Manager Ange Postecoglou
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Unless the powers that be know for certain the players have quit on the manager it's probably just as well to suffer through this season and then consider options. They can't bring Mason in again because that would just be laughable. Everything Spurs do is based somehow on agents and connections, so they probably don't have a retired manager to tap as a caretaker. Erik ten Hag, or some other fired coach from this season probably wouldn't want the job unless they were given priority consideration for next season as well. As bizarre as it sounds, the best option would be to see if Ponch has an escape clause in his contract with the US Soccer organization.All that said, I don't think the team will fire Postecoglou.
Exactly
Weak,weak weak
Endless chat about teenagers. Er … they are all the players YOU chose to sign Sweet Angelos
I don't know.. as a supporter looking from the outside I would say most likely our medical team? Or the complete lack of investment over the years?
The lack of squad depth for what we really want to achieve here? The overall reliance on players who have been PROVEN to be unreliable / injury prone.
Most likely however the underpaid, overplayed players for giving too much to a club who really doesn't give two shits about them.
Interested to hear your input though?
Yep. Worse stats and more defeats than Gross. We look more disorganised. Gross also came into a relegation fight. Postecoglou came into an established top 8 side.
Yep. He’s 300lbs of negativity and excuses
I think most of them are a year away from understanding that he's not up to the job.
Ange is using it as an excuse in every interview - its painfully obvious. Acting like the players are putting 110% in and he's so proud of them, just deflecting any ability for the interviewee to latch onto anything to further dissect his opinion/analysis on why we are playing utter tosh, inexcusably shit football week in week out.
I mean that it's not enough to salvage Ange's horror season. He has to go no matter what.
Xavi and the Dortmund guy are unemployed.
If the are going to do it and give that new coach any time to get their ideas in play before the EL, then they need to go with one of the guys that is out of a job. No chance they are going to be able to get the negotiation done in time for any coach who is currently employed.
I doubt Mason or Wells would take it on tbh and if they did, the would likely continue in a very similar vein to how we are playing now.
Ange is closing in
I just see this bloke a replica of francis. Blaming injuries and out of depth.
And effectively blaming teenagers. Er. The players he chose to sign en masse. As he was “tryin ta build something…kinda”. Mate.
Fair enough. Given what they each took on and subsequent backing i think Postecoglou is worse. Gross got 36 pts in his 26 league games 1.38 ppg. Ange over his last 26 league games has 30 pts 1.15 ppg.
All his stats are heavily weighted by that first 10 league games and some fairly easy Europa games if you're counting cups.

It really is. He's done it a ton this season. Presented it as the player's failing or falling short. And how it is up to HIM. Big strong Ange. To fix things.
It's all about him and his brand.
I was joking.
He’s paid a ton of money to set up a side , win football matches and speak to the media afterwards. If 2 out those three targets AREN’T being met : then rightly ; he’s skating on thin ice ( as we all be if given the same contract of employment) .
Maybe he’ll go for a supporter and get a nasty surprise ? Wouldn’t surprise me tbh
