With his future at Nottingham Forest in the balance, Ange Postecoglou has launched a remarkable five-minute monologue, defending his record and reminding everyone how his story at clubs "always ends the same ... with me and a trophy."
The international break has done nothing to ease the heat on the Australian, whose seven-game winless start at Forest has had the fans turn on him while launching fevered speculation his time is almost up just five weeks into his tenure.
But if he's on borrowed time, Postecoglou is apparently determined to ram home his take on the story as he spent his news conference before Saturday's crucial home date with Chelsea by offering his own lengthy but eloquent take on his achievements at Spurs and on why Forest should stick with him.
