Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I thought that until yesterday but the teams heads have dropped and i dont think the senior players are playing for him. Yesterday Everton could have had 6 or 7 it was that shambolic. We have 1 league win in 10 games and that was Southampton. If (big if) Wolves and Ipswich string a couple of wins together then we're in big trouble. We still have to go to Anfield and Stamford Bridge, City at home and trips to said Ipswich and Wolves.

I agree to an extent. No argument.

But as yet nothing, so what is going on?
 
Ange has to go but it has to be an entire clear out for me. Put the board themselves to one side for a moment, and just looking at the coaching set up - the only way I want Mason in charge is if it’s a case of he takes us for the Leicester game because our coach isn’t a available until just after.

Our coaching set up is woeful. Mason is a good bloke, I harbour no ill will toward him and I originally liked the idea of including him, but he needs to go to the lower leagues where he can hold more responsibility and actually be a manager himself, make his own mistakes and learn his trade a bit. It would be great to have someone like him at a lower league club where we can loan some of our youth players to for instance.

However Ange needs to go and he needs to take his coaches with him, I know he didn’t bring his own, but the two he’s ended up with who also came from the Scottish league (was it Motherwell or somewhere?) need to be gone too.

I can’t believe that a club the size of ours has ended up with this pub team management group. Get a proper head coach in, some proper assistances, get a set piece coach as for crying out loud despite the nonsense Ange says set pieces are indeed important and let’s actually have a professional level set up again.
 
Levy needs to act now. We need a change to simply attempt to secure enough points. If it's not several new and better players (lol) then he has to change the manager, even if it's something "boring" in the short term. Ange is not the long term solution anyway, so better to change now to try and avoid complete disaster.
 
It is quite funny people who backed the manager and now getting blamed as if we have the power to affect things the board do😂

Well it’s nonsense in all directions as the people who have said he wasn’t up to it have been attacked and called gooners and not true fansfor months on end.

I think everyone here is a fan, and it’s winds me up no end when people on here get personal to each other - no need for it. Direct the anger at the club.
 
A lot of those nobodies Bournemouth have would be great signings, however I think some of our fanbase don't have the patience to make those signings. If we'd have signed Kerkez and Seymenyo they'd be getting pelters.

There is a section of the fan base which is patient with it.. the likes of Sarr and Udogie for example. However the moment we lose a match the amount of tweets I see saying "buy championship players, get championship results" is embarrassing.
One thing I've learned through all my years cruising forums and message boards, is that most Spurs fans don't know their arse from their elbow when it comes to player signings.
I never pretend to know anything about most of the players we sign. Some act like they're world wide superscouts who watch every players entire career. X player will be massive for us, game changing, this will make us 'uge"
X is shit.
Same old shit every window. People making out like they know what they're on about when they don't.

Hmmm
 
They aren't sacking him are they.

Just seems like business as usual today.

The board and Levy are proper useless wankers. Just wtf are they doing?

Yesterday was the most sack worthy performance I have seen for many years. How one earth is he surviving yet again?
 
I've said this before but it's always worth repeating.

West Ham, Villa and Newcastle all got relegated because they all stuck with terrible, awful managers for too long.
Rivalries to one side, none of them should ever be getting relegated. It can happen. It will happen to us the longer we wait. This season less likely but possible. If we were stupid enough to give him next season as well, I'd say we'd be one of the more likely to go down. Especially if the sides that come up are fairly strong. The current top 6 of the Championship all have PL experience.

1-4 vs Chelsea
2-1 vs Wolves
1-2 Vs West Ham
4-2 Vs Brighton
1-2 vs Wolves
3-0 Vs Fulham
4-0 Vs Newcastle
2-3 Vs Arse (3 down)
2-0 Vs Chelsea (they had the injury crisis, not us)
4-2 vs Liverpool (4 down)

Those are just last seasons embarrassments. Any of them sack worthy when you actually look at the performance and the circumstances. Like teams with massive injury problems twatting us a full strength.
The man is killing us.
 
To the tune of "Oh when the Spurs go marching in". It's nowhere near Ed Vanderlay levels. In lyrical terms, think of me as Ange to his Pep. But every little helps to flush this turd down the U-ey right?

"Oh when he goes"
"Oh when he goes"
"Oh when he fucks right out our club"
"We'll do a con-ga on the Darewalk"
"Oh we he fucks right out our club"

"He's got a suit"
"He's got a suit"
"He's got a suit that doesn't fit"
"He's got cough, looks down, and grumbles"
"Cos his team are fuckin shit"

"He's on the porn"
"He's on the porn"
"He's on the porn at Hotspur Way"
"He doesn't coach, improve or train them"
"You can see it in our play"

[all together]

"Oh when he goes"
"Oh when he goes"
"Oh when he's marched out from this club"
"I wanna be on those Go-Karts"
"Oh when he's marched out from this club"

That Fulham defeat was horrendous.

Fuck me, he really is the worst manager we have ever had. I can't believe the club fell for his nonsense and continue to do so.
 
Usually I don’t listen to Bosnich but you’ve got to assume as he knows the manager, that he’s got a bit of an inside track. We can’t leave it until after Villa in the cup though surely? But it is something I could see levy doing to shift the blame.

“I believe, come the first week of February, the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool, followed by the Aston Villa tie in the FA Cup, will decide his fate. I can understand exactly what they said about injuries and so forth. A lot of those injuries are muscular injuries, as far as I am concerned, people should start doing a little bit of investigating work, in terms of what are they doing in training. A lot of them look shot to pieces. It’s a high-energy game that he plays. That’s all well and good when you are playing well. But, when you are playing every three days, things aren’t going well, and people are suspended or injured. We have said it a million times, you need alternative ways of playing. They have a chance of redemption. That first week of February will decide his fate.”
