I've run all the scenarios and concluded this is literally the only possible reason Ange still works for Spurs.

How on earth are we only 4/1 to win the Europa league?, who would look at this shambles, this flange ball catastrophe that continues to unfold and think that’s a good price on us getting past Frankfurt, followed by most likely Lazio before managing to somehow beat Bilbao in their own back yard in the final, it’s madness,
Sorry...have we genuinely accepted the narrative that Ange has compromising information on Levy? Because if yes, I can completely understand, as there is zero other logical reason as to why Levy would be delaying pulling the trigger. Levy is a nonce, and we need to get the pitchforks ready.
It's unprecedented how much of a shit show this season has beenWe've lost 15 games this season, we still have to play Forest and Brighton at home and Liverpool, Chelsea and Villa away.
We could end the season with over 20 losses, mental.
I wasn't confident going into this season but I couldn't have imagined it would have been this bad
Soton and maybe 1-2 others, though, to be honest the ones I had put down for were 2/3 of Crystal Palace, West Ham and Brighton- none of which are actually going to be easy games whatsoever.
Didn't have to twist your nipple to get you milking all these tit puns, did they?
I'd say it's nailed on he will be going in the summer if it wasn't for Europa league he would be gone now. We know how football works and people will be talking and letting managers who are in a job already that we are interested that's how the agents get the big money. No way Ange stays at spurs come the summer that's just how the game is now.
It’s not an easy problem to fix to be honest but I believe if enough of the fanbase group together something can be done, I do believe we have power in numbers, we just need to convince other supporters it’s worth it, that is the fundamental issue here imo.
How that is organised or what it looks like is something that needs serious consideration, otherwise this is what we are going to continue to get from these owners and this chairman.
Covering 25 seasons (from 1999/2000 to 2024/2025), assessing whether the current 2024/2025 season, with 15 losses after 29 matches as of March 17, 2025, is on track to be Tottenham Hotspur’s worst in terms of Premier League losses over that period.
To determine if the 2024/2025 season is the one with the most losses for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League over the last 25 years, we need to compare their current record with historical data from the 1999/2000 season through 2023/2024. As of today, March 17, 2025, Tottenham have lost 15 matches in the Premier League after 29 games, with 9 matches remaining in the season.
Tottenham’s Losses in the Premier League Over the Last 25 Seasons
Below is a summary of Tottenham’s losses per season in the Premier League from 1999/2000 to 2023/2024, based on historical records, followed by the current season’s status:
1999/2000: 13 losses (10th place)
2000/2001: 13 losses (12th place)
2001/2002: 14 losses (9th place)
2002/2003: 14 losses (10th place)
2003/2004: 16 losses (14th place)
2004/2005: 10 losses (14th place)
2005/2006: 7 losses (5th place)
2006/2007: 11 losses (5th place)
2007/2008: 13 losses (11th place)
2008/2009: 15 losses (8th place)
2009/2010: 9 losses (4th place)
2010/2011: 10 losses (5th place)
2011/2012: 10 losses (4th place)
2012/2013: 8 losses (5th place)
2013/2014: 11 losses (6th place)
2014/2015: 11 losses (5th place)
2015/2016: 5 losses (3rd place)
2016/2017: 4 losses (2nd place)
2017/2018: 7 losses (3rd place)
2018/2019: 12 losses (4th place)
2019/2020: 11 losses (6th place)
2020/2021: 12 losses (7th place)
2021/2022: 11 losses (4th place)
2022/2023: 14 losses (8th place)
2023/2024: 11 losses (5th place)
2024/2025 (as of March 17, 2025): 15 losses after 29 matches (position TBD)
Analysis
Current season (2024/2025): 15 losses after 29 matches, with 9 games left to play.
Worst historical record over 25 years: 16 losses in the 2003/2004 season (full 38-match season).
Tottenham’s highest number of losses in a single Premier League season over the last 25 years is 16, recorded in 2003/2004, a season where they finished 14th. The 2008/2009 season saw 15 losses, matching their current tally, but that was across a full 38-match campaign. This season, with 15 losses already after only 29 matches, Tottenham are on pace to potentially exceed both of these marks. If they lose just one more game in their remaining 9 fixtures—which seems plausible given their recent form, including a 2–0 defeat to Fulham on March 16, 2025—they will tie the record of 16 losses. Two or more additional losses would set a new high for the 25-year period at 17 or greater.
Looking at their recent performance trends and the challenges under Ange Postecoglou’s management, it’s reasonable to expect at least a couple more defeats before the season ends, especially with tough fixtures likely remaining against top teams.
Conclusion
As of now, the 2024/2025 season is already tied with 2008/2009 for the second-most losses (15) in the last 25 years, and it’s just one loss shy of the all-time high of 16 from 2003/2004. With 9 matches left, it is highly likely that this season will become Tottenham’s worst in terms of Premier League losses over the past 25 years if they drop even one more game—and very possibly the worst if they lose two or more. Thus, yes, this season is on track to be their most defeat-laden campaign in the league since at least 1999/2000.
This analysis assumes their form doesn’t dramatically improve in the final stretch, which, based on current reports and fan sentiment, seems unlikely.

celtics treble in 2023 was their 5th in 7 seasons, looks like 6 in9 this season, thats what celtic do up there
Personally I think if we ever want real change at this club it starts with expectations being higher and demanding more because right now we are allowing the owners to walk all over us.
I don’t know how this can be achieved but the acceptance of mediocrity has to stop, that is indisputable.
Guaranteed to have atleast 18 loss this season since we still have to play Pool,Chelsea, Forest.
I predict we will have around 21-23 losses which will the worst Spurs PL season ever. Heck, I don't think we ever even had a 23 game loss season before. Its going to happen this year.
getting 5th wasnt so great as we only played 41 competitive games all season. villa managed 4th after 56 competitive games
It’s actually worse than I ever imagined, mate.We've lost 15 games this season, we still have to play Forest and Brighton at home and Liverpool, Chelsea and Villa away.
We could end the season with over 20 losses, mental.
I’ve wanted him gone for a while now, as you well know, but even I didn’t think it would spiral to this level—or, more bafflingly, that the club would just stand by and let it happen the way they have.
