100% agree with you , my worry is even if Ange isn’t the one , if we appoint Frank we are going back to just wanting Top 4 on minimum spend , like you say we are a rich club ,
We shouldn’t be going for top 4 , we should be going to win the league.
Nah. That's nonsense.
We're a big enough club to win regular trophies without sacking off the league to do it. No way was that the majority sentiment. May have been an odd loser here or there but that's about it, matey.
They were until 75% of our team was out injured.
By that point, any style you play will look shit.
The intent is what I’m talking about
And the issue is he's not capable of managing the squad to keep the players fit
What can I say, I surround myself with sensible, intelligent people!

Get him a deeper squad and better medical team then.
He did. Didn't make it past the last 16. Which is strange, given that it's such an easy competition to win. Apparently.
Yes, Mauricio Pochettino did manage Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League. During his tenure as Spurs manager from 2014 to 2019, the club participated in the Europa League in the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons.
- In 2014–15, Spurs reached the Round of 32, where they were eliminated by Fiorentina.
- In 2015–16, they progressed to the Round of 16, but were knocked out by Borussia Dortmund.
- In 2016–17, Spurs reached the Round of 32, where they were eliminated by Gent.

Nah actually it’s not. I can’t be fucked trawling back through pages to quote countless people saying sick of finishing top 4-5 but winning nought.
And big club? Who’ve won zilch in 17 years domestically and nothing European for 40 years. We could be the biggest club in the world, but we still want to win shit.
Granted, Ange needs to be more adaptable, but my entire post was that I believe he’s earned the right to start the season, learn from his mistakes, and see where it gets us. Starting all over again is not the answer RIGHT NOW.
Post moved to Clutter.Well, to be fair, Bergvall, Moore, Kinsky, Tel, Gray are just kids with limited experience. Danso and Tel had only just joined; I think this was their 2nd game; and Moore I don't think had started a game. We had 4 experienced players on the pitch - Son, Kulu, Bentancur and Porro; all of whom had played just 3 days earlier against Liverpool (and Brentford, 3 days before that...and Elfsberg 3 days before that....oh and etc etc.).
Our bench had Biss, Sarr, Cassanova, Austin, Forster, Ajai, Hardy, Davies and Reguillon. Hardly game changers!
This match was on 9th Feb. The last time the squad had more than 4 days between games was 1st December. 20 games in the space of 70 days.
We were missing Solanke, Odobert, Madisson, VDV, Vicario, Udogie, Romero, Johnson during this period.
Your right, I forgot that Poch was also knocked out of the Europa League by GENT in round of 32 in 2016/17
Serious clubs sack him. Liverpool sacked dalglish after he won the fa cup, Chelsea sacked ancelotti a year after winning the double despite a perfectly reasonable second season. It’s what happens. Trouble is, we have levy who will follow it up with a wrong appointment. But we shouldn’t be scared to try.
Because when most said they wanted a trophy and fuck the league they probably didn’t mean to the extent we finished 17th!
Exactly this! The facts are if Ipswich had not dropped so many points from winning positions we would be looking forward to away games at Preston and Wrexham next seasonBecause when most said they wanted a trophy and fuck the league they probably didn’t mean to the extent we finished 17th!
Whichever way you slice it Levy acting with zero class as usual . Either sack him or make a statement saying he is staying . In my opinion the only reason Levy is stringing Ange along is he is sniffing around other managers to see if anyone does not tell him to fuck right off.
We are not at Jol levels of scumminess YET , but we appear to be working on it .
I am Ange out and if we cannot feel confident in sacking him knowing we can attract better it shows how far we have fallen as an attractive opportunity for a manager . Show some class Spurs sack him or say he is staying instead of sneaking around behind his back .
All the above admittedly is just opinion but with the season over I can see no reason to not either fire or confirm him . Pretty disgusting in my view .

No we wouldn’t. That’s stupidity.
They beat 4 Prem teams, doubt they would have blitzed it but they would have won it this season.
Actual grown men believe this, it’s mental
