Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

that game alone should get postecoglou sacked, no matter how much money you invest on players, he wouldnt get a team anywhere near that level, hes up against managers that are playing a different sport to him.
 
Come on...this is demonstrably false - unless you count things like the Audi cup, etc.

As much as I admit that I'm caught up in the romanticism of the occasion, I'm no more keen than anyone else to watch another PL season of the dross we've been served up under Ange.

Of course, 22 defeats cannot be ignored, but to say anyone on their day can win a major trophy is frankly absurd. At the risk of sounding like a broken record - he's the first bloke in 41 years to do this for this club!!!
Seriously is it? Ramos shite manager won a cup
 
This whole episode is very confusing. I don't believe the team and the manager weren't talking during the season about his future. At the end of the season Postecoglou joked about trying to crash the transfer discussion meeting. But he's supposed to be on good terms with at least Munn. Something seemed to happen in the month leading up to the cup final, because Postecoglou seemed genuinely annoyed and began talking about the possibility he wouldn't be back. Either Spurs management is unusually dysfunctional or he was told something and didn't like whatever it was. It could be as simple as he was told the decision would be made after the season and he wants to put pressure on Levy. In any case, it all seems like an odd way to do business.
 
Yes, a game he was not involved in, in which a sovereign wealth-backed superclub (whose entire project was built to win this tournament while deemphasizing their weak domestic league!) ran riot, should, ALONE, get Postecoglu sacked.

Top logic, that.
yes!!! youve got it! off the back of the last 20 months, its evident he wont get any 23 footballers ever to get anywhere near competing to that level!

A bizarre statement from Ange in press conference once saying he doesnt believe in assist stats. Staggering to hear tbh. Players like xavi, iniesta were assist kings. I just think Ange simplifies the game way too much. 22 league defeats justifies that. I give him his due his motivational speech when it counted for the final worked. But its not enough imo.

It's very Levy that all this Vinai and Paratici stuff is twisting about in an unclear fashion during an important decision-making period for the club.

But even that said, as much as one game didn't and shouldn't have changed the broader situation with Ange, that one game DID very dramatically change the broader situation with Spurs itself. That does bear some review.

It's the world's dumbest internet thing to say and think, but I can't help it: I want Ange to stay because his haters make just the absolute worst arguments I've ever seen. Ange Out is a campaign of complete idiocy, and the fact that they are probably correct in the end is an extremely annoying inconvenience.

yea its gone completely over your head.....

you want ange to stay because of people you dont know online??? are you some sort of cunt?
 
Gut feeling if paratici comes back he might have recommended inzaghi to levy. After tonight not so sure. De Zerbi for me as has premier league experience. Just worry about his ego. Iraola but not sure he will quit bournemouth. Were in champions league so have big bargaining chip. Next year poch and tuchel will be available so whoever is manager next season and they screw up have two world class managers available.

You want Ange to stay to spite the fans that want him gone, even though you yourself want him gone?
I know they say it takes a masochist to support Spurs but that's some new level of bizarre on me.

What makes you think Tuchel will be available next summer? Chances are if we do well he will extend til at least Euro 2028.
