He still has a few things to hide behind.
He never had a fit squad
Levy didn't back him
Spurs always fail.

Someone will think those are true and take him on. And when he still fails, maybe then the fans in the cult will back down a bit.

The Levy didn't back him is an absolute fallacy. Ange Postecoglu signed off on the "youth" project also signed on signing Werner a second time when he had a few major injuries.

Guys and gals,

I made an account here because of Ange, yes I am Australian. Felt like I couldn’t post here because some hard arse cunt tried to tell me that the league cup was coveted by “everyone in England”. Also feel like Ange should have left in November 2024 on his own sword when we were trying to play some ridiculous inverted counter attack football where our formation ends up 0-9-1 to justify a decades worth of bullshit neglect and an insistence you can survive 4 competitions with 23 players

I’ve also supported Tottenham since Martin Jol’s fucking lasagne episode thanks for a friend of mine I grew up with in a Jewish family that bled lilywhite to death, there’s a ridiculous picture of me with long hair losing my shit when we won the old Carling in ‘08 posted by the OzSpurs crew that went as close to viral as you can get back then here in Australia

I didn’t want Ange to come here - not because of him being up to it, but his legacy was with Celtic and should have stayed that way, and let’s be honest, we’ve slagged off every manager since Jol. First year we’re gonna win the league, give it 6 months the manager is a fraud but hey, two of them are about to win a trophy and the third is earning a fortune currently watching some fucken Yanks sunbathe in Miami

Ange’s faults have always been he is too stubborn and he sees the light at the top of the hill too much. Dropped my Aussie club in a heartbeat for a national gig, dropped Celtic for us. Australia won an actual real continental cup where we didn’t have to play fucking Tonga or Fiji off his own bat. They were known quantities though, compare those first “10 games that cannot be mentioned” with the dross we’ve had to watch, well the management hasn’t changed, that little Melbourne Heart Minn cunt that measles his way into a football director job didn’t help either given he spent $200m to save it only to sell it to Man City for about $50m, but hey whose fucking counting at the moment?

At what point though do you all say we have to own this? We’ve got cunts here saying Son is scum and is a passenger, Mickey is a fraud, World Cup winner Romero somehow sucks. This isn’t even a pot shot at Levy either, the whole club is fucked from top to bottom - to dare is to do but we haven’t dared since Poch and the one bit we had to execute the “to do” bit the same fuckheads were saying it was painful to watch the “to do” under practically every manager since 2021

Get Iraiola or Silva which keep being mentioned - you honestly think Marco would last two months when he was chased out of Merseyside in half a year with a cunt squad? Iraiola would do what Nuno tried to do and at this point we’d all be calling for his head

We had a taste of the glory, we didn’t do the hard yards. Like with Ange, we’ve built up and annihilated every single person that has attempted to fix this cancerous culture. He has to go, but fuck me look at the causes, not the symptoms

And to all the hard arses calling him an “Aussie fraud”, “fat cunt”, “go back to Greece” one of you heroes the other day even said halfway through the Bournemouth game you were gonna hit him when he was 80 - yeah you’re real hard cunts, Hope you’re proud of it

The fix starts from the fans, we need to be better, otherwise the Iraiola thread will be bigger than this

We’ve literally had the same conversation for a decade

Levy & selling players

It seems according to reports that we have to sell before we buy due to squad size. All these people that think levy is some sort of genius, do you honestly think we are going to be able to shift players and for a good price or will the buying clubs hold us over a barrel because Levy has ballsed...

The injury excuse is bollocks as well, but they (cultists) will still hide behind it

It’s bollocks but it has merit, how many defenders have we bought when we all sook about getting to the halfway line and everyone’s standing there like a stunned rat? Play out from the back but nowhere to go to

The whole structure is fucked - new manager, new system, works then fails, rinse and repeat

I wouldn’t either if I was you
 
My go to replacement is either Frank or Silva (Poch would be fun but seems unlikely). But today I have snowed in a bit on Bruno Genesio at Lille.

A quality manager with tons of experience from Ligue 1. Having had both Lyon, Rennes and Lille fighting at the top of the table there. Plays a good tactically smart brand of football and has Lille on a strong run in the CL.

And he made Ndombele look like a monster during his Lyon days and contribute to us buying him so he kinda owes us I guess.

We have had injuries and they have, to some degree hindered us.
But lots of them were avoidable and we have just as many poor results with the squad all fit as without it seems.

This is a very fair post, and when you write like that it’s a shame that you haven’t felt you wanted to post more.

I don’t want Ange, I simply don’t think he’s good enough. However I’ve never understood throwing the personal insults about weight and what not, it doesn’t make you tough typing behind a screen.

FWIW, a lot of people here, myself included know the real issue is the ownership. We just also feel that, regardless of who owns the club, Ange’s ‘style’ doesn’t work in the premier league. It’s a level where his talent has run out frankly.

So I wholeheartedly agree with you that Levy, Munn… let’s face it, most of the staff could be moved on. I just personally think Ange is part of that because he isn’t good enough regardless of who owns us.

Hope you start to feel like you can post more though as reading your post, you’re a Spurs fan, not just a fan of one manager.

I think this logic would be pretty weird if it were playing out in the dressing room.

A lot of these players have ambitions of playing in the Champions League. The pathway to that "promised land" is actually far easier than making top 4 in the EPL in general.

I struggle to believe they can't see that.

The truth most likely is somewhere between mental fatigue & lack of confidence. Form in sports is very much a confidence thing and a lack of it tends to produce a lot of basic errors.

Look at my post at fucken 10:00 pm Hobart time after ghosting this entire forum for a year

Half the cunts in this thread are glory hunters that reckon a half cocked side with Sol at the front by himself and Son looking for a zimmer frame after playing the entire season without support is gonna reach top four

That match where 20 fat fucks slag him off against Everton when he’s literally begging for forgiveness is fucking embarrassing. Clapped club whore Maddison but who burnt two clubs in Norwich and Leicester

Not a dig at Maddison either, ones done a job for us and the other has been here for 5 mins

We aren’t going anywhere lower than the premier league. It’s been proven this year when we are shit we are still miles better than relegation.

If anything we will be in a Super league with no chance of relegation and games in Melbourne and Sydney every other year.

You have to admire levy’s ability to sell pure tat.
Noticed we also sell Hawaiian print Spurs dog coats. There is clearly nothing this man won’t put a Spurs logo on!!

Wait until any quality we currently have becomes disinterested and pushed their way out.
Wait until the reinvestment of funds for those players gets spent on 8 year olds who are waiting for their summer holidays.

We are a few poor decisions away from a complete collapse of the house of cards.


And yes, we're a few good decisions away from glory too.
One would be getting a competent coach and DoF.
