They didn’t like him enough to turn up week after week and put in acceptable performances. They only liked him enough to give it their all in a cup tournament.

I can't watch another league season where we get dominated by all the prem teams again
We have been sussed out and got a run in the europa the cl teams will be a different proposition not to mention prem teams sussing us out. Will he adapt i don't think he will in the league
No shit, Sherlock.People really just hate anything that interferes with their good feelings.
Yep but as I feared sentimentality has seeped again and it seems he will likely stay I'm just hoping paratici has a say in this when he comes in.Prem & CL teams are a different stratosphere to the Europa league. Which is why this fucking fraud chucked it all at the Europa league anyway - it’s the only competition he knew he could do something in.
Can you imagine this side under his coaching dealing with Barca, PSG etc? It doesn’t bare thinking about. Alkmaar, Frankfurt and United gave us fierce contests FFS.

Yeah these 2 takes pretty much sum it up for me.Fuck it!
Let’s get this man some really top notch assistants and go again!
I'm no more sure than you
2019 had a higher dopamine hit in the moment we scored, but this feels way better. We beat Ajax, it felt absolutely wonderful at the moment, but in the back of the head there was a voice thinking "job is not done". When that final whistle went on Wednesday, that relief was the best feeling I've ever had.
If I say how confident I am about this squad for next season, the usuals won’t be able to keep their shit together so I’ll save it for later.
Ange will go into recruitment phone calls on zoom with the 4 top buttons undone, chest hair and a gold chain swinging.
The irony is, had we lost on Wednesday, our prospects for a new manager would have been EXTREMELY dim, this would be a job to absolutely flee from, and yet it would have been a simple decision, Ange had failed, time to move onto something else, even if it's a mediocrity like Marco Silva (and even he might not have taken the job).
But by winning, Ange has made the job MUCH more attractive (CL qualification and money is a big deal, but also getting the trophy monkey off the club's back makes it IMMESURABLY less toxic of an environment) and so now that he's in the frame to retain the job, his potential competition is much stronger.
I really only have two takes to offer on the situation.
1. I think it would behoove the club to take a second to breathe and think it over. What are the summer squad needs looking like and what is the backroom structure making those decisions? What kind of tactics does Ange even want to play moving forward? How strong is his support in the dressing room really? Hard to have good, confident answers to these questions in the fog of victory.
2. I am resolved not to be mad either way. It's a tricky one.
Right, yeah, that's a good way to frame it. Not sure how promising that avenue looks, even with the CL boon.

I wanted to stop crying like an idiot, and I couldn't. For 20 minutes. Nothing compares to winning an actual trophy, especially a European one.
If reputations do count, were do we stand in the PL?Yeah these 2 takes pretty much sum it up for me.
Wednesday night changed everything in a way many of us never envisaged, mainly because we were all so numb for a few months + we’d all forgotten how good/transformative a significant trophy can be. I had the best day of my Spurs life in Bilbao (I’ve been a season ticket holder since 1988) and Ange was my manager. I don’t want to forget that in a hurry.
It is not like Ten Haag winning the FA cup, it’s much much more than that. You only had to watch that parade to realise that.
So personally, I’ve pretty much done a handbrake turn at 100 mph on the M1. I’m not convinced keeping him is the right move, but how can we sack him now. I think we’d be a laughing stock in many circles if we did. And no that’s not a consideration for any business decision but the football world is a bit different and reputations count.
I’m an Ange fan again. And it’s irrational. But FUCK IT!!
I’d give you a proper reply but it’s not appropriate to make fun of mentally disabled people.
