Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not a single person will be as devastated at him being sacked as you will be if he stays.

Thankfully he won't stay so I won't be devastated.

In all seriousness, I do understand emotionally why some want him to stay, I do get that, but it's still absolutely stupid, baseless, and would be a monumental mistake.

If the club decide to keep Ange, it will confirm to me we are very much run by a bunch of clowns.

You can't decide Ange isn't good enough to be manager after a absymal season finishing 17th, and then change your mind because he won a cup. It's really short sighted.
 
The wave of positivity I predicted is now well and truly here.
Fans, media, even rival pundits making all the noise that'll make it harder and harder to sack him.

The best team we beat in this, the first Europa League with no CL sides in it, was Man United. 16th in the PL and an absolute laughing stock here. We did it by parking the bus.

He's going to keep his job.
He's going to start next season in charge.
Everyone will be injured by October.
Again.
We will have to play good teams in Europe so no hiding behind a 3-0 win Vs Qarabag.
with 10 men for 80 mins bro
 
Why would they release a statement backing him, straight after a trophy win? I don’t think you can read anything into it right now.

My guess is he starts next season.

I don't expect there to be right now, but there's going to be leaks and noise either way, either that we are 100% on board and Ange is our man, or we are looking at replacements. All should become clear within the next week I would imagine.

It will be a fucking disaster.


The club have such a great opportunity now to build on this new momentum.

Wouldn't it be so very Spurs, the club decide to stick with Ange, next season starts like this season has been for months, and all the toxicity returns and people screaming for him to be sacked and all the momentum and goodwill is wasted as we end up battling relegation.

The idea we suddenly start competing for top 5 places under Ange next season is delusional. Just watch us under him, we are an awful football team, so poorly coached. There is no evidence that next season we will see a miraculous turnaround. It's purely blind hope because people like Ange.

And just wait to see what happens in the CL under him, we'll get battered.

Man Utd were nowhere near the best team we beat...

Frankfurt finished 3rd in Bundesliga automatically qualifying for the Champions League group stage
Bodø/Glimt won Eliteserien qualifying for the final play off round for the Champions League group stage and by the way they knocked out Lazio who are currently 6th in Serie A and still have a chance to finish 4th and automatically qualify the Champions League group stage.
Whilst we didn't beat them (we had no Vic, VDV, Romero, Bentancur, Kulu or Solanke and Udogie was unused sub), Galatasaray won Super Lig automatically qualifying for the Champions League group stage
We also beat the team who knocked out Sociedad, Lyon and the team who are currently 3rd in LaLiga and will automatically qualify for the Champions League group stage.

Too many people are buying into a false narrative that the Europa League is crap. It's bullshit. Yeah people are happy, overjoyed, delighted and maybe some will turn 360. So be it, enjoy the summer, enjoy the winning feeling because it might be another 17 years before you feel it again.

Didn't look poorly coached on Thursday did we... look, most people want him gone and I still think he will depart but if some on here have changed their mind. So be it, it's okay... I must admit I am having seconds thoughts... that stupid record when our back five plays vs when it doesn't is quite compelling. Honestly I'm confused. For so long, I have wanted him to go but if Levy decides to keep him then I'll suck it up and see what the new season holds.

It's Qarabag. We should beat them with 10 men.

Man United beat the 4th best side in Spain, the hosts none the less.
It's lovely to win something, but let's not try to act as if it was a huge effort against European heavyweights. Most of the teams us and United knocked out would be bottom half of the PL or lower league.

We played Wednesday.
 
They are utterly mental if they give him another season.

The likes of Antonio, Jose, Poch and likely Nuno would have walked that tournament this year with the current squad and teams we faced and there are quite a few of the teams that would have dropped down that would give us a good game even in the new format.

The change in format from the smaller groups in both CL and EL has been a worse format and lessened both competitions IMO.
 
Before the EL I’d have agreed. Fuck, most summers I’d agree but the ego can kick in at times like this.

Levy has seen protests and banners made about him, he’s got the opportunity to make a point this summer… I just wonder
The biggest stick to beat levy/enic with is the one league cup in 23 years - he will be more made up than anyone to add an Europa league winner to the honours list delivered by Ange
Ange has been saying the club have identified the need to add experience to the young squad so I expect the cheque book to come out and ange to stay as manager

Whether you, I or any other spurs fan likes him or not...totally disregarding the wave of positivity he'll be getting from this win, because of this major achievement, he has earnt at least one more season serving up as much crap football as he pleases in the PL with us!

We are not a team that is expected to win trophies, quite the opposite as we all know all too well. He has done something no other manager has been able to do at our club in FOURTY ONE years......... Let's take a moment to reflect on that....smell the roses and truly recognise what's been achieved here.......

Easier said than done with these sort of hypotheticals, but I would of (through gritted teeth!) been willing to accept at least another three years of awfully executed #angeball, if it meant us winning this trophy.

But the excuses. Think of the glorious excuses we'll enjoy.

Winning a trophy is great, but that doesn't mean I want to sign on to sitting through week after awful week of what we saw this season.

Holding role for next season after he wins a trophy , followed by another messy season , followed by Poch return after the World Cup . I can live with that even if my preference is a new guy now

I couldn't agree more. But the reality is, at the risk of repeating myself...despite his woeful football in the PL this season, he's just won us our first major trophy in fourty one years. It's not ideal, but he's earnt himself another season with us, unless of course, he continues serving us up gash football and endless losses in the PL.

The bare minimum we need is much more experience in the assistant coaching staff were Ange to stay on.
