Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yea, this shit infuriated me.

To even use term "funny" after such a fucking shitshow (that has followed number of other shitshows down the line) is absolutely unacceptable.

Nothing of this game was funny. But you, my dear old fat fuck, are a joke....
i watched all his interviews yesterday because i'm a sick person and he led every one of them with some variation of 'funny'. fucking infuriating. he's clearly in the pr phase and doesn't give a shit about results anymore.

"It's never Ange that's the problem" - the article.

Saying the media has been on him from day one is an absolute joke, never seen a man get an easier ride with the press.

Why is it so hard for people to just admit he is shit?
 
Anyone else been actually close to tears that this fuck is still here and the state of our club. I'm being serious now. It's beyond frustrating.
It's frustration beyond belief - I just wanna shake some sense into Levy - How can he:
1. Get taken in by this buffoon and give him the managers Job.
2. Worse still. Look at the way we play and where we are in the table and still leave this fucking charlatan in charge.

I was always against this appointment, I knew it would turn bad, not quite as bad as this. He really should have been sacked after Chelsea last season. High line with 9 men - fuckoff

I was against the appointment then slowly swayed after the appointment to then the at the end of 10 games thinking he was something special not realising it was just very good PR. Then we played Chelsea this season at home and gave up a two goal lead with little to no fight. Then everything after the match was about Romero getting injured.

I was at the game I had eyes and could tell we lost because the system is absolute chaos especially giving away two stupid penalties with so little discipline. Mourinho would have killed the players for them.
 

"That list includes managers like Pochettino, Mourinho, and Conte—guys who had won league titles in top countries. All of them believed they could turn Spurs around. Not one of them was equal to the task.


Because some clubs you just can’t do anything with. Whether that’s down to ownership, bad leadership from executives, or a baked-in culture that makes progress impossible, it’s real. Culture can be changed. Leadership can be replaced. But if those things are as deeply ingrained as they are at Spurs, there’s little light at the end of the tunnel. It can be very difficult—if not impossible—to turn things around in the short to medium term.

And Spurs is one of those clubs. It has both leadership issues and cultural rot. Everyone knows about the chairman. But the cultural rot might be even worse. There are people in and around that dressing room who’ve been there a long time, and they’ve seen managers come and go and be utterly destroyed. One more manager coming and going? So what? It means nothing to them.

Even the new signings can’t be relied on to dig you out of a hole or battle hard when the going gets tough. What do they care? Spurs have become so used to failure that nobody goes there to win trophies. The attractions for any player signing for Spurs include the money, the lifestyle, the London location and playing in the Premier League. None of them go to Spurs because they have a winning mentality. It’s not that kind of club.

Yet they’re followed by a support with a wildly overblown sense of where the club should be."

Damn, some hard hitting truths there.

Surely you had a few alarm bells even in those first ten games?
Once the dopamine wore off from the late win against Sheff United, I started asking why it took two extremely late goals to beat one of the worst teams in the league.
Then why it took an injury time own goal to beat 9 man Liverpool. Especially when Chelsea tore us to shreds when we had 9 men. Liverpool very nearly won that game too - they had a glorious chance before they scored our winner for us.
 
"It's never Ange that's the problem" - the article.

Yup, it's a bit of a joke at this point. Ange had a fairy-tale start and had the media eating out the palm of his hand for roughly the first six months he was in charge.

I have to say, when people started saying a few months ago that Ange was our worst coach in the Premier League era, I scoffed at first. But things have gone from bad and injury-plagued, to worse and injury-free, and Ange's obstinacy has him obsessing over which player is talking to the media instead of accounting for the terrible form of the club. He is absolutely an empty suit now and you can also see that he's resigned himself to being terminated in the summer, but still there's a dogged contingent that refuses to admit that he's responsible for anything, without absolutely anything to warrant it.
 
He has done an absolute number on not only the players but the board as well it seems.

The bullshit 'siege mentality' he's adopting in which everything is the fans/medias fault is repugnant and everyone from players to owners have fallen for it. It allows for the blame game to be played with no accountability for your own actions.

Really analyse everything and you will really understand what type of long term damage he has done to the club.

His constant spats/digs at fans has resulted in:

* Vicario adopting the same approach and dismissing/laying blame to fans at full time.

* Son taking zero accountability, blaming injuries, pushing Sarr to the fans at Chelski as if any Spurs fans had an issue with Sarr personally as opposed to Bergvall being taken off.

* Sarr's agent a week or so later coming out about him moving (the same Sarr that we hardly ever heard a story about prior to that incident). I said in that match thread Ange will manipulate Sarr after this "don't worry that the fans don't rate you mate but I do" type of bullshit with captain cryalot ready to help his gaffer when needed.

* Romero being absolutely appalling the whole season with the no consequences to his shitness. Romero not showing up to watch games when 'injured' and now walking off and not thanking the fans and releasing shitty statements about how it's this person and that person's fault.



Hell even Levys statement after the financial results had a sly dig at fans. When has that ever happened? say what you want about him but compare that statement to any other one the club as put out...there's a stark difference.


Ange is a manipulative sociopath that uses these sort of underhand methods to get what he wants and it's worked a treat here. Only players I can say haven't fallen for it are Maddison and Spence.
