Manager Ange Postecoglou
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Not to judge, but I'm sure I've seen him state on numerous occasions that he didn't actually watch games...
Which is about the only reason I can imagine anyone would still be Ange In, so stands to reason.
OK, we sack him today. The squad is currently on it's knees, they are visually knackered (which is being touted as them 'downing tools' which of course is ridicules). The injured players, out for months, won't be back up to speed from the off. They will obviously need time to get back to their best
Meaning; Over the next two months, what would a new manager change? Moreover, how could anyone change anything the way the squad is currently (someone said the other day that we should be starting Yang, Moore and Lankshear and that they would relieve the fatigue. No honestly, they really did)
"Is Ange the right man?"
"He just isn't good enough"
"His squad has been decimated so it could be argued that he hasn't had the chance to perform"
"Ange is to blame for the current state of the squad"
We may well see the current manager lose his job and on form, again, the fan base will be right back here in 18 months. Sure, we are in 15th place in the league right now but does it really matter where we finish? Honestly?
Say we did finish in the top 4 this season/any season, would you say we are going to win the Champions League? Are we set up to win? Win anything? Ever?
Obviously the answer is no. No we aren't set up to win anything. We haven't been set up to win anything for years so what does it matter where we finish in the league, which cups we get knocked out of?
"Ah yes well, if we finish in the top 4, we can sign better players", which of course is a massive bubble, right? I mean, ask yourself, who have we signed when we have played champions League that are these so called 'better players' ????
We sign a new manager today and we are back here again in 18 months, slating off the players, the staff, even each other. Again, does it matter who the current/next manager is?
Look, I honestly believe that everyone on this forum only wants what is best for this club. The count offs happen but the reason they do is born from a place of wanting what is best. But surely this cycle is obvious to even the count-offyest among us, no?
I saw a stat about we’ve only got 30 points from a possible 87 points I believe running into the back end of last season.
I don’t know what we’re waiting for. It is lovely football at times going forward but every team knows what we do, the team has been found out and Ange doesn’t have a plan b.
We do not have enough quality to keep digging us out of holes like Kane used to and we’re leaking more goals than ever.
We need to get serious about this relegation battle, you can’t feel confident in them winning any game at the moment. 1 point in the last 5 games, we have an all out attacking manager that doesn’t know how to play defensively and the only way you get yourself out of a relegation battle is by tightening up at the back and stop leaking so many goals.
Romero and Van Der Ven will not miraculously solve our issues if they come back to a team that’s been battered every week and low on confidence.
We really need a caretaker manager that knows the premier league well to step in until the end of the season at this point

No club journo is going to ask the hard questions, come on now
He is pretty patient but this isn't the first time he's spoke out against them in his articles.
Maybe just gambling that we’ll win a few when players return and we bin him off the end of the season.
The fans will turn on Ange though. Sunday could get very toxic.
because the majority of the fans are fucking idiots. you realise talking to people about football that only a small % actually know what the fuck they are talking about. a lot of 'fans' use it as a pastime, its not really a true passion.
As far as sacking him, none, he should be gone.
It just amuses me that people are using it in his defence, like, no, that makes his performance even worse!
And only weeks before, we came up against a team down to 9 men.
We toiled all match and barely had a sniff until an injury time OG.
And Liverpool had a good chance to snatch a win before we scored our winner.
Like I say, I wasn't convinced DURING the mythical 10, much less since them.
we couldnt beat a non league side in 90 mins....we can literally lose to any professional team.
So ange is staying. Levy obviously thinks the bad form is down to injuries then .
Worrying about whether a new manager will or won't work out in 18 months time is not an excuse to sleepwalk into the championship.
Abused partner syndrome
Keep getting beat up because leaving him/her could be worse than staying.
