Those 1st games were just "new manager "bounce" clearly...then he put his stamp on the club...
If he's back next season, it will be the same thing but without those 10 games...

My concern is that he's had a decent first 10 games in both his seasons (well, W5, L4, D1 this season*) which is enough time to give the impression that things could work out, and yet too long to get another decent candidate in probably


*scarily enough that's 16 points from 10 games, which seems a bit crap but we only got 22 points from the 28 games that came after it. So this season, 42% of our points were in the first 10 games!

In both cases he rapidly burned through the players fitness and that will be WAY worse next year with the CL challenge.

All this "comprehensive review of the medical practices" stuff needs a very clear answer about how we're going to maintain legs that work, and if Ange's methods won't harmonize with that, get rid.

I wish I had more confidence in the club leadership to get that right. One "comprehensive review" flows into the next with Levy.

There has to be something in it. There's a pattern in there somewhere.

It seemed crazy so I asked Gemini, which confirmed

(42 points/104 total points)∗100%≈40.38%

Approximately 40.38% of Tottenham's total Premier League points over the 2024/25 and 2023/24 seasons came from the first 10 games of each season.

What position did you have to defend in the first place you clown, you're the one trying to spin the argument in your favour :harrylol:

And you're the one who started this condescending bullshit, not me.

Good thing you've put me on ignore, at least now you won't have to tie yourself in knots going forward. :thumbup:

You really think you’re capable of getting someone to tie themselves in knots?!

:dembelelol:

Don’t flatter yourself! You just make yourself look even more foolish!

:ange-facepalm:
 
Need to make a decision quickly about whether to keep Ange and then get on with the business of securing some decent new signings. We are already playing catch up with Woolwich, Chelsea etc being quick off the mark in this transfer window and any more procrastination will eventually likely result in us paying over the odds for the dross that is left over as all the quality will have been signed up. Don’t want to be spending 60 mill a piece on this season’s equivalent of Johnson, Richy and Solanke

I could be wrong, but I reckon the decision has long been made, it’s just the communicating of it that’s been delayed.

Probably to let the cup euphoria die down.

And that should be ringing alarm bells in Levy’s bald head...

I can totally get why the players love him, he does seem to be good at the motivational speeches. I get that. It's just most of the time on the pitch though they just don't look like they know what to do or how.

I can see they'd be willing to run through walls for him, but it's just not enough on its own is it?

Doing something utterly shit but doing it at 100mph doesn't make it better.

The players feelings are a consideration of course, but it doesn't trump losing 58% of our matches in a league season.

Not sure about motivationsl speeches. In all the NLDs we have come out in a coma. Numerous games where hardly look at it. Then in some games like Brighton away we are abysmal.

I don't think any big talents will come here whilst AP is here. Or Levy for that matter. We must be Brighton like and hunt down great young talent...I don't see any game changers or big names wanting to come here atm...
I can remember when players were champing at the bit to join Spurs or one of the other big clubs...
