I'm as bored by the constant references to Ange as anybody else, even though I've been guilty of mentioning him too since the weekend's shambolic performance.
It was right that he was sacked for the terrible league performance last season. But to call him the worst manager we have ever had is pure hyperbole.
If we were offered, today, an opportunity to hire a manager for two seasons, and two seasons only, and were told that we would be guaranteed a 5th place finish in the first season, and a shit show second season in the league but a major trophy won in that season, would we consider that a terrible offer? Would we say, "No way, that would be the worst option for manager we ever had"? Really? Would we? We might decide against it, but "worst manager ever"? Hyperbole.
We will never win anything with Frank. He has shown nothing to suggest he is anything other than a nice man, a stats nerd, a reasonable coach, an uninspiring leader, and someone entirely unsuited to manage this club.

I’d add that every time he has the ball beats a man and finds no one near him to pass to.Everything you've said.
Ultimately it is because he still has a street ball mentality where he craves the "ooh and aahs" from fans who in turn are impressed by bullshit - look how they clapped like seals when he did a step - over....
Joke club.
I think a strong coach can turn him into an effective player. I agree with your summary btw
What philosophy ? Throw ins and long punts up field to no one and just keep crossing the ball in the box expecting CR7 to be on the end of them!
A foul I think but it was lopped off. Made the ear cupping even more tragic.
Again what philosophy? Might be ok to lose some games if you showed what you are trying to do. We show nothing and must be one of the least attractive sides to watch. Philosophy should be evident by now unless what we are seeing is HIS philosophy. That would be worrying.
Absolute rubbish.
Ange did not have to go. In fact, he had every right to stay. Sacking him may just be the most Spursy thing this club has ever done.
I know you and a few of your incel mates on here will never accept that, but if you think you're the voice of the majority of Spurs fans, you're not. There are more and more fans who see this mistake for what it was.
This seasons squad is better than what it was last year. It has more depth and experience than Ange had at his disposal.
With the momentum of a cup win and an improved squad we would be seeing much better results, not to mention much more entertai in football this year, if we'd kept Ange.
If this were a rational club, it would give him his job back immediately.
By Sarr in the build up.
He never played prof football and I don’t even know if he played football to any decent level. But look at coaches like the Brighton lad he is in his early 30s. Frank is in his 50s wdf has he been doing all his career?

What? That's literally what every manager does?
Your footy knowledge is actually in the bin, when people were saying it I didn't take much notice but it's actually pitiful
Tottenham confirm Ange Postecoglou's coaching staff including former Celtic assistant
Tottenham have announced Ange Postecoglou’s coaching staff after he failed in a bid to take his former Celtic assistants with him.www.scotsman.com
Hahaha lolol
Ol' Shady makes an ass of himself again
I thought Paulinho was the number 6 we needed. Everyone said if Ange had him we would have been a completely diff team. His average at best makes a few tackles, mos times a lot and never really spots danger in and around our box. His play when he has the ball is non league at times. Has no pace to get back when get caught on transistion.
That's a fair point actually. As much as I think Frank is / was an abomination of an appointment, I think the likelihood is even he would have won the Europa League with us last season given the level of competition we were facing.
Then sack the ficjers who says we should buy them at great expense. Did we really need Wilson start of last season? Tel was he needed?
You don't half talk some shit, mate, but using the term 'Spursy' is perhaps the saddest indictment of your supposed support of this club (or seemingly the man).
..
He's gone. Move past it.
I think around 50% of our fanbase would actually be pleased if that happened. At least.We won't get either...we'll probably end up with Ange back.....
For the record, I'm not one of them.
Yeah....'Course mate .
The funny thing is that you want to use our worst manager in the Prem era as a reference point, yeah okay you go ahead with that argument lmao
Everyone knows you know fuck all about football man, just continue posting your gifs and play your position on here and let the adults talk amongst themselves.
Lange has been responsible for some crap purchases and waste of money. He compounds that with getting Frank his buddy. You couldn’t make it up.
Yeah but as someone as pointed out it never seems to damage a managers job prospects when they fail here because, well, they're expected to fail.
