Heard maddison backing Ange. All due respect maddison got relegated with leicester. Im just not confident with Ange in charge next season. Tbh if were letting Mason go and new CEO arriving with paratici. I think there will be a change for next season.
Maddison is another conundrum altogether. A new gaffer. A new start over. A make or break season for him to show he is the world class playmaker he thinks he is. It could happen!
 
Again, I don't see how that's much different from the season we have just had. Ange was allowed to redeem himself; Jose was not.

But he hasn’t redeemed himself

Great that we won the Europa etc but he’s never going to be able to handle the EPL!
That much should be obvious!

Let him enjoy his holiday etc but I hope that he’s already been told and tbh I think he’s aware!
 
Injury Crisis - caused by Ange 'its who we are mate!'
Both also beat better teams in their respective finals than we did. You have to ask yourself how hard was it to beat 15th place Man utd as opposed to champions Liverpool and top 5 Man City
A lot of people conveniently forget that we beat peak-Abramovic Chelsea to win the 2008 Carling Cup when they dismiss it as a "Mickey Mouse" trophy. And that was a full strength team including Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Cech and Essien.

Trix on SC said this morning that

Fwiu and posted back of house on Sunday, my man still thinks he will go.

From the conversations I have had it looks to me like some don't think he should stay at all, others aren't sure, but no one of significance is out and out fighting his corner.

It's all appears to be very complicated, and I don' think it's looking good for him personally. The club also has to look at far more than just the trophy. He has the squad on his side, and also a vocal section of the fan base, but fwiu Paratici wants someone in line with his way of thinking and working, and wants to literally upgrade everything back of house, just as he did with academy. Add to this Sponsors have been pissed off for months(although they can't have been unhappy with the cup and subsequent CL qualification), season ticket sales are down, and the squad shape is a real mess. He's now saying he wants to recruit a bunch of experienced players for next season but had agreed last season to use a conveyor belt approach and the two ideologies won't meet in the middle unfortunately.


I don't know where we go from here because good will is in short supply from the fans to Levy so how much he will want to upset the apple cart is anyone's guess, but if Paratici does get the autonomy he has been negotiating for months to get, Ange will go imo.

I must add all this was heard prior to any meeting that supposedly took place with Ange and Daniel on Sunday evening. So if that happened, and things changed at that point I don't know.


Also worth adding that Ally Gold said there was no meeting on Sunday between Levy and Ange. So if the above is accurate. And to me it does make logical sense. I think Ange is gone.

I reckon Levy is waiting for the Cup win glow to dimmer a bit before we say goodbye to Ange. He was never sacking him immediately after the season ended. Not when we won a trophy last week.

Plus he isn’t going to sack Ange when he’s in holiday. I think Ange will go once Vinai and Paratici are on board. They start 1st July apparently. Then Levy can avoid the fans blowback by making out the decision to get rid of Ange is Vinai’s and Fabs.

The more I think about it the more I’ll be amazed if Ange is kept on. The league form has been horrendous. He should have been sacked several times over.
The most worrying thing if this was true is that Levy can’t see that we desperately need some experienced peak age players this summer to have a chance in 4 comps.
 
He'll go down as a legend for the Europa

But this guy cannot be allowed to take us into next season

He couldn't manage Prem and Europa , how the hell is he going to manage Prem and champions league ?

It will be injuries every week again , he'll have us in a relegation battle and we'll be counting on three woeful sides to bail us out
 
Of course the players are fine with fat face

They lost 22 games in a season and was told it was outstanding

Alex Ferguson would be throwing tea cups into their faces
if they do genuinely like him its because they have it easy, which is a worrying indictment on their character.

if hes sending teenagers onto cup finals with no instructions then you can only imagine what else is being neglected.

So basically a load of bollocks then.
 
How Embarrassing for Tottenham Hotspurs FC front office they can't manage a team successfully as some American hollyweird actor now leading a minor club upwards two levels 🥸

Paraciti appealed his original worldwide ban.

Paratici has appealed the ruling and has seen his punishment partially reduced. While he is still banned from entering dressing rooms and negotiating with players or agents, he is now free to attend training sessions and perform administrative work behind the scenes.

"FIFA has upheld the appeal presented by Fabio Paratici against the provision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee which, in extending the temporary inhibition imposed by the FIGC worldwide, extended it to a ban on taking part in any activity linked to football," a statement from Paratici's legal team read.

Paraciti has been seen at Spurs matches etc and no doubt talks to Levy and other senior figures at Spurs. So no reason why he hasn't given Levy advice on Ange in advance of him returning to full time duties on 1 July which is when he can once again talk to players and agents.

Very few players are signed at the start of a transfer window, and I'm sure Lange and others will be talking/negotiating with a number of players in certain positions that Spurs might want - its usual to talk to maybe half a dozen players for each position. So Spurs are not particularly wasting time in transfer market, particularly with a lot of players (and managers) taking their 3 week break after the end of the season.

If the decision is to keep Ange, there is no need to make an announcement and we'll probably find out when a player says he signed for Spurs after talking to Ange or Ange appoints additional coaches or club announcements talk about Ange involvement in preseason planning or similar - Ange had a 4 year contract, so 2 years still to run.

If the decision is to appoint an alternative coach, it wouldn't surprise me if buzz about winning EL is allowed to die down a little so maybe an announcement of a new coach and Ange going in 2nd or 3rd weeks of June.

So I'm not expecting any news immediately.

Legend? Bollocks to that.

Is Ramos or Graham a legend? He won a trophy, that’s nice. He’ll be remembered for doing next to fuck all apart from that.
