Maybe it was YOU that missed MY point?

Poch and his crew were excellent Southampton and Espanyol. Promotions can work.Also worried about his backroom staff as well. Think one of his crew were ex Bournemouth when we played Bournemouth away said on coverage. That alarmed me. Ex barcelona, real madrid or bayern then ok but ex Bournemouth ffs.
I said EXACTLY this, a very long time ago. I got shot down it literally makes zero sense. If you have a system that has such specific requirements it would be absolutely vital to have folk charged with teaching and implementing be steeped in the system for years. Many of the things he does including the never resting go totally against the ALL recieved wisdom. It killed me people couldn't simply see it made fuckall sense.Ange has a very strange approach .
He allegedly does not spend time on the training ground leaving it to the coaches .Yet he does not take his own coaching team with him and will work with whoever is there at the time. This was an absolutely ridiculous approach to take right from day one . It makes zero sense to me and alarm bells should have been going off immediately, this begs one question.
Why did I back him for 18 months ?
I really have no idea , I really don’t
Inject this enthusiasm into my veins!! You have made my Monday morning!Most people on here agreed at the start of the season that they would prefer than we make a decent run at the cups, rather than battling for 6th (4th if a miracle happens).
With the injuries it was clear we had to choose a path - focus on cups or focus on 6th.
We've gone all in on the cups. 1 semifinal and now into the quarters of Europa.
With any luck, the board would have seen the impact of the injury crisis this year, and assuming we qualify for Europe; will actually give Ange a full squad.
I don’t know if you’ve seen this but this is Ange being frustrated

The day the fat bastard gets the boot, that muppet leaves the forum. Can't friggin wait. How he's not been kicked out and how he's got 4 stars is beyond me. So obvious he ain't a Spurs fan.

So apart from a decent league cup run weve got nothing really. Bumbled through EL with some dreadful performances playing nobodies, battered in league cup semi final. Battered in the fa cup. Looked totally clueless.Of course, we all want to WIN the cup. But the point here was that many fans wanted the club to go full force for a trophy, instead of prioritizing finishing 4th above all else.
Firing Jose b4 the cup final was criminal; and clear indication that the board values $$$$ over trophies. Winning the Cup would likely have triggered an automatic renewal in Jose's contract - and it would have cost the club an extra 20m+ to fire him.
It's refreshing to have a coach openly say that he's not here to finish 4th. He's here to bring trophies to Spurs.
Cup over 4th all day.Of course, we all want to WIN the cup. But the point here was that many fans wanted the club to go full force for a trophy, instead of prioritizing finishing 4th above all else.

Does anyone know what he has told to his coaches and how often he meets with them giving them specific instructions?Ange has a very strange approach .

He's been here since 2019 (actually before you). So, obviously he's not an Ange fan unless he's a fucking good hacker.The day the fat bastard gets the boot, that muppet leaves the forum.

Still not there, it wasn’t critical but try againErm, I don't think so maaate - You summed up the story of my life.

the real Lone Ranger takes Judge Jordan with him ...Ange has a very strange approach .

....but....but....we've scored LOADS and if we lose its only by the ONE GOAL35% win rate in the league this season. 31% excluding Southampton who are League One quality.

By the way dont be hard on yourself for wanting it to work. I don't think you were totally fooled. I met him.and told everyone I liked him. He was very affable in person the kids loved him. But the man I'd met and the one I saw in post match interview were very diffrent so it took a bit of time to work out which of these personality traits were genuine. I just started seperate the man I liked with the shocking tactical stuff then came tge disembling and the utterly cavalier way he dealt with Djed Spence. On what simply seem the say of two very weird blokes indeed. Spence has had some real oddballs to navigate Postacogluu Warnock Farke Conte. Cooper he thrives under. This tells me Spence is not the odd one in the sentence.He's an awful coach and man-manager, I'm so annoyed that I got taken in by him, at the beginning. I gave him the benefit of the doubt until he turned on us before the Man C game last year. He's a fraud, totally out of his depth, and even if we manage to win the EL (unlikely, but you never know, stranger things have happened in football), it will be in spite of Ange, not because of him.
Fair enough.He's been here since 2019 (actually before you). So, obviously he's not an Ange fan unless he's a fucking good hacker.
