Management Ange Postecoglou

Let's say Tottenham had hired De Zerbi. His system would have been just as much a change as Postecoglou's. Would anyone be saying we have to accept some undefined period of losing?
Only 1?!! WHERES THE AMBITION
It's cruel for you to give me such false hope.
Staff at the training ground report that Postecoglou is charismatic, affable, professional and single-minded. Despite his fondness for using ‘mate’, he has already memorised the names of almost every member of staff, taking some by surprise.
He has no time for small-talk, however, and is fiercely authentic; he immediately knocked back some quirkier ideas from the online content team because they did not feel right for him.
He is a meticulous time-keeper and players or staff who are lax with their timings can expect short shrift. The Ashes has been on the big screens around the training ground, including in the players’ canteen, but few staff have been brave enough to open hostilities with the Australian, who was at Lord’s to support the tourists on day three of the Second Test, on the eve of his first official day at Spurs.
For now, the 58-year-old is living at the Lodge at Hotspur Way while he hunts for a London home to share with his wife and two youngest sons, seven and nine. He has been starting work before 8am, and his days have varied in length, depending on whether he has put in a single or double session. For members of the squad who found Conte’s training regime too gruelling, Postecoglou should be a welcome change.
As for his stance on ketchup and mayonnaise, which was outlawed from the players’ canteen under Conte, that is not yet clear, but certainly the food has already been more varied than during Conte’s tenure, when it was not uncommon for the players to go long periods with only plain chicken, salmon and pasta
.............
Not surprised Conte eventually lost the dressing room, only so long a man can go without ketchup and mayo

The players would eat that in front of him but you can guarantee such a strict approach would lead them to bending the rules at home.
Yes. Our squad has been a mess for years.
Just about no one outside of spurs fans has us in the top 4 next season.
Woolwich were smart not to fire arteta even though he finished 8th in his half season and 8th again the following season. If they fired him after that, they’d be way worse off than they are now.
Absolutely 100%
Although the reality for Postecoglou may be very different as it would have been for de zerbi
If their fans had their way he'd be long gone.... As would Edu & Kronke.
Let's hope Ange proves worthy of patience and that he gets the requisite amount.
He won’t be backed like Arteta, so he’s on a hiding to nothing. When he loses hope by Xmas due to being royally stitched up, we shouldn’t think twice about sacking him (assuming both him and the players have given up a la 100% of managers under Levy)
Oh yeah, that bit really stuck out to me when I watched it. They were genuine comments but it's definitely a well-rehearsed style for answering that type of question.
Yes. Because it’s still a total change in style and players. But the expectations would just be a bit higher because of what he did at Brighton. Some there’d maybe be a little less known leeway because he’s more of a known entity. Anyways, it’s irrelevant. We’re rebuilding, we need to actually commit to it.
Who'd have thought that Lasagne, Ketchup and Mayo would derail our Club.
Perhaps he should give Redknapp a call!
....When all along we should be aspiring to be mustard.
Ange has said is past interviews that he loves the absolute challenge of taking a broken down club and turning them around. He says he feeds off the naysayers and negative comments as that motivates him all the more. He has such incredible self-belief and charisma but always seems so down to earth.
Mourinho is a charlatan who has conned his way around top clubs in Europe for way too long.
Online content team better hope they can get a full refund on that kangaroo costume or they're in the shit.
Ange constantly wants his teams to attack and press for the full 90 mins plus OT always. Always. ALWAYS. Whether the team in 1-0 up or 6-0 up he wants them to attack and makes sure they know it on the field. He doesn't settle for draws and doesn't set any team out to defend a lead when they're winning. If somebody isn't trying or playing to the game plan then subs-permitting, they'll be hooked. His football is brilliant to watch.
