I honestly don't think there's anything that will get him sacked, short of losing every game 7-0 from here on out. As soon as I started seeing all that PR fluff about how Emperor Ange single handedly convinced Tel to join us, I was convinced we were stuck with him.
Nobody is paying Levy's ticket prices, to watch this shite, unless they have a season ticket, beyond last night.

Levy will have no choice but to sack Ange after we are humped @ Villa because of this fact.

Levy cannot accept empty seats at the megadome.

That is where we are going.

Persuading existing season ticket holders to renew is going to be interesting too.

Levy will know this morning that he needs to get a new manager if he has any chance of keeping the jam tomorrow gravy train rolling on.

I bet you if we get beaten by Villa he wont get sacked
 
It is weird that all the injured players can't actually be arsed to come and cheer the team on from the sides in a semi final.

Whenever Kane got injured he was there come hell or highwater cheering the team on.
Its indicitive of the whole feel of the club at the moment. Everyone is just going through the motions. It reminds me of the last couple of months of Sherwood, there was another 4-0 humping at Anfield then where Vertonghen was on camera leaning against the wall in the tunnel before kick off looking like he couldnt give a shit, plus other matches when we just clearly couldnt be arsed. It was the senior pros then and its the senior pros now because rightly or wrongly they know they're playing for a dud and are dialling it in.

100% this. We are a dead team playing for a manager that everyone knows won't be here next season. He makes Sherwood look like Ancelotti. As toxic as it got under Conte, I bet the senior players miss the actual expertise and knowledge that him and his coaches brought. Ange is an amateur.
 
At what stage do we say he's lost the players?

"I didn't like the body language from the Spurs players - they were just jogging around. With Liverpool's attitude towards winning, they made it look like a training game," said former Manchester United striker Dion Dublin on BBC Radio 5 Live.

they tow the line because the next guy at Forest, Brighton, Fulham etc is probably paid less so take it while they can? Going through he motions and nodding just like he is. They get chop and changed every week..isn't that obvious? To quote a legendary spurs fan, "Is this the way to run a f*ckin ballroom."

Thing is agricultural would mean tough, hard working etc. It was a fucking shitshow. Midfield up was dreadful. Surprisingly enough most of our senior players. Ange is shit and needs to go but the fact that our senior players couldnt self motivate to burst a gut in a cup semi is damning. Biss, benta, son, richie, kulu should hang their heads. Biss, benta should be gone in summer, son to the bench, kulu a boot up the hole

Kulu is run into the ground to be fair & Son’s ageing body can no longer keep up with the pace of the game, he’s an impact sub now.

So I don’t blame those two.

Benta has missed a heck of a lot of football so he’s well rested, no excuses for his craphouse display today. We can do better.

Biss, in my view, is just a really unintelligent footballer playing in a position that requires high football IQ. Same as Benta, needs to be upgraded.

Richie is made of glass. Needs to go.

Here we go another rebuild overhaul on the way, never ending story at thfc.
 
Harry Redknapp is not the answer to the problems, no matter how well he did before (reminder he gave up as soon as he was linked with England)

Next manager is going to be let down the same way the others have.
The thing is we actually have a really good young core of players now, it won't actually take much in the transfer market -

Players we need to upgrade on are

Sonny
Richie
Maddison (never fit enough )
Brennan ( I'd keep him as a rotation option but need a better starter)
New LCB
New LWB
Bissouma

If the aim was to seriously challenge for the league we should be aiming for the season after next , this summer window is so important , we need to get the mix of experience right so younger players like Mickey Moore and Bergvail can reach their potential - Things are pretty shit at the minute but If we can get the right manager , we really aren't that far off having a good team - the trouble is if we get it wrong players like Gray and Spence end up wanting to leave to win things.
 
Get him out before he totally ruins the development of the many promising young players we have at the moment.

Gray is only being used as back 4 utility player , he seems to play a different position every game.

What good is it doing any of them playing chaotic , seemingly uncoached crap football and getting beat every week ?

That's all we need, the next generation being totally unfazed by losing as it's been bred into them from an early age.

This also stems from the fact that there is no winning culture at the club because of ENIC/Levy.
The bald cunt buys the squad watches for reaching the Champions League final because he just feels privileged to be there once in his 20 year reign.

Was plain to see in the Amazon doc. Conte spelled it out for us (but loser fans will cope by saying he was just being self-serving).

We're a weird club because we became part of the manufactured "big 6" but we're the only one that doesn't prioritise silverware. Woolwich and United are long past their glory years but the fans still demand it and expect to win a trophy every year. We were just happy to be there and now we're not even there.
 
Which injured players are coming into replace Bissouma, Bentancur and Sarr who consistently aren’t good enough for the top half level of the Prem in this Ange system (whatever the fuck that is)

Are you suggesting that Wilson, Johnson and Werner are going to make any difference? Or that we’re actually missing Dragusin who is an appalling lump of a player. Have you watched Udogie since his injury? he’s toilet.

in reality, we’re only missing Romero, VDV, Solanke, Vicario and probably Maddison (who the manager doesn’t rate/get on with) .

Is your point that we are missing 5 of our best players and the entirety of our senior midfield isn't at the level required anyway?

I mean, I agree so... 🤷‍♂️
 
100%. Worse than Gross. Worse than Ramos. This is WAY worse than the relegation season and the only reason we're likely to stay up now is that there are 3 terrible teams who are going straight back down
The only thing holding us up in the raw quality of our squad. Those other teams can't get a Tel on the last day of the window. They don't have a Son, Madders, Kulu, or a world cup winner for that matter. Nor were they given the luxury to splash about 50M on BJ.

We have one of the strongest squads in the league but it's being grossly mismanaged.

Making Munn the head of football was the first mistake and now the severity of the accumulative mistakes are starting to show,
