When Tottenham Hotspur made the decision to part ways with Ange Postecoglou after they won the Europa League title for the first time in more than 40 years, the move certainly wasn't popular amongst some sections of the Spurs fanbase.
While most of the criticism had to do with the way in which Daniel Levy went about the change - delaying a move that he seemed to have his heart set on anyway - there were plenty of fans who carried a grudge against Thomas Frank due to their affinity for Postecoglou.
It didn't take long for Big Ange to a get a new coaching job, and he's clearly not endearing himself to Nottingham Forest fans under Evangelos Marinakis - an owner whom Premier League supporters, including Tottenham's, have little love for, especially after the Morgan Gibbs-White transfer ordeal.
Well, as it turns out, Tottenham fans couldn't be more happy with the fact that Big Ange is coaching Forest, or with the fact that Spurs fired him and replaced him with Thomas Frank. Not only are Spurs getting better results in the Premier League and playing competitive football in the Champions League under Frank, but Postecoglou is doing the same old garbage with his new team.
Ange Postecoglou runs players into the dirt
Nottingham Forest fans are enraged at how Postecoglou is running his players ragged, especially star center backs Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic. And that was highlighted by the injury Murillo suffered on Thursday night in a 3-2 loss to Danish side FC Midtjylland.
Murillo is one of Forest's most important players, and Postecoglou negligently rushed him back against the better judgment of everyone. Fans can't believe Postecoglou pushed him to play against Midtjylland and were unsurprised to see him immediately reinjured in the first half of the match, dooming Forest to an utter defensive meltdown.
It's the exact scene Tottenham supporters witnessed at their club over the past two seasons under Big Ange, who seemed to use his players with reckless abandon, especially star center backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. The two had recurring injuries and were burned out badly by the Postecoglou "system".
Even now, the lasting legacy of Postecoglou's brutal approach has lived on with significant injuries to Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, and James Maddison, who have all been out for months. Postecoglou is already doing the same exact thing within weeks of his appointment at Nottingham Forest, and his Murillo mistake is only further reassurance to Spurs supporters that the right thing happened this summer.
