I love Robbie, but he’s had some strange takes when I’ve seen him doing punditry so I wouldn’t hold much store in his opinion!

“Idiotic and Borderline theft” Seriously? Fuck off you gooner twat
On the basis that every team at the start of the season is technically in the title race, then obviously you will be correct.
If you are saying that you believe Spurs will be realistically in with a shot of winning the title, with say being within 6 points of the lead with 10 matches to go with Ange in charge of us, then I will wager you any amount of money you like that won’t happen.
The higher ups at the club must have been informed and agreed to it, I would think. I know Postecoglou said it was his decision to focus on Europa rather than the league but I doubt he can decide that when the prize money for the Premier League goes up by about £3m per position upwards.
A player, especially one as erratic as Romero, can’t dictate the club’s direction.
If we keep Ange I ask myself what will change? And why?
He's not dictating anything. The club is dictating his decision.
For me it's really simple, there isn't a coach on the market that I'm sure enough about to lose Romero for and it's not certain enough for me that the manager and squad CAN'T build from this EL win.
Sport isn't always as logical as people make out. Belief is much more powerful than fans and media realize for elite athletes. They have all reached a level that millions dream of and to do that, they had to rely on an irrational amount of self belief. Now that self belief in this squad is connected to winning and also connected to this manager.
You have to be brave enough to let that succeed or fail after the EL. You can't just cut it short, unless you want to go straight back to being a nothing club that wins nothing but occasionally outperforms it's wages in the league.
I keep Ange and Romero and see what next season looks like. Iraola, Frank, Silva or whatever...all those guys are still there if we want them in December and if they aren't there, will be another one just like them. There is always a manager like those guys in the PL.
Of course he is. He’s saying if Postecoglou is removed I’ll look to move on. If it’s not just journo BS, then what is he trying to do other than influence the club’s decision?
What if we were potentially to get an Argentinian coach?
He's not coming until after the WC next summer but if he came in now after we won a major trophy, when we couldn't with him, he'd be on a hiding to nothing. Giving Ange the chance to have a crack what he's earned also makes more sense for any Poch return too.
It's about the glory innit
End of the day, the club will decide if he's sold or not.
What it COULD BE is that Cuti's team have heard that Ange is going and they are using it preemptively as a excuse for him to push for a move without damaging his rep and relationship with the fans.
Losing every game isn’t glorious.
Don’t get people all excited like that.
As if. According to the majority on here, I lost all credibility for not being Ange out early enough. Surely my wild stabs in the dark aren't suddenly credible now because people would like them to be true?
Winning Finals is tho
it can be mate, your perspective on football and life in general just needs adjusting
