Fucking sack him already.

Either he has incriminating evidence on the board or more likely there's probably some clause that if they do it after a certain date they have to pay him off less money or something...maybe Ange asked for a clause that they can't sack him while he's still got a chance of winning a trophy after what they did to Jose.
 
Like I said, most of that is BECAUSE they are based in the US. For example, the Clippers are not worth alot because they are successful.... its just the market of LA they are based in. Making the super league does not mean it will make the value of the teams go higher. If you implement salary caps and no relegation to football the whole dynamics can change in a league and will become like the MLS. It will sure fill the pockets of the owners for sure though.
Well, it's less about the US base and more about the financial structure. The NBA markets and sells its property as a collective. Instead of each team trying to get what they can out of Nike/Adidas/Puma/etc., the league sells it's merchandising deal as a whole to Nike and each team shares in that revenue.

It stabilizes the finances of each club, and eliminating relegation protects every clubs' values from catastrophe. Similar to a labor union, the bargaining power of the collective is greater than the individual. The PL does this with its broadcast agreements, and because of this became the richest league in the world.
 
Avram Grant and Bobby Di Matteo once won big things with the Chavs iirc...didn't make them elite managers and they rightly got the sack soon after

Come on, look at the players those managers had at Chelsea, proven winners, culture of success, owners that bought their way to success

This club is not built to win anything, the current players have shown no sign of having the balls to win anything, just look at the forward players we have, probably the worst set of attackers we've had at the club since 1997...... yes the league form has been unacceptable but it will be a miracle if Ange manages to win a trophy with this lot. Doesn't make him elite but no need to disrespect what would be a big achievement at this moment in the clubs history.
 
Carragher going pretty easy on him in MNF but he did say we looked like and under 18s team where it didn’t matter if we won yesterday and he kind of repeated that. Petit said he feels sorry for spurs fans, we aren’t the team we should be.

I think that Munn and Ange have successfully conned Levy into thinking that injuries are the reason we are shit.

If Levy knew anything about football he would have sacked Ange at HT yesterday. The way he set the team up in that first half was even worse than Nuno away at Woolwich (also 3-0), total football ignorance. But he doesn’t know anything about football, so here we are.

I just cannot get past this, or what his thinking was.

NFL is the richest in the world. The finances I think I've mentioned before that it is structured so that the owners can make money in the US... and US base plays an absolute role in their worth. Do you think the New York Knicks are worth 9-10 billion because of their fanbase and success? No way.

Creating the Super League can fill their pockets for sure, but for what is in it for us? We are already considered wealthy in current standard and still can't win anything. It will not make us anymore wealthier or a better team because we are in the super league. We would probably be the laughing stock.
 
If he wins 2 trophies in one season
He won't.

he’s the best Spurs manager in the Premier League era.
He's not. Never was, never will be.

Sport is about winning, not what Jaynola on TFC forum thinks are “good tactics”.
The old make it personal when you're literally out of anything remotely intelligent to say. Kudos, pal.



Ps: Roberto Martinez's Wigan won the FA Cup in 2013, beating Roberto Mancini's City. If you can catch my drift.
 
Somehow pinching a league or FA cup would me me as a fan over the moon but wouldn't mean as much to me as the 2016/17 season did where Spurs were the best team in the country and only didn't win the title because Chelsea didn't have Europe and we had a few very costly draws early on.

Sustained league competitiveness is the ultimate goal. Trophies usually come hand in hand - unless you're Lego Head

We have a Lego head.
 
If he wins 1 trophy is he a better manager than Poch? Or Jol or Redknapp. None of them won anything.
Don't you understand, pal...if he wins us a trophy, it automatically means he's God's gift to football and Spurs. Can't be cause of the players, luck etc. Nah he's obviously a genius.

But on the other hand, when he loses (which he does often), it's evidently cause the refs, media and other teams' fans are against us. And our players are shit, injured etc.

Praise him to fuck when he wins, absolve him of any wrongdoing when he loses.

Richard Arlison Richard Arlison you're obviously entitled to your opinion and fuck me, you may be proven right at the end...but right now your blind defending of Ange - despite everything pointing to him being the worst manager we've ever had - reminds me of how LP used to come up with the most ridiculous ways of backing Levy despite the bald that's crystal clear failings.
