Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

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.

And if it is Frank that gets the job I honestly don't think that he will have a super hard time getting the majority of the players on side. One of Ange's big strengths has apparently been getting the players to like him, and that is also a strength of Frank's. He's beloved at Brentford.

He wouldn’t be my first choice but he’d certainly be an improvement so I would be cautiously optimistic about next season.

Especially compared to the prospect of keeping Ange and sacking him in October, which we all know is what would have happened.

And what he gets for that is a lot of gratitude and a place in our history (as well as all the money).

But the managers job is not a reward or a present that gets given out because someone deserves it. It should belong to the individual who the club believe is the best available person to develop the squad going forward. We know thats not Ange Postecoglou in the clubs eyes, because if that 90 minutes of football fell the other way, he'd have been sacked before the plane landed back home.
 
"Right Thomas welcome to the club, your first job is to stop that PSG super team with Doue and Krava, don't worry Bren scored 21 goals last season and we now have European experience so should be easy, off you pop"

Very true; but it takes time for even the most charismatic of managers to build up that level of love . AP , despite his many other apparent failings seems to have that “ in the bank “ . If only he could get someone alongside him to help him with the more “ technical “ stuff required to win games in the EPL and CL . There must be someone out there who could contribute that requirement.

It actually is as simple as that. He delivered a result. A result that most of us were extremely happy to take at the seasons start. It’s a no brainer.

Er no it isn't a no brainer. If it was there wouldn't be so much division amongst the fans ffs lol.

It's a difficult decision but we should we let him go, the league form is far too concerning.

Winning the league is the goal. A team in 5th with a legitimate manager that is playing CL football could attract players with similarly lofty aspirations, and could grow one more step into those aspirations. A team in 17th is in more danger of going down than daring and doing anything great.

One of the top ten most valuable clubs in the world should be aiming at the biggest honors which those other nine are winning, not what the Spam are aiming at, just staying up and maybe grabbing something silver once in a blue moon. Our aspirations are not to win second tier honors just to stop banter from rival fans. A season that gets us closer to the former, of being the best, is a better one.

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.

Your heart wants to be back in the top 4

No mention from your heart about actually subbing things?

Yeah, the players will virtue signal for a bit, but when it comes down to it, they’ll knuckle down.

I think Romero was going one way or another any way. The Little Argentina of Atleti is just too enticing for him.

Or the results will be poor and we will get Sami Mokbel reports they don’t like his tactics before Christmas. Especially if Atleti don’t pay what Romero is worth and we keep him without signing a new contract.

The rumours were true for once. But I dont see the point in having a superstar manager if you dont want to buy superstar players.

Youd be better off with Frank given the ambition of the club in terms of transfers.
