These guys didn’t have to sit and watch 22 league games from the stands, it’s alright dipping in and out of watching us when you’re sat on your sofa. Fans pay an extortionate amount of money to watch Spurs home and away and 17th is just unacceptable.

If VDV doesn’t make that goal line clearance then everyone would be Ange out because United were peppering us for 45 minutes straight and I’m sure if they equalised they would’ve gone on to win it. Football is fine margins I know but everyone needs to look at the bigger picture. We were conceding the same goals over and over again and there is no way Ange would’ve been able be to juggle the UCL and prem next season. For me it’s the right decision and he can leave on a high after giving some of us fans our greatest Spurs supporting moment in our lives. Rather that than we sack him next season and it getting nasty. We’ve got a clean slate now where we can get a manager in with a full pre season and a few players that he wants and hopefully start with a bang. Thank you for everything Ange.

This is the absolute worst thing about Spurs Reddit (both r/Tottenham and r/COYS) you can tell 99% of them couldn't find WHL on a map

There was another quote re yours on-line was the fact we’d lost 22 games of the games we lost which included home games if true and he sacked of the league early door’s January (A) was this a decision agreed upon with the players? (B) Levy & board members ? In that case if they’d deliberately sacrificed the league why charge people full price for tickets + expenditure attending games? Okay it worked out in the end but as you say “fine margins” you could , if old enough remember the 81 cup final we got back into that game with an OG if that hadn’t happened we may never have won it that year! Back to earlier if the Levy + board knew what Ange was doing did they agree just to appease him because their quote Friday “challenge on all fronts”would suggest otherwise?

Total bollocks.

Why can't the club do both?

When was the last time United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Woolwich and the like won a Trophy and finished 17th?

Bullshit to suggest that the Club only want a top four finish, they gave Age 400 million quid in transfer money, and a huge contract to deliver both.

He failed miserably on one.

He's gone, get over yourself.

The club hasn’t been able to do both in decades. Poch, Harry chose the league. Ange chose silverware. Our squad hasn’t been capable of doing both under ENIC. A few injuries and our lack of quality is horribly exposed. It’s not Ange, Poch, Harry, Conte etc who are the problem. Each delivered their own minor miracle. If we want more, which we all do, then the club hasn’t been able to step up and invest more and invest more wisely. As for your last comment, grow up kiddo. Different opinions are OK and are what keeps this place interesting. Don’t need to melt like a grumpy teenager.
 
Is this thread still open? Why? Ange is gone. We have the Europa. Roll on 2025/2026. Let's stop shitting on each other and get behind the next manager to get us to kick on.

Oh, wait! I forgot where I am for a minute there.

Fuck Ange, he is a useless fraud.

Ange won the Europa for us, he deserves another season.

Ange is gone, Frank is coming in.

Fuck Frank, he's boring and has never won anything. This club is too big for him.

Frank is brilliant, he has done wonders at Little Brentford for years with no resources.

You are a fucking football illiterate and a cult member.

No, you're the fucking illiterate cult member.

Am I doing this right?

What pisses me off is that he is so quick to have a go at youngsters in our side who make a mistake!

Really...I want enic and Levy gone but, unlike you, u fucking fool I can see Ange, employed by Levy and Enic wasn't up to it. 18 months of shit relegation form football points to that. 17 defeats 38 points, the lowest in Tottenham's history. You're trolling and you know you are

And he knows that we know it and is chuckling at every response

One of the richest clubs in the world finishing 4th-8th every season whilst winning zero trophies is the literal definition of mediocrity. Postecoglou broke that cycle and the Levy cucks here are desperate for an immediate return to insignificance. Couldn’t make it up.

Amazing that it’s the ones who are also the most vocal about Levy and the players we already have being shit, that are now cheerleading for Levys dream of a data led return to mediocrity whilst spending even less on wages

The number of competitive games we lost under Ange is the very definition of mediocre.

I had genuine concerns that he'd have led us into a relegation fight next season and then medicore would only be something we can dream of.

I care for this club too much to see it losing more games than we win and somehow pretending thats glorious.
