My logic would be that his replacement won't be available until the Summer so if we sack him now who is your preferred caretaker coach to finish out this season? That is why I'm not jumping around with excitement at the idea of sacking him right now. We won't have a good new manager until next season either way
You honestly don’t think there is anyone in the world who will accept £100k-£200k p/w for 5 months, who will stand a better chance than Angelos of keeping us in the PL?

Not one person ?

Ange will keep us in the league .. we'll get a few players back and we will tread water. There's a decent little points gap. We'd have to end up with the worst form in the league over a very consistent period to get relegated from here. We are in that discussion but its incredibly unlikely to actually happen.

The fact we are on the periphery of the relegation candidates though ... good god how wrong the cultists have been proven to be. And no shame about it either. No ability to hold their hands up, just parroting the same old lines to protect their online egos. The ones who haven't disappeared anyway.

Although I still think it more likely than not that we stay in the PL with Ange, the odds are shifting week by week against that view.
 
Porro interview dropped, he says some interesting things about training that a few of you might want to read, you probably won't like what he says though.
 
I agree. You’ve even got journalists now who are saying that he doesn’t need to provide headline quotes every single press conference as it is only putting pressure on him. Yet it seems that’s what he continues today. When journalists are saying that, I think it was Dan Kilpatrick, Then you know it’s probably correct as they live off those.
It comes back to the idea that everything is about him.
 
I’d go further than humorous. I think it’s quite concerning that actual adults act in this way. The need to be agreed with. The need to target people who don’t agree with them. It’s the kind of behaviour I’d expect of kids at primary. As you say, name calling at 10 paces. We are becoming soft as fuck as a society if these folk are any reflection of the general public.
Agree.

There's also a few who actively monitor other posters opinions and hunt them down for any perceived "hypocrisy" over time. It's so pathetic. I mean, who cares if someone changes their mind or doesn't keep perfect consistency in their opinions on a football forum.
 
A year or two ago I would agree with you. But now I’m not so sure . You are on a hiding to nothing managing this club now. Your bank balance will improve but your CV won’t.
That’s weird. All I’m reading on here is:

Conte is top of the league.
Nuno near the top.
Poch USMNT Manager.
Jose doing well in Turkey.
AVB King of Porto.

Seems like getting hired and fired here does spectacular things for your CV. Iriola would come here and be manager of Real Madrid in a couple of years.

I don’t think managing the US national side is a career highlight for Pochettino and AVB has just moved in to a role he’s more suited to than management.

Pretty sure Jose is also doing terribly.

I don't think firing him before the end of the season accomplishes much. But I'd be leaving cardboard boxes in the hallway outside his office for him to start passing his personal effects now.
 
I will love it when it wins a cup double at the end of the season.

All this trouble and turmoil will make it even sweeter

Yeah mate and when we don’t do that (like with literally all the things you predict) you’ll move on to the next delusional claim without a second thought.

You probably had us challenging for a league this season, why would I or anyone else care about what you *think* will happen at Spurs? 99% of it never does.

If you don’t care what I think, why did you reply to my post?

Was it the first or second post after returning from a ban?
Should I be honoured even?
