Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I suspect it will take the next manager a good year to sort this squad out and repair them mentally. Whoever it is I’m not going to be expecting much. Perfect really, nothing Levy likes more than lowering people’s expectations.
Yep, another rebuild season on the cards. Perfect for Levy, lower expectations, calls for patience with new manager and squad bedding in. I mean it will be all of those things but its a bit boy who cried wolf. This would be around our 6th rebuild in 7 years.
 
There's 0 context to the 'days lost' stat

Who got injured for Brighton? were they key injuries to first teamers? Does that include subs and players who normally wouldn't feature etc...
Agree entirely - can’t understand why Ange is still here but (for whatever reason) - we seem to have been disproportionately hit with injuries to our first 11ish. It’s misleading to judge purely on days lost if 150 of them are to your 3rd choice keeper (for example) whilst the 1st choice plays on happily week-in, week-out.

If you keep appointing the wrong managers or not giving the right managers the tools they want then that’s what will happen.
 
This has all been secretly planned for ages. By August the Stadium will have been transformed and we will be in a position to take the Wheelchair Soccer Scene by storm, under Ange.

The squad's in training already. Why do you think they chopped the oak tree down?

Yep. Wrong managers, poor scouting, poor people appointed on elsewhere like Hitchen, Munn etc . Yet the untouchable trio of Levy, Cullen, Colecott remain to appont the next hapless 18 month victims with zero consequences.

What I don’t get is why they haven’t learned about buy cheap buy twice. You hire cheap medical team, cheap scouting, cheap Scott Munn you end up spending far more on players as many won’t be good enough and have to be replaced. Trossard isn’t a world beater but he is decent and we pulled out, we got Danjuma, Solomon and Werner in that time who where not the level required and now have gone for Tel so spent 2-3 years trying to fix a hole.

Sometimes we make a really good call like Bergvall but it’s far to hit or miss to sustain anything. It’s not been till recent that our youth team has produced anyone with great potential (Moore, Williams-Barnett, Donley) and a lot of that apparently goes back to Paratici who did a lot of work when he was here to fix it.

For a club that wants to be cheap buying players getting a weak youth set up, weak scouting is the opposite of how you control costs. They don’t understand to save £100m over there you need to spend £10m more over here. If we had City or Chelsea level youth production we would have saved a fortune, even Woolwich now have quite a number of talents in the first team.

The whole operation reeks of amateur. Which is the opposite of our property operation which is first rate. The club feels like a property company that has a football club attached to it. They don’t understand football, the game of football I mean not the contracts and legal, they know that well and as such they spend far more than they need to because they don’t get buying second rate product costs more down the line.

Really good post young Skywalker. No drama just an honest reflection on what has been a horrible season. What I worry about most is the lasting damage Ange has done to the club. An underwhelming summer and a poor start under a new manager next season and it will be another season of protests and humiliation. Even when Ange is finally sacked he will cast a dark shadow over this club for a few more seasons.
Yeah, it could potentially be worse than what we have currently endured.
I did raise concerns over ange last season, and was done with him after the chelsea farce, no decent manager would have set the team up like that totally bonkers.
Both ange and Enic need to go, sadly only the former will leave.
 
He's gone regardless 💯 paratici is no doubt working behind the scenes here
Anyone that think he's staying needs to remember what Paratici thought of the soon to be appointed Fonseca. Pulled the plug on a deal 99% done because he didnt think his sides defended and didnt take him seriously. Pretty much ruined by then trying to appoint Gattuso before settling on Nuno but still. I think its safe to say what he thinks of the arrogant one.

Yeah if Paratici comes back there is zero chance of Ange continuing. He would never accept such an amateur as head coach. The club needs to start raising standards not continue to lower them.

He lost the plot fulham away march 2024. Ange well and truly outclassed by a fairly mediocre manager that day. Signed and sealed losing 5 games in a row end of last season.
 
The Europa Cup Final is a nightmare to you?
Maybe its enough for you, but i dont find it interesting playing meaningfull games once in 3 weeks.

So yeah, current state of things is a nightmare to me cause i am skipping watching Tottenham games like first time since i started following them frequently like 18 years ago or something.

Altough, keep this fraud for next season - and we will have meaningfull games every week cause we will face relegation battle. Then you clown will come back with the question whether just being in Premier League is a nightmare to me as well?
