Aside from winning the league with Moneychester Shitty, he hasn't done squat

I was talking to my old man about him at half time, and put Eddie Howe up as a comparison. He worked a lot of miracles at Bournemouth, but couldn't maintain it as he had the best of his team sold from under him.

He then got the Newcastle gig and, after a bit of up and down, has got them both a cup and CL. Maybe by the skin of his teeth, but he's still building a squad to compete at the very highest level.

I can see that kind of managerial ability in Frank TBH. He may not have any honours to his name as yet, but every manager starts out at 0 until they get the opportunity.

Of course there will be reservations, but his actual abilities as a coach shouldn't really be up for questioning.

If we do part ways with AP, which I do think will be the upshot regardless, we could do a lot worse than Frank.

Agree with your comments, and I think Ange has probably peaked
But the current squad is inferior to Pochettino's reign
I think Romero leaves in the summer, just think we're on a downward spiral
Will Levy do what's needed this Summer to improve us bringing in the players to strengthen the squad
I'm definitely not holding my breath on that one, but hope he proves me wrong
COYFS!!!!!!!

4 x Coppa Italia winner (twice with Inter, 1 with Fiorentina and 1 with Lazio)
2 x Supercoppa Italiana winner with Inter
3 x Serie A winner with Inter (back to back to back)

And the 2020 Euros.

To say that Mancini has done nothing is blatantly false.

Ok, I stand corrected. But he's not really relevant anymore, he's in the Saudi league lol. Hasn't really won anything since the 2020 Euros.

Just curious, since the Ange innies have been rampant the last few days, if a return to our regular form has had any effect on their thinking

Ok. Again, why do you care? Do you think someone out there is going to make a point that encourages you to change your mind? Are you looking for keen and sharp debate?

Or are you using a defeat to make a point against your fellow Spurs supporters?

Agree. If Ange is replaced, his successor at a minimum needs to be coming in with EPL experience AND having won a trophy. Only Oliver Glasner (Europa League and FA Cup) fits the bill, not even Poch fits this criteria.

I don't agree that Premier League experience should have any bearing. How much PL experience did Slot have before coming here. Glasner himself, did he need it to do a good job at Palace? That's before we get to Guardiola, Klopp, Ancelotti and the like and their lack of PL experience before they tore the place up.. It's a big world of football out there, and if we are going to replace the manager, we shouldn't be limiting our scope based on a criteria that doesn't reflect a managers quality whatsoever.

That's my point though, now that he won this trophy even a mutual agreement makes no sense for him.

Why would he lose money (compared to the scenario where he gets full compensation by waiting to get sacked) AND move on to a smaller job AFTER reaching the biggest height of his managerial career? In his mind he would be succeeding downwards.

This cup win has changed the whole dynamic of this situation. He has the leverage now. He either keeps the biggest job of his life, or gets sacked with his reputation intact+ a hefty payout in his pocket. Win-Win for him.

I agree that he’s more in a position of power in the situation, but there’s a certain amount t of PR for both sides at play, and contractually we don’t know what tools either side has.

In the end, it would be good for a mutual agreement message. Ange just isn’t the right guy going forward and Ange has to know the league results haven’t been acceptable.

Best for both sides to celebrate what was accomplished, shake hands, and just agree to move on.
