haha you're an angry little man if someone dares question your opinion aren't you?
You're right he does still have to prove himself in this league as well just as he's had to do every time he's stepped up into another league, just like every other successful manager who's come in has had to do before him. While I agree the leagues he's operated in as a whole have been inferior, your apparent complete dismissal of every player, coach and manager in those leagues with your "in every way" comment is pretty short sighted, but not unexpected I guess. Thankfully that wasn't the approach of the people that hired managers like Wenger and Fergie from them!
Your goal scorer analogy is a weird one becuase it seems you're saying it's fine to criticise the goal scorer from a lower div as not being good enough for you because he's from that league but then if he happens to bang them in for fun then you weren't wrong either. Yeah, okay.
So, you're thinking somewhere between 9 wins and a draw from the first 10 to an absolute worst case of 7 wins, 2 losses and a draw from them as the benchmark to be acceptable. Fair enough, be interesting to see where you land and obviously I agree that 4 wins, a draw and 5 losses isn't an acceptable return at all but expect you'll start the season far stronger than given he'll have the opportunity to turn over some players and the youngsters and new players last season have that bit more experience in the Prem under their belts.
Good luck for the season regardless, hope Ange really pisses some of you guys off by being more successful than you expect he will be!
I admire your patience with that little cunt, but don't waste your time.
Matt is not, has not, and will never be a spurs fan.
Ange was living off the first 10 games for pretty much the entire 2nd half of the season.
He can't even use the injury issues from February onwards as an excuse. We were shit.
What you need to do

We've got a clown of a coach who is on a one way trip to a P45 and legion of weird cultists who can't see it. Are you in the cult?What you need to do

Mate, I fully agree with you but you're wasting your time.
This pillock has a vendetta against Ange, it's clear to see.
Unlike you and most of this forum, he's not a spurs supporters. He's a gooner troll who isn't worth yours (or anyones) time of die.
I've given enough of my time this morning reading his ridiculously stupid posts. Time to block him.
Why is he on a one way trip to a P45 (apart from that being the way most managerial roles finish in general)? Because we finished the season poorly? I was under the impression that this would be a new season, with additional players, playing against changed squads, after a month's training, etc.
With regards to Ange cultists, pretty much every single person familiar with him said when he joined not to expect too much from the first season. That it'd be rocky, up and down and inconsistent. Seems to me everything is going according to plan.
Because he will continue in the same trajectory as he ended last season. Downwards. I have seen nothing that suggests he has enough about him to turn it around.Why is he on a one way trip to a P45 (apart from that being the way most managerial roles finish in general)?

In an ideal world I would be proven horribly wrong, he turns it around in a "walking on water-esq" act of impressiveness and Spurs go on to great things.
But this isn't my first rodeo, I've seen this and how it plays out dozens of times now.
I say it regularly, I'd rather be wrong and be left with egg on my face. I really would.
The 2nd part here is an excuse. I agree with almost any new manager not to expect much in the first season. Usually you change when a team is struggling so it may take a while to fix it.
However, I expect to see improvement during the first season, not quite obvious decline. I would expect to see performances improve, not get worse. Even if the results aren't all brilliant, you can see a team being forged when a coach is doing a good job coaching.
What we saw was far from that. We got worse in almost every area of the pitch and I actually hated watching us for probably the last 3rd of the season.
That's fine. I don't need your acceptance. Feel free to put me on ignore.
No us Aussies believe in giving everyone a fair go!That's fine. I don't need your acceptance. Feel free to put me on ignore.
Its fun watching you become a bigger dick than you already are!
Hope he’s asked about Southgate and England. Got a feeling he might be quite cutting.
Just for the record, I'm not accusing all aussies of not being Spurs fans. I can easily see you've been on here since before Ange even made a name for himself.
But there are aussies that literally only joined here when we first approached him last summer and clearly aren't Spurs fans and know very little about our ability to fail.
But it has been consistent. Consistently shit.

Ha ha..ha ha....So the plan was to end the season with our worst run of league form for 16 years, get knocked out of both domestic cup competitions in their embryonic stages, and have our pants pulled down and bottoms smacked by all 3 of our biggest traditional rivals!!!!.
We didn't win a single fucking game in 6 attempts against them.
Yeah.....Great job
Going to plan, mate.

He should be focusing on his own shortcomings
Some diabolical performances this year and a shambolic approach to set pieces
Im sure he is but while he’s on itv I suspect he will give his opinion of the tournament. People are capable of doing two things at once.
The beginning of the season was excellent, cup exit notwithstanding. Being top of the league for a quarter of the season isn't shit.
The middle of the season was middling. A bit meh.
The end of the season was shit.
Cup performance: poor. League performance: reasonable, finishing 5th during a rebuild season.
So overall, up and down and inconsistent, exactly like I said.
No, the plan is to build a team capable winning things in the long run and not spilt hairs between finishing 4th or 5th, which were the only two positions we were realistically capable of achieving this year with this squad anyhow.Ha ha..ha ha....So the plan was to end the season with our worst run of league form for 16 years, get knocked out of both domestic cup competitions in their embryonic stages, and have our pants pulled down and bottoms smacked by all 3 of our biggest traditional rivals!!!!.

Now take a step back, think and understand that what happens going forward is what's important, not what happened during the embryologic stages of a rebuild, you mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, big fat broke stupid wrestling-loving imbecile.
