Same Son, same...

Such a shame so many were unable to realise just how great of a leader Ange was. Even though it was right in front of their faces.

🐑ple is a very real thing...

The most identifying characteristic of an effective leader is a willingness to take responsibility.

We all saw his character as a leader before our eyes week in and week out. We saw it in every question from every journo where he never once took responsibility for anything. He only blamed the players, blamed 'individual errors' every time. Then after he's sacked he blames administration for not giving him players when he insisted at the time he was happy. Not an especially good liar, even.

We also saw his colors when he mugged off our own fans, we saw it when he was clueless as to our rivalries and acted as though the questions about it were silly; he didn't care because they didn't register with him. He was self interested. Not what a leader is.

Ange had many faults but inability to project leadership was absolutely not one of them, as has been echoed by literally everyone exposed to his time at the club. He may have been selling snake oil but Hotspur Way was buying it.

If there's one thing the Frank era should have made clear to people by way of contrast, we have almost uniformly had very strong and galvanizing personalities in the dugout during the Levy era, I think there's no doubt that's something he personally emphasized.

Taking responsibility is something that not a lot of people are capable of. They might apologize and this is done on an almost daily basis by people and corporations from all walks of like. The so called medical professionals in the clubs treatment center need to have a good look at themselves because if there is ever anyone in the club who needs to put their hands up for ballsing things up its them. Players getting their respective injuries treated away from the club should tell you that something is amiss.

Ange is someone who tells it as it is and this is what Aussies do, so if you get offended for being"mugged off" then look in the mirror more often, because who are you "mugging off" in your posts on a regular basis.

Being popular in the dressing room can come from any number of sources such as not pushing them hard enough in training and not holding them accountable, building a culture of comfort rather than standards. The only person I ever saw Ange actually get stuck into was our away supporters. He couldn’t inspire the squad to avoid a record of defeats. Does not sound like Montgomery in the dressing room to me
