Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Maybe our injuries and poor form has less to do with our Coach, and a lot to do with us having the most gruelling schedule.

Go away
 
I'm not a big Postecoglou fan, but the owner shouldn't be out with a former manager when the current one is under pressure.
I would like to feel sorry for Ange. But if he actually manages to coach the team personally with real tactical work during training so we are not 14th on the table, then Levy would probably be more privy. Even if he's not, there is nothing to be said about Ange because he has nothing to be afraid of.

It has everything to do with the coach. He did not manage his squad properly when the fixture congestion was at its peak, he showed he did not respect or understand the physical limitations of the players.

Look how much rotation he is doing now compared to back in November. Back then he was playing VDV at LB against City 3 days after he played 90 minutes away at Palace. Now he leaves him out entirely against Fulham after he only played an hour against Alkmaar in the week.

Now that he’s been humbled by his obvious lack of expertise he is starting to leave players like Son, Porro, etc out of his lineups which he NEVER used to do. And this is when our schedule is not that taxing.
 
So that’s Limes in Hadley Wood. Which opened in 2024.

It’s sunny, so initially I thought it was probably taken in March sometime in my childhood when it was always sunny. Have we had much sun like that in recent months ? The Wenger style puffers suggest at least Autumn 2024 / spring 2025.

Who is the guy on the far left ? Is he on blood pressure medication ? I do hope so.

The other chap is Levy’s brother in law Alan so and so, right ?

Elementary Dr Watson ( sorry Doctor Tottenham )

Clearly AI shenanigans going on here.

Poch’s right arm has disappeared. He definitely had 2 arms last time I saw him. Common AI mistake.

And he’s got two pairs of sunglasses hanging off his jumper. Which is just plain weird.
But it’s what happens when you tell AI to create a pair of sunglasses.

These robots are too literal for their own good.

Daniel levy has far too much respect for Ange to have a catch up with Poch. Crazy we would even think such a thing is possible!!

Have also had it confirmed by non Ai sources this photo is not fake.
Unfortunately given no clear idea why they were meeting up. That’s the million dollar question.
Or maybe a few million dollars………. I’m guessing there.
 
From the presser:
That's 15 league defeats now, what can you say to the fans?

I get their disappointment. It's unacceptable to see 15 league defeats. It's nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be and I understand the supporters' frustrations with that. Today wasn't so much about performance, it was just another day when we let a game get away from us that we shouldn't have.

So according to Ange the performance was fine…
The last sentence tells you all you need to ‘let the gane get away from us…’. Wdf doesn’t he see that and try to do something about it. I said before he always says after the game what the problem is but never either knows or does anything during the game.
 
You know what’s funny?

For all the praise Ange gets for his press conferences, does he ever actually talk footballing tactics?

I swear to god I can’t actually recall him ever reflecting on tactical aspects of the game. He just comes up with pseudo intellectual non football related bullshit, feels sorry for himself that people would dare to doubt him, moans about injuries, and has a go at reporters.

You can’t even call him a fraud, he is what he is - a bang average football manager who has won some trophies in completely insignificant leagues and has never been tested at the top level. Fair play to him Levy took a punt on a complete unknown, Ange must be loving the big salary which will set him up for life.
I said the ages ago. Never talks about tactics post match just generalisations like let the game get away from us. Although I always thought he never wants control.

I’ve come to the conclusion that he can see what’s happening. He’s just totally clueless about tactics and don’t know what to do about it.
 
The most annoying thing about Ange besides the awful results and performances and tactics. Ignoring all the incompetence.

Is all the bravado. The “it’s who we are mate”. Coming out with “are you not entertained” after we fluke a rare win despite losing 8 games in a row or something before then, and the immediately losing another 8 games afterwards. Delivering a long sermon when we scrape passed AZ, acting like he’s the godfather of football, and we are all idiots for daring to question him.

He’s just a thoroughly awful man, and incredibly thin skinned. Looking back on that Chelsea game in 2023, alarm bells went off like crazy but I didn’t think it would end up being quite this bad and toxic. He’s arrogant beyond belief, thinking that his way is the only and he should be above questioning.

Kicking off with fans. He clearly has a massive inferiority complex and is now lashing out in all directions as he realises he’s completely out of his depth.

Please Levy put him and us out of our misery and sack the useless clown.

the game got away from us the moment he subbed off Romero and we had a 19 year old midfielder and past it left back in the heart of our defence.
The only way to rectify it at that point was to bring on VDV but he's massively reluctant to take him out the bubble wrap until frankfurt no doubt
 
I want Ange gone desperately, however I don’t want Levy to be a dick about it . You were mug enough to employ the guy on a contract , just pay it up and get rid . Don’t embarrass us even more by trying to get 50 pence of the severance package . Not saying he is doing that but “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” about those photos .
 
Question remains, as I saw many suggest nearly every preseason..

Would you rather finish 5th with no trophy, or 14th with the Europa League?

I'm not suggesting the latter will happen, although it's a lot more likely than us finishing 5th. Ange might not be the answer, and it is looking likely that's the way, but every preseason I see people say "I'd take finishing 15th and winning a cup", but when it actually comes to it, the same people are unhappy that we're 14th and still in with a shot of winning cup.


Now if we finish 14th without a cup then obviously it is a disaster, and Ange should rightly be relieved of his duties, but I think we need to actually decide on what we want as fans of the club. Now I know that'll be winning a cup and finish between 1st and 6th for example, but when have we actually proven we can do that in the last 20 years? Only Poch got us close to that.
