Ten Haag has taken time to get rid of the crud from United. They've had a really good clear out this summer (not saying they will be brilliant). I'm expecting similar with us this year, Ange will take a while to figure this squad out but I reckon he will do a good job. He is eminently more likeable than everyone since poch. Kane is gone but I think we will play nice football and improve on last year. Good luck Ange

Kane is a Spurs icon and a generational talent which means loosing him will induce a huge feeling of appreciation of what’s to come.
But oddly there is a real chance that Ange could get us to press high more effectively , more relentlessly now Kane won’t be in the side.
Unfortunately I’m new to Ange so can’t say this with conviction but having read up on him and how his previous teams play, whilst taking into account Kane’s only real weaknesses, I remain cautiously optimistic.
It was brewing mate.
Craig Foster had been baiting Ange for a long time. Neither came out of that interview looking good.
It took 16 years ( yeah that long ), but they have mended their friendship.

It's not always helpful to make direct comparisons, as Australia, Japan and Scotland are obviously different levels compared to the Premier League, but Ange has thrived in this situation before. Especially with Celtic who were coming off the back of an awful season and several of their best players were leaving - Édouard, Ajer, Christie, Brown, etc. It was a significant rebuild.
I suspected Kane was off when Ange was first linked, because he's not really the type of manager you bring in to tweak a few things in the hope of unlocking success, like a Mourinho or a Conte. He's the guy you bring in when you need a 180 change of direction, a culture reset, a clear identity. He thrives on proving others wrong moreso than living up to existing expectations, and that will suit this current situation to a T.

My most hated clubs are both in Manchester, in any case...
Ange must be really looking forward to his first PL pre match press conference later today.
Actually looking forward to that
If the Kane affair is truly done and dusted, he might actually be relieved that he can get on with his job, harder it might be with Harry gone.
If that Plettigoal cunt is there, I'd fully forgive Ange for flooring the fucker
Get the feeling Ange knew all along Kane was off and sees it as a big opportunity to build his team. Said it before, Ange builds teams. He's not interested in stars and all the bullshit we have seen that comes with them. Wouldnt surprise me if he was part of giving the green light for Kane to Bayern
The big question is what you gonna change your forum name too??
Craig Foster is a class A wanker!It was brewing mate.

I absolutely get that but all I have now is an overwheling sense of frustration.
For the first time since Redknapp we have an attacing manager
He arrived when we had our best goalscorer since Jimmy Greaves
We are playing a brand of footie which is exciting, entertaining, great to watch, and creates tons of chances. Kane would fill his boots with this guy in charge.
This is like Lineker joining (ooh great!!)
And 5 mins later we sell Waddle
Yet again our wankstain slaphead does a Berbatoss - let's sell a great player, haggle over buttons, and leave a manager shafted.
I trust Ange to get things right, but yet again Levy makes the manager's job absurdly difficult
No pressure Ange, but the hopes of our entire fanbase rest on you being able to be bigger than Jesus.
Imagine heading into this season with Nuno
Note that refreshing, no baggage feeling of optimism that he's brought?
That wouldn't have been the case with Poch..... We'd have been drowning in narrative.
Poch was an attacking manager. We had a boss team WITH Kane leading the line.... They didn't win anything.
May be scant consolation today, but........
Ange hasn't been "left shafted" either".
That Poch team was a "get the ball back immediately"
then possession based
aiming to create space with a lot of passing around the back
bit like chess, thinking positions 20 moves ahead
for a brief spell with Rose and Walker fit we tore teams a new one with pace down the flanks
Not really. If anything this has reduced whatever pressure he had, which wasn't much to begin with.No pressure Ange, but the hopes of our entire fanbase rest on you being able to be bigger than Jesus.
Personally, this season I'd just be happy with decent football and an improvement on the 63 goals that we conceded last season. If the team collectively scores 60 goals without Kane, then he's worked miracles.
We can then sack and blame him if it all goes wrong.
