You must have a lot of friends.
I don’t know a single person in real life who thinks Ange is a top coach, or that he didn’t deserve to be sacked. As far as I’m concerned you lot only exist online.
I know a few who think fondly of him because of the trophy but that’s it. You guys are just straight up weird.
Can we stop acting like Ange squared the circle?
Nottingham Forest, who are likely to be relegated from the PL, just qualified for this year’s Europa quarterfinal.
The most recent Europa title holders are also under relegation threat, as even some Ange bitter enders may be aware.
Europa is not what it once was.
That, and we won the final in spite of both he and ourselves. It paints a silly picture of this sort of ‘champion of Europe’ talk surrounding the man who was sacked twice from PL clubs in six months with no wins between.
It’s time to let go
Preaching to the choir mate. You’ll be met shortly with “omg you hate spurs, you didn’t enjoy the trophy win” nonsense for daring to put something in to fair context. I think I’m very much done engaging with it directly as it’s just hugely disingenuous nonsense with people refusing to engage with any kind of facts.
The EL is massively short on quality currently, yes. All the facts point to this. But there’s no point trying to explain this to some people as they’ll just screech “European trophy” as if making it sound sexy changes this.
I said it before - Forest winning the EL and getting relegated is entirely possible. The quality is that poor. The best teams are probably Villa, Porto & Bologna. A who’s who of Europe’s elite that.
Now go and have a look who our previous coaches who were more established than Ange were knocked out by in the same competition, the mighty Gent and Dynamo Zagreb lol
EL wasn't what it was but it doesn't make a difference compared to what nonsense we used to serve up in the same competition anyway.
If better managers with better teams cannot get past the QF stage getting knocked out by equally poor clubs then what does that actually tell you?

They’d say ‘you didn’t enjoy the trophy’ but let’s be honest, it’s a trophy and that’s all you can say for it. The competition is lower than any of the domestic cups. Any of those would mean more. Palace won more than we did.
I don’t comprehend the focus on winning an honor even if it’s third rate, when the football team is shit. If we finished second in the league they’d claim winning Europa was more, though the second finisher in the PL is one of the better clubs in the world. And winning Europa is a pack-in prize compared to our aspirations of winning the league and the CL and all the rest. I want a fucking powerful club that can win the league, not one that’s touting getting off a toss every 20 years
No one will hear of it, the banter online from other fans broke people’s brains into thinking that cup would cause people who have hated us and bantered us for generations to suddenly respect us. Shockingly they did not.

We all do but we are very far from it. And it's not a manager's fault. Remind me who is (are) our team's star(s).
We tried to get some silver elseware but since the FA and League cup campains failed (the latter just) we got the best we could. That's all. That's all we can get with our current squad. Live with it.
You are free to do so. It's ok with me.
Arsene Wenger was ten times the manager Ange is of course, but Ange is much, much better suited to this sort of "what do we want football to look like in the future and how do we design the rules to get us there" than all of Wenger's confused bullshit in that direction in recent years.
Wouldn't mind sticking with Tudor, unless we could get him back just for 7 games. He's Big enough to take the pressure.
And try his new methods with us. Why not yeah. We are going down anyway.
Never read such crap...Even if we stay up, sacking Postecoglou will be remembered as one of the most catastrophic decisions ever made by Spurs - a club not without its fair share of catastrophic decisions over the journey.
I feel ashamed that I thought it was the right thing to do. Even though I knew - and had stated many times - he was overachieving with this squad, I still went along with the sheep who baaa'ed our way to relegation.
Shame on all of us. Hopefully we all learn from this humbling experience.
Thank you for this post...the ange fanbois are coming out the woodwork...
You're right...the truth is he was our 2nd worst manager as far back as I can remember...there, I'm released...Truth is hard to hear but will release you
he did a cracking job at Forest have to say.
