Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I am begging people to give this guy a chance, he’s absolutely grafted his way into this position and history tells us that the managers who do well with us see this as the biggest role that they have had at that point in their careers.

I like him a lot but I hope enough fans will be patient.

Agreed.

But it’s not going to be the fans that need to hold their nerve.

It’s ENIC when we’re potentially sat in 12th place at Xmas time. Is Daniel prepared to genuinely give someone time to rebuild the team or is he still labouring under the illusion that we *should* be Top 4 with this team?

The fans will back him. They always do.

Just be thankful Ange has saved you a bottle of Grey Goose.

Mourinho worked his way up from scratch, he wasn't handed anything, same for Conte.

The difference is that Jose and Conte peaked before coming to Spurs, whereas Spurs will be Angie's biggest job.

Mourinho has won one and lost in a final since he left.
Conte will carry on winning when he gets another job.

They certainly haven't peaked. Well, they haven't declined to a point where they weren't good enough for Spurs.

As a Scots Spurs fan i think this could be a very good appointment - it could also not work at all but i don't think he's any more of a gamble than the 'proven' managers were in that he is likely to work with Levy a bit more. I don't like the way Levy works and keeps the bargain shopping list handy and pressure on him and ENIC must be continued but it must be easier having the manager at least accepting the current limitations he has rather than constantly moaning about how bad the team is - that can't help players.

There's not much i can add to what others have said about watching Celtic up here other than they just kept going, fast, pressured football. Very rarely have i seen them take the foot off even when a good few goals up. As others have said it's not necessarily about how the Old Firm keep winning that should be noted it's the way that Celtic have done it the last few years, there's been some decent signings but most of it is down to coaching (Ralston and Taylor are prime examples of how he's improved them).

I can't see him taking any players but one who might be worth a punt would be Matt O'Riley. He's been tremendous in midfield and is unlikely to cost very much.

He’s a good player in Scotland but he’d get eaten up in the premier league. Not quick enough. The only one for me is Hatate and maybe Kyogo at a push because he’s a pen box player.

In this example, Spence and Udogie were not players signed for Conte and shouldn't be counted towards saying 200m was spent on Conte, which is false.

Look,

Nobody can claim no money is spent and then deduct money spent on a player because they don’t think the player was the Managers choice FFS. Money spent is money spent. If you add in the caveat that the money is spent well then by all means start deducting the funds.

Especially just to suit a narrative that you WANT to express.

Fuck Levy is fine because he has made a lot of mistakes, but as with anything else you have to give credit for the good things as well.

Let’s get behind Ange 100% and not for 6 games but the whole time he is here. And let’s hope it goes well. He has the qualities we need at the moment and the approach to football we have all been crying out for since 2019. So let’s give him some time to implement his ideas and get fully behind him. That’s what a real fan does.

After the amount of booing this season, the fans really are gonna have to hold their nerves.
Because if that carries on week after week, Levy will pull the trigger again.

The club essentially listen to the fans so if the fans are patient enough then the board won't jump.

Money spent does not = backing the manager.

I agree. I’d rather have someone who’s worked his balls off to get here than a Lampard or Gerrard who got it handed to them on a plate because of their playing careers. Ange has earned this so let’s get behind him and hopefully we can make this club better again. Fuck Mourinho and Conte types,this might be mental but it will be fun.

Agree


Were you also against Carrick and Kompany?

Fair enough.

But I do think the fans will certainly support the new manager, and if it turns sour, the complaints will be aimed at ENIC. I feel like that distinction is being clearly made now.

What concerns me is that Ange may do nothing wrong. The fans have become accustomed to pathetic cowardly performances. Unless there are significant changes to the squad, not just the regular starting 11, fans will be groaning in the first few games.
They say a good workman never blames his tools. Let's see him work with some of these cunts.
