Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
In this modern strong period since 20/21 Bodo/Glimt have played 38 home games in Europe.
They've won 30 of them, including beating the likes of Roma, Lazio, Besiktas, Porto, Olympiacos, Twente, AZ, Dinamo Zagreb, and yes, Ange Postecoglu's Celtic. And scoring an absolute shedload of goals doing it, they've run riot pinging it about on that plastic pitch.
In those 38 games, including matches with Woolwich and Ajax, Spurs were the first team to beat them in Bodo by more than one goal.
We completely erased them in that game, which was a bigger feat than it got credit for.

Tragic stuff this. And disrespectful to a very good manager.
With the timing of this sacking, right after reaching by far the biggest height of his career, his ascendancy to a mythical status among some people here will be complete. Even more so if his replacement doesn't hit the ground running, whether Frank or anybody else.
He is leaving a club that he has always held in contempt not only with a hefty payout in his pocket, but also with his reputation improved. He's hardly a suffering victim here, so I don't feel the need to mourn him.
It'll be interesting to see where he ends up.

Elements of this fanbase are just dickheads tbh
Oh well if a random twitter loser doesn't want him then that's it then.
We have qualified for europe both seasons ange has been in charge.
I think there is now way too much noise about Frank, or more specifically that Postecoglou will be relieved of his duties, to dismiss it as rumour.
What I struggle with is that a fair number of posters are talking Postecoglou and seemingly ignoring what's best for the club. It was the same with Kane. It's just bizarre to me.
It's about where we want this great club to be, and that's all that should matter.
Is Frank good enough? Well, Postecoglou's argument is that it's taken him a long time to get the chance. Frank has been in the PL,knows the gig, handles himself calmly and seems to generate something worthy of a team on the pitch. What's there not to admire and like?
Let's see how this goes , but we need t strip the personality and noise about Postecoglou and remember it's THFC, first, middle and last.

thanks for the ground work, I couldn't be arsed.
I think that fully vindicates my argument
Nah. It's better than drugs.Fecking forum is worse than drugs!!
Nah. It's genuine, passionate fans venting their frustration at what they believe would be another uninspiring, underwhelming appointment.
I totally get it tbh.
Self preservation BS. We won 3 games on the bounce in Feb so didn’t look like he threw the league at that point. It’s just his way of ever changing narrative and filling a bunch of people along the way. They all lap it up. Never once do they q his comments from before and ask him you said this previously how comes you are now contradicting yourself. It’s like the ‘this is who we are mate’ then playing 10 men behind the ball and only having 25 % poccesion with just 115 passes of which only 61% were accurate. Absolute shocking!
How does some melt on twitter know it will be underwhelming? No one has a clue how he will do. He's a decent manager that consistantly has a club with the 18th/19th highest net spend in the prem punching above their weight. Maybe we could get Mourinho back? He's won it all.Serial winners is bullshit, especially at this club. Look at whats worked upto a point and follow that route. For what its worth he wouldnt be in my top 4 but he's clearly a decent coach.
Utter drivel.
Yeah congratulations, but you know what I meant. Frank hasn’t been tested at a further level, Ange has literally shown this season he can focus on one competition, and if he wants to go for a cup he has to abandon everything else. Frank hasn’t had the same opportunity as Ange has with the same level as resources but lots of people are saying he’s a mid table manager and that’s all he can ever be. I think this season has shown Anges true ceiling.
But then why some melts in here, not saying you, are so validated in their points that Frank is better than Ange when we did the double over them? Our squad were shit too, according to them. Did Frank forgot to adjust his tactics against Ange's who was supposed to have been found out since game 11 of 1st year?
I bet it won’t even end up being Frank anyway. It’s rarely the first one we are linked with that becomes the manager.
