Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He genuinely has more dislike for us than Woolwich. We have a fraud managing us that clearly doesn't even fucking like us and yet he's still in charge. This charade should of ended after the Chelsea home game this season. 2 absolute cunts in levy and no clue who have absolutely dragged this club through the mud the last 2 seasons.
Hes not a fraud. We took the ridiculous gamble hiring this inept manager who had credentials managing in pissant leagues. I blame the board hiring the bloke.
 
This was on the Sky Sports app about Slot and Liverpool about reducing their injuries:

‘Less running means fewer injuries

Meanwhile, training was now longer but less intense, with Ruben Peters, who also came with Slot from Rotterdam as the club's new physical performance coach, determined to listen to the players in pre-season as to the possible reasons for the Reds' chronic injury crisis that scuppered Klopp's final campaign at Anfield.’


We should definitely take note with the next appointment both manager and medical!
 
Of course he would.

Which is why he shouldn’t even be at the club. He should have been fired months ago. But he’s been allowed to fester in position and create this bullshit narrative that he’s responsible for our EL cup run.

Were there despite him, not because of him.

Sacking him today increases our chances of winning.
I agree , but , the outside narrative will always be that he fulfilled his prophecy and he was sacked or left .

And he will revel in it .

Absolutely agree- you want to play the most efficient defensive formation possible because then you can devote more athleticism and effort to it while minimizing risk of injury.

Doing so means every so often you can actually employ a high-intensity high-press without compromising the health of your team.

I have to disagree about the fraud part although ultimately it does lead back to that cunt up in the stands. I keep going back to it but after his comments after the city game he had a lot of words to back up and he simply has not done it. Big talk little action. He's a fraud in my book talks a good game but results don't back it up.
 
I was a fan when Ange came on board , like I am with any manager . But the last few months I have become very frustrated with his stubbornness , especially the defensive side of our game which IMO is quite an easy fix .

Anyway half way through last year my wife found and bought my Xmas present thinking that it would be a great prezzie . So I got the prezzie at Xmas and I thought OK that's alright , but as the season has gone on since Xmas and things have regressed and my ire at Ange has increased I have looked at my prezzie with , more and more resentment .

It was a copy of a book called "Angeball".

Simply can't bring myself to read it , and my wife has asked a couple of times when I was going to read it as I always have a book on the go .

I have finally told her I don't think I'll be able to read it , she understood .

I told her though I thought the present she got me for our first Xmas together was a better present , that was a hammer .
Least you may be able to burn it and get cathartic relief imaging the book is our manager getting the boot.
 
I agree with everything but "Second Rate Cup". We haven't won a cup for near 2 decades, and the Europa League is nothing to be sniffed at.
Our rivals (which there are many) will turn this into a second rate cup... for any club with CL ambition, it's like the league cup... happy if you win it, not bothered if you get knocked out in the group stage so long as your league form is good... the only reason we are wetting ourselves about it is because this season has been like running through the Gobi desert with a full astronaut outfit on and no water... hot, sweaty, dehydrating and will end with paramedics giving me mouth to mouth.
 
Ange is doing just as much as Levy is to destroy my love for this club. Fucking ruined this season, Europa or no Europa.

Get this fat cunt gone now. He hates us and we hate him. Only reason he's still here is so he can get his grubby puke hands on some more cash. The useless waste of oxygen will never get a pay day like it ever again.

Fucking arsehole wanker cuntbag mcghee.

Fuck off.

You’d have to say they’d have a point if we win it considering our league position.

The only reason we’re in the semis is down to the poor quality opposition we’ve encountered. It’s certainly not down to the genius in the dugout!

See, I don't understand this mentality. For years we've heard fans shouting we want more trophies. Fans of other clubs making jokes about the new addition to our trophy room being the carpet etc.

Now we're 3 games from winning our first trophy in 17 years and first European trophy in 41 years, and fans are saying its a piece of shit trophy not to get excited about.

I guarantee Man City fans would celebrate winning it, so would Chelsea, so would Liverpool. We'd all rather win the Champions League of course, but having a winning mentality means taking every competition seriously....forget our rivals turning it into a second rate cup, some of our own fans are already doing it!
 
When Poch was manager, and we lost, I was pissed off for days afterwards. I think it was because our defeats happened less often and we were challenging for things.

Now, with Ange, not only am I immune to our defeats, I expect them. In a strange way, life as a Spurs fan is easier under Ange, because there is zero expectation.

If Poch was here and we were in the semi-final of the Europa, with the squad he had, we'd have expectation.

Now, it's just indifference i.e. no sense in getting hopes up as Ange loses most games.

Levy makes the strategic decisions, and when he fires Ange, he better get the next appointment right, and all that money we made from everything associated with the business, needs to be ploughed into the squad build (as far as fair play rules go) so that we can all have something to hope for, before we die.

I honestly think if we won the Europa Ange would happily walk away and stick his fingers up to us and say "I told you so" , without a backward glance or a thought of how bad our league form was .

Then he would mention it in every interview for the rest of his life .

I’m not so sure. We’ve all seen that his ego is huge and his lack of self awareness astounding. He seems to think he’s not doing a bad job at all. If anything, I suspect he’d be asking his agent to get him a new contract. He’s an utter berk. He will need sacking, I just hope levy isn’t intoxicated by his bullshit when they meet and keep him on. Never underestimate Levy to not do the wrong thing!
 
Fucking Captain Excuse fraud.

He is now building narrative that we looked as we looked because of rotation.

Well, West Ham, Everton, even freaking Southampton were bigger deal at Anfield in recent weeks than us. But this fraud is unable to lose with at least minimal level of dignity without having strongest squad on the pitch. Btw with VdV and Romero this ends 4:1 at best, but still - excuse is there so why not use it.

And to be think some happy clappers want him still here if we win EL. Disguisting as well.
 
I love the fact that we're in a semi final, and all of a sudden it's "second rate" or "the opposition has been crap".

Honestly, you'd think we're serial winners and that we're better than this trophy, when in reality we've been dogshit in terms of winning silverware for near 2 decades. Why is it when we have a chance to win something do our fans suddenly decide it's not worthwhile or we fluked it? You think Newcastle care that it's "only the league cup"? Their fans had one of the best days of their footballing lives, and I want that as well.


League season has been horrific, the worst in my lifetime as a Spurs fan. If it ends with a European trophy, I won't be looking back in 10 years and thinking 'remember that season we finished 16th', I'll be saying 'remember that season we won a European trophy?'

I don't want Ange here next season either, and the league form is unforgiveable, but let's not pretend winning Europa is some sort of failure when in fact it's a huge success.
