Iraola has done fantastic with the Cherries, but no guarantee he'd be a hit here. Seems to be a real structure & strategy in place at Bournemouth, directors working hand in hand to begin with...and a real togetherness between the players, who don't look like selfish, egotistic cry babies who shit the bed when the going gets tough. Now at Spurs on the other hand...
Yep. Spot on especially as there's now a fraction inside the club and outside ( I think that's Paratici but can't prove it) who are very critical of Lange and think he needs replacing. We are the opposite of structured.
 
Looks like we are stuck with him for another month at least.

Delighted to go through but still think it'll be all for nothing. We will get battered by the first decent side we face, although lucky for us and Ange, there aren't many left in the competition.

Last night was just chaotic football. There is absolutely no tactics, plan or control, as there hasn't been since Ange arrived. It is you have a go we have a go. It's basically a really shite version of Bielsa's football.

We won because we have a better team than AZ, by a huge margin. Yet we still scraped through 3-2. The chances we cough up every single game are just criminal.

We are honestly the worst managed / coached Spurs side I have seen in 40 years.

The way we play I just can't see us winning this trophy. But in football anything can happen. If we do it will be pure luck.

Just want him gone honestly, just so sick of him.
He's here until the end of the season now. Europa quarters mid April so only 5 weeks and 6 games of the season left after that if we go out.

I guess he might go with a game left or something like that if we want to make an early move on Iraola if he looks like he might sign a new contract but suspect they'll do that behind the scenes. Just dont want this end of season review dragging on until June and us being left looking dithering and clueless again.

I've said it a zillion times, you could get Pep/Carlo/Cruyff/Sir Alex to manage us, we'd still do crap as long as the board stays and the players are lazy, overrated sissies. Iraola is a million times the manager Ange is, but he ain't a miracle worker.
 
People may think I'm crazy but if Ritchie can be fit for the last part of the season he can be a real darkhorse in this situation.

Top level sport is littered with examples of blokes with very real ability that just don't live up to it for one reason or another.

A small percentage of those are lucky enough to find themselves in a position to have one last crack. With expectations low, and only they with something to prove to themselves and others. The pressure of expectation long departed.

I can give a number of examples of people across sports in exactly this position, who subsequently put in a monster when it really counted most.

I think it's a real possibility and I hope Ritchie becomes another example. All to play for and nothing to lose.

Agree, I'll be honest. I am seriously concerned Ange will get next season.

Especially if we make the final, and he can point to it and say "progress mate", and Levy might fall for it.

If he gets next season regardless of winning thr trophy, I'll be sick with anger and disgust.

I cannot go through another season, another wasted year with this cunt in charge.

But, I have to be honest, I would take winning the trophy and him being given next season, because I know he'll be sacked by October anyway once we start the season with constant defeats and Levy realises we have 2 points from 8 games and are heading for relegation.

Winning the Europa will be this clubs biggest achievement in decades. So Ange being given a couple of months next season is worth the sacrifice. But that is worst case scenario.

If we do somehow win the cup, the club should still without a single doubt sack him and say thanks for the cup Ange, but you're finished here. Anything less than that, and we are run by absolute clowns.

There are no circumstances at this point, where Ange should be here next season. It's staggering he is still here to be honest.

This squad can go places, but they need a competent manager in charge, not this clown.
 
Groan.

A quick question to all you Australians and Kiwis, THOTS, cucks, pickpockets, Nigerian internet love scammers, Shaydan, those who are balding but use Regaine, Asian tourists. .. and all those on these pages who have started repeating, ad nauseam, that Spurs can win this easily as the teams left are "weaker than us".

Right.

Atheltic Bilbao
Lazio
Lyon
Rangers
Eintracht Frankfurt
Man United.

How on earth do you look at how Ange has us playing against genuinely shitty teams... look at the above teams... and come to the conclusion that somehow ANGE and his bizarre brand of non football is favourite to win the whole thing??

You people are spitting on the men, women and children who travel to away games here and in Europe, the perpetual cancelled flights and train delays, the Levy tax scam against club members and all that shit that goes with being a 'go-to-the-actua-game' fan of this great club.

Civil war is coming when we get knocked out and it's going to be peak blud....

No need for the cunt. Its been thrown about here a lot and i dont think its needed no matter what your feelings are towards him
 
One goal lead on aggregate, 80 minutes in to the game and we still concede a 3 on 2 attack (or something like that) because our full backs are stupidly high up the pitch once again. We get away with it today because the opposition probably isn't Premier League standard but as soon as we're playing someone decent, as we will in the next round, we certainly won't get away with it. It's baffling how this is still happening.
Ange hasn't got a clue about game management. This will continue to happen because he doesn't learn, he's also an arrogant prick.

we're joint 3rd favourites to win it with bookies, don't think there's many if any spurs fan who thinks we are favourites? i'd say 3rd might be generous even, think we are underdogs from here on out

dangerous underdogs though, as on paper i think we have the best players out of the final 8. despite reservations of the coach's tactics if the following can play to their best ability

Vic
VDV
Romero
Spence/porro
Son/solanke/Kulu/Richie/Maddison/tel/odo

we have hope

we aint faves now, we are 4th on 365. bilbao are faves.
 
thanks for the cup Ange
this is what gets me, like this fat scruff would be the magic ingredient to winning the thing loool. if we win it it, it will be through sheer player quality dragging us through, even through the handicap of having this fat, clueless cunt as the manager.

dream case scenario is we do win it and some other premier league club actually think hiring him is a good idea...thats the fucking dream.

You lost all credibility when you put Man U in there ... the same Man U we've beaten 3 times this season.

It's just a phrase that probably what Levy would say to him. I certainly wouldn't. I agree with you, it'll be the players despite him, not his coaching or tactics that have any impact.

If another PL team hire him it'll be a guranteed 6 points for us next season.
