Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People forget in 2016/17 the premier league was not competitive - absolutely nothing like it is now - the gap from 5th-10th was 30 points..... the gap from 10th - 18th was 10.

75% of the teams back then were absolute cannon fodder for a decent side.

The current gap between 5th & 10th is 8 points. FML we are closer to 5th in 15th by much less than 10th was back at the end of 2016/17.

This is not the same league, Poch wouldn't be able to reproduce what he did back then with us now.

As much as I hate to admit it, Poch had Chelsea firing eventually. Somehow built a team from a mess. If he’d stayed they’d be in a title race. Maresca seems like a massive downgrade so far.
 
We are run by fuckwits. Shouldnt be a shock. Levy has never got it.

Fuck me...

AVB not worth sticking with...

:avbnaa:

Poch wasn't worth sticking with...

:pochwtf:

Mourinho wasn't worth sticking with...

:mourbye:

Nuno, 8 games was it, pretty meh but better than this, not worth it though...

:nunothumb:

Conte not worth sticking with...

:contehmm:

But oh no, don't risk rocking the boat by sacking the worst Manager in the club's PL history.

Eventually, sure - but at the back end of the season he had 5 wins against teams, besides us, with pretty much nothing to play for - I dunno- they were pretty unimpressive considering the squad they had and still managed some shocking results for them in their last 10 games - losing 5-0 to arsneal, 2-2 with Sheff United and Burnley.

I saw nothing to suggest he would be doing any better than Maresca
 
The evidence increasingly suggests it is not rational to assume a "all the injuries are healed" scenario, and that the baseline level of injuries with Ange as coach is crippling high.
I think you're right. At Celtic Postecoglou often brought players off at 60 minutes in order to maintain the pace game to game (according to the BBC article that quoted a staffer there). Playing 90 minutes at one tempo isn't practical in the Premier League. And if you're a player thinking about where to transfer, do you want to play for a manager who might end your career early. Van de vyn is a good example. How many more hamstring injuries can he sustain?

In fairness they are building something that lasts.. Because the butchering of our reputation as the weeks go on, whilst we remain idle is damage that screws us for the forseeable.

And before the misery wank brigade pile in with "what reputation?".. We were in the super league.. However, much we may have hated it.. We were considered an elite enough name to be in that. We got in the room with the likes of Mourinho and Conte..

We may have been mocked.. But we were mocked because we were percieved as a big club that constantly underachieves.. We are witnessing in real time our reputation turn from being a big club worth mocking. To being an afterthought. A small insignificance. No hopers. No potential.
 
I can't see how as a top club with such a financially prudent Chairman we don't have a release clause in his contract , it makes no sense at all! We are sat in fucking 15th hovering above the drop zone, we should be able to show Ange the door and not give him a penny in compensation!!!!

I'm actually pretty shocked their wasn't an announcement of him going this morning, the people who said we don't need to worry about relegation are the same people saying we would beat Leicester.......
I’m not sure he is as astute as people say he is.

Overcooked naming rights deal, those deals no longer in vogue
Stadium late ( happens)
Stadium massively over budget ( happens but this is area of supposed expertise)
Not being willing to spend to consolidate top 4 when very much in pole position
Has spent god knows how much in poaching managers
Spent a lot more in comp for sacking managers
Same story on poaching and firing DOFs
For every Bale , Brebatov and Modric there are way more NDombele, Lo Celso and Bentleys
175k a week for Werner (twice just lol)
If we finish 15th instead of 5th that’s 31 million loss on Prem money alone ( excl loss of CL )

He has bled the fans dry to enrich himself and the odious Lewis admittedly , not genius or clever just cynical and greedy

Well that is my opinion of his business acumen at least .
 
here and say that I think Ange will win only more game as manager of Tottenham. The game this Thursday vs Effinburg
thing is if we win that one and avoid the extra 2 matches in the playoffs, then we are down to much more manageable levels of games. With players coming back too.

It's the only thing I can think of. I really dont think theres a buyer in the offing. Levy is hanging on for NFL or Super Lg and huge cash out then
 
🚨 The Cult of #Ange must be stopped now he is NOT the Messiah

⚠️ Spurs finished the game v Leicester with a lower XG than 38 year old Jamie Vardy

⚠️ Spurs still haven’t got as many points this season (and our next game is in February) as we had after 10 matches last season

⚠️ The defeat against Leicester was the first time since a loss to Notts County in 1912 that Spurs have lost at home to a side who had lost their previous seven league matches

⚠️ Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League games (D1 L6), their longest winless run in the top-flight since a nine-match stint between May and October 2008

⚠️ Ange Is the first #Spurs boss since David Pleat in 2003-04 to lose four top-flight games in succession on two occasions.

⚠️ Tottenham conceded two goals in the opening five minutes of the second half in this match, the first time that Spurs have suffered that fate since November 1997 against Liverpool.

⚠️ PPG 1.04

⚠️ 8 wins in the last 10

⚠️ 1 point out of a possible 21

⚠️ 4 points from 36

⚠️ 8 points from the last 13 games

⚠️ 11 points from 45

⚠️ 30 points from 90

⚠️ Spurs 2nd bottom in the form table only above Southampton

⚠️ 85 days since we last one at home

⚠️ 12 weeks since we won at home

⚠️ 13 defeats in 23 games

⚠️ 9 wins in 10 months now

⚠️ Arsenals last 100 games - 13 Losses
Spurs last 20 games - 13 Losses

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH #AngeOut before it’s to late
#COYS 💙🤍
