At no stage did the Australian coach seem to understand the assignment he had been given at Nottingham ForestWell, the Chelsea fans were wrong anyway. Ange Postecoglou was not sacked in the morning.

Even when, as of Saturday afternoon, he’s no longer in the room at all.The official version seems to be that Postecoglou was fired 18 minutes after his final defeat at the City Ground. In reality he was fired in real time, a live-action televised touchline sacking, gone from the moment Evangelos Marinakis disappeared from his seat midway through the second half with the look of a gamekeeper required now to the wring the neck of a dying pheasant.
