This whole experience is making me realise how cults and flat earth become a thing. The mass delusion is like nothing I've ever experienced before, all because this bloke has a bit of "charisma". Spurs fanbase would have been right in behind Hitler & Mussolini I can tell you that for free.

What's really bizarre is that he's probably the least charismatic manager we've ever had.

I don’t know what the answer is anymore. We’re in free fall in the league and it’s fucking scary. Sack the manager but it’ll be the same again. The club is fucked. It’s a cesspit for businessman to make a quick buck.

Thing is how have we let it get to this? The signs were there last season. The first few months of this season also highlighted issues. November / December was prbly the time to hit the button. But we didn’t and now if we do who’s gonna salvage anything. Palace are now 3 points ahead! Just let that sink in. The gap between us and top is increasing all the time. Bmouth, with 10 players injured are 13 points ahead of us that is 5 games. Let that sink but some here abd in the fan base and you tubers are absolutely in denial and make excuse after excuse.

We can't allow Ange the opportunity to win the league cup if this league form continues. Levy will feel obliged to keep him for next season, even if we finish 17th in the table. Nothing will improve under this bloke. He has to go today.

No if he wins it we should bin him anyway. Look what happened at manure with ETH. Say thanks for the cup, you keep your supposed record of ALWAYS winning in his second season but we want to go in a different direction. One which has a manager who knows what they are doing.
If his win something in his second season how many trophies has he won?

Never been a fan of Silva personally, however we definitely need to go all in for Iraola. The likelihood of that happening and him wanting to leave mid season is extremely slim.

Worryingly, there doesn’t seem to be anyone decent available atm.

His the man, team is in 6th , 13 points ahead of Ange with no where near the budget and has a bunch of injuries as well.

A few caveats are in order - the squad is average, I honestly think it's a top eight squad, nothing more; it needs major surgery.

However even allowing for that Ange is underperforming - three things seem clear to me, two of them undisputable at this stage:

1. Ange wants to play front-foot, attacking football, all the time
2. Ange and his team cannot (or are entirely unwilling to) organise a defence
3. There is no in game management to any serious level (and this is more debatable, I think)

Two and three make his position untenable.

Also don't get the cult around him - one to one he might be an OK guy, I don't know, but he comes over as prickly, arrogant, sullen and boorish; entirely unable to take on board different views and opinions. I get the impression of a strong-willed guy who has managed to impose his personality at a lower level, but when more sophistication is needed, he's found wanting.

Anyway, give him 'til Liverpool CC 2nd leg, then if we're booted out a caretaker can come in to the end of the season. Mason, Doris the Tea Lady, Levy's secret lovechild, fuck knows any more.

To be honest I’ve not seen any front football for ages. Infact I can’t remember where we were at it from min one and really going at the oppo.

Nailed it right here.

A long neglected, under invested mess put together by owners with absolutely zero ambition to compete and managed by a cheap unqualified journeyman just grateful to be here.

We really do deserve so much better

But we have a whole bunch of new players since Ange joined. Is the player selection the problem. If so who is responsible for that?

He’s employed right now but like I said if he got fired right now, I don’t see him swimming with PL offers.

I think Nuno may well be a catalyst for any future ex spurs managers to getting offers.

If anyone thinks our club doesn't have a reputation for completely letting down managers with the transfer strategy and penny pinching, and probably many other issues, they're out to lunch.

The levels of delusion are just off the charts. Appointed at the same time, one has taken his team from perennial relegation strugglers to the fringes of the champions league, the other has taken a team that has finished top 8 for pretty much every season for 20 years and has them in 15th. These lunatics would be the sort following a guru at some ranch in the mid West.

If you think that wouldn’t happen at this club, it’s you that’s deluded bro
