Imagine if he goes to Forest and without Europe obligations, wins the League 😀
(He will never go to Forest even if he has an offer. Marinakis is the exact opposite of Ange's ethos).

Forest will have Europe no?

But I could 100% see him having a big season with that squad and Forest fans absolutely loving him

Marinakis is Greek though, Ange is Greek. Ethos is a Greek word, it can mean anything they want

What is the obsession with how many games we've lost? I'm not defending Ange but 8 of them came during that December/January decimated squad period and another 6 in April/May where we've been rightly fielding second strings.

Obviously our league form has been abysmal but anyone focused solely on the number of the losses is one of those Spurs fans who just loves to hate everything and probably wants us to lose tonight so they can moan about the manager and chairman.

I think that's a fair point, and also, the transfer windows have been shocking. We've basically picked up Solanke and Danso - one starter and one back-up CB. The rest were all intended to be for the future and no real use in a dog-fight with injuries piling up, but we had to use them.

Levy seems to focus on turning cheap into sellable, rather than really investing in tried-and-tested quality players that are fit for top-4. Ok, so that's harder when you aren't actually in the top 4 (to attract them, pay the prices and wages), but we were there for long enough and didn't exactly buy many quality top-4 proven players. We got lucky with some, but many were dogs, or injury prone.
 
If we win, despite how you feel about him now, I think Ange will become a club hero. His sentiment amongst fans is at an all time low. But in hindsight I think some will look back at his naivety and call it sheer determination. The guy is a professional bullshitter, maybe one of the best of all time, but I think the history books will call him a hard working dreamer, who through grit and guts got a PL job and took Spurs to a European final. Yes, he is an over-achiever way out of his depth and I want him gone next season, but you have to admire the journey. Just look at the timeline.... Mourinho, Conte, Postecoglou...... he's such an unlikely candidate to give us the trophy we so crave. This situation is absolutely bonkers, he couldn't be more up against the wall. And I wouldn't put it past him to pull it off, I think he's that sort of person. I think he thrives on proving people wrong
 
Will be avoiding this thread tonight, regardless of the outcome.

I don’t care if we win or lose, he needs to go and no amount of revisionist history is going to change the facts about his tenure.

That being said, I hope he wins because I love this football club and we are long overdue the feeling that winning a trophy brings.

I get this. But is Juande Ramos a club hero?
Although I guess the Europa is bigger than the Milk Cup.

Basically, once cl qualification was not probable or possible via the league the focus was the EL. This is why I think Ange hasn't been fired and why he wont if we win today. He will have achieved what the club want, a trophy and CL qualification.

I get what you're saying. To elaborate, i think Ange will become like a joke, the basis of it being, isn't it funny that he was so shit yet he got us over the line, and people will chant his name ironically. Then over time that will turn to a sort of cult hero status.
Ramos isn't very memeable and is largely forgettable. It's not just the achievement, it's the story around person, and he's generated such strong feelings.

If we don’t win tmrw I don’t see how his position is tenable. I’m sure he’d resign Thursday morning as no way he takes charge of Brighton game. He’d be picking fights with everyone. Prbly more dignified exit by resigning before.

No way he will resign whatever happens as he will lose his big pay day, the last chance he’ll ever have!

Hopefully Levy will make the decision for him by text!
