Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He did. Absolutely he did.

But recently, has he shown signs of learning? I'd say yes, he has. That scrappy 1-0 the other night might have been quite significant.

I thought that after the Frankfurt game but it didn’t happen again until the other night.

Maybe a new coaching outfit will be installed?
That’s essential imv

Would be nice to be put in the loop!
 
Jesus Christ. Can't you see through his bullshit? The Europa League was the only thing left he had to salvage the worst season in decades. It wasn't by design, it was a direct result of his incompetence.

I can assure you the plan very much last summer was to fight for top 4. Ange shat the bed horrifically and once we got to March and April, he had to go all in on the Europa, otherwise he'd have gone down in history as the worst manager we've ever seen.

The bloke is the biggest bullshitter I've ever seen. And some Spurs fans lap it up.

21 league defeats, and people want to give him another season. Batshit mental. Winning that final will have no bearing on how we will perform in the league next season, it will be more of the same shite. We've been absolutely rudderless, uncoached and appalling. It won't change.

If fourth was the plan last summer with this squad then the entire club was smoking something really good.

Can't you see the squad at the start of the season was woefully shallow in talent and experience? When the injuires came even less so. You're not getting fourth with Archie Gray and Ben Davies as you two CB's my friend and Brain fart Bissouma screening them.

If there are no serious recruits coming in, no way is this squad getting fourth next season not matter who manages

Really? Were they smoking the same thing that has Nuno's Forest challenging for the CL places on the last day?

I do not buy this that we had no chance of top 4. We only had no chance because of Ange. If we had the right manager in charge this squad could absolutely challenge for the CL places through the league.

Ange has normalised losing every single week in the league, so please forgive me if I'm not going all deluded and wanting to waste another season with him.

Fair play to him for Wednesday night, but I still think he's an absolute blagger and out of his depth in the PL.
 
I honestly think, 4 legit starting quality players takes us to levels I don’t want to say because it’s not the time to start upsetting the melts yet.

RW: Mbuemo, Cherki
AM: Eze, Cherki, Paz,
6/8: Cardoso, Palinha
LCB/LB: Hincapie

None of those are impossible to do.

Then you need to make decisions on who you replace in the squad if they leave like Richy, Son, Biss/Bent. Romero has to stay
Yeah all doable but mind this is Levy ffs he’s previous for dragging his heels and letting the players we need go somewhere else
 
I'm asking Ange haters the question, so there is an expectation set.

For me top 7 and making a semi or final in a domestic cup should be enough to keep him around another season. It shows improvement in league whilst still being able to compete in cups. He will likely exceed this is we stay healthier than this year and make a few astute transfers.
That's what I'm afraid of, a long run of underachievement punctuated by an occasional cup run. You won't ever see Spurs challenging for the top spots, but you're supposed to be happy because you have Sideshow Ange.

His past record suggests that he does not bullshit and he apparently he has the dressing room!
If he was bullshitting that would not be the case!
When you get your coaching credentials then maybe you can offer constructive comment not the baseless crap you are serving up at the moment!
 
Been reading the players and board are split with Ange. Imo thats not unanimous. Also losing to gooners and chelsea consecutively is hard to forget imo. Pre-season is key as well building up players, coaching and developing. As winning europa is starting to sink imo i think he needs to go. Amicable on both sides. Next year both tuchel and poch will be available. My picks for new manager next season are iraola or de zerbi.
 
he told us he goes out to win every game, but now he says he sacked off the league in Feb to focus on EL
he told us he won't change and in the league he hasn't yet in EL we all see he changed, So why didn't he change in the league (rest players but play more defensive) we would have picked up more points, yes only got to around 10th (but thats a lot better then losing 21 games and finishing 17th)
Lol yeah cos coming out in Feb and telling everyone that he's not bothering with the League and he'll win the Europa instead would have been met with love and hugs on here.

We all knew it the last few months though. We saw the line ups. Everyone knew he was going for balls deep for the European glory.

Fair play to him.

And it's why I don't put a massive stock in the 21 defeats argument. It's awful yeah but the last two months we've been saving our best team for Europe.

He can't do that next season and so he needs a better squad. The summer is crucial.

The past season of near Relegation is proof enough Angie is a fluke

Nuno has over-achived playing reactive football with a mostly-fit squad.

I do not buy this that we had no chance of top 4. We only had no chance because of Ange. If we had the right manager in charge this squad could absolutely challenge for the CL places through the league.

Not with the players that were available.

He's a winner, that's what he does, everyhere he goes. He's won on three different continents. Its a fact.

You guys are insanely delusional if you seriously think Ange purposefully sacked off the league to focus on europa.

We have been horrendous in the league since November 2023, he’s using the Europa run as an excuse for the league last season. He was the same person who said the previous year he was against finishing 10th and just winning a cup as it didn’t show true signs of progression. He’s bullshitting you lol.

I’ll be forever grateful of ange for these past few days, but this revisionism is insane, this wasnt some genius plan to win europa and tank the league. Also beating utd for a 4th time this season isn’t going to suddenly make us consistent in the prem next year or make ange suddenly able to balance Europe and the prem next year. Our problems remain we now just have the trophy burden off our backs.
 
It could never be spun that way.
He was told to change the way we play when he was appointed. So, he is just obeying orders.
That was then, this is now!

Things can change considerably in two years.

If the board are considering retaining Ange there’s bound to be a discussion about how things move forward and there may genuinely be a conflict in those views eg if board want to change back room staff.
