Oh the humanity!
The article is very far from a hit piece. It’s mostly very complimentary whilst suggesting he’s probably a bit too idealistic.
Nothing in the article is wrong, whether he likes Ange Postecoglou or not.

I’ve seen your posts. I definitely saw your posts from the other day. So having seen them, you’ll take it the way it is intended when I say I’m glad you don’t like mine.
He’s a Spurs supporter.
Ultimately he’s being paid to write. And he’s very good at his job.
And I like how you have turned into a bit of a Karen here. Must be catching!!
He supports Liverpool.
Reads to me like it’s written by a gooner for gooners!
Not fit to wrap your chips in!
First para was a total hit piece. No doubt he feigned an attempt to appear balanced from there but he's already told the reader how he feels and implied the reader was with him if they continued reading.
To be fair to Ange if I picture the club staff strolling around the state of art facilities that we fans paid for, joking about throwing game and acting like they're on holiday already then maybe that would fuck me off too.
There is something in that clubs with rotten culture inside like Man U nowadays or us tend to fail whilst if you can built a strong culture around the club like Klopp menaged to do at BVB and brought it to Liverpool then it can lift the team. Or look at Croatia national team over the years- talent yes but also a great unity and pride and responsibility in every player and coach they have, culture around their team helps them overachieve time after time.
Fine by me to have a big clear out this summer if he can identify the bad apples.

Liew is different when it comes to Ange. He uses his platform to forward a personal agenda. It dates back to his Celtic days.
No issues with being a Karen about calling that useless waste of column inches out. There are thousands of younger, more professional journalists out there that would kill for an opportunity to cover the sport from his position and no doubt 99% of them would act in a more professional manner than Liew does with Ange.
Not sure where the he talks in riddles and cryptic accusations come from , I think he very clear , last week or so brutally . To brutally for some of our delicate flowers it seems , strange to me at least .
This is spot on. He encouraged exactly the mindset he is now making out is so offensive to him. We have to be honest about what is happening, and any sensible critique of Ange Postecoglou has to be honest about the good and the bad. He has promoted feels over pragmatism and it went sour. I mean be honest, has anyone ever seen anything as bat shit as that first game against Chelsea? Nine men and open like a 24hr Kwiki-E-mart. Yet at the end it was like Oscar night with hugs and pats on backs and talk of pride. You reap what you sow.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs project is a magnificent act of misdirection | Jonathan Liew
There is no shame in losing to the champions and Tottenham manager has made the same failure taste much betterwww.theguardian.com
Worth a read.

And none of them would have the flair for writing Liew does, the ability to make articles about the sport an experience for the reader. His prose is brilliant, far and away the best of any sports journalist.
Aren't the seats right behind the Dugouts normally reserved for Friends and Family of Players and Staff?
Fantasy adventure or Mills & Boon?!
You can’t choose your family……
Flair for writing...
an experience for the reader..
His prose is brilliant...
At least mummy still knows what to get you for Christmas.
Literally, there were fans in here were saying they enjoyed it and it was funny.
Some of those are the same fans who quote Bill Nicholson yet I never quite remember the ends of all those quotes where he said 'except if Woolwich might win the league'.
We are all custodians of the club - not one of us has any claim to it greater than the other. It was here before all of us and will be here after.
I just think at a game, a home game at that, you shouldn't cheer the other team scoring.
What will mummy be getting you, a signed JFK JR autobiography or the big book of conspiracy theories for the modern reader?
Tough one.
Fair but then you have also said tbat we are all custodians of the club with no less or greater let's say claim than any other. They expressed in their way, because we are not all the same.
We move on..
Surely the City game has proved his is willing to adapt and refine his approach? I'm not making excuses for him but I still think had wed replaced Kane we would have had CL secured weeks ago
