He’s getting the season.

I think if he was getting sacked this season it was happening after Everton or at a push Leicester. That was our lowest point where relegation was genuinely a question if we had lost to Brentford.

They’re just going to accept the crap season and hire someone new in the summer.

I suspect you're right.

I think the Brentford win pushed us into just about safe territory. Not mathematically but I just can't see the bottom three catching us.

If we were going to try a change to rescue our cup prospects that really should have been done in January. As it is there's no point sacking him.

The jeopardy for the season has gone as have all the prizes. It's only February and every match left in our domestic season is now a dead rubber. Sucks to be a season ticket holder, all those matches with nothing riding on any one of them. He may as well rest players in the league and do a moonshot for the Europa league. I dont think we can win it but what else is there to do to fill the void?

What a mess we've gotten into.
 
Would be a strange time to sack him after waiting this long to get some of the squad back. We were underdogs in both cup matches, yes the performances were shit but may as well see how we do against United with a full weeks rest. If they sack him now they should have sacked him after Leicester or if not definitely after Everton.
 
The worst of it and fcuk me there is so much, is the way this guy failed to understand last season and the City match, for the majority of Spurs fans.

At that point you might have been forgiven for thinking Postecoglou might have done anything to be a winner

How far from the truth could we have been.

Whilst it seemed he didn’t understand our feelings about the City game ; in his defence, he couldn’t have come out publicly with anything other than what he said ; or he could have been facing a charge.

What irks me is that he doesn’t seem to have the same aggressive , raw meat-eating “I’m only interested in winning mate ; whoever the opponents are” mentality when we are playing games that 100% of the fan-base actually want the team to win.

If you see what I mean .

So, hypothetically speaking,

What happens when they keep him for next season, and we get the same injury issues? Write off another season because Genius Ange cannot work unless everyone is healthy?

Under a lot of pressure Ange just think being 59 have to consider that. Perhaps being a bit soft but business is business after all. One thing I did like Ange saying to press liverpool lost to plymouth and got vibe press werent on Slots case. Regardless I think we will have a new manager next season. My preference is iraola next season and dont go to plan poch 2026 after WC to stabilise us for 3 years. Surprised chelsea fire him tbh. Think they would have challenged for title if they stuck with him. Maresca under pressure at chelsea and just a hunch they may go for iraola if they dont get top 4 and win conference league.

Not sure why his age would be a factor to consider?!

He’s 59, not 80 with a dicky ticker and it’s not like he’d need to consider difficulty in re-employment like a normal member of the population at that age.

You really don't know that. Anything could happen between now and the press conference on Friday tbh.

I can't think of many managers that were sacked on a Monday morning after a bad Sunday evening result.

Conte went full ragebeast and nothing was said for weeks as it was an international break.
Nuno was sacked on a Monday after a Saturday loss.
Mourinho was a Monday after a Friday game.
Poch 10 days after his last game during a 2 week international break.

I do think Levy likes to ask around at the club, including senior players, what their thoughts are.
Which is problematic here, as the players probably love doing fuck all in training.

Problem is Levy’s most likely move would be to appoint Mason as interim. This would cause a riot and a lot of Ange out believe this would be a disaster. If Ange can get a couple of wins before then Levy can claim it was the injury crisis and keep him until the end of the season. Then no payoff and the only thing would be that we go out of the Europa League that we would unlikely to win anyway in his head.

How’s that work when he has a contract to (I think) 2027?

Mason would be more steady than suicide ball.
Fans need to wrap their head around the facr we need to steady the ship drastically.

100pc I wanted to win that City game so don’t give a fuck on that. But Ange is not a “win at all costs” coach. Nothing like jt

If that was a once off id say fair enough but its all game every game. I was derided by a certain individual when i mentioned i was an amateur coach. Told that i hadnt a clue what i was talking about at this level. That i was giving it the big one that i knew everything.
Even an amateur coach would not do whats shown above. Mental stuff.

That said individual hasnt been seen since yesterday. Will come back on in a day or 2 spouting nonsence
