I’m having second thoughts about the statue
He's not done that out of choice. It's been done our of necessity.
The lack of investment and lack of vision at this club has cost us dear.
Best assets gone, other left to join other clubs willing to pay or play them.
4 weeks till we play in Europa again.
As you say that would give a new guy (not mason) time to get some ideas across and/or at least give ange his full squad of players back
No more excuses
lack of investment??? what?
That's when we can truly judge him / the situation. Like Jose / Poch / Conte said before - we do not have the depth to be in all these competitions.
We just need players back now.
In comparison to our revenue and wages paid? Especially compared to relative expectations - Absolutely. Would you not agree?
The squad he had to work with was nowhere close to our current squad.
I think it's all that he was offered tbf, mate
Our 1st choice midfield has been available the last 2 matches and it’s relatively fresh. Yet it’s been our weakest area of the pitch, offering such little defensive cover and attacking threat. That’s the system and instructions- you can see how badly coached we are.
The stats showed we ran more than Liverpool - we just ran around like a disorganised rabble.

4:50 is bang on. players on over 50k a week are not going to respect postecoglou or his two bob coaching team. they have fuck all pedigree in the game. joke of a setup.
The point remains that Ange isn't our worst ever manager.... yet
Even though
Sir Archibald Crooks
would love it to be true!I understand why you would say that. But Postecoglou isn't a normal manager and Spurs aren't a normal team. He did something really clever from Day One. He has this "Big Ange" persona that really works for him. People will blame Levy and board, the players, and just about anything else but not him. And even though I don't think it explains everything, he is persistent about always bringing the conversation back to the injuries. Ironically, people have bought into the idea that because they fired three managers in a short span that they can't fire a 4th. Logically, the one thing has nothing to do with the other, but that's how people (and more importantly Levy) may look at it. Nobody wants to lose face.
Great comments from Hart and Defoe.

A thing that stands out to me is that if a player takes the step from the SPL to the EPL and it doesn't work out, no one bats an eye.
But some Ange defenders use his success at Celtic as a big shield for him. Like it is going to guarantee success here.

If you base it purely on win percentage no. If you factor in what they came into, what squad they had, how much they had to spend and how shambolic we look then its still a yes from me. Anyway the fact we're scratching around for whether he was better than Gross or not means he's bloody useless regardless of opinion.The point remains that Ange isn't our worst ever manager.... yet

You started this pal!!
He may turn out to be an amazing and inspirational coach / manager .
But right now even those ( and especially those ) who want the best for him ; must have an inckling that he’s in the wrong place at the wrong time.
No disrespect to the man ; but not everything works our every time ; however hard everybody tries .
For whatever reason; things don’t seem to be working; repeatedly.
We need a no-fault divorce; and then we can all move on with our lives ( and whatever that may bring ) .

I remember last year the argument was always that because we weren’t in Europe and we got knocked out of both domestic cups early, we weren’t playing enough games to get into a rhythm.
This year, the argument has been that we’ve been playing too many games so we’re suffering with fatigue and injuries.
There just always seems to be some sort of excuse. Lots of other teams seem to manage fine, why can’t we?
