Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I dont blame people on here, we're all just shouting into the void. I do blame the idiots in the stadium singing his name long after it was obvious he was a complete bluffer. They are partially responsible for buying him time and giving Levy a get out. I dont think managers should have songs until they've seriously improved us at the very least.

Spot on. God I would cringe whenever you'd hear that "Postecoglou" song emanate from the south stand. Just lost three on the bounce, we go 1-nil up to Ipswich or whoever and those sheep are straight back to bleating his song again. Obviously then we go on to fail to win the game. This fanbase deserves everything it gets.
 
These are the stats that removed the wool from my eyes , was shocked when I saw them to be honest. The hype had him painted as all-conquering.

Outside of Celtic (comparisons below), a sub 50% win rate is just his thing.

Brisbane Roar: 50%
Melbourne Victory: 47%
Australia: 45%
Yokohama: 49%
Celtic :73%
Tottenham: 49%

Some other comparisons:

Pochettino at Spurs:54%
Tim Sherwood: 50%
The Nuno "disaster" at Spurs: 47%

Brendan Rodgers at Celtic: 70 and 72%
Neil Lennon at Celtic: 70%

Fair on you mate for getting a source but it sounds like conjecture:

"It is also worth noting that sacking him could cost the club £12million and it is very unlike Spurs to part ways with such funds unless it is absolutely necessary."

ie, guesswork based on his salary.

Knowing Levy, and given the fact he'll have known the average length of a manager at Spurs is about 18 months, I'd be shocked if he didn't stipulate any payout would be far lower than the rest of his contract.

Also, didn’t Levy say he wanted to go with a ‘continental’ structure (ie, change coats every few two years or so) - this was before he employed Ange on a long contract, mind you.

So what you’re saying is, Ange did a better job at Celtic?

Ange in.

Ange is doing more damage each week so at the moment we are not that attractive for any worthwhile proven manager only another guy who can't believe his luck he has landed a nice well paid gig with a bumper payoff when he is found out .

Ange is like a Cancer who cause sensible people to say stupid things. He is a cult to his followers from all evidence should have been gone months ago, but his true believers want to give him another week even though we have only won 9 premier league games since May last year.

Ange reminds me of Stellini’s results (and Ramos’ chaos). Mason is just Mason - Sherwood v2 but less arrogant.

I don’t disagree with that. It seems ludicrous at best.
