I think the best outcome for him, if he were to win it, would be for us to pay him a little extra to say he's resigned.

That way we get rid and move on, and he gets to do whatever little victory dance he wants as he waltzes off into the sunset.

He absolutely cannot be our manager past the last game of the season. The sooner he's replaced the sooner the players can decide their future and we can plan our summer window activity
If he doesn't leave, next season is a write off.

The only thing he's managed to do well is convince players to sign
 
I cannot predict it nor would I.

All I know is IF he is still here I have no hope in hell we win anything & I've already given up my ST. I'm not going stupid and binning my support for the team but I'll just be a casual fan, I'll watch games but I wont be as emotionally involved as I was last seasons or even this season.
 
Pretty sure that Ange will be gone even if we win EL. It would be pure Spurs to sack the manager that broke a trophy drought and qualified for CL.

Unfortunately without significant investment into our current squad I fear our next manager will only be another short term fix. Still too many players in the squad that are inconsistent and unreliable.
 
I think if he wins he walks out the next day with his fingers up at the fans and owners! Clear as day he wants out and he himself would love nothing more then shutting the fans up.

I’ve gone from really liking him to actually despising him at this stage! The stench of deflection and self preservation the last couple of months has been awful
 
Ange 100% will not be here next season. Even if he started himself in the final and scored the winning goal he would still be gone.

If Spurs in what would be a miracle tale win it, ole Ange is clued up enough to know his time in the sun is done. His bags will be packed and off to another with I always win something in the second year, and to start the "project" all over again.

Fucking great work if one can get.

Spurs will be become "winning club" who lacked imagination and daring whilst they had a football genius in charge.

Think what you want about Ange the coach. Ange the man is no dope and he knows how to set a narrative and profit handsomely from it.
 
IF he goes on to win the Europa League; he has done exactly what many fans have been dreaming of. Winning a trophy and not acting like top 4 is the prize.

Our league form has been abysmal, but it would be good to remember that up until Game Week 13, we were just 3 points behind 2nd place; and had just thrashed CITY 4 nil at the Emerites.

Then the injuries hit.

What followed next was a woeful 1 win, 2 draws from 11 games. With the signings of Tel, Kinsky and Danso coming too late to rescue our premier league form.

It's pretty clear that with the limited squad availability we made a choice - focus on the cups. Bin off the league. Like it or not, that was the correct decision and, the ONLY available route back into Europe next season.

If we win it, it demonstrates that he made the correct decision and did what is best for the club and the fans. Trophy, and Champions League next season.

If we don't, his position becomes untenable since the relationship with the fans has become toxic.
 
1. What’s the EC?
2. Remember the last time a Spurs manager won a trophy - what happened the following season? (Clue: 2 points from 8 games).
 
Obviously no. He might have if we'd have climbed to 10th or 11th and the incidents with the fans hadnt happened but bridges have been burnt completely the last few weeks. Anyone that thinks he'd stay finishing 16th/17th and 20+ league defeats needs to give their head a wobble.
 
I mean lets face it... The mood will dramatically swing if we win the Europa league (won't happen but IF). It would be pure euphoria! Its impossible to say now exactly how you'd feel towards Ange if such a thing was to happen.

Being cold and calculated, the right thing to do is sack Ange. We've seen how bad its got this season and thats enough evidence for him to be gone and for us to try something new. BUT emotions will run high after such a big win and there could easily become a narrative to give him one more season.

Similar to when Moyes won West Ham the Conference cup, or when Ten Hag won the FA cup last year. It papered over all the cracks and fans were quick to change their minds. Both sets of fans knew they were going nowhere under Moyes and Ten Hag but the emotional joy of winning a cup on the last day of the season clouded any calculated judgement. Modern day football is the most reactionary world - you are often only as good as your last result! So if our last game of the season was winning a Europa League cup under Ange, then you could easily end up with a false narrative all Summer that "Hey Ange isn't actually that bad".

So I can sort of weirdly understand the narrative around some fans not wanting us to win the Europa League this year. There is a big chance it would only paper over the glaring cracks and we'll regress even further next year. We need a fresh start regardless of how we do in Europe.
 
If he wins the Europa League he will be the most successful manager in our modern history.

In that scenario, he must be given at least another season, possibly two.

Otherwise, we will damage our reputation as a reasonable, good faith operatør meaning we will fail to attract any meaningful talent for a generation.

The culture in our fanbase is the root cause of our failures since 1991. We're unable to see the big picture, unable to reflect on our own toxicity, and incapable of genuinely supporting our team. Our ex-players often testify to this.

I remember being a Dortmund in 2019. We were at the beginning of this decline, although we didn't quite know it at the time. We won via a Kane finish. Our travelling support embarrassed themselves with their negativity amid the carnival atmosphere of the Dortmund stadium. They were on the losing side, but their support was resolute.
