Because I rate him and I don’t like what will eventually happen to him here.

Levy has created a culture of manager churn and you see on here how this fanbase acts towards coaches.

This fanbase?

Mate .. if Ange was managing any other top 6 club they'd be burning effigies of him right now. He's fucking lucky to be here, its by far the biggest, best paid job of his career. And he still has fans in the stadium bizarrely singing his name. The guy is insanely fortunate.

I promise you that you don't need to feel sorry for these guys. They're grown adults making grown adult choices and getting insanely well rewarded for it.

This is from a Scottish mate of mine back in 2023:

‘On a personal level his whole "mate, mate" thing got old quite quickly, and he revealed himself to be quite a chippy guy whenever scrutinised. He's a bit of a master at getting people to eat out of the palm of his hand though so it might fly under the radar a bit in future. I think even if he does a poor job at Spurs and gets sacked he'll probably go on and get the Barcelona job or something, because he's got a whole cult leader vibe in terms of his own persona and his "footballing vision". There's Ange Postecoglou the football manager, and then there's Big Ange the package, and Big Ange the package will get him big jobs.‘

It’s shocking how all of this came true.

Ange or not, we probably need a cult like figure to work here. Poch was a cult like leader as well. Klopp also very cult leader in style.

Hating on the idea of a manager being a cult leader is especially dumb because fandom is about being in a cult

Because none of our opponents players fell over, and they were never so far ahead in the game that they switched off so we had an opportunity to grab a couple before they got serious again...

I said it before the game: we are not entertaining at the moment. Fulham, Bournemouth and Rangers was more of the same shite. We have no answer to organised, focused teams. Teams who are equally chaotic and inept yes, we can score a lot against.

I didn’t say I feel sorry for anyone.

There are a lot of ties between Spurs and City Football Group. For Postecoglou to get the Man City job he'd have to get Spurs upright by the end of the season (assuming Pep were to leave) or the fans there wouldn't be having it. But he has the ties to City Football Group, having managed the Yokohama Marinos for them and a lot of his system fits with what Guardiola does at City. The biggest obstacles would be if Pep left before the season ended, or took a leave of absence, and the damage that Postecoglou may be doing to his reputation this season with all the "No Plan B" talk. It could happen, but I think it would only be about a 5% chance. Now, if Pep stays for his contract and Postecoglou doesn't implode somewhere along the way it might be a possibility at the end of next season.

Had so many people fooled too. Used to absolutely like whore with his comments telling everyone what they wanted to hear and making it sound sensible. Farming likes I call it. A mix of come on you spurs and oh aren't these doubters silly, maybe they're gooners! And you're good to go.

I agree, and not to belabour the point but Iraola seems of a Poch mould, likely to stick around and make best use of what we have.
