and the blowback he was getting.

And they're not used to it.

You know, they have a...

you know, a shareholders meeting once a year and they get scripted to death about which questions because they're so fearful.

And they buy a football club and all of a sudden, oh, my God, we're used to it.

We know.
