No he wasn’t. You’re talking shit. You actually honestly think he was gassing himself up for the Liverpool job??? You made that up in your head and you think it’s true. 👍🤣

Postecoglou literally got asked the other day about managing Greece one day he said no he's happy we're he is.

Postecoglou first season has been our 2nd best finish in 5 years only just behind Conte's(apparently a world class coach at the time) first season and hes getting stick.

Honestly, the guy is a bigger wideboy than Redknapp and thats saying something. LOVES waggling his arse for the media. It’s all a bit cringe. Iv never seen a manager talk so much about himself yet achieve so little. Atleast Redknapp earned his stripes and had been in the top flight for decades and earned that bit of limelight, and is actually funny. Guys been in top flight football less than a year and is already booking punditry gigs. If he was a seasoned manager in his 4th season with the club youd say okay fine enjoy yourself., But not when youve just finished ur first season with the club where you pretty much tanked the second half of the season and then wet ur pants at spurs fans during a game.

Honestly dont like nor trust the guy. Dude thought he had won the league mid season and was gassing himself up for the Liverpool job, tells me all I need to know.

Sorry but this is completely ignoring the context, in particular the style of football played last season and this season.

We are playing much more attacking football now, scoring more goals (well, getting in positions to score more goals at least!), and consequently giving up more / better chances to the opposition. However we've not conceded lots more goals than last year, as our defenders and keeper are much better players.

Isn't this what everyone wanted? More attacking football, more chances for us to score goals, but without conceding lots more goals? I'm certainly happy with that. :/

Think we’ve let in two less. We have the lowest GF out of the top 7 i think.

its ok, let the guy get the attention he craves and be everyone's mate. its not like our last 11 games were relegation form or anything. not like hes got serious issues to be putting serious thought into. waffling about euros in the spotlight is far more important that sorting out the shit that needs to be done back at tottenham. hes sending out a great message on where his priorities are...never know though, maybe watching all these euro games he might pick up some pointers on set pieces.

He’s one of many that if they think it then it’s 100% true. I have came to the conclusion that they can tell what Ange’s thinking. Clever chaps.

If I remember this correctly he's done TV before when he was in Australia. He also was an off season motivational speaker. He's good with the media so I'm not surprised he would find some work doing this. Plus, at his age he's not made as much money in the game as other managers who got in more years in bigger markets. There's nothing wrong with any of that. But, to your point, I think people just have to realize that when he talks about things he says a lot for affect. He's not just some plain spoken guy who wandered in off the street, he's someone who knows what to say to get fans in his corner and works at creating an image.

Plus there is the fact that Liverpool would probably not have been interested in him. Postecoglou wouldn't have necessarily been a good fit for that team. You don't need an unusual system if you've got the weapons Liverpool has available to them.

Whenever she talks I have to put the TV on mute. She is that rare type of person who thinks they are genius but is actually a bit of an idiot. I still remember her proudly admitting that she colluded with other club's sporting directors (i.e fraud) to get players' values inflated so her boss would raise the transfer budget. People pointed out that this was potentially illegal and she cried victimhood.
