Fucking hope notSurely there's only one outcome no matter the result of Europa.
If we lose he's gone.
If we win, he's gone but with his head held high and still with some credibility on his CV.
It's a no brainer for Ange that he leaves even if we win as leaving ten games into next season would lose him any of the benefit of the doubt from winning the Europa.
But........managers are a strange breed...... He may not look at it like that.....if he truly believes in his methods then he may believe that he can be a success in his third season and try and get one more go.
That was what amazed me.
If they're happy to have another season like this, they're clearly not spurs fans!
He essentially admitted he can't manage two competitions, and since we will be in the CL next year he is definitely gone.
The Spurs boardroom:I’ll be unfollowing SpursOfficial on Instagram if Ange is here next season .. that’ll show ‘em!
In all seriousness, he won’t be staying on, not a chance.
Alternatively he could just junk the EPL , get us relegated by early Feb ; thereby allowing for a successful unencumbered campaign in the Champions League. Bonza !
Sometimes you have to think outside the box , just like Ange seemingly does .
And imagine this place when it all comes off and everything falls into place .
Not even football fans !!If they're happy to have another season like this, they're clearly not spurs fans!
I still remember fans calling for Alex Fergerson to be sacked after taking United from 2nd in his first season, to subsequent 11th & 13th finishes. It was only the FA Cup win in his 3rd season that kept him his job.
It wasn't until his 5th season that he finally got the team back into the top 4, and a league cup trophy on the board.

Modern football doesn't have the patience to allow a club to rebuild. The failure of the golden era of Poch; and subsequent let downs of Mourinho and Conte has frustrated the fanbase, who have completely lost patience.
So, many fans and pundits agreed that Spurs need to get a trophy in the cabinet to overcome their losing streak and kick start the club's rebirth.
Losing Europa and sacking the coach is worse case scenario. It underscores Spurs as losers and takes us right back to square one.
We need to win this cup; and the only way to achieve that with our squad made of glass was to protect our best players and gamble the league form on inexperienced and sub-par players.
Win the cup and the message is simple. Spurs are back. LEVY and the board must strengthen the squad, improve the medical facilities and ensure that the next coach has what he needs to succeed.
Why now the signs have been there since foreverI was at the Palace game.
I’m watching the Villa game on tv. Watched the West Ham game on tv. Yes I know it’s rotation. Despite that. It’s not good enough. We should be better than that. I’m now firmly Ange out.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say Ange probably isn’t as good as “Alex Fergerson”. Hell, I don’t think he’s 1% as good as Ferguson. This is an absurd take, you are a troll.
The eternal optimism in me. Plus not wanting to repeat the same under two year cycle we have been doing since Poch.
