Nah, I think he realises that, given the injuries we've had, we'd be better off finishing 17th and wining the EL than finishing anywhere between 2nd and 16th. And that he is confident we will climb the table once the 10 first team players who have been unavailable recently are back in the team.

Agree - it had to happen today really but it will on the 10th cos theres no way we are winning the games we need to keep his job.
I don't believe the compensation thing is the reason at all - Levy has sacked managers left right and centre for decades not caring about compo - there must be someone lined up for the summer and no one good to take the caretaker role.
TBF I would be shitting myself if Mason took the reigns for a relegation battle as much as Ange but something has to change.
And you can’t blame them
Just blame the wankers that appointed them!
Cost of paying him of may be more, sure.
Cost of going down is estimated between £85m to £100m in the first season.
The £100m drop: The cost of relegation from the Premier League
What is the cost of relegation from the Premier League, what would it mean in the specific cases of Everton, Leicester and Leeds?

And then of course there's the unquantifiable long term damage to the clubs reputation for years to come.
City, Newcastle, Leeds, West Ham, Villa all got relegated and were nothing more than mid table/relegation fodder until some of them got bought out.
If we think things are bad now, see what 1 or seasons out of the PL will do. It'll be an absolute disaster.
The whole talk of this is way overblown, it's not as though we have to pay a lump sum, he'd just go on gardening leave and we'd pay his wages until he gets another job...
OK it might be a while, but it doesn't need to be a top job, we'd just have to make up the shortfall or something, I'm sure the Yabbee Creek Flamin' Gallahs will more or less match his wages here...
We were incredible that last season at the Lane.
Destroyed teams before half time.
Must be what supporting the Dippers feels like.
MOTD2 post match analysis is great. A perfect example of how he has hung a player, this time Bentancur, out to dry with his tactics. He is basically a one man midfield as the other two are so far up the pitch and he cant cover the ground in time back and forth across the pitch time and again.
Honestly, he is just so bad of a manager. Something else about how we are set up is highlighted time and again. And if the BBC can do it you can bet every PL club with all their coaching staff and analysists can do too. Hence why everyone keeps beating us!

Why haven't we sacked him yet?
He's clearly out of his depth, of course the board and some of the players are also to blame BUT Ange is responsible for the first team and in all honesty we've been shit ever since THAT defeat to Chelsea.
Levy needs to fuck off as well.

When you actually look at our stats under him, including from last season. It's actually shocking. We've taken 30 points from our last 30 PL games.
It's actually mental how he is still here. Him talking about us being in a better position now than we were when he came in. Haha the audacity of him.
I can only imagine the club are paralysed because they don't know what to do if they sacked him. Which is mental because the signs that Ange was a charlatan last year. Basically from the Chelsea game, some of us saw a fraud as early as that.
Yet the club have just ticked along doing nothing.

We won't get anywhere near the final of that.
Nowhere near it.
1 Lazio - W7 D1 - 4th in Serie A
2 Frankfurt - W5 D1 - 3rd in Bundesliga
3 Bilbao - W5 D1 - 4th in La Liga
4 Man U - W4 D3
5 Lyon W4 D2 6th in France
6 Spurs W4 D2 - relegation fodder shite
Selection of teams below us -
Galatasary - absolutely fucking battered us. Should have been 5 or 6 nil.
Olympiacos - top in Greece
Rangers - have actual fans that help the team
Ajax - 2nd in Netherlands
Roma - already played us off the pitch with tinkerman.
We don't stand a chance of winning it.
And the longer we stay in it, the worse out league form will get. Well, it just flatlines at dead.
But if we lack in attack, we could make up for it by tightening in defence. We're playing all out, every game. Everyone knows the patterns by now. We see the same every game. Sometimes it works, such as if we play the bottom team Southampton who we spanked 5-0. But it doesn't work against the stronger sides. Even lower ranked teams are enough tactically astute to take advantage of our vulnerabilities.
This system isn't working. At least I can respect Ange for being up-front about it. This is what you get. Credit to him for his honesty and lack of pretension. He's probably a pretty good guy under a lot of pressure. But what we get isn't enough. We'll never know exactly who is to blame and what is going on behind the scenes. Does it really matter now? It's a damn urgency.
I'd find a caretaker for the league but give Ange the League cup. It's only two games left and they are months apart. He gets his chance to win something in the second year, and he appears to be a decent cup manager given his wins against City and Man U. But for the league he's an absolute disaster.
Sure Trump won't deport him?
What a shit job, managing the USMNTWTFITP or whatever the fuck it's called.
I said about 15 minutes in to the game yesterday "Sarr and Bergvall keep trying to make runs through the gaps leaving Bentancur as the only CDM"
And "that will probably leave Davies to chase after Vardy"
If I can see this fucking shite, why can't he???
He's literally a fake football coach. He's managed to wing it for nearly 30 years in nothing leagues. Getting battered in the CL when at Celtic but having people say "oh but didn't they play well"
Fucking who cares when you get ripped apart by a COACHED football team?
This is madness.
If we don't sack him we don't sack him. But any support for him from people proclaiming to be Spurs fans has to end. Surely?
To be fair, it doesn’t say whether he’ll still be employed.
He might just be standing there like a dickhead.

4.5k votes and no doubt the majority are Spurs fans. Troll types not really likely to follow a Fanalyst because nobody will take the bait.
I’ll be honest, I’m shocked the majority still voted IN.
Any decent manager who prepares properly for games against us will beat us while he is in charge. Honestly, it is as clear as day.
Richard, we all know you voted 2,500 times.
But I thought we had to give managers more than 1 season before judging them? he turned over Ange twice last season as well.
I'm not saying Poch is the answer, but i'm 100% certain he would never have us 15th in the table!
And the best part about this is, doing fucking what?
This calamity chaosball nonsense would arguably be worth it if the solid foundation that you were entirely neglecting to build were absent in favour of a bunch of players up the other end causing a headache for the opposition, but they aren't...
As Matt1882 has pointed out repeatedly, we're outnumbered everywhere on the pitch.
Where the hell are our players? Not in defence that's for sure, midfield? Nope, nothing to be seen there, must be in attack then? Nope, fuck all going on up there either...
Seriously, only position that I'm confident that we are fully manned in is Keeper, and that poor c**t will always be on a hiding to nothing no matter who it is and what form they're in. I'm sure it won't be long before Ange has him inverting and/or pressing.
