I think this is wishful thinking. We'd all love them to be selling up but I don't see it. They're happy as a pig in shit.
The thing what bugs me about Ange and his press conferences, is he moans about being hard done with injuries, but what about Leicester away, Newcastle away, Palace away, Fulham home, Ipswich home, Brighton away.
He fielded a very strong side in those games and we still lost or dropped points. I'd love someone to just respond with that when he wheels out the usual injury excuses. Yes we do have injuries now, but we didn't earlier in the season and we were still shit.
If we had won a few of those games earlier in the season, it would have given us a buffer and we wouldn't be where we are now in the league.
I made this point in September, that it isn't a good sign when you are losing despite performances being ok, because as soon as those performances drop off, we'll be fucked. But everyone was like, no we are on the verge of something special with Ange. LOL.
Anyway, now the leaks have started from the players, yeah he's fucked.

Lol are you seriously trying to defend Ange and/or his record, just look at the points tally for Gods sake, look at our league position and take into account that current form is just about worst in the league bar the bottom two.
Do you think Pool.are overly worried about going one down at half time, knowing the second half is in the graveyard that is Anfield, one of our worst hunting grounds, the only thing they probably would fear is a new manager bounce.
As for City, our win was the first in what was the start of their decline, practically everyone took points off them for the next ten games.
As for starting well against Woolwich, unfortunately games are played over 90 minutes.
Utd are a bigger basket case than I'd, was a battle of the clueless and leaderless that we edged.
I wanted Ange to succeed as much as the next man, but always knew he would have to do it with one hand tied behind his back, as Levy does with all managers. In saying that and even allowing for injuries, he is completely out of his depth. He has one style of play, it was quickly figured out by everyone and he refuses to adapt, the end is nigh and the sooner it happens the better for all involved.
For once I can see how for some players training might actually be too much. Some of these guys are playing full minutes twice per week, in addition to training. I can’t imagine there’s a lot of time to recover , doubly so for the likes of Dragusin who seem to keep having to play through a knock every so often
I actually think Sami Mikobel has gone early on his story, trying to be first to break anything expecting the sacking of Ange soon.
I think the players are behind Ange, and training isn't as bad as being made out. I can't see Marco Silva being a Lange guy, but Frank, McKenna and Iraola will be. I don't think Ange's future will be determined by Thursday's game, but definitely by Sunday's.
Stinks of clickbait to me, easy to invent scenarios and who really is going to question them? Truth is, we have no clue what the players think.
So what’s that say about Thick Dundee ?
He's definitely not on your Christmas card list is he
Make Tottenham great again!Once President Trump has liberated the country from Keir Stalin, please also liberate Tottenham Hotspur from ENIC and Ange please Mr Trump.
What else do they have to do? It’s total bollocks. They have nothing else to do apart from train, play, eat, sleep and recover.
Playing with a knock is part of professional sport, it’s nothing that isn’t happening at other clubs or in other sports.
The mentality of this club is so weak, it’s frightening.
Was he the one who mentioned players seem to be spilt?
I understand the average 'workday' for a footballer is about four hours - training around 8am-12pm including recovery, physio etc., and then the afternoon off. Some are super into the gym, others aren't, as you would expect. The games come thick and fast though.
I can understand the stresses and strains from intensity in games - which is why training needs to be at the right level, of course - but I don't see how fit young guys in excellent health complain about being knackered, it seems odd to me. Mind you we do seem to get A LOT of injuries in training, too many to just be a coincidence...
I think you’re underestimating the impact on a persons body, even professional athletes.
Guys like Porro look absolutely knackered. The same thing will likely happen to Spence.
Yep. No one else is or has reported it.
Oh fuck me the professional athlete paid a motza has to play twice a week. Cry me a river ffs.
Salah is fucking 32/33 and playing twice a week and his performances haven’t dropped off and I doubt Slot doesn’t train them hard.Oh fuck me the professional athlete paid a motza has to play twice a week. Cry me a river ffs.
And that cunt has contract issues.
If true it’s a recurring issue with us. Conte said it best. Too comfortable. Players have too much power. In any other job you can’t influence the management of the organisation or refuse to do your job.
And you’re underestimating the impact of injuries and overestimating Ange’s input on the knackeredness.
Seriously though 2 games a week! In my amateur days I played of a weekend, had a weekday work comp and then a Thursday night indoor comp. Plus a fuck around most nights. And I was generally stoned too.
Salah is a phenomenon, bit of an anomaly player
