the problem with postecoglou is hes got these australians following him about desperate to be validated in football, dont get me wrong, theres a lot of idiot spurs fans. but his little cult following him about are distorting it a fair bit i think. they are all over the internet.

Most if the idiots supporting him are actually existing English Spurs fans now though. The state of some of them is shocking. You can see the utter nonsense in it when you see their faces on YouTube or by the way they writter dross on here. It's insanity.
to be fair i got most of the idiots on here blocked.
All you had to do was say that and we're cool.
I feel like the dirty little secret is that it's really been all the Americans supporting Ange from the beginning.
His whole devil-may-care schtick both on and off the pitch is very much tuned to an American sensibility. Whereas there's a lot about the standard rhetoric of English football we find baffling.
Agreed.
I posted after the win that it was far too early to make a decision. You don't make rational decisions when emotions are at their highest.
The EL win is and was wonderful, but the league is your barometer, particularly for a club of our stature.
There have been instances when other clubs have had awful seasons, Chelsea for example, but theirs was down to player power. Downing tools because they didn't like or want the manager at the time. The filth had a nightmare start to the season 3 or 4 years ago, weren't they in the relegation spots midway through the season? Yet they rallied and bounced back up the table.
In our case, the players haven't downed tools, nor did they rally in the league. There's only one logical conclusion to arrive at there, and it's because of the way we've been coached to play. Yes injuries have exacerbated our problems, but to the point where we lose 22 games in a 38 game season?
Our Football has regressed no matter who we have starting, it's unrecognisable from what we played for nigh on 2/3 of last season. At times it's like watching a kids game on the park, where everyone is chasing the ball.
I wanted him to succeed with us as much, if not more, than the majority of posters on here, I championed him from the start.
But it simply hasn't worked, barring the odd game where we've blown teams away with a flurry of goals in short spells. There's no control, no cohesion, no discernible plan.
I really like the bloke, and I'll forever remember him fondly for THAT Wednesday night, but he's simply not done what I thought and hoped he would do, so for me he just has to go.
I couldn't give a flying fuck how that is perceived by other fans or the media, IMO that is what's best for the club, and the club ALWAYS comes first.
Will be announced on Tuesday that Ange has signed a new and improved 2 year contract.
Sorry but that is such a bullshit narrative and one that I've heard a few people spouting and drives me utterly crazy.
The Europa is a lot harder to win than an FA Cup. For starters if you are in the Europa you have to play a minimum eight extra games and all of the travel that entails, Thursday > Sundays which we know is an absolute killer. And probably contributed heavily to our injuries.
Then you play home and away another what 8-10 games home and away to actually win it?
You make it sound like away to Frankfurt in a hostile atmosphere is a piece of piss...
The FA cup, you come in at the 3rd round. Play what? 5 games, no replays, straight to penalties and its totally random. You might win it without having to play any of the teams you mentioned. Most times you might play one of the clubs you mentioned.
I love the FA cup but it is nowhere near as prestigious or difficult to win as a Europa. People say this because we played Bodo Glint in the semi's but I like to remind them that Bodo side knocked out Lazio, hardly a small club.
He's kept in the job exactly because of the cup run. How many times have we heard he could be sacked if we couldn't gone past Frankfurt? Nobody can ever give him sticks for throwing the league away because whole world knew his last only merit then was to get past Frankfurt, then Bodo, and by then would be to finally win it. He accomplished them all. What fuck more does he need to do? The agenda is sickeningly strong in some tweets and in here to rewrite history.
I take it you've never seen the dribbling idiot on the left trying his hardest to rationalise why Ange is the best manager every that nobody can replace?
English, long standing Spurs fan. Even the less dim brother has pivoted 180 degrees back into keeping Ange.
Today they actually dismissed Frank becsuse he hasn't got any experience managing in Europe.
Technically neither had Ange. Getting spanked out of Europe with Celtic doesn't count.
Accept the L? What are you 15?
Grow up ffs...
You obviously don't know me, feel free to read back through my posts and realise what utter shite you are spouting...
You probably weren't even born when Gazza scored and the famous "this is schoolboys ownstuff from Barry Davis, or when Mabbut lifted the FA cup and you are coming at me with this tripe.
Seriously
Lol, another caveat because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Southgate at 33-1 is far too close for my liking.Ange Postecoglou 2nd favourite to be our next manager
How dafuq does that work then?
It's the kind of absolute dumbfuckery that we'd actually do.
If he takes over, I'm not going to be happy.
Because Its childish and slightly pathetic. Should we have done that with Jol, Redknapp or Poch?
