Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I definitely hear both arguments

There is no argument worthy of the name to keep Postecoglou, because he has shown that he needs the highest calibre of player during a season to be competitive.

That he won a trophy for us is something incredible, but there are for more managers who win knockout competitions than win titles, or even get their teams regularly in let's say top 3 positions.

If Levy's silence means no change, then unless we buy 4/5 players of quality, we are consigned to another PL season of dross.

I absolutely refuse to be sucked in by the emotion, and strip that aside, and you aren't left with enough.
 

No idea if Ange stays or goes or should do either of these things but phrases like "the latest I’m hearing" strip my fucking gears.

Rudolph Pat Bateman, you're hearing nothing whatsoever. You're a tragic cybernerd who makes things up on the internet and would sniff your sister's knickers if she hadn't left home twenty odd years ago.

There absolutely is, you're being totally ignorant if you're shutting down the argument you're opposing, on either side.
 
Farioli has only been mentioned about a week ago , and suddenly he’s a wanted man,
Just My opinion - we have a lot of young players on loan and in the academy that need a manager with fresh ideas and a different approach . I'm fed up of having managers that want to come in and buy players and still don't win anything because they're stuck in their ways . He's young and develops young players
 
For some it certainly it is!

Keeping Ange will be based on pure emotion rather than the objective evidence of the last 18 months. I think it’s difficult to argue otherwise.

I’ll certainly get behind him if he stays (even if I think it’s the wrong decision).

For some, the objective evidence is our first European trophy in 41 years, our first trophy altogether in 17 years and Champions League football.

The poor league form is a valid argument for wanting him gone, but equally the EL trophy is a valid argument for wanting him to stay.
 
I just hope that Ange doesn't mind if he's sacked. His compensation plus EL bonus (about 12mil) make a nice pension. He's near 60 and he can enjoy life with his wife and kids while coaching a less demanding and toxic club.

I, for example, would prefer to earn 5mil/year work and stress free in a nice sunny place like his beloved Greece than having to deal with Levy and toxic fans calling me names.
 
Nothing decided and wont be for a week or so.


It is believed that any decision to be made by chairman Daniel Levy about the Australian is unlikely to occur this week with most staff, including Postecoglou, heading straight off on their post-season holidays after the final game of the season against Brighton. No meetings are understood to have taken place before that happened.

football.london understands that there remains a chance the 59-year-old could stay in place as head coach after ending Spurs' long trophy drought, which has brought a huge surge of gratitude from the fanbase behind Postecoglou and a feeling among many of them that he has earned the right to carry on into next season.
 

The really concerning thing is this started in the last third of the previous season. This isnt a dip in form, injuries or concentrating on the Europa, its systemic. 28 league defeats out of the last 49 games.

Why does anyone think this will improve? What happens, as is quite possible given the trajectory, we lose 3 or 4 of our first 5 games next season? He isnt getting 5 top class players this summer and even if we did manage that would you not rather see them under a good manager? You shouldnt have to buy world class talent to prop up your inadequate manager anyway.

As ever with these owners we need a manager that can improve individuals and get more out of the team than the sum of its parts and that certainly isnt Postecoglou.

Good too see we will miss out on top players that would be available

Love the Europa League and still in awe of it, but the lack of structure whilst playing in his second season isn't good

Get rid

Its a good sign for AngeOut scenario. Levy will just wait week or something, trophy winning euphoria will decrease a little bit - and then Levy will pull the trigger.

I just hope that in the meantine we already started pursuing new players.

Need this sorted by next week at the latest. Our rivals are all already moving.
