Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don’t know how to feel. I’m just glad that I’m not the one making a decision about his future.

This season has been terrible, but one of the criticism’s Ange has had, is that he doesn’t adapt or have a plan b. But in the Europa, he has adapted, and it was that defensive approach he adopted that won us the competition. I just wish we had seen more of that in the league.

People may not think much of him as a coach and that’s fair enough, but some of the absolute dogs abuse he’s had to endure not only from the media but from this fanbase has been disgusting at times.

Whatever happens, I’ll always be grateful to him for finally bringing us this trophy.

It’s really tricky - players seem to love him.

Maybe get Fabio to sort some decent coaches and take a little of the pressure from Ange-ball away? We have a Plan A, we now have a plan-Z (low block)…perhaps someone more tactical as AM (assistant manager, not attacking MF)…just need to squeak though till the fairly inevitable Poch return.
 
The best way out of this dilemma is; we can't sack him now, give him time till Christmas, keep if PL performances improved massively otherwise show him the door.
 
If Ange does go then whoever he's coaching in his second season, I hope we don't have to play that team in the final. He said he wins in the second season and he gets us a big fuck off trophy to prove it - one that I didn't for one second believe he was up to achieving at this level.

Smash that egg in my face you big grizzly bastard.

 
Does that surprise you?

Most of these people find misery in everything the club does and do their best to spin everything into a negative, the playing down of potentially winning this comp was the funniest thing I've read on here all because people don't like the manager and all because they're so desperate not to be wrong...we didn't hear anything of this under previous managers by the way.

Imagine doing essays 6 hours before your club's biggest match for years about the manager and moaning at fans getting behind him, they are beyond help.
100% and you were right to call me out for replying to some of them yesterday.

Best day of my life and I seriously regret losing those 10/15 mins of that special day engaging with them toxic people
 
Been saying for a while that I think he’ll stay on, regardless of what happened last night. I still think that’s the case.

I’ve also been saying I’d like to see him replaced in the summer.

However, I have to admit to being more than a bit intrigued as to how he’d get on next season. Tells us that he wanted to change the club by winning g a trophy. Shall we take the risk that it has changed our mentality? Does winning the cup compensate for the league season?

If we have a chance at Emery, Klopp, or someone of that standing, we should take that, but I’m less intrigued by Silva, Iriola and Frank as I am with giving Ange another go.
 
I'm grateful for what he's done for us, but let him leave on a high.

League form is what you need to be judged on, not a cup competition.
 
Can we at least have some confirmation that he always avoids relegation in his third season before we commit to this??

Looking at his managerial record doesn’t look like he’s been at any club for a full 3 seasons.

So we are heading into new territory if he can last another full season at Spurs
.
Who knows what could happen??
The treble??? Or mid table mediocrity and a CL campaign from the Gods??
 
It’s exactly the Ten Haag situation last summer but exacerbated because we don’t win trophies regularly so emotions are heightened.

They kept Ten Haag, it was the wrong decision, and fucked them over for the next year. We are probably going to repeat that mistake.

Sometimes the hard decision is the right one. Keeping him is probably the easy way out.

Not really.

Another summer of Ange recruitment helps this squad build regardless of who the manager is. Ten Hag saddled them with old, high wage, cloggers that they can't get off the wage bill.

Ange had a horrible PL season and an amazing cup season. The decision to stick with him is much more complicated now he has won something and anyone claiming they know what to do is chatting shit.

But the real kicker is what we do in the transfer market, not what we do with the manager.
 
To be fair, I would take relegation and a Champions League.

Being the defending Champions League champions in the Championship would be maximum banter, I'm not going to lie.

I mean, winning last night was maxiumu banter - no other fans are able to say a word - was a terrible game - not one for thenutrals at all - but not one knows how to react - every other footie fan is just baffled and lost for words - its amazing.
 
i still think i'd take Xavi, mostly to see him develop the likes of bergvall. But it seems to me that the players , all of them really like him and are behind him so might not be a great idea
