Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The Brighton game was the turning point 2 nil up and comfortable....we should have closed that fucking game down
That’s what I said on a previous post if he’d adapt to situations in games he’d get away with a lot in terms of patience up 2-0 away to Brighton who the fuck was going to criticise him if we’d spent the entire 2nd half keeping the ball sit back force Brighton on to us catch them on the break, but no he’d to go kamikaze style and fuck it up.

Wasn't even kamikaze. They came out in a different mood. They change a few things up and they won every duel all over the pitch. They were taking the ball off us and playing through/around us with ease. And it was obvious.
But he stood there with his hands in his pockets. Wasn't it this one that he said he didn't make changes because he wanted the players to live with it?
 
So what?

Youre talking about losing a game of football? It happens. Didn't Chelsea just lose 2-0 Ipswich with a team that probably cost twice what ours did?

There is a difference between losing a game of football, and your form falling off the edge of a cliff.

We beat City after the Ipswich loss and were 3 points off 3rd. We were not picking up a worthy amount of points but no one, bar Liverpool was.

Our form before the City game and after the City game could not have a more stark contrast.

I literally said its Anges job to figure out a solution - if he can't then its on him - but that doesnt mean the root cause of the problem doesn't exist?

So what? Add it to the second half v Leicester, second half v Brighton, Palace away...we played some awful stuff with our first choice players. No consistency, the same defensive issues regardless of who plays (attack our right side). Injuries obviously make it worse, but the problem is the coach. He is the root cause of the problem.
 
LOOOOOOL
omg!!! they are taking the absolute piss out of him now hahaha. wow!

"familiar story"...oh my god!!!

At least he comes out swinging ; which is what we need to do right now . IMO .

Always remember Nice Guys finish second.

Don’t get me wrong; he may ultimately prove not to be up to the task in hand : but he’s the incumbent manager and I don’t blame him for getting a bit feisty in post-match interviews ( with people who are paid to bait rather than understand) .

At the point at we’re at : Unleash Ange ; is what I say .

Bring it on .

Exactly

How he, or any coach, finds a solution without reinforcements or injured players back i have no idea.

1000%

Fuck these clowns and their narratives and fuck these fucking refs as well. Call it all out, get it out in the open
 
Probably hoping he resigns when they dont buy him anyone or does a Conte so they can sack him without compo.
Did Conte get sacked without comp?? First I've heard of that. He only had 6 months left on his deal anyway from what I remember.

In any case, I'm not really sure I buy this theory. We went for Ange in the first place partly because he was cheap, and coming from the SPL he had little leverage over his wage, certainly less than a Mourinho or Conte. This was by far the biggest job of his career and you'd have to think his salary would reflect that (Conte was on 17m, Ange only 4m per year iirc).

And I'm sure that Levy being who he is, and knowing that the average shelf-life of a manager under him is around 18 months, he'd have stipulated a pretty mediocre payoff were Ange to be sacked. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some clauses in his contract stipulating league position too, ie, if we're bottom half he only gets £2m or whatever.

When you compare all this to our lost revenues were we to finish in the bottom half, commercial and TV, it pales in comparison. I see no financial argument for keeping Postecoglou in post whatsoever.
 
I didn't say that. It was a terrible window.
But league cup aside, Ramos was an awful coach before they went.
10 wins from 28 games WITH Berbatov and Keane. That's probably why the pair of them left.
Redknapp sorted that shit show out in no time. Ramos did nothing of any significance thereafter.
Literally walked in the to Real Madrid job somehow for 6 months then was sacked, few menial jobs ever since and nothing for 9 years.
He was the epitome of a journeyman coach. 18 jobs, all of which were 1-2 year stints.
There were rumours that the time the only reason his Seville side did well was the structure above him. Levy, in his infinite wisdom, took the wrong part of the success at that club.

We're actually at a point now, where our last 8 aren't much worse than Ramos' either.
He has the famous 2 points from 8.
We have 4 from 8 games and the same number of losses.
In fact it's 4 points from 9 games. 5 from 10.
We really are as bad as we were when we sacked Ramos.

I bet even then there were some fans who backed him and wanted him to stay. Just nowhere near as many as the insane Angebois we have now.
A mostly forgotten bit of trivia- Juande Ramos was the Dnipro manager when we played them under Sherwood in 2014.
 
its actually amazing. this guys the biggest fool you'll ever see in football.

hes so clueless its painful to watch. the chelsea 9 men just completely exposed him as not being a football person, that was sooo fucking bad its unforgivable, he legit thinks its about firing players up and being aggressive loool.


the funny thing is, most fans havent got a clue either, as a lot still dont get how significant that chelsea game was, we hadnt even lost a game till that point and fans straight away would of wanted him out after that as thats the biggest red flag youll ever see in the game. its still quite unbelievable.

only daniel levy could oversee this.

LOOOOOOOL. that is not the workings of a football manager.

Up until this point I thought your average fan probably had a vague idea of what they were watching on the pitch. You know, basic tactics, common sense. Especially the ones who'd been watching the sport for 30-40 years and had thousands of games under their belt.

But the reaction this absolute fucking mess of a match—and from all corners, not just Spurs fans—was a real shock. Never seen anything more stupid take place on a football pitch in my life, and yet you have the sheep in the stadium clapping like seals, and all the pundits cooing like they'd just witnessed Guardiola reinvent the wheel.

Now I think most people I think just watch football with their brain disengaged; to them it's just a bunch of different coloured shirts running around, a chance to yell at the TV, and you cheer when the ball goes in the right net. Only way you can explain the absolute insanity we're seeing now too, where most of the fans are still backing this charlatan. No wonder we're fucking doomed as a species.
