Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

And this is the reason we go nowhere as a club don't always blame levy blame the fans for falling for the crap every time. Worst manager in 15 years and somehow we want him to stay where was conte support or Jose he'll even nuno was better

Did you back Conte, Jose or Nuno???? I very much doubt you did

That's the problem here, the fans rarely back any manager through the hard times
 
Shady, why do you expect clowns like us on the internet to be able to provide you a list of available managers? Should we know their contractual status too?

I would expect the club, at all times, to be aware of each and every manager across the top five leagues, as well as South America and the United States.

They should, at the very least, already be planning for a replacement in the Summer.

I mean, the only names that we can sensibly offer are the likes of Silva, Irola etc. But then you have more distant options like Alonso, Nagelsmann or Terzic.

It’s the entire point of a functioning and effective Football Operation.

What happens if we lose the next three and are in 15th or 16th?

Dude I answered this here:

Dude it's not a job lol, it's not that serious, merely a debate - we're on a forum discussing the manager and potentially the next one.

It's not really a gotcha, if you can't answer the question then fine, ultimately my point is that I want to get people to think rationally because sacking the manager is easy...replace him though...

My point is that ironically the Ange outers don't have a Plan B and why is that because they know there's no guarantees of things getting any better.

My question was about now by the way, not the Summer, I fully expect us to sack him if things carry on like this all season in the Summer and he would have more than deserved it but what does sacking him now actually achieve, has anyone actually thought about the alternative scenario for the rest of the season because it's clear they haven't.
 
Slot hasnt done anything revolutionary. Had the players just tweaked a few things and kept it simple. I do empathise with vdv and romero being out but you have to be flexible and adjust formation. Ange did none of that today.
 

Breaking the loop is breaking the loop. Might not even be Ange that gets to reap the rewards if we stick by him. We just need to break the culture of flip flopping all the time when it gets difficult.

Finish the season, see where it takes you. At least the next manager you pitch to knows he's not walking into a poisoned chalice where he's probably getting sacked if things get rough. Conte played to get sacked when things got rough because he knew Levy had created a flip flop culture that would bail him out of the mess he was in. He got to leave with his reputation intact and will now join the list of players and managers who leave and win things before we do.

No matter how rough it gets this season, we can't just keep being flakey and expect things to change.
 
61,439 punters turned up and only a tiny few are unhappy with Ange-ball.
They stayed and sang until the end.
We have 3 cups to go for and many EPL games against teams that ain't the best in the world.
It's gonna be a fun ride for 95%+ of fans, and, as for the other less than 5%-fuck ''em!
How do you know that? Did you ask them?

I stayed til the end, like I do in every single match no matter what. I think Angeball is amateur shite.
 
You could make the argument about anyone really.

I don't know what your stance is on the manager but do you want him gone? If things like this carry on until the end of the season do you want him to stay? Are you going to be thinking there's no-one out there just because they may not be the answer?
I don't want him gone right now because it will be Mason until the end of the season which is pointless. I'd rather give him to the end of the season to see if he can possibly turn it around.

But if this continues to the end of the season then I wouldn't have any issue if he was sacked. And tbh if he isn't going to be fully backed it will be a disaster anyway so it would be for the best.

Most of fans probably back Ange because we are playing attacking football. I’m still Ange IN, just because of the injuries. If Vicario was on the goal today we wouldn’t concede 6 goals. That doesn’t mean the season wasn’t poor so far. But thoose 4 years of Mourinho, Nuno and Conte were so miserable I don’t want to ever come back to that football. It’s not great with Ange, but let him finish the season.

You and me are on the same page. 💪
 
The club 100% has a list of potential replacements if things with Ange don't work out. Both names for the summer and names to approach in the short term if we need to make a mid season change.

You don't operate a football club of this size without some form of future planning. Some times it will take longer than others to appoint a new name of course. Because no negotiation is like the other.
 
Man, Ange wasted 50 m on BJ. He didn't play Spence all season until every other option was gone. He's been playing BJ throughout the season, and I'm convinced he's starting again next game.

He's refused to drop Romero despite Romero fucking up over and over this season. You must drop a player making so many mistakes. If not, what do you communicate to the other players?

He's made too many mistakes. He must go.

None of that matters to me. But it does to you and you are entitled to your opinion. Best manager in the world up in Manchester is currently going through a torrid time. It's football, shit happens

If we lose the next the next three mate. Then according to these people me , you and Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman tear up a bit of A4 with a list of living football mangers on put them in our pockets and randomly pull one out , a round of rock paper scissor ensues and we do this till one name remains. Got to tell you I'm not cherishing the responsibility.

Yeah, but only after he’s won everything there is to win.

Edit: I find it such a cop out using Pep as a point, this is genuinely someone who has done it at the top level, year upon year in the other leagues that aren’t backwater ones.
