Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Everywhere he has managed he has imparted a signature style on his squad. How does that happen only after he becomes manager if its not due to him developing managing, training. Who's doing it if not him?
True.
He effectively relegated Leicester last time he was in the prem and had them playing really naive football
I don't think that Iraola would take it either. He is also still building his reputation.
I think that someone like Mancini is more likely. Or dare I say it... Rodgers (sigh). Guys who have already won trophies and proven to be successful. Guys that have nothing to lose by possibly failing to win something with Spurs. But everything to gain from potentially breaking the trophy drought.
Ange will leave behind a shambles, but also some good things:
- Solanke
- VdV
-Bergvall
- Gray

Maybe this group of elite players playing in the best league in the world don't truly believe in his methods/tactics as a leader of them?
It’s worth billions now, they aren’t walking away from that.
Sugar wasn’t getting anything out of owning us despite putting a lot of his money into it. So it made it a lot easier for him to decide to sell.
Yes but...You're just having a laugh now aren't you?
He is a top man.
And yet Rangers played in the Final of the Europa league in one of two seasons where they were Postecoglou's bitches.
That's the question.
He made them greater than the sum of their parts. Not here though. Why?
I think to an extant all three could be true.
Injuries have played a big part in it. He also hasn't imparted his signature style on this squad-for that reason, its time he went. 18 months is long enough. Its not working.
Fack me, Mancini or Rodgers, like choosing which knacker to saw off with a rusty knife
I suppose that is a bit blunt. The main thing is your line about “we should be comfortable being a top 8 club”. Nope not for me. Or, horse shit
It's funny to think that less than a year ago there were people on here genuinely shitting themselves that Ange would be head hunted by Liverpool
Okay with you now. And I think you’re right. I wonder if Levy might be enough to even put off those types of managers though who maybe just don’t need the hassle
West Ham made the semi that year and would have beaten that Rangers side in the final and the eventual winners Frankfurt drew and lost to us the following year in the CL when we were having problems with Conte. The gulf is fucking huge
Yes! He needed a lieutenant on the pitch who commanded respect.
There were a lot of posts about his motivational skills but let’s be honest we have seen a lot of performances that a motivated team would not call in.
The season after he won the title in Japan he finished bottom half of the table.
That highlights a failure to motivate players. It’s not like he hasn’t failed before. He’s only human.
And motivating your national team and a club team that had won the treble 4x in the 5 seasons prior to him getting there is something most decent managers should be able to do.
He’s in trouble at this point. You can see he’s being asked a lot of questions he doesn’t know the answers too. Pressure is mounting.
He can’t even motivate himself to have a plan B
