Saw this post from Trix on SC just now

As for the coaches something I've heard and posted bts is that they aren't overly happy with things. They are basically told what they have to achieve, ie, this is what the end result must be, and then Ange walks off and they are left to get on with it. They believe they've had to abandon the fundamentals to a large degree, and are very uncertain how to get to the point Ange wants because he's not telling them how to.

Jesus fucking christ. I mean, I knew Ange was hands off, but this just shows what a clueless fraud we actually have. And it mirrors exactly what we are seeing on the pitch. No wonder we look such a mess and lose games left right and centre.

Yeah, that would explain it all.

You read that and it suddenly makes sense of why the way we play makes no sense.

Look whether he makes it up or not, I don't know. If he has, he's kept up the blag for years.

I don't believe he makes it up, but everyone has their own opinions.

I do think the donation thing is dodgy though, and I think A&C is one of the biggest wankers on the internet.

Finally, something we can bond over

Right? Even in the politics thread? He tried to school me on something I do for a living - was hilarious.

I didn't get banned for that though.... got banned cos I called A&C a cunt in a DM to someone else after he went off on them, and he fucking read my DM and banned me.

That's the kind of cunts that run that site - to be fair A&C would be right at home here except he is a big baby that can't handle being called names.

I had to bite my tongue so many times with Trix, but he's protected on there.

So A&C actually reads DMs sent between members on the forum? That is nasty work, what a cunt. I actually heard a rumour that he did that, you won't have been the only one.

Whenever I had any imited interaction with Rob, he was always alright but he's very hands off. He leaves the day to day running to A&C who was always the one who seemed to get a hard on for banning people. He's just a prick plain and simple, and what tops it off is he's completely clueless about football with the worst takes.

Aw ya you and Doomskies are even better buddies- I heard you all rode bikes and went for ice cream the other day. What prize did you get in your cracker jacks? I'm only green away from collecting all the secret decoder lenses!

I bought him a 99 flake and he ended up getting it all over his face and ruining his good shirt

I wasn't best pleased but I can't stay mad at him for long

Trix has been right numerous times and definitely knows some agents (if he's being honest about his sources... but he definitely has a source/s).

Cant see that. If Lange or Paratici go to him or Levy and say we have to make a change then they will. I still think its investment or successor already lined up for the summer that is delaying the inevitable.

Interesting, what do you mean by investment? Like, someone taking a stake of Spurs? And why would that delay the sacking of Ange, presumably a low finish in the league (and possible relegation fight) would threaten any investment, if anything?

Yeah he deffo reads DM’s as this is what got me banned too.

I got into a disagreement with ‘What lies beneath’ as he was slagging off Dragon1 for disagreeing with him, I just mentioned that Dragon1 did have things he had called correctly in the past, and WLB (surely should be ‘What a load of bollocks?’) had a tantrum about being challenged.

Someone on the site PM’d me saying they couldn’t see the issue and they agreed with what I’d said, I mentioned that it wouldn’t surprise me if I lost access as I’d questioned ITK and said that A&C would be along soon with his small man syndrome. A&C then banned me and sent me an email which you can’t reply to telling me it had “dropped into their inbox” and because of me saying he had small man syndrome I was banned. Best bit is he calls you names in the email he knows there no reply function for, thus proving he does indeed have small man syndrome 😄

Absolutely weird little micro penis, sex offender of a man.

bringing back romero and vdv for chelski is clear evidence to me

For that to be true it would mean that;

1. The medical team told Ange that the players weren't ready and he ignored them.
2. Romero and VDV both told Ange they still weren't 100% and he also ignored them.

Do you honestly believe that?

These weren't slight knocks that players can play through with an injection, these were both long term significant injuries.

Romero's 2nd injury wasn't even related to the first....

Just guesswork really to try and make sense of this bizzare situation but anyone coming in might want a say on who is appointed next, for example rumours when Staveleys name was being mooted that she would want Eddie Howe. They were meant to be cutting the wage bill in the summer to make the books look good for any investors and again paying off Ange and his coaching team will increase costs plus any payout for a replacement. Maybe far fetched but has to be more realistic than them thinking Ange has any future here.

i'm not a medic or a spurs insider but i've just never seen a club bring back two injured players like that before and that's probably because they're likely to get re-injured just like they did. they weren't match fit and should've been eased back in separately especially since they play the same position. in my experience that's the conventional wisdom on this.
