Manager Ange Postecoglou

My post proven right, was it not?
‘Would be the best thing to happen to Tottenham since Pochettino coming close’
And yes, as a fan of football, I took notice of Ange 14 years ago when he won league titles with Brisbane Roar, he stood out as a special manager (and person) to me then, so watching the journey has been great entertainment.
It simply is not the case that Ange always plays his favorites through poor form. He benched Maddison, he benched Bissouma, he benched Udogie, to the extent he's had the available fit depth to make changes to his squad (which is his ACTUAL problem) he's done so.
Like, you're just flatly wrong, but the discourse here has gotten to the point that any lazy narrative that ever applies to criticize any manager is now being thrown at Ange because he's Mister Stupid Idiot Guy and we've completely stopped thinking rationally around here.
Doesn't make me look smart.
Just right.
This time a year ago I was happy to be wrong.
22 league defeats later and I could hardly even raise a smile at a win in a tournament containing a list of wifi passwords.
But you weren't a SPURS fan until he came here?
clearly your great wisdom is being wasted here. maybe start a newsletter to spread the good word
serious question, will you fuck off when ange does?
From this thread, absolutely.
i'm not gonna lie, him staying will break me and my love for this club. not saying i'll walk away but i'll need a break from the toxicity he brings. i'm very worried that he's going to break us
but you'll still support tottenham? you won't be angry at us for letting your mate down?
17th or 6th - what's the difference? £33.4 million is the difference or 2 NFL games and 1 Beyonce concert... but what 6th didn't get you is the opportunity to play Champions League football by winning the Europa League but I'm guessing 6th, no trophy and Europa League qualification is you're preferred option. With our depleted squad, Ange made a decision. He felt that we couldn't fight on all fronts so he cut his cloth and it paid off. I saw someone, maybe it was you argue that Newcastle did both. Won a trophy and finished in the Champions League place. They did do exactly that, but they did it without having to play European football so they had no tough decisions to make on what to sacrifice so it's not a true reflection. Look at the year before... Newcastle played Champions League and finished bottom of their group, finished 7th in the league and didn't make it past the QF of both domestic cups largely due to the fact Eddie Howe tried to prioritise the Champions League but by doing that, their early league form suffered. My guess is that you think that is a good season.

What if that is the plan? Another wasted season means Levy doesn’t have to seriously back a manager with cash?
Did he really make that decision though?
I remember him rushing back both VDV and Romero just for them to get injured. And that was for a league game.
It seems more like a story he constructed afterwards. And the reason we lost 22 games was not because of a depleted squad. It was because of really poor game plans.
I think there should be a post Ange thread, content should be fave memories, quotes, pics, content etc...would be great to share stories of the big man
Perhaps if Ange wasn't such an arsehole and didn't use so many excuses as to why the team lost he would get a bit more leeway from some of us but, he doesn't does he.
Right, now show poch's league positions for those season's - not once was he 17th!!
I can't believe you're comparing an actual manager with the current incumbent

Next season will be a fucking disaster if he stays.
A small part of me wants it to happen just so all the absolute clowns who think Ange should get a third season are actually shown how clueless they are when it continues to go tits up.
Will be fascinating to see what excuses they come out with this time.
But that still isn't enough for me to want him to stay. He has to go.
We really need to hear a decision this week. Transfers are well underway and we don't even know who our manager is going to be.
If we are unsure you can bet players and agents are too.
I reckon if Ange isn't gone in the next 10 days, he is here for next season unfortunately.
The club have had pretty much all of last season, at the very minimum since Xmas, for them to have realised Ange was a blagger way out of his depth so a plan should have been in place to get rid of him and hire a replacement. I would have thought we would have had our ducks in a row on making changes as soon as the season finished or at least soon after.
I guess it is still early June, so we shouldn't panic just yet. But I don't see why there should be so much of a delay in gettign rid of him.
Maybe they are just waiting for Ange to get back from holiday. I just really hope there is a plan in place on hiring a replacement, and it isn't a case where Levy still doesn't have a clue what he's doing or he's decided that Ange is getting a third season.
All the noise from journalists seem to be he is going to leave. They are likely guessing, but at least they are guessing he is going.
I just have a really horrible feeling that we will get breaking news from a prominent journo in the next few days which will say "exclusive: Ange stays at Spurs. Levy has promised him full backing in the transfer market, and recognises injuries and difficulties last season were out of Ange's control".
