For a bit of context here, the season before Leicester won the PL, they barely managed to stay up, then were 5000/1 odds to win it.

This is an example to show that it doesn't really take all that much time to undo the damage done.

Each season is a reset. Our playing staff may not be contenders as champions, but a reset with the right appointment, with a structure that brings the best out of what we have, can seriously change the landscape.

EL win or not, there is a snowball's chance in Hell that he gets another season, that simply cannot be justified after losing 20 matches in a 38 match season.

My concern is not about whether he's with us next season, it's who will be. I like Glasner and think he's done a seriously good job with CP, but £17M to buy him out of CP? I highly doubt that's going to happen. Silva? Not for me, his Fulham are a bit flakey. Iraola? He's good, but Bournemouth's injuries are eerily similar to our own, so I have reservations there. Frank? He's probably next after Glasner for me. Then there's Poch. I've thought about this for a while and actually think he'd do well with us yet again, so long as he's abandoned that feckin midfield diamond idea that heavily contributed to his downfall.
All of the above seem to have some fairly hefty release clauses, so it's anyone's guess which of those it will be, or if we go off piste again for a relative unknown.

The paper talk, for what it's worth, appears to be floating Terzic again. There was obvious success at Dortmund, but he's a difficult character by all accounts. That said, he plays a 4/3/3 which favours possession. The problem with Franks, Glasner, Iraola et al, is that for all their undoubted competence, their setup is broadly defensive, with triggered pressing. It's supposedly not what we're looking to develop as a club.

You misunderstand me mate, everything you've said cannot be argued as it blindingly obvious this fraud should never have been appointed let alone need to go, but there are scoundrels like Richard Arlison Richard Arlison who need to be asked the question point blank because despite claiming to have seen the error of their ways, they still support the fraud as evidenced by an outpouring of support for a man who has us in 17th place with 20 losses after beating a League 1 team on Thursday.

Fair enough but I'm pretty sure Richard Arlison Richard Arlison is not an Ange fan... we've had a few exchanges and he strikes me as someone quite pragmatic about the situation. Far more than me where I'd chaotically sack him right now before the final!!!

Isn't there a case that our squad is actually better set up for 343 or 532 with the likes of Spence, Porro, Udogie all more comfortable as wing backs than full backs

porro and spence are sweet for the RB. udogie is crap though aint he, poor on the ball and a braindead defender who doesnt have instincts for the game. we need a new LB, huge weak link now at the back. porro aint a great defender but the payoff is his technical ability.

Who would be the third centre back? Ben Davies does it for Wales but he is most likely leaving in the Summer. It might work better next season if Phillips or Vuskovic could step into that role. Maybe that is where Gray will end up.

It worked under Poch when Dier was in midfield and could drop back into a 3 when we had the ball, freeing up Rose and Walker to go forward. We don't really have anyone you could trust with that now ... Danso and Dragusin are not that kind of player.
 
That is actually the worst thing I have ever heard a manager say, let alone a Spurs manager.

is he seriously saying that 17th should be expected because it's impossible to be any better when in two cups? The fucking cunt.

I will actually dance with glee when he is sacked. I can't believe the gaslighting and shit he comes out with. By a distance the worst ever Spurs manager, and it's so very Spurs that he could end up winning a trophy. Mind you he will be in good company with Ramos and Graham.

Appalling odious gaslighting cunt.

That he has the gall to say that publicly, to mug us all off. Disgraceful prick.
 
I just want to get to the end of the season .

See us pick up silverware and mutually part company with Ange. I dont dislike him but fuck me pink, he has managed our league programme like Mike Bassett.

Best wishes all round and into a hopefully decent set up. A few ins and this squad would be decent under a Poch like manager.
 
Every season the expectation should be at least some version of a European campaign and of course the two domestic cups.

Not being able to handle that makes you a failure as a manager at this level plain and simple.

Basically admitting he isn’t good enough at this level to manage multiple competitions.

Therefore, imo, he should not be here next season, irrespective of what happens in the EL.

What an absolute odious fraud. I wish one journalist would just say, fuck it, and call him out on his utter self-serving nonsense.

I recall last season he was bemoaning the lack of games. The contradictions and excuses are endless.

Only one common denominator in this, mate. He'd better win next Wed or he'll be lynched come Brighton.
