Dude we're not going to agree on this, it's cool

I just think the idea to sack this dude (which he more than deserves by the way) to replace him with a less experienced dude in a see what happens and roll the dice scenario is just pure desperation.

I would honestly rather Sean Dyche or Big Same came in for a few months than Ryan Fucking Mason, Christ sake and the thought of those managers in charge fill me with dread!

It's not even hero worship, Ange is fucking shite, I was wrong about him, happy to admit that but Mason can fuck off and anyone who think that's a good idea can get in the bin :lol:

We might need one of them at this rate and I am not even kidding lol.

I don’t want Mason anywhere near the job either, I actually agree with you on this. The club needs to bring someone in either on a temp until the end of the season or a permanent replacement.

No more fucking Ryan Mason, he shouldn’t even be at the club coaching as far as I am concerned.

Hire someone who is then.

You always do this; demand that fans explicitly state who the new manager should be or which player needs to be purchased. You do it to strawman discussions about Levy or discussions about Ange.

We are losing *every* fucking game of football at the moment. Mason cannot empirically do worse. But, if he is that shit, then our cutting edge football operation should have a fucking plan in place to install someone who can string together a few wins.

That’s not an especially high bar to expect we clear.

I dont blame people on here, we're all just shouting into the void. I do blame the idiots in the stadium singing his name long after it was obvious he was a complete bluffer. They are partially responsible for buying him time and giving Levy a get out. I dont think managers should have songs until they've seriously improved us at the very least.

Spot on. God I would cringe whenever you'd hear that "Postecoglou" song emanate from the south stand. Just lost three on the bounce, we go 1-nil up to Ipswich or whoever and those sheep are straight back to bleating his song again. Obviously then we go on to fail to win the game. This fanbase deserves everything it gets.
 
These are the stats that removed the wool from my eyes , was shocked when I saw them to be honest. The hype had him painted as all-conquering.

Outside of Celtic (comparisons below), a sub 50% win rate is just his thing.

Brisbane Roar: 50%
Melbourne Victory: 47%
Australia: 45%
Yokohama: 49%
Celtic :73%
Tottenham: 49%

Some other comparisons:

Pochettino at Spurs:54%
Tim Sherwood: 50%
The Nuno "disaster" at Spurs: 47%

Brendan Rodgers at Celtic: 70 and 72%
Neil Lennon at Celtic: 70%

Fair on you mate for getting a source but it sounds like conjecture:

"It is also worth noting that sacking him could cost the club £12million and it is very unlike Spurs to part ways with such funds unless it is absolutely necessary."

ie, guesswork based on his salary.

Knowing Levy, and given the fact he'll have known the average length of a manager at Spurs is about 18 months, I'd be shocked if he didn't stipulate any payout would be far lower than the rest of his contract.

Also, didn’t Levy say he wanted to go with a ‘continental’ structure (ie, change coats every few two years or so) - this was before he employed Ange on a long contract, mind you.

So what you’re saying is, Ange did a better job at Celtic?
