Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

>we didn't clear out the deadwood properly
You know why? Because nobody wants deadwood but now we have more deadwood to pile onto it.
>we hired glamour rather than project managers that ended up making us play defensive, ugly football
I think Conte's project was to improve us and make us a side much harder to beat. He did that for a while. But what good is a project manager when ENIC have no project
>this summer we're clearly restructuring the hierarchy of the football club and Levy is stepping back

I'm rolling with the positives
Come on you don't believe that, who just hired Ange? He will never take a step back.
 
Cos they weren't about the reset. They were our attempt to go for glory.

It did not go well
Well tbf they both gave us a shot at glory, Mourinho got us to the league cup and Conte got us to the CL.
Mourinho was given Gedson and Carlos Vinnicus and Conte was given Danjuma and Spence, that didn't exactly help them.
 
He’s not going to hit the ground running and start winning right away. All reports are that his teams start slowly when he arrives before they get used to his system - then the winning takes off big time.

Might as well buckle up. You’re going to need patience because he is not a get rich quick scheme manager who then burns out like Conte. This is a long haul play.
Sure but this whole 'hE WiLl uNiTe tHe fAns' thing will rely on him winning. No one unites anything by losing. Thats just fanboy talk.

Conte got a bit of juice out of the squad but it was always going to blow up. In the end he rescued us from the Nuno situation which really was a mess of a managerial appointment (following a completely aimless search that dragged on until the beginning of July).

If nothing else we appear to have been far more focussed on our head coach shortlist this time around. They've fit a remit of attacking football and at least as far as I can tell the likely order of preference has gone:

- Nagelsmann (if they even did talk properly)
- Slot
- Ange

Interesting that Enrique was right there for the taking but we're taking the 'risk' with Postecoglou. Lessons learned from the previous big names of Mourinho and Conte?

And I dare say the new CFO and fellow Aussie may have had some input into the decision to hire Ange.

How you can spend so much of your time arguing how brexit was framed and then do a similar spin job on those two managers is disappointing.
 
Ridiculous comment, and nobody with a brain expects that.

All change takes time. We're at the start of a new process/cycle now. So can shove your 'fanboy' comment right up your jacksie.

Anyone who doesn't give him time (and time = at least a full season) is a sub human gutter rat fink cunt with no brain (and probably is a closet gooner).
You have reading difficulties and go off on silly little rants but I have grown to find it cute now.

They were both undermined by ENIC, that's a fact and if you are interested in glory you don't sack a manager who is used to winning things on the eve of a cup final and replace with Mason. And you don't sack a manager and replace with his assistant when you're in 4th place.
