Management Ange Apology Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Can I also create a harry7 apology thread?

I got some vile messages for daring to suggest Ange was 100% going to win the Europa League.

:ange-hands-head:
Sorry, no you can't.

...oh go on then. It'll be a laugh.
 
Was just about to post that nobody has anything to apologise for. Then you call the man a retard.

Cunt.

Nasty nasty element of this fanbase is the unwarranted personal abuse, even if you don't agree with the thread and think it will provoke arguments no one is forcing you to comment in here and then you leave a comment like that, nasty.
 
He's such a smart manager that he managed to finish 17th. I mean, he managed to stay up despite the great threat of Leicester, Ipswich and Soton. I'll say it, Ange is world class. That he finish behind Wolves, WH, and the likes, so what? They are extremely strong teams with superior squads haha. The mighty Bodo Glimt had no chance against Ange's superior football brain.
Only Liverpool had a better season than us.

Cry more, troll
 
I don't think anyone owes him an apology. Ange is a big boy. He's at a big club and he makes plenty being at that club. A certain standard is rightfully expected, and people are entitled to an opinion about what standards are lacking.

Obviously I don't think the personal abuse is relevant to his job, and it's uncalled for.

An acceptable metric next year foe me is up around 3 and 4 in the league and a very good CL showing. What's very good? That depends on who our opponents turn out to be at the given time.

I hope Ange has learnt much from this seasons misery. I hope he takes the lessons of the misery and the big positives EL victory into next season

IF he does this I think next go round may just be a happy and memorable one.
 
IMO, Levy is not going to sack him now. It’s a situation he won’t risk that we sack the man who gave us a big trophy to replace him with some mid range manager with either success at a smaller club or no PL experience. And we’re back to square one. The haters will absolutely be at his throat if we sack Ange and go back to being mediocre anyway. Will always be “what if we’d given him another season?”
His least risky option is to see how this pans out with Ange. If it’s looking shit, then he will reset with the excuse that having experienced this glory, we had to give the same man a chance but it didn’t work out.

As others have said, Ange has drawn his line in the sand that he wants season 3 so there’s no mutually agreed path forward. He either stays or gets the boot.

The question for me is whether Levy backs a fat man who is skating on thin ice? He didn’t do it when we were on the cusp 2016 onwards and pulled the trigger in 2019 when league results were looking iffy, so I don’t think he’s going to do it now. Which leaves us in the same position we always seem to be in.

The anger this time will be toxic though. He doesn’t have the stadium build to hide behind any longer.
 
Full credit to him in this competition. I didn't think he would do it. So yeah, I apologise for saying it was all too much for him.

Still prefer a new manager for next season but I'll be behind whoever it is. New season; fresh chance.
Gotta say Nuts, you have a good way of putting things. Lotsa punters on here just pinging between hate and love (slobbering and foaming mouth type stuff)
Fresh off a long awaited trophy, people calling for a chop - good grief!!
And nice post sir/madam Nuts

The league form since December 2023 is relegation.

Levy cannot ignore that; even if he wanted too.

Ask yourself these two questions for the reality of the situation once sentiment has been removed.

1. Can Ange improve on winning the Europa League next season?

2. What other Premier League clubs would offer Ange a job if Spurs decided to sack him this summer?

Levy sacked Martin Jol because he didn't want Berbatov sold and Harry Redknapp for finishing 4th when he needed to finish 3rd or higher.

The only way Ange stays is if Levy suspects that whatever else he really wants to do could backfire on him personally.
 
Foul voted. Said it before, however, I'll say it again... the use of this word should be an automatic sin binning IMO. Admin Admin
Bit sensitive, aren't we? The guy made 2 m bonus, despite losing 3m per place in the league. He's cost us about 30m compared to if we finished 7th. But you're so offended on Ange's behalf. Hilarious.
