Like i wrote after Brentford - that win bought him time, prolly till end of the season (or somewhere near there). Guess board think that since squad is getting healthier its fair to let him ride it for couple more weeks.

Fun part is that because players are coming back, schedule is less busy at the moment and we have couple more weeks to next EL game - it would be perfect time for new manager to start work and prepare properly. Obviously won't happen, so we just have to wait till we crash in next EL round.

Yeah if he had lost vs Brentford I think he'd be gone. Or at least teetering on edge going in to United. A loss there would've put us firmly in the relegation scrap which is the only thing which forces the boards hand now imo.

Well I’ve been watching matches at 4-5am, spent $$$ on multiple subscriptions to watch, have gone to work on 3 hours sleep after watching a game, and put myself through the wringer of this forum, for a start.
But would still consider myself a casual fan.
And I don’t see whats wrong with that.
I would add though that the first and last thing I do each day is check for any Tottenham news. So maybe it’s a tad more than casual????

Such a badly organised team. players just doing their own thing. No structure when out of possession in particular. I wanted it to work with Ange but it quite clearly hasn’t. Apparently he doesn’t do much if any coaching in which case he’s picked some terrible coaches to work under him.

Do think this issues behind the scenes as well with a few players.

We lost 5/6 games in a row at the end of last season with only Udogie missing.

We lost to Newcastle, Palace, Ipswich missing only 1 of his first choice.

We beat City whilst ravaged by injuries. You can’t have it both ways you fucking bluffer lol.

Defoe said today that if you aren’t having patterns of play you end up just running around. That’s exactly what they are doing. That’s why they are fucked.

Bcos he has coached any patterns of play into the squa.

The same Fab that convinced Levy to hire Nuno? Forgive me for not breaking out the bunting.

Paratici can identify a player, roughly half the time. But a good judge of managers he is not.

As for the rumours, apparently he wants Inzaghi. Why Inzaghi would give up Inter to come and manage this shitshow I don't know.

I also don't just see why we don't go for the likes of Iraola or McKenna. Proven Prem managers who know the league and would champ at the bit to be given a chance at a club of our stature. Trust Levy to be given a complete fucking open goal this summer and miss.

Inzaghi is obviously a talented manager but he gives me serious Conte vibes. In style, tactics, demeanour, everything. Big risk.

Agreed, Contie is really struggling since he left us.

Are you making an argument for Ange to go? Inability to react as a coach is clearly the answer here, he's had plenty of time to adjust, and hasn't. His results have been in freefall and getting worse every week.

Take a look at BJKs analysis above. They are following the ball around the pitch. Ange is coaching them to do that.

Adjust how? And when?

The last time Spurs had 5 days break between games was in November.

We are playing with a different starting 11 every single week, without little in-between to train. Tel and Danso played 2 games having not had a single training session with the squad.

Son, Kulu and Porro have been the only players consistently available. No other team in history had had this level of players unavailable.

We've prepared, set up and trained a system of play. To completely adjust that mid season, within just 2 or 3 days, with a random group of players depending on who is fit is pure fantasy.
