Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I want this shit sorted this week one way or the other. We need to get moving in the window really quickly because other teams aren't hanging around. Need 7-8 signings in before the start of next season or we are in big, big trouble
 
I do think it's criminal how we've sacked off the league. It's an insult to the fans who pay their hard earned to go and watch, travelling, staying over etc. Look at Palace, won the fa cup last weekend, first ever major trophy, hammered us in the lead up, won the thing, 3 days later turned wolves over. Gave Liverpool a game today.

It's so unprofessional and downright embarrassing how we have behaved as a club leading up to the final. And since tbh. It comes across very small time. I also find it quite incredible how many fans are accepting of it too.

We finished 17th. There are no signs it's getting better. Ange, thank you for your part in Wednesday, but we should move on.

Good post. but mate we didn't sack off the league. Where has this narrative come from? It's come from Ange, who simply said it because it was a way to excuse all the bad league results he had, to make it look like it was part of his plan. He's a lying self serving prick.

We were trying as hard as we could in the league, but Ange is such a bad manager that we simply kept losing. That's all there is to it. I am not denying that when we got to the Quarter Finals of the Europa, Ange decided to play a slightly weakened team in the league, but that was literally just a few weeks ago. We were already about 17th at that stage and suffered about 18 losses.

AND, the team that did play in the league was still good enough to get some wins, but we didn't, we kept losing.

As I have said all along, the guy is a liar, a self serving clown, who is lying directly to the fans to make make excuses as if to say "it's not my fault". I will dance with glee when he's sacked
 

Yeah he’s got to go. No self respecting manager calls this season outstanding or pretends to be baffled when even asked that. A simple the league season has been nowhere near the standard but we have won something and can be proud of that yet still have loads of work to do would’ve been fine.

Instead he can’t do it. He has to act insulted and like his shit now doesn’t stink because we beat United in a final. He has to put himself on a pedestal and big what he’s done up. Which by the way - I would expect this exact same sort of reaction from Jose. It’s the sort of ego you can get away with when you’re up there with the very best only.

hes fuming that his gaslighting hasnt worked on everyone, theres people that are pulling him up on his shit and he hates that.

its fascinating in a way, doubt we will see a case like this again! a bloke so out of his depth but he has a way to get simpletons on board, and theres a fucking load of them too! its quite scary really.

hes actually got these morons thinking hes built a winning culture while weve lost 25 games in a season or whatever it is LOOOL its actually insulting.

This is in part why there can’t be any hope of Ange achieving different results in the future. We look like relegation candidates for most of the season, let four goals in this very day, record losses, on and on - but he’s utterly convinced he’s never made an error.

Can't remember disliking any of our managers as much as this guy.
 
We didn't though, did we. It's just retrospective bullshit from Ange.

"The league? Nah, wasn't bovvered mate"

The excuse changes and we get gaslit into a new reason. "Too many games", "too many injuries", "wasn't trying to"

There's just no observable evidence to support that. In the league, he's been one of the worst managers the league has ever seen. At least relegated clubs can point to budgets and quality.
110% he has been trying to win league games. He's been rattled like a charity tin throughout the losing streak, so it doesn't fit
Yep, it doesn’t parse. Either we weren’t trying in those games or all of his comments about performances not being good enough were all a lie.

We were trying and failing and winning allowed him to set the narrative that we had been prioritizing the cup for months.
 
i've done a complete 180 ...he's got to go
Think I'm doing a complete 180 too. Today was a reminder of all the bad of this season, which might be too much to overcome. The fact it's still being debated jist might be the answer. If you take emotion out and just look at the stats, there's really only one answer and that is he has to go. What a predicament we're in. 🤦‍♂️😂
 
He's a fucking moron. I don't believe for a second that he masterminded the Europa League win. If he had his way the team would have still been playing that kamikaze shit.

Kind of similar to the Juande Ramos situation for me.

Hopefully we get rid and some other Premier League team gives him a chance based on the erroneous belief he's a winner.

Yeah, beginning to think that winning allows him to make up the excuse about prioritizing the cup. Doesn't add up
 
Most players don’t come back from long injury lay offs and hit top form.
It takes time to get your fitness and sharpness back.

Why do you think there is a preseason?

Very rarely does a player who misses 6+ weeks ever get top form that season, they are simply set to far back from the rest of the pro’s.
