Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Also worth adding that Ally Gold said there was no meeting on Sunday between Levy and Ange. So if the above is accurate. And to me it does make logical sense. I think Ange is gone.

I reckon Levy is waiting for the Cup win glow to dimmer a bit before we say goodbye to Ange. He was never sacking him immediately after the season ended. Not when we won a trophy last week.

Plus he isn’t going to sack Ange when he’s in holiday. I think Ange will go once Vinai and Paratici are on board. They start 1st July apparently. Then Levy can avoid the fans blowback by making out the decision to get rid of Ange is Vinai’s and Fabs.

The more I think about it the more I’ll be amazed if Ange is kept on. The league form has been horrendous. He should have been sacked several times over.

From Gold's lips to God's ears, but I can't understand waiting until July 1 to sack him if you need to find a replacement. 6 weeks of uncertainty? When you need to do a decent amount of summer business, no one to help direct it?
 
1st July is impossible. It would be worse than with Nuno saga. It has to be early June. Also sacking Ange in July could lead to same trial that Conte had when Chelsea sacked him so late, that he was not able to find new position before next season started.
 
Heard maddison backing Ange. All due respect maddison got relegated with leicester. Im just not confident with Ange in charge next season. Tbh if were letting Mason go and new CEO arriving with paratici. I think there will be a change for next season.
 
It's all a catch 22 situation at Spurs.
It's rare we get a Jol, Redknapp or Poch, who can get a squad playing well above their perceived ability. More often than not, the coaches we get either get what the squad is capable of or worse.
And that's not too abnormal really. We just don't have the zest to fuck them off and try another one until we get it right like some others do.
I still have a great difficulty, seeing people talk about Poch as getting a squad playinf above their ability. Look I liked the guy but it’s criminal he never won a cup. He had probably the best first team we have had in decades and always choked.

Then change it now! The longer we hear nothing the worse this will get. Yes the players are off, but this needs sorted before we get into July, close to a month away.

People online seem to be rubbing themselves over the players lauding Ange and backing him.

Thing is, they've just won the Europa, which means for a lot of those in our squad, it's the only decent club trophy they might ever win, so they're all now content. But they're not fans and will only be looking a season ahead at a time

Doesn't mean, as fans, we should accept that level of mediocrity. I don't see how they can be playing so badly and be genuinely content with that.
 
People think Levy is a control freak but by evidence he's been trying to hand off the footballing side the whole time
All he wanted from a DoF in that period was to magically identify the cheap, under-scouted talent that fit his parameters and leave the negotiating to him.

And then he'd fuck up the negotiation, which spoiled the work of the DoF, which then spoiled the work of the manager, and on and on. That cycle went on for 15 years.

It's only now that the process of scouting and price-setting has become so sophisticated, plus his constant humiliating failure in the transfer market, that Levy has (mostly) let professionals do the work.

It was unconscionable the way we were operating 5-6 years ago, the most clownish stone-age operation in the league (worse even than Glazer-Woodward, which is nearly impossible). The improvement has been pretty rapid since then, credit where it's due. We're still probably not in the top half of the PL table in terms of being efficiently run though.

Couple of years time some of the players will move on or retire. We as supporters are with the club for a lifetime. Ange has to be moved on imo.
 
I'm for sticking with Ange, mostly as there isn't anyone I really want that's available. Most of the managers mentioned are mediocre from my point of view and potentially just as risky. Get a few new players in of a proper PL standard and see how he goes.
He's been here two seasons and still the players doesn't seem to know what they are supposed to do on the pitch. That's not a sign of a good manager
 
That’s me logged off until next pre-season.

I’ve got good news for all you trolls and ungrateful sods.

Ange will be the manager come round 1 of the premier league next season.

And he’ll have 2 trophies for the club by then.

Can you pinch yourself and believe that the same people who - for years - have been accusing the club of not wanting to win the league, lacking ambition, being content with being mid-table etc are the same ones who are now happy with a 38 point season finishing one place above relegation .

Achievements (and the level of achievement) gets the most air time, recognition and respect from the majority of people in practically every culture known to man- the road that got them there is often forgotten about or cast aside.

I read somewhere Ange has gone on holiday. Well deserved etc and not right time to sack someone just after winning europa league and just before holiday break. Imo i think he will be gone when he returns from holiday and the dust settles. Looked at EPL table on SSN earlier. Our league position is a disgrace.
