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.
After that parade speech he’s not going anywhere
No shit, Sherlock.
WUM.
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.
The disaster that it will be next season is going to not only be on the club for their sentimentality, but some of our fans.
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 liked the way he set the team to play against the opponents in the EL knockout phase. Spurs played advantagesly and he managed to take full advantage under the different circumstances of each game.
I think his biggest problem with the step up in grade is not understanding the massive improvement in ability of both his and opposition players. One size does not all at this level. It never will and it is a level the game is constantly changing. It is this level that creates the tune of how the game danced to.
I fully agree with him about mentality. A winning mentality is something you either have or you do not have. This is the same across all professional sport. Micheal Jordon for example would play at the highest level in whatever sport he took up at Young age, and concentrated on. That's natural ability and extreme mentality all in one.
Ange has the experience now at the highest level so that is a yesterday problem. If he can make big improvements in the tactical and technical areas of the game. Who knows? Spurs may really have the start of something.
Certainly getting the right mentality in to any club and team is a very difficult exercise and a major achievement if has managed this. Who knows if that's the case.
Personally I hope he and the club do great things. Though in my hopes Spurs are first a lot of distance a few other things then Ange.
I guess I'll find out the answers to all of these things next season.

I'm no more sure than you
Just chill out
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.
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.
hes desperate to stay, he knows hes not getting another big job.
levy will probably fall for this. this is a huge lifeline for the club, weve been seriously lucky with the format change of europa league this year, we are going to ruin this lifeline i can see it now. levy is fucking clueless.
Measured and sensible response.
You sure you're in the right place?
Next year we're not winning any European league. CL teams are not dropping down anymore. We're going to suck in the league again under Ange, and we're going to be in even deeper shit going forward. This man has already ruined a lot. We need to sack after the last league game. Only an idiot would be happy with finishing 17th (or 16th if we're lucky).
Ange is a great motivator, the players love him, and he's instilled a winning mentality into them. The problem is the fact that he's not good tactically. With tonight, he's talked his way back to the fans, and has made ENIC's decision 10x harder.
I’d give you a proper reply but it’s not appropriate to make fun of mentally disabled people.
Look I’m glad about winning a trophy and REALLY glad about how it made a lot of Spurs fans- people I like- feel better. That is genuinely awesome.
I just am a severe realist and cannot pretend it was more of an accomplishment than it was.
I am also not someone who cares about “trophies”- I like it when the team is the best or close to it. I enjoy watching great sporting talent. Winning EL with this oppo, in that fashion is just not particularly satisfying for me. I really am genuinely glad people feel good about the win, and I’m resigned to watching another season of Ange ball.
I've just seen the video of Ange's speech , it certainly doesn't sound like he's going anywhere , or at least that's what he thinks .
Plus I've seen plenty of 3rd season shows where it was obvious that they should have stopped at 2 , money and emotion being the drivers .
Not sure that I'm convinced that anything will change , maybe more pragmatic when we're up with 1/2 hour to go , that will get us more points . My concern what is going to change to stop us going behind by 1 or 2 within the first 20mins because we were so exposed on the flanks because that's the way we play in the league .
He said himself that he played the cup games differently at the end because they are different from the league , so that suggests that he thinks that the way he plays is the way we play in the league .
With CL as well next season we can't afford a poor start in either the league or CL and then go "Oh shit we need to change manager and now !", that's going to be too late .
Some big decisions to make for Levy , going to be interesting .

If reputations do count, were do we stand in the PL?
