Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The year is 2055, Ange Postecoglou, Tottenhams longest standing manager who turns 90 this year has defended his team following their defeat against the current leaders of Division 3, Kidderminster Harriers.

When asked if it was necessary to play such a high line that saw the entire outfield team in the oppositions penalty box for the entire game, he responded:

“It’s who we”

Unfortunately he didn’t get to finish the response as he fell asleep mid interview
Who is running the club, tell me its not a Levy AI bot ?:ange-facepalm2:
 
(I'm not a covid denier and don't think any of this was true then)

But for the cult of Postecoglu - WOW.

Repetitive rituals
- Blame self inflicted injuries
Leader
- Obvious flaws. Check. Can do no wrong in some fans eyes. Double Check. Mate.
Special Costume
- Badly fitted suit and a disheveled look
Abnormal rules
- Absurd instructions like telling all your players to chase the ball around all match to, quite litterally "Break down the oppositions phsyche" And everything becomes more absurd the longer it goes on.

In a similar vein this article is uncanny. Its about cricket and bazball but even indirectly its probably still the best article i've seen on Postecoglou and wretched Angeball.

 
When i was at the Gooner scum home game earlier in the season i continuously saw Arteta tell his players "wait wait wait" when they attempted to press in areas that he deemed not dangerous. Our lot were running around like headless chicken with zero direction and Arteta fucking knew it.
Literally any half decent manager can work our gameplan out and its frigtening this goofball manager doesnt see this and attempt to tweak it.

At some point Levy gave up caring about results. With hindsight, the recent sackings have been unrelated to results:


- Jose- fell out over superleague, was making Levy look bad. Plus the conspiracy over winner bonus.
- Nuno- crowd turned on Levy and Conte became available.
- Conte- criticised Levy in public.

Ange toes the company line and is safe as houses despite being the Australian Gary Megson.

You can go further back and say that Redknapp went because he was arrogant. Not sure how much I believe on the funeral thing.
Ramos has to go to keep us up.

Thing is, if we use all these as solid excuses to sack them, then it means people should get off Levy's back about sackig managers too quickly.
 
When did he do that?

btw I'm not saying his mistakes mean he shouldn't lose his job btw but let's get it straight about what was and wasn't a mistake because rotation certainly wasn't one of them.

What did you just say ? I honestly did not catch it.

My point was simple - in first games in Europe we rotated lot more. And mostly got through it.
Yet after Galatasaray game this rotation stopped.

After that we got draws with Roma and Rangers. It is hard for me to imagine we could have done worse than 2p from those games with some youngsters getting more minutes. Best case in point for me is Lankshear. Scored against Gala. Went off with 2nd booking. And then got combined of 11 (!) minutes in 3 games where he was available. That is not enough in my view.

The year is 2057, and National League strugglers Tottenham Hotspur are away to newly promoted Guernsey FC. Veteran manager, Ange Postecoglou, now 92, was downbeat about his team's chances as we caught up with him during a seaside stroll:

"Look I don't know how many times I have to sit up here and say this! I can't ask for any more from these players. Playing each weekend, every weekend is hitting these guys hard. I'm playing three 7 year olds out there. How many teams have 52 first team players out for 4 seasons straight? Just us? Right. Yes. Thought so mate. I don't think there's any team in the league with more under 5s, and in particular under 5 girls, holding down first team positions right now. I just know if these boys (and girls) get through this period, and we get Mickey back, we will see so much growth. I am totally confident on that."
