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.

ChatGPT - please write me some fake ITK that sounds believable but is completely generalised about whether or not the spurs board will be sacking ange - consider that there is very little news out in the open about it and he is not yet sacked


ITK Update:

Hearing mixed whispers from within Spurs about Ange’s situation. While there’s no official word yet, the board is said to be carefully assessing the club’s direction under his leadership. Some higher-ups are reportedly pleased with the broader style of play and the long-term vision he’s brought, but there’s concern about recent performances and whether the team can realistically achieve its objectives this season.

One source suggests the board remains divided—some see this as a transitional phase, while others worry the current form could lead to more unrest among the fans and players if things don’t improve. A sacking isn’t imminent as of now, but the next few fixtures could be pivotal in shaping their decision.
 
We’ve scored a lot of goals? I thought the fact we can look pretty for short times was about the only thing anyone can say positive about Ange?
I just disagree that it's been pretty, despite a few goal gluts, I feel like we've been an awful watch this season. The neutrals enjoy us because it's chaosball and there's always likely to be a few goals, not because we are playing good football.

For it to be a compliment to Ange, it would have to be on display consistently, rather than just in flashes.
 
I have written the next 5 years off . I am now hoping Jan Vertonghen becomes a decent manager and he joins us and brings back the joy .

2030 Super Jan time

Thinking anything good can be achieved in the next 5 years with ENIC is now beyond me

Chat GPT - make sure to include a line about Levy too and something about available managers -


Hearing mixed whispers from within Spurs about Ange Postecoglou’s situation. While there’s no official word yet, the board is said to be carefully assessing the club’s trajectory under his leadership. Some within the hierarchy remain impressed by the style of play and the long-term vision Ange has implemented, but there’s growing concern about recent results and whether they align with the club’s ambitions for the season.

While Levy is thought to admire Ange’s philosophy, he’s also conscious of fan sentiment but he’s not yet fully convinced that now is the right time.

Another factor in play is the availability of potential replacements. There’s talk that Spurs have begun to quietly sound out a shortlist of managers, but no concrete moves have been made.
 
What I don't understand is if Levy isn't going to sack Ange then why isn't he backing him?
I could understand the position if we had some outfield players signed the first week of the window but the fact our only signing has been a GK speaks volumes , if your not going to sack or back him then what is the plan??

Yes I might have been expecting a couple in early. However its still true that as many as 50% of all transfers happen in last week or so of a January transfer window.

And whether its Ange or any other manager, they will still need more fit players than we have at the moment, and with Solanke now out, its not enough to hope for an early return of only Romero and Van de Ven in late January 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

That sounds like the vast majority of articles that get written by today's journos
 
McKenna

Allegri

Terzic, Iraola or Frank
Hope this is true… maybe not all the candidates but that we have at least lined people up. My gut tells me it’s not true though.
 
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.
Iraola is the one. But even I appreciate how hard it will be to get him before the end of the season when they're clearly playing for a European place for the first time ever.
I worry we're SO bad now we have to pull the trigger ASAP which means we miss out on him. One of those times where we're destined to miss out due to bad timing. He has a bright future that one.
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
Winning the title up there is even less of an achievement than whatever stupid named team he won it with in Aus.
The Scottish Premiership doesn't even feature in the world wide top 20 leagues. To put it in perspective, IN the top 20 are the Belgian league, US Major League, English Championship, Danish league, Czech League, German 2nd tier, Spanish 2nd tier, Italian 2nd tier, Swiss league and the Polish league.
The Scottish Premiership is closer to the pub leagues in Aus and Japan than the PL in every respect other than geography. By bringing Postecoglu over, they gave him exposure to the British media. The fact a coma patient could win a treble in a 1 team league says it all.
But yes, we should NEVER have taken this gamble. Many fans knew it was a risky to outright reckless appointment.
 

:ange-arms:

If you can keep your head when all about you​

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,​

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,​

But make allowance for their doubting too;​

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,​

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,​

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,​

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:​

:ange-arms:

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;​

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster​

And treat those two impostors just the same;​

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken​

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,​

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,​

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:​

:ange-arms:

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,​

And lose, and start again at your beginnings​

And never breathe a word about your loss;​

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew​

To serve your turn long after they are gone,​

And so hold on when there is nothing in you​

Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’​

:ange-arms:

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,​

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,​

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,​

If all men count with you, but none too much;​

If you can fill the unforgiving minute​

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,​

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,​

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!​
