Agree with this.
I think some fresh faces, in top quality coaches to support the vision is needed.

Kindly disagree with last paragraph (that he knows he can deliver in the league).
In my opinion he just knows that despite winning EL - he doesn't get job at any other PL team. And i am not sure about other Top5 leagues.
please answer why we had so many injuries.
If the word "luck" features, go away and do it again
entirely sef-inflicted.
Even Celtic had a ton of hammies and they can coast in 90% of their SPL matches.
he's coming up to retirement age FFS
He shouldnt be "learning on the job" at his age
there's a feckin good reason why he never got a PL gig until he's near a free bus pass
I can think of it. You?
you need to put her on ignore. I did a year ago and my Dr. has been amazed at my drop in blood pressure

Entirely self-inflicted?
lol
Solanke, Maddison, Kulusevski Bergvall all self inflicted
Romero coming back from a foot injury and doing his quad… self inflicted
We were a mess in our medical department and Ange definitely wished he’d taken VDV off earlier but holding onto to every injury like it was the managers fault is bonkers
I have him on ignore now but I'm sure he will pop in to say he was celebrating with people, say congrats and how he enjoyed it and will likely be eerily quiet fora few months about trophies being the most important thing for the club to focus on.
Its so weird how he and some others find SOOOOOOOOO much time to post after we lose, yet they are just sooooooo busy after we win.
Such a coincidence.
Ask player or chairmen in a big club - like Man City, Real M., Barca, Bayer - if they prefer to reach a CL final and lose or win the EL...
Big clubs think big which is why they aim high.
So, by your logic, since it's much easier to win the EL than the CL, Spurs not aim for top 4/5 because then they'll qualify for the CL but aim lower because then they'll stand a chance of winning a trophy.
Hey, why not just get relegated so Spurs can win the Championship.
I am happy Spurs won that trophy naturally, but I am not getting carried away.
But good to see you laugh at your own small-mind club mentality
It's been interesting experiencing the reactions to Ange as someone who grew up in Aus, who remembers watching his Brisbane Roar tear the league apart, coaching the national side, and his unwavering devotion to Australian football.
I don't think he's cut out for this level of footy long term (and his league management has been appalling at times), but some of the awful shit levelled at him (on this forum and elsewhere) has been galling to read... especially for a man who's just achieved what few else at the club have.
Let’s be crystal clear:
EPL form this season and winning the European trophy are not contradictions—they’re chapters in the same story.
Ange Postecoglou didn’t “fluke” silverware. He chose to prioritise identity, belief, and front-foot football—even when the table didn't flatter him. He wasn’t managing for applause after 38 games. He was reshaping a club's DNA.
Yes, there were losses. Yes, there was risk. But while some fans screamed for pragmatism, Ange laid the groundwork for something lasting. He had the guts to take short-term pain for long-term success—and now, he has silverware to prove it.

Some of you are stuck in Stage Two. But Ange? He’s already lifting trophies.

The most Spurs manager in history.
I have to say for a manager with supposedly so little coaching ability he's been lucky .
Cash?So why do all the big clubs then aim for the CL and not the EL?
Winning to the EL is far easier than winning the CL...so, according to your logic, the bigger teams should then opt to play in the EL instead of the CL
I rather aim high and fail than aim low and succeed.
PS! But that does not mean I am not appreciating the EL win yesterday!
Did they have a donation fund raiser for that privileged information that’s been a rumour in the public domain for weeks?!
Regardless of the stay/go arguments, it's evidently utter nonsense to suggest that any manager can win a major European trophy with "0 tactical abilities".
I genuinely can't think of one single point of comparison between Ange Postecoglou and Donald Trump.
OK Ange Inners:
where do we go from here?
A low block Jose style?
Because that win the other day was like Dyche ball on steroids. Is that the plan next season? Hoofing the ball up to the half way line to no one just to get some respite at the back.
Because you need to give your heads a wobble guys. Was it Real Madrid we beat? Was it Barca? Was it PSG? Was it LFC?
No. It was the team that will finish in 16th in the PL. Below all those giants like Brentford, Palace, FFC, Cherries. A MUFC that have dived this season under that abolsute clown Amorim. A man who insists on playing a formation that he has no players for. They're on about ONE PPG last few weeks. A team where ONE of their players, Bruno F, would get into ours. ONE. We are better everywhere else on the pitch.
And in the cold light of day, that game the other day was utter shit. Yes we won (that's the importatn bit of course) but if you think we have to play that way to beat the worst MUFC team I've seen since 1974 then I'm out. And that worst team for 50 years still gave us a really uncomfortable 30 mins I've ever had watching Spurs.
If that's waht we want, then it would make sense to get the Real McCoy for that plan. Step forward Allardyce or Dyche.

Word salad bullshit, every word.
Maybe try to write it again in plain English and less of the psychobabble
Has anyone seen this
not seen since Tuesday evening, another one that was fuming at the final whistle on Wednesday, no doubt
