I was in the same boat but fuck that,he’s got to go. We are totally fucked and right now we might be able to persuade a decent manager to come in just now because of our cups situation and the fact that anything they’ll do is an improvement. Wait two weeks and no cunt will touch this job until the summer. If he sacks him and puts Mason in then I’m not wasting money travelling all over the place watching him be our manager. We are better than this. Much better than this but Ange, the owners and injuries have made us so much worse than anything I could have imagined at Tottenham.
44 years of being a Tottenham supporter and I’ve never seen it worse. The 90s was shit but we won a cup and had real top top players. Now we have fantastic young players with no top players to help them. We have a mid table squad at best just now.

Anybody that can honestly say that Ange should keep his job is not Tottenham.
Was with you until the last paragraph. Folk are entitled to their opinions and if they can see something I cannot, then fair fucks.
 
I'm still amazed levy and Lange sat on their hands and while this tiny squad was picking up fresh injuries every game and continuously loosing.

There's absolutely no reason to believe that vdv and Romero won't just pick up a other serious injury in the next month. Or Richie breaking down as he tends too
 
He's still here for 2 reasons with the same connotation.
1. Levy won't want to pay the severance package for Ange and his coaches
2. Levy doest want to pay the compensation to a club to pinch their manager.

For context it cost 21.4m to replace ten Hag with Amorin. As a result ticket prices are increasing. It's the fans who pay for the fucking stupid decisions clubs make.
 
Need a manager who can lift morale and confidence.

He looked resigned he is gone after the game. You don't say things like sarr should not have played and he did play Madison is sore when he's really not. Also he talks about he has failed at bringing the club together. He will be gone tomorrow or Tuesday
 
So glad that the BBC are acknowledging that our problems run far far deeper than Postecoglou

The absolute worse thing that could happen to our strangled and abused football club right now is another managerial sacking achieving little else but relieving the pressure on Levy / ENIC.
When Ange is fired, the pressure needs to be maintained relentlessly. No repeat of the disgusting Whoop whooping when Levy cringingley tells us "we have our Tottenham back" after a few decent performances.

One of the questions the interviewer asks is if Ange is more hands on with the players given the circumstances. The answer is no.

Call me old fashioned, but how exactly are you meant to coach the players if you don’t interact with them regularly, and leave the coaching to your assistants?!

Weird!


And here, Maddison shares the differences between the two managers after being asked how Postecoglou convinced him to sign for the London club.

Maddison told Golf Life, “He’s a good man [Postecolgou]. He’s a unique human being. You can tell he’s a brilliant man and when I spoke to him before I signed the first thing he said to me was congratulating me on the birth of my twins when I first met him.

“So I knew straight away he’s a good man but he’s also someone who will not let the manager/player relationship get too tight.

“For example like Brendan Rogers who I had for five years at Leicester, he was very arm around you and made you feel so good.

“Like you could go in his office for a coffee and talk. They’re both great men but just different. Ange keeps that manager/player relationship socially to a minimum, he wouldn’t mind me saying that I don’t think.

“Even though he doesn’t talk to you individually as much as someone like Brendan Rodgers would I still feel that he believes in me by the way he is and the way he conducts himself and talks in the meetings and he believes in me without me needing to hear it.”


Midfielder O'Riley, 22, was signed by the Aussie coach in January 2022 and became a key part of the engine room during his tenure.

But for all his success, Postecoglou was known for keeping distance from his players.

Assistant boss John Kennedy alluded to it yesterday, commenting on how Rodgers' approach involved "being around people more socially".

Postecoglou famously admitted that he would never allow his players to get close to him - and wouldn't even sit with them for a coffee.

So, the new gaffer just sitting down to join his players at the lunch table has felt like a breath of fresh air, O'Riley revealed.

He told Celtic TV about Rodgers' impact: "So far it's been amazing.

"Everyone seems quite upbeat, and I think the manager brings that just in terms of how he goes about things.

Levy has always paid top dollar for managers because he believes that's how you win without spending on players.

Trouble is he now believes that managerial stability is how you ensure player spending is kept low.
 
It's mindboggling how this thread see's more activity than the Levy / Ownership thread after a game like today. Everything that's wrong with Tottenham Hotspur football club. At this point if you're mainly blaming Ange you're just as much to blame as Levy and co.
No one (I think) is mainly blaming Ange. There's rot at the core of the club which is our owners, but the reality is that it is very very hard to replace owners. Just look at Utd and the Glazers.
Managers, meanwhile, change frequently and easily. Often the players are to blame and managers are an easy sacrifice as it is easier to change the manager than the whole squad, isn't it?
At the end of the day Ange may not be the main problem but there's zero doubt that he ought to be doing better than he is with our squad, even with the injuries which he may/may not share some of the blame in having caused.
He's a coach who likes playing suicidal attacking football...except we do that whilst looking somehow quite toothless in attack.
We need wholesale change at the club, but right now we need to start with staving off relegation and that starts with Ange gone imo
 
Get Terzic on an 18 month contract. If he's no good, bin him in the summer with a 12 month payoff and go big for Iraola.

If he is good, we get a chance at a cup this season. If not, we get a guy that's the closest thing to what Poch gave us.

The cost in keeping the bloke far outweighs the cost in not at this point.
