Management Ange Postecoglou

Is anyone saying it will make us great again? Fact is its better challenging for 4th than being in a relegation fight. We all know why we dont compete for the serious prizes but you can still do a reasonable job here even with Levys glass ceiling.
I’ve reached the point where staying emotionally neutral about the manager is no longer possible. Against my better judgement, I held onto hope that he might turn things around. While I’ve been critical of him in the past, I’ve also tried to balance that with moments of fairness and even praise when deserved.
But that’s over now. I no longer want him at this football club. For me, this goes beyond results now, it’s also about the man himself. He doesn’t deserve the privilege of managing a club of this stature. He lacks respect for the club, the league, and, frankly, the fans. I find him obnoxious, insincere, and PAINFULLY insecure.
Let’s be honest, at this point, Ange’s only selling point for people who still want him is his personality, because the football is devoid of promise. We’re not even entertaining anymore; it’s as dull as the worst days under AVB or Mourinho. Predictable, lifeless football, just dressed up with a sprinkle of salad dressing to mask the mediocrity of it all.
He may well be a great dad, a loving partner, and a decent person in his private life, but as a football manager, he’s one of the most arrogant individuals I’ve ever seen, with absolutely no justification for it. He’s simply not good enough at this level imo.
From this point on, I’m done giving him the benefit of the doubt. It would take nothing short of a miraculous transformation in form to change my mind.
I’m not sure even a trophy would convince me. Europa League win might sway me slightly, but let’s face it, a trophy didn’t save Ramos, and it shouldn’t really save Ange; at least in my eyes.
To use his own words against him here, Ange would be falsely rewarded if he won a trophy considering the season we have had, isn’t that how it goes according to his own logic?
He’s out of his depth, and he’s drowning the club along with himself.
Ange OUT.

Did levy hire munn cos of the Australian connection with Ange? No disrespect but football isn't a top sport that way. Aussie rules and cricket.
No.
Ange had to take the job.
How could he not?
The plan now is to sack him, after the window closes, so Spurs have no opportunity to seriously back him with players for now.
Every manager is set up to fail with the make do and mend approach to building a team.
Every manager who has avoided the sack after 18 months has either been denied the players he needed to build further or had key players from their team sold against their wishes.
Nothing changes until the owners change.

I don't understand why women can't comment on the men's game...they've probably been watching it for years...
Bingo.
Levy seems to at minimum invest enough money to see us competing for 4th-7th in the league at least. Probably never for the league title. But there's no reason in terms of money for us to not be in the upper sections of the table.
A good manager can also combine that with the odd cup run.
They'll get an early penalty to wipe out lead then get blitzed by half-time. Based on current form no chance were going through.
That was me I was out. I was done after Sherwood, then Poch bought everything and my love of watching Spurs back. Then since November 2019 when I found out he was getting the sack. This club has just put me through tribulation after tribulation supporting it, First it was terrorist football now it is we can' t play football.
Yeah, a good one.
We're 15th FFS, Levy used to sack managers for 'only' finishing 5th.
If they want him to stay then back him, it's pretty obvious we need to strengthen the squad.
To be fair Rich, it’s hard to disagree with it.
No more dinosaur managers like Mourinho, we should aim at new blood.
Can ange really be enjoying job? Getting beat every week, abuse, taking on fans and media every game. Thing is hes not been hung out to dry. Most of it his own making.
We are in a fucking relegation battle, nobody ever asked Levy to stick with a manager in a relegation battle.
Unprecedented levels of failure and it is gross incompetence to not rid of us the reason for that failure.
And boomerang throwing...
Naaah, the squad that played yesterday was more than enough to beat Leicester, and probably is good enough to at least compete with most teams outside the top 6. We have a manager issue, and he should be sacked asap, giving opportunity to someone that can use our players to their strenghts and has some tactical awareness.
Levy sticks by a manager who got him into a relegation battle but sacked a manager who got him 4 consecutive Champions League qualifications, two title challenges and a Champions League final.
Why does Levy do these things?
What is the common theme that motivates these decisions?
Poch had us 2nd and into a CL final. Emery took Villa from relegation to the Champions League. Eddie Howe took Bournemouth up 4 divisions, and Newcastle from relegation favourites to top 4. The right manager can do a lot. Winning something major under this ownership isn't unfathomable, it just requires them lucking out on the right manager. Which they've done about three times in 20 years so I don't hold out much faith in it.
Why isn’t Ange considered a dinosaur?
He’s sixty and never won anything of note. People think he’s some hip cool kid because his style of football is so fucking stupid, everyone else drops it by their mid-20s.
He’s little more than a glorified 5 aside manager.
Man, I just truly do not understand this perspective.
He's a football coach who is stubborn about playing open, aggressive tactics. It's really not that dramatic.
