Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

One other benefit of him leaving is so too will the coaches who I think share some of the responsibility for the league position. There is little semblance of a system two years later, I have ask what are they doing with the players all week on the training pitches?

His Celtic side had the better of Rangers- played 11 times won 6 lost 3- at a time when Rangers were Europa League finalists, yet we struggled to get past them with our far more expensive players. How does that even work? How do you go backwards with more expensive players against a weaker opponent?

OTOH if he stays the coaches have to go.

Ange Postecoglou Tottenham future update with Daniel Levy decision pending

There is a big decision to be made at Tottenham when it comes to Ange Postecoglou's future at the north London club after ending their trophy drought
www.football.london www.football.london

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.

Levy is such an anaemic, piss-poor, weak leader.

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.

Not particularly true though - the club/ange have made been quite open that there are clearly leaks from the club. For example, I would imagine Ange and his family would have to make some kind of planning for their schools, rental etc. it would be basically impossible to keep all of that stuff 'secret'. If the club were replacing him there'd be maybe 5 different interviews/enquiries going on and those with no interest at all (let's assume xavi or whoever) aren't going to sign an NDA just to hear about the interest.

You would be surprised at how many wealthy and influential people like to jabber about stuff they aren't meant to be sharing. Especially people who are involved in, and don't care about, football. e.g. stuff like "getting messed about with one house coming back on portfolio. Some australian football guy who won a cup but might be sacked anyway. Can you imagine that happening in any other job."

Not trying to endorse that guy - just saying from my own experience it is a thing. I'd be far more skeptical and assume a high school virgin if they were passing it off as if they were hearing it first hand. Like the spurs community ones who sound like septic peg
 
I know these things are largely pointless as it tends to be groupthink, but the MOTD pre-season pundit rankings had us 5th on average, with quite a few people putting us 4th.

Premier League predictions: How accurate were BBC Sport pundits?

Last summer, 30 BBC pundits were asked to pick which teams would finish in the Premier League's top four, and in which order. How did they get on?

Also worth noting that we were favourites for the EL at the start of the competition and remained favourites for a few months at the start of the season.

We started Forster in goal that day with Gray and Dragusin at centre back. Werner started on the left.

I don't blame ange for that December period at all. We were in the absolute trenches and I don't think any manager would have survived that run. In hindsight, the 1-1 draw away to Rangers wasn't a bad result with that team.

Spurs were without a major trophy for nearly 20 years and had become a running joke. Our talisman Son has gone his entire career without a trophy.

We had to sacrifice the league campaign in order to focus on the brining a trophy to Spurs - with 100% certainty.

NET RESULT

1 Major Trophy.
A UNITED Squad, who have now tasted success. These players will give 100% to do it again.
2 fingers stuck right up Woolwich's Arse.
Our best players want to stay (Romero/Porro).

Ask yourself this. Had we finished 4th or 5th - would any of the above statements be true?

funny Newcastle and Palace both won cups and didn't sacrifice the league for it.... Explain why Ange had too?

Yeah i thought we'd probably be around 6th. The top 6 are all pretty strong but there is no way we should be lower than 7th. People say we dont have the squad but its better than Forest, Bournemouth, Brentford and Fulham. Insane levels of under performance.

Definitely, the coaching staff are inadequate.They were not a ‘team’ but a badly assembled group of journeymen.

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.

But what happens next season?

Do you think the Champions League is winnable based on this season’s performance?

The league form should be the overriding factor because it’s based on a much bigger sample of evidence and against higher quality teams.

The FA cup is not the same mate - come on - this isn't me saying we should keep ANge but FA cup games are played on the weekend and are nothing like 6 months playing in Europe with back to back midweek games.

The notion that the two schedules are comparable in any way, shape, or form is unserious.

Same with Newcastle - considering we played 1 game less than them in that competition on top of the Europa League schedule.

Just a nonsense post

You’re basing that on an opinion piece written by a journalist for clicks!

I very much doubt ANYONE outside of a few board members really knows what’s going on.

Alli G doesn’t post stuff like that unless it’s double sourced, and one of those sources will be from within the club.

It doesn’t really matter if it’s true or not anyway. His lack of leadership is evident from his final programme address, through to letting everyone go off on holiday with no clarity. He’ll always fritter away momentum, because that’s what he always has done in the past.

The sources within the club will be opinions likely based on a feeling, nothing more.

This isn’t going to be something that’s an open secret communicated willy nilly.

‘football.london understands that there remains a chance the 59-year-old could stay in place‘ - ie they don’t really know with any certainty! Like I said hedging your bets!
