Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Why would Frank join us? He’s got a good thing going at Brentford and makes only slightly less money than Ange.

So unless Levy doubles Frank’s wage - why would Frank join a club he finished 8 places above with much higher expectations that has a history of sacking managers?
Bar the 3 relegated teams this season why would any manager of any team want to join us? But guy on talksport Simon Jordon who’s decent insists we’re a very attractive proposition for any coach ? Conte & Mourinho weren’t that impressed but hey ho
 
We gonna play in the CL. That will be a huge draw for many managers now.
I do think that he's taken Brentford as far as they are willing to go. He more or less said it when asked about Mbuemo staying after the final game. "We are a selling club. If someone pays enough they will get him". Or something like that.

At some point he needs to try to take that next career step.
 
I guarantee the Ange-inners would be saying "Eddie Howe? No European experience, not a winner" if we'd hired him a few years back. Yet here he is, brought Newcastle a trophy, has them in the CL regularly, and they actually looked coached. They absolutely leathered Liverpool in that final.

Find someone at a lower level who the board genuinely believe could step up, and of course they can be a winner too with the right circumstances.

Come on man

Manager of Spurs Vs staying manager of Brentford.


You'd choose Spurs even if we were currently in the championship.

It's a much higher profile job for starts and the lure of managing a massive well known club with potential to be great is hard to turn down.


Brentford are awesome, but they'll be happy with staying in the Premier league for the next ten years at present unless they get major backing.
 
But what will be worse if he is kept on until November and we are then languishing bottom half and then everyone is giving him shit. If he goes now with some decency it will be better than later in the year. However, I'm still not certain sacking him for some managers mentioned will be enough PR wise for most fans. Eg. Frank who I like as a manager doesnt exactly get the pulses racing. I think Inzaghi or Poch is who it has to be and if they cant get them they will keep him until the November scenario unfolds.
And then what. Poch on the verge of the World Cup and Inzaghi might have another job.
 
Tbh Ange and the board have made mediocre managers look good. We had poch where we dismantled teams. Dubious as well whether Howe is as good as everyone makes out. Poch different class imo and not even in same conversation. Ok he won league cup but has bottomless pit.

I've always liked Howe and thought he was the real deal. Wanted him a while back for Spurs, and thought he'd be good for England too. He is Newcastle's Poch in a way. Firmly believes in the carrot as opposed to the stick.

That said, I may be wrong, but I still don't think Howe finishes top 5 or wins a cup in a season with European football. Poch was different class but again came up short tactically in some big finals and semis.
 
After producing our worst league finish in 48 years and our worst points total in 90 years they have some brass neck making any demands. They have it easy, never criticised no consequences to losing, none of those drills that the nasty man Conte made them do or the torture training from Poch. If they love him so much they should have shown it in the league in the last 18 months.
If these players kick off and push to leave.. Next to none of them are going to Real/Bayern and the like. For nearly all of them, Spurs is as big as gets. They'll chill out because theyll know that.
 
My heart is speaking to me yet again...

"Oy,Tart,"
it says, "Levy has let things ride for a few days after winning the EL, to show a bit of respect to Ange. After all, he won the trophy. Let him have his bit of Glory for that achievement. But now, in the cold light of day, with an eye to the future, the Club needs to be back in the top four again. Unfortunately this means that we must part ways with Ange and thank him for getting the monkey off our backs."

Please God, heart, I hope you're right.

My rationale is simple.

This is the guy that got the monkey off our back and won us a trophy, he’s earned his shot. The pressure for him to play strong teams in the cups isn’t as high. He got 5th in his first season, with the squad behind him, there’s every chance he gets them back to that kind of form. Especially now the medical department and support staff around him is stabilized now.

The players love him and believe him when he says “do this and you’ll win” because he’s proved it to them. I don’t want to lose guys like Romero and watch this club go cheap and shitter with his replacement. We’ve always needed winners at this club. Let’s keep the one we have now.

He’s very fucking handy when it comes to selling the club for recruitment. It was his phone call that sold this club to Van de Ven…. Imagine we are going after an Eze or Xavi Simons. Several times Ange calls persuaded players to come here instead of Frank and Brentford. Bergvall would probably be a Brentford player if we had Frank and they had Ange.
Do this and you’ll win. Did he say that before league games , if so they didn’t take much notice.
 
Gut feeling hes gone. Would have been classless by club sacking him straight after europa league win then just before Ange goes on holiday. I reckon hes gone by next week. That everton away game earlier in season clinched it for me. That was worse than pub football. Hearing a lot of noise about Frank. He will make us hard to beat, dubious about his style though. Poch and tuchel will be waiting next year. Tbh i couldnt give a shit if romero leaves if Ange is sacked. Im a lifetime supporter. Players come and go.
How can we miss Romero when he’s never here. Average 20 games per season over 4 seasons, Workd cup next summer…that’s his priority.

Exactly.

Spurs should appoint a serious manager, and then when they come back from holidays and see hopefully an improved side and CL football waiting, they’ll get to training.

These players are professionals and can disagree but will carry on. This is fact of life in football. Anyone who puts down his tools is only hurting himself and his career.

If someone forces a move, fine. Change of management always results in some coming and going. At least in the case of Romero we’d be selling high. But I believe everyone will be making happy noises again by the time the season begins.
