A year or two ago I would agree with you. But now I’m not so sure . You are on a hiding to nothing managing this club now. Your bank balance will improve but your CV won’t.

Spot on. All managers have egos and think they'll be the ones to handle Levy and bring success. End of that day as well its money so even if sacked after 18 months they get a big fat pay off. Nuno and Conte are proving being sacked here is hardly career ending. Competing against other wealthy clubs for them is a different matter but City, Arse, Chelsea, Liverpool and probably Utd and Newcastle wont be looking for new managers come summer so as far as the prem goes it will be a free field.
Not after a lower half of the table finish. The fact is you no longer have what Poch did at the club as a recent over shadowing. A large part of the fan base seem to be catatonic as we slip towards a relegation fight.
At the end of the day it almost feels like the life has been slowly sucked out of the club. That was why I backed Ange for as long as this season because it was fun after the first 10 games in the stadium there was a buzz. Now the stadium feels completely lifeless and for most the fan base (especially season ticket holders) it feels more of a chore to go. I also sold my tickets for the first time not because I couldn’t go to a match but because I knew we were going to get battered.
he wants to be a walking headline doesn't he? never stops telling anyone who still cares that he is this and that. Can't lose? If contract cut short does one get paid some part of the full contract? I bet he cannot believe someone with his 'pedigree' got the job in the first place? someone posted a Munn interview or something on here. It said 'they' lobbied for him? If he gets the tin tack, will all the new Aussie 'fans' that strangely worship him be gone too?

Bob would have loved this team as well...
Probably would have killed him even earlier tho
not a chance. He loved Spurs when they were cool.
That team was an attacking, cavalier, swashbuckling team. At it's best, that is exactly what we are like under Ange. Bob would've respected the stubbornness to stick to his principles as well. Bob was nothing if not stubborn and stoic when it came to what he believed.
agreed, go for iraola, if he turns you down you get silva or terzic! if they turn you down you look in the mirror and say maybe its time to sell and get out of here, im bang in trouble.
if hes put himself into a place where he cant get them managers then hes in big trouble and his stock in the club will be coming right down so best to get out.
This. Top6 club job is not available that often. And even when it is, those clubs usually goes abroad with next hirings.
Who was the last guy promoted from low/mid PL tier to Top6 club as manager? I think that was Nuno in 2021? Ahh and Potter to Chavs. You could count also Maresca but lets be honest, he was chosen strictly based on fact he has Pep connection.
Guys like Iraola, Frank, Silva know next chance to jump into top6 club in England won't happen again soon for them, so they won't risk waiting till summer. Its all about Levy paying the price.
Thank you
you clearly see things differently. There were 10 games where results were achieved at the start of this persons 'reign' and since then (and even debatable then) about the swashbuckling bit
Bob Marley is a legend, White Hart Lane was one of the iconic grounds in world football and the rest goes without saying. It's gone...don't mean to offend but that's my opinion.
I mean the 10 games thing is a provable myth but whatever, we can agree to disagree.you clearly see things differently. There were 10 games where results were achieved at the start of this persons 'reign' and since then (and even debatable then) about the swashbuckling bit
My logic would be that his replacement won't be available until the Summer so if we sack him now who is your preferred caretaker coach to finish out this season? That is why I'm not jumping around with excitement at the idea of sacking him right now. We won't have a good new manager until next season either way
sure. You love the club and can see it your way. there were some very lucky results in that first 10 matches in my opinion but there are better, more organised teams in this league (and others) and it shows. The holier than thou crap doesn't cut it long term but to get the job in the first place, some feat considering what's gone before at this club? just a shame..in my opinion.
cuck mentality
He's done.
The board are just going to try and hold out till summer rather than appoint an interim. It gives the appearance of not having a managerial merry go round. Nobody we want long term is available and the league season is dead in terms of all realistic goals with us 14 points off 6th place.
The only way he is sacked is if we realistically enter a relegation fight. So if we lost to Leicester at home (this is very unlikely to happen, they are drastically bad) then I think we'd hold panic talks. But imo from now we will tread water and likely see out the season 12th or above.
The league cup doesn't save his job imo - we would still look to hire an Iraola. A domestic cup double does and a Europa league trophy does, but only in the same sense that it got Di Matteo hired or kept Ten Haag in a job. The board would still have the finger on the trigger and doubt his long term capabilities in the league.
But anyway, I did say the Liverpool win was a false dawn. And it was. I can't get excited by any singular win under this coach as we will immediately be back to dismal the next match. 15th place is beyond the depths that even I thought he could sink, and frankly anyone still fighting his corner for any other reason than "wait till summer for available coaches" is an absolute embarrassment.
