Let's be honest everyone knows he's gone. Even Ange knows.

It's just a matter of waiting until Europe is resolved one way or another.

Levy is never sacking Ange whilst we are still in Europe because if we then get knocked out managed by Wells and Mason, Levy will be the one getting all the anger.

So whilst Ange is in place, he's a shield for Levy, and if we don't win it, he can sack Ange and deflect most of the blame yet again.

It sickens me how this club is run by Levy.

Ange should have been sacked at Xmas, why the fuck didn't he do it then? I have no idea. He was already well overdue a sacking even at that stage.

Worst league season in my lifetime and I'm in my early 40s.

Yet I still woke up this morning and have been checking the news furiously to see if he'd been sacked.

I been doing this since the Ipswich loss, ain't happening and I have no Idea why either.

Disastrous decision to let him stay on after the Galatasaray and Ipswich game week.

Whats actually annoying is levy would have sacked anyone else by now, but he's giving the worst manager of the lot, the most time.

I genuinely think if Mason and Wells were still coaching the youth sides Levy would have sacked Postecoglou and promoted them, but because they are part of the set up he probably thinks it's a waste of time.

I'm just furious with the board for letting this two bob cunt do what he does, act the way he does in the name of THFC. he's a Micky mouse manager in charge of one of the worlds biggest football clubs, yet acts like he's the fucking godfather of football and we're some tinpot club in the backwaters.

He's brought the team to his level, I can't stand him now and his football is embarrassing at this level, as simple as that.

Pal, we got Nuno then Ange cause nobody serious wanted to come here. Levy had to literally beg Jose & Conte, give them the paycheck of a lifetime and make false promises (not in writing).

Nagelsmann clearly rejected us despite the club's lame attempt at disguising the truth. Enrique, Zidane, Xabi Alonso, Simone Inzaghi wouldn't shag us with a borrowed dick.

If Thomas Frank, Iraola and Marco Silva got any sense, they'll stay put.

Yep the cat is out of the bag now. Everyone knows that Spurs are not a serious club with ambition.

We can still get decent upcoming managers in the ilk of Iraola. It is a chance to come to a bigger club and a stepping stone to an elite club if things go well.

But the pretence of us trying to develop into a winning team has gone out the window now. Everyone knows what they are getting into.

Maybe it is because the media are not looking for it. In general the journalist in the press room seem to love him because he gives them plenty of column inches to fill every. The fact is if you compare the stories Alisdair Gold was writing about Conte towards the end compared to Ange you would think Conte was the manager that lost every week.

It simple Ange provides them with enough complete BS every week they don't need to go looking each week for stories.

The following is just some of the sermons he has delivered to the press room:
The evil of Camera Phones.
The evilness of VAR
The existence of a Mole
How he finished 5th last season while being 16th this season.
The media agenda against Spurs.
How you trust an experienced plumber

Every week he provides them with a new story and no one wants to miss out because they have written how poor his tactics are or his training methods are.

Don't forget this weeks classic about the stonecutters creed or whatever he is going on about...

It’s still on Vicario not to pass to one of our defenders in the box who’s clearly marked and not ready for it!

Distribution is shocking by him!

Yeah but also we set up the same way so he's being told to play out but yet Liverpool and every other club that does tactical work on the opposition know what to do every time Vicario has the ball at his feet.

What happened yesterday with most of their chances was down to their midfield runners attacking the box, Archie Gray and Bergvall had no idea how to deal with it because this buffoon doesn't care what the opposition does and just wants to focus on playing his shite regardless of the outcome.

Bodo/glimt coming here now with our confidence on the floor.
 
Every week he is just coming with more ridiculous excuses.

How about winning some fucking football games Ange? you utter fraud.

He knows he is gone, which is why all he can do is rattle off some bullshit excuses, because he can't say anything else. He is waiting for the sack so he can get his pay out. That's all it is at this stage, we are treading water and he is wheeled out after every game just to chat shit, whilst Levy sits up there using him as his human shield.

Absolutely ^^^

We are suffering the absolute highest level of corporate mismanagement imaginable (say that 3 times, quickly, if you can). Levy's laughing, Coglou's Coglouing and we're the ones who are paying for it. Literally. With money. And feelings.
 
Levy is to blame most in all of this, let's not forget that.

As an aside, in 1991 (when we won the FA Cup with Gazza and Lineker), we only won 1 out of our 15 leagues games after January, but no-one remembers that because we won the FA Cup.

Only reasons you'd come to Spurs is money, living in London and the facilities. Plus, there's no real pressure...everybody eventually fails here, winning is nice but not compulsory, defeat is acceptable.
