Now if only we could get into the goldilocks zone and stay there
Close to no chance. He's clearly lost the last of his support, players arent listening, toxic amongst the fans, season ticket renewals bound to be sluggish. Think he'd have to at least get to the final of the Europa and win 7 or 8 of our remaining league games to even have a sniff. Neither of those things are happening. More likely to end up 15th or 16th.
Yup.
Poch, for comparisons sake, could also be confusing. But he was not a native English speaker and a bit of a mentalist. His talk about lemons and cows and all that.
Ange is actively looking to confuse and deflect.
Yep that ship has not only sailed, it's hit an iceberg and is currently plummeting towards the bottom of the Atlantic.
We beat Bournemouth and go out against AZ then. Cheers Ange. Thanks Daniel.
I disliked Jose for his Chavs connection and his arrogant attitude, but I always respected his talent and achievements.
Ange is just a prick and an awful manager. I've zero respect for the man or the football person.
tbh as long as he actually does it on sunday. VDV, Romero, solanke, odobert , udgoie need a good 70 mins if they're gonna have any impact for us on thursday
our whole season in one 90 mins, no point keeping them on ice only for them to lack completive match sharpness on thursday
That's what I read too. He's sort of preparing everyone that exiting Europa is possible, but he will would wanna achieve as high as possible the league standing. He's just stating the fucking obvious.
Eh we still play in the PL and still can pay good wages (compared to all but what, 10 teams in the world?). I know people think we're cheap, and certainly compared to Man City, Man U, etc we can be. But on the global scale, we are not. People said this stuff after the Mourinho, Nuno fiasco and we went out and hired the best coach on the market in Antonio Conte. We've very recently signed top youngsters who surely had other options. Aston Villa took Emery mid season from Villarreal because PL and money.
Players aren't as sensible as you think. PL and Money will get 90% of players. Mainly the latter, hence Saudi Arabia.
He needs to be eliminated from all the competitions before, apparently
Under previous managers you'd be wincing every morning after a string of bad results as you expected the sacking. By our normal standards he should've gone months ago. Now expectations are so low that we just accept mediocrity.
Something that is difficult for me to gauge here in America is what the level of Postecoglou's support is among fans. Just judging off what I read on the internet it still looks like he has a lot of backing. What's your impression from interacting with other Spurs fans?
I stopped going a few years back but still know people that go and some that dont. Most of them arent rabble rousers demanding sackings every 5 minutes but i dont know 1 that doesnt want him gone either now or end of the season. Problem is the overiding feeling just seems to be complete indifference. Long time fans have just been worn down.
if we got out he'll likely say there's still a good chunk of the season left, the table is tight and we believe we can still do something etc etc.
we'd have to probably win 9 out of 11 games which would give us 60 points and probably 7th. but i cant see us winning more than 4 or 5 at best
so this is kind of fun. read david brent quotes in ange's voice
"I don’t give shitty jobs mate. If a good man comes to me and says, “thank you, Ange, for the opportunity and continued support in the football-related arena, but I’ve done that, I want to better myself, I want to move on,” then I can make that dream come true, too, a.k.a. for you."
"My world does not end with these four walls mate. Tottenham's a big place, and when I’m finished with Spurs, there’s Reading, Aldershot, Bracknell, you know, I’ve got Didcot, Yateley. Winnersh. Taplow, you know? Because I am my own boss, I can – Burfield – I can wake up one morning and go, “Oh, I don’t feel like working today, can I just stay in bed?”
"But, uh, you know, I suppose I’ve created an atmosphere where I am a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third."

The way the UEL draw is and the type of teams remaining, it is a HISTORICAL chance for us to win it if this fraud is replaced with a real interim manager until the end of the season. Get Harry, Benitez, etc.
Remember Di Matteo at chelsea in 2012 when he replaced AVB? How did that interim manger work? I am sure some chelsea fans were begging for more time for AVB, and most wanted him out. We are in a similar situation. Get a caretaker until the end of season. This guy we have now has no clue and is selling us air.

I don't think he's a good football manager. But I don't think he's actually aware of that or trying to con anyone.
That in in of itself takes a level of talent I doubt he has.
There are NO "good" times on the radar imv..
