Oh right, so when Rodgers took over at Leicester following his great spell at Celtic, it was all doom and gloom for them was it? Were Leicester not flavour of the year and he won them the FA Cup?

His spell at Leicester turned awful because the club from top to bottom has been run appallingly the last year or so.

The reason so many Spurs fans (including me) was against appointing Rodgers was because he had come off a bad spell at Leicester and he would not have been the type of appt to inspire any hope.

You've been so quick to write off Ange before he's even stepped foot in the door. Your negative, doom and gloom attitude just comes across as entitled.

You're not happy with win now managers (Jose/Conte) and you're not happy with coaches who have something to prove i.e Ange so what's the point in even attempting support the club. Id just give up if I was you if it causes you this much misery.

I 100% expect you to be booing in his first game when we're drawing 0-0 at half time.

Sadly I think we're done and I won't blame Ange or even Levy now.

City - worth around £20bn
United, even under poor ownership dwarf our spending ability
Chelsea - despite some deluded fans optimism, will continue to embarrass us financially
Liverpool - sign exactly what they need to improve. Utmost faith in their coach.
Newcastle - worth about a trillion quid. Not even exaggerating. Pep will probably be there in the next few years. Whore that he is.
Woolwich - 7 yeas away from the CL and still backed their coach more than Levy ever will.

I just don't think Levy and ENIC can compete with that lot for more than an out of character season anymore.

First Strategy meeting for next season as I imagine it playing out .

Ange : Can we talk about new signings

Levy : There won’t be any

Ange : But you promised me

Levy interrupting: No I didn’t

Ange : But , but , but

Levy: Didn’t, didn’t ,didn’t

Ange looking to Munn for support : Munny you were there remind this prick what he said

Munn checks WhatsApp message from Levy saying £5k bonus to back me

Munn: Ange , Ange , Ange baby , we never said that at all

Ange : Fuck you I will be a success in spite of you and storms out

Levy to Munn : Every fucking time , they fall for it every time Munny , give Donna the bank details where you want the 5 K paid

Ange to his wife : I got some bad news, I would not unpack the non essentials


So let’s all get behind Ange , he is going to need us

Lets be honest, this is the aperitif the main course is whether Kane stays or goes.

If he stays, we get a decent keeper and 1 or 2 defenders, we MIGHT be back in contention for a top four birth. Though its going to be harder. I just want the FA cup. Surely we can go all out for a domestic trophy with no European football? You'd think...

If Kane goes. I don't think it matters who is the manager, they are fucked.

You can’t target a domestic cup. That would be lunacy, you could Man C away in the 3rd round. Too many uncontrollables

The summer he signed for Celtic they had just finished second to rangers but only by 25 points so not sure they were the best team in Scotland - definitely not by miles!

He replaced Neil Lennon. Who had won........ the treble in 19/20 and...... the treble in 18/19 (well, finished off the treble Rodgers would have won)
Something had gone wrong by 20/21 and, IIRC, Lennon was getting death threats or something from fans.
And despite Celtic finishing way behind Rangers, they only lost 2 more games than the season just gone.

Rangers getting a European final is way bigger than repeatedly winning trebles with Celtic. Way more impressive. And look what happened to Gerrard.

He was yacking on about Celtic being the better team when they got beat by Real Madrid. Which was 0-3 at home and 5-1 away.

If there is a Spurs fan with a pulse that is happy getting beat 8-1 over two games but passing it about a bit, they need their fucking head checked. That's how low Scottish football is. Losing in the 95th Minute having gone toe to toe maybe.
Not 3-0 and 5-1. That's winning without even trying in RM's part
And they then got absolute ran over then reversed on by City.

I know. Imagine getting beaten by real madrid in the champions league while shopping on a shoestring budget.
Comparing celtic madrid, and city is quite farcical really

Or as a normal human being would say, 22 points less. And 31 less in GD. But you prefer to look at only losses because that suits your point. I believe the other day you compared such logic to that of a flat earther.

nothing to enjoy.

As ever, will be happy to admit I was wrong when proven wrong

No doubt all those that have convinced themselves this is the one, won't admit they were wrong if that happens.
They'll probably try to claim they never thought anything of the sort.

Nobody has said that he is ‘the one’.

Only that they’ll back him and look forward to seeing what he can do.

Literally nobody has pretended he’s some sort of messiah.

So learn to read and comprehend

You realise it's perfectly reasonable to like Poch, admire the work he did in his 5 years as Spurs manager but still hate Chelsea FC and hope to see them fail?

A very stupid, immature post... if you don't mind me saying.

You should know by now that I don't mind anybody saying anything unless it's evidently racist or homophobic. The stupid is fine or I would be seething all day.

I take the hits and dish them out. Never an issue.

Points noted. Just off to have my jelly and ice-cream..
