Manager Ange Postecoglou

Genuinely pity the people who can't see through Postecoglou. This is the poorest Spurs team I've seen. Some of the coaching issues boarder on Christian Gross levels of incompetence. The idea that more and better players carries this crap to titles tells me you don't understand what you are watching.
I think he will be fired in the summer or sooner. But I'm telling you believers this. He is out of his depth and getting badly exposed. The coaching issues I was highlighting in our win over United away are still there. That's not stubbornness it's simply competency. He'll never work at this level again.

He's an established premier league CB playing in his 2nd season.... You are reaching here mate
Have you not watched all or nothing. Jose tried to rush every single injury back. No Ange fan and do not think he can succeed but don’t make up stuff.
Problem I have is I do not think we have properly diagnosed the problem.
Is Ange tactics a problem? Probably Yes the naivety of failing to foul in the transition and ignoring the smaller parts of the game like set pieces. Can add many more weaknesses.
Is the squad good enough? Of course not it has not been good enough starting XI since 2017/18.
Is Levy the problem? Yes but he has not always been. He did have a plan to drive success at the club but we are pretty much at the end of the plan and the problem is that it ignored the super rich buying Football Clubs.
So to turn the corner we need Levy to retire. A new manager and a massive squad rebuild.
This is a massive job.
Probably Potter I guess.
I actually really liked the idea of Paulo Fonseca but Levy burnt that bridge by fucking him over once Conte was available.
It's alright to want him out, and still perfectly fine to bring across your messages of wanting him out, without constantly insulting the current manager of a club you are supporting with things like fat cunt, dickhead etc.
We can swear at anyone else outside of the club. But doing it to someone who's still part of us, honestly, it just isn't necessary.

He isnt even close -
here is from last year - around this time - in 900 odd mins he wasn't even close to the top - same players are showing similar this year too.
Sorry mate.
Premier League running, sprinting, pressing and speed: Anthony Gordon, Heung-Min Son and Dominik Szoboszlai among table-topping workers
Anthony Gordon, Heung-Min Son, Dejan Kulusevski, Bryan Mbeumo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Bruno Fernandes and Abdoulaye Doucoure identified as top workhorses in Premier League; which teams and players rank top for sprinting, pressing, pace and distance covered?

Oops, pesky facts again.
I'm sure it's Ange's fault again somehow though.

Any of those players have a major hamstring issue?
That same list has him nowhere near one of the league's quickest players either. Which is bullshit, he is the fastest other than Adama.
Pesky facts again mate, we're 11th in the league.
Ange decided to rush him back and he immediately got injured.
Which Ange does need to take some responsibility for.
Doesn't change the fact that we shouldn't be flaking off mid season.
Stavely doesn't exclusively deal with/for the Saudis. She works all over the Middle east and in the States so it could also be a American consortium that she will facilitate a move for.
But not to sound like a debbie downer: I do suspect that Levy will still be involved somehow. Even with new owners, he'll likely be part of the consortium. Especially since it is rumoured to be a partial sale.
But getting some new investors/owners in could make Levy open the purse strings more for all that I know.
He is the fastest. He doesnt have to do anywhere near as many sprints as people think.
Either way he needs to be managed better
Out of everything that frustrates me with him, this is probably the least of my concerns. There’s no good that can come of it except to make the more rabid anti-Levy people happy, and that’s just not worth the fallout.
Levy isn’t going to change how he operates because a coach complains to the media (except to change out the coach), it creates more turmoil in the club, and creates an additional public media storm that is totally unproductive.
This stuff should be done internally and if a coach wants to talk about it later on, okay I guess, but internal issues should always be kept internal.
Adama has him I think .. he could have been a sprinter if he wanted, perfect build. Pretty sure Van De Ven is the fastest recorded but over a 100m Adama would win a PL sprinting contest.
He'd be way better at that than he is at football.
Anyway, bit off topic..
Was he not in the provisional England squad for the Europen championship? Lol. This is an elite first team footballer, there's no question.
There is never a right time to bring back a player with hamstrings issues........worst chronic injury imo for any athlete that has to run

Ange Postecoglou’s unserious Spurs exposed by serious Liverpool | Jonathan Liew
Spurs can win spectacularly and are a lot of fun but they could have had Arne Slot in 2023 and instead have the same pot of relaunched stasis
www.theguardian.com
Tottenham and Liverpool may feel gulfs apart, but in reality they are the eighth- and seventh-richest clubs in the world, fishing in the same water. Tottenham could have had Arne Slot in 2023. Tottenham could have had Díaz in 2022. Tottenham could have assembled a proper backroom structure years ago, instead of leaving their fate in the hands of a spiralling succession of celebrity managers.
But none of this happened, and so what we get instead is salesmanship, the same pot of stasis relaunched in new, more addictive flavours. It’s all going to click soon. At least they didn’t do Woolwich a favour. Ange always wins a trophy in his second season. Europa League, you never know. If you don’t rate his methods, you’re probably racist against Australians. Mikey Moore is going to be one hell of a player. And best of all: only six more years until the year ends in a one again.
