Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Our last two summer managerial searches have both been interminable shambles in which multiple mooted deals fell apart and we ended up with someone not even on the radar screen when the process began.

And continuing with that theme, it is once again totally unclear what the backroom setup is above the manager and who would even be making the decision.

Buckle up.

Sure but we’re taking Brentford manager Frank not Inzaghi or Xavi
 
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.

No one assumes that. The league has changed massively in the last 10 years and Levy’s attitude to salaries will impede this club more than any manager ever could. It will be tough to reach the top 4 with our wage budget even if we had prime Klopp in charge.

But if are going to get blood from a stone then we need a manager who won’t lose to Leicester at home or set us up away to Everton with the most disrespectful, brain-dead back 3 system I’ve ever seen at the top level. We need a manager who knows their onions and can fashion a team that’s more than the sum of its parts.

Ange just isn’t that guy. The team is now relegation fodder and we play some of the worst football in our modern history despite hundreds of millions being spent on players.
 
“Everyone on here who disagrees with me is a gooner troll!”

99% of the forum wanted him gone pre final. It’s just that most people are intelligent enough to not have changed their mind based on one game against Manchester United.

You always wanted him here & have used that to justify it now so it’s not surprising. We should go ahead and replace him with Di Matteo, blokes won Europe’s BEST trophy so must be a better coach, right?!

Totally how football works.

Don't worry- Richard and Dudu are so easily annoyed they put you on ignore anyways 😂

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.


I think that's weak argument really.

It wasn't a few quid from league positions - we've broken records for ineptitude in the league and have average a point per game over the whole season.

If Levy was only concerned about money this argument wouldn't make sense. Finishing 7th and not winning the Europa would have kept him employed whilst being far, far, FAR less profitable for the club.

In this sense he was effectively sacked in January but we've let him see out the Europa - a criticism that was levied (pun intended) against the Mourinho sacking.
 
Only at Spurs do we win our first major piece of silverware since 1984. Sack the manager and go afterThe Brentford manager who *checks notes* finished 10th...

And then we all debate for thousands of hours of type on here why this club is such a basket case...

Maybe you all think signing Frank means Mbeumo comes with... I've got no other explanation..

This is Brentford who had no European football and barely any injuries to contend with.

Madness if true

It’s basically his own fault if he gets sacked. If he had scraped into 10th or 11th he’d probably be alright. That was more than achievable. Instead like a moron he just decides fuck it we can just give up every league game. Resting everyone and sending the signal the league games didn’t matter at all.

He sacked himself basically.
 
So on that basis you’d say pre-Spurs Poch was a worse manager than Ange?!

The trophy win was absolutely amazing, but don’t kid yourself that numerous previous managers such as Poch, Jose, Conte, even sodding Sherwood put in the same position couldn’t have delivered that trophy with the run we had in the Europa.
Jose had the chance he was shit
 
A) And Howe did similarly well at Bournemouth yet has been a big success at Newcastle. Frank has a lot more about him than Potter does btw.

B) Tuchel was/is a very good coach, but he won the actual European cup. His issue was falling out with their board.

Last season there were serious rumblings about Howe’s situation even Jose was being mentioned as a replacement- Newcastle stuck with him for previously qualifying for the CL, he’s now won a Carabou Cup.

Tuchel’s falling out is because he was 10th and Chelsea had a poor transfer window after he won them the CL with Mount, Timo Werner and Havertz.
Potter was that bright thing flying with mid table Brighton. Expectations ain’t the same.

Nuno did exceptional at Wolves and now Forest.

And yes Pochetinno did well at Southampton and excelled with us. But as with Potter and Frank won nothing.

Burden of expectation at Spurs is huge (despite what Harry Kane says about if we lose it’s no big deal it’s a massive deal)

He also pulled shit like cupping his ear towards our fans, squaring up to fans, and generally just being an idiot because he couldn't handle the premier league week to week.

Guy can't get a handle on his own ego. After the season we've had he's talking about season three being even better than two. Mate, you were always going to be lucky to stay in the job after this shit. Acting like he'd just won the champions league FFS.

People are so convinced about how amazing his achievement is, let's see what clubs line up to offer him a job after his time here, let's see how many genuinely think he's a "winner" based on that and the calibre of sides willing to give him an interview.

I dread to think how fucking entitled he will be next season if we roll with him to start with. Just an absolute insufferable cunt in every single interview until he's gone probably.
He will never find work in a top European league again, no club with decent resources is ever going to take such a suicidal risk on a marginal chance of a positive cup outcome and no team with limited resources is going to look at his suicidal football and think "this screams stability to me".
 
Deep down even his biggest apparent supporters know that him leaving now is the perfect ending all round, they won’t admit it and have to act otherwise but we all know it’s true, he somewhat salvaged his reputation and will now to many look like a victim, now is definitely the moment.
