Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You don't think we spunked out much more over the years?

Strange argument. In fact it's nit really an argument.

Just a few typed words.
Oh yeah definitely N’Dombele & Lo Celso for a start + manager payoffs but me thinks we’re getting side tracked here there’s one constant in this situation he’s been in the thick of it we all no who it is! I’m no against Frank, Ange didn’t do himself any favours on numerous occasions against the press, fans ….if he rocks up (Frank) then I’ll support him and hope he does well i just think Postecoglou has bought himself time with the cup win that’s all.
 
400 million to go from relegation candidates to CL regulars and multiple cup finals including winning one of them against the actual champions?

Not a bad fucking return. How much have we spent on Ange so far?

€447,450,000 on 16 players according to Transfermarkt. Including the obligations for Porro and Kulusevski, but not Danso's it seems, so really depends on how you cut the cake.

But, in short, 400 million to go from CL regulars to relegation candidates. One Europa though, which to some of the fan base seems to forgive the first bit
 
He's clearly a very effective manager and would be an upgrade over Ange in most senses.

My one reservation is that Brentford have extraordinarily good scouting and analysis functions to support Frank, and I doubt Spurs will ever have the discipline to provide it.

They too wanted Brennan Johnson and Archie Gray let’s not forget!

Joking aside, Frank is used to working under a similar recruitment structure to ours.

Well put.

If you prioritize the one competition where glory is possible at the expense of a few quid from league positions, you get sacked by these clowns.

The game might be about glory for fans but not for Levy.



Is there some sort of rule that we’re the only team that has to bin off our league form to the point of near relegation to win a trophy?

I dunno how other teams manage.

Meh didn’t finish 8th/10th etc

Everyone just assumes Any Not Ange is a guarantee to be back among the European places in the league because through all the chaos of the past 20 years it always kinda worked out to around that level.

There could be a rude awakening coming if we fuck this up.

Exactly. And im not advocating for keeping Ange I just dont want someone with less pedigree than him.
 
It seems for some that winning The Europa League erases this seasons 30+ turgid performances, along with the shit-show we witnessed for the best part of the 23/24 season, all showing little tactical nous and individual player progress resulting in 22 loses this season in The EPL which is any clubs bread and butter. Added to this, this incompetent English Premier League manager has consistently been hypocritical along with blatantly lying in pre and post press meetings. He has also shown his obvious disdain and disrespect of our loyal fan base.
Honestly, would anyone on here want to have to experience another EPL season like the one we have just completed, but win The FA Cup?
If your out there and would happily live through another EPL 24/25 season but add The FA Cup to our trophy cabinet then as a Spurs supporter of over 55 years, this is something I could never comprehend as an advocate of the beautiful game, something endorsed by the great Bill Nicholson.
As every Saturday, Wednesday approaches I want to feel an air of excitement as I'm about to watch my beloved Spurs, not be cringing and embarrassed at the thought watching a poorly coached side who are constantly left exposed as such!

Thanks for your efforts in a dumbed down EL comp Ange, where again for most part our football lacked any imagination and swagger, bank your financial rewards and please never darken our doors again. PLEASE!

A great night it was, but also one that saw one shot on target (a scruffy goal) and needed goal-line clearances and world class saves to save the day.

In many ways it was no better than our league performances, but with vastly more effort on the part of some to get back and defend.

As I said on the night, thanks for the cup but time to move on.

Fair enough mate. We just disagree.

The Europa win was magnificent. A super achievement.

For me, and I think many others, the bread and butter of the league has shown a coach who won't deliver.

Last season actually showed more concern than this, where we finished outside of the CL positions, with no distraction. This season,league-wise just went from bad to worse. That's not sustainable, and a bad start next season could have serious ramifications.

its debatable if we even had a shot on target....
