Can't see him walking. Ange has massive belief in himself, and with some justification.

It's not working at Spurs, he can tell himself that it's all down to injuries, but I think most of us can see that the jump in quality between the EPL and other leagues he's managed in, is just too big.

He will also know that unless he turns it around at Spurs, then he's not likely to get another shot at the big time.

So I think Ange won't jump but will have to be pushed.
Pushed off the Darewalk? With safety harness breaking force?
 
Ffs, just got an email from the club....

"Experience a legends tour with Michael Dawson"

Don't fucking email me again until it announces the change!!


This is exactly why that clown sat there on Sky Sports yesterday and said Ange is the right man for the job. Too scared to upset the apple cart and miss out on the gravy train by criticising Levy or Ange. Pathetic

It's got nothing to do with belief. Managers contracts are fucking dumb. They will not resign no matter how bad they are or the perilous position their presence puts the team in.
It absolutely disgusts me that someone can be so bad and not be sacked on the spot without so much as a few weeks wages.

And BTW, I blame your lot for this mess. If they hadn't taken him out of his actual level, we'd never have heard of him and never have gone for him. This mass delusion that he's an actual elite football manager wouldn't be a thing.
Being Ange-in for THFC is no different to being convinced Raygun deserved to be at the Olympics, let alone win them.
 
There is not a single doubt in my mind that the board have already had at least one crisis meeting and almost certainly would have had another one last night or early this morning. It's just a matter of when over the next 2 weeks he'll be gone. Probs a ton of paperwork that needs to be addressed to get someone in for a stop gap. I imagine they'll sack him just before or just after the Leicester game.

I hope you are right.

Trix on SC (I know I know) but fwiw, said the board are split at the moment between keep or sack. Ultimate decision with Levy obviously.

Also said the feelers are already out for a new manager.
 
McKenna

Allegri

Terzic, Iraola or Frank
A big no to McKenna and Allegri. Terzic came within a whisker of beating Bayern to the title and got to a champions league final which can’t be sniffed at so he’s definitely of interest. Frank,I’m not sure about. Tottenham is too big in my opinion for him.

Iraola is the one that i have the biggest interest in. His Bournemouth are a great watch but are also hard to beat. 22 games in and only lost 5 games. That’s incredible for a club like Bournemouth.

Could we entice Xavi or Alonso? In my opinion no chance.

I do believe Ange will still be in charge to the summer but even though I don’t like to see people lose their jobs but his time is up surely.

Strange post. With us he won 5 out of the six domestic trophies available, and got very close to the one that got away.

If he has been taken out of his actual level - and it appears that he has- then it was done by Spurs not Celtic
 
Might not be the most popular decision but I’d bring Rafa Benitez until the end of the season as interim. He plays crap football but would steady the ship and give us a fighting chance in the cups. In the summer land whoever the club feels is the best manager to take us forward (Iraola etc).

not a single whisper of substance in any one of those articles, unfortunately.

I really don't think anyone has any ITK on what the board thinks - it would obviously be strictly confidential meetings. You'll get some people who'll say their palm, face, vocal tone readers, etc, etc and will say they picked up this that or the other from an interaction with some higher up, but the true is no one knows any of the details do they. It's just hold your nerve, find something to get your mind off this mess and wait and see! :ange-blow:
 

They were not so keen on helping Poch. Why the fuck would they help this Aussie cunt who was more concerned about helping Woolwich win the league last season than the fact he lost 4/5 games before it.

So if we take his league record for 2024 which is 16w 5D 16L so his points total is 53 points. So we would be 9th in the table. Poch was fired after 14 losses in a calendar year but there was some incredible bad luck in that time like the goal keeper injuring his elbow in the only battering in that period.

Brighton were the only team to score 3 goals against us. Ange Postecoglou has had his defence concede 3 or more goals 7 times in 2024 that is astonishingly bad form. Conte in his reign at Spurs with Dier and Lenglet only conceded 3 or more goals against us 7 times and Mourinho only conceded 3 or more goals 5 times. Poch conceded 3 goals in a game 11 times in the Premier League in his tenure and 7 were in his first season.

We also had something to build on after Poch’s first season. While after more than 18 months all I can see is the fear of relegation, with Postecoglou. The fact is it is almost 3 months since I have seen us win at home.
