It’s just perfunctory politeness and respect, nothing more. Anyone who imagines it to be any different is romanticizing.
Can see why it was done, however I believe the injury crisis has been glossed over as if not important at all. Fair to say he should have won more PL games, but I think all managers would have struggled with that many injuries to the most critical players at once.
For me the abuse he gets is a bit over the top and unsavory. It's also very cringy and awkward to hear supposed fans belittling the EL win. As if we usually win CLs every 2 years ffs.
I really liked how he stuck up for us defending us from the media agendas, I don't think we have had anyone defend us quite like that.
Will be interesting to see where he ends up next. As for us well we begin yet another cycle and hope for the best again. I hope we might break our wage structure and sign some real quality to raise the levels a bit. Imagine if we could bring in a Van De Vaart or Davids level now for Bergvall, Moore, Gray, Odobert, Yang etc to learn from. But we'll be fucking around over the compensation deal for Frank.
£10mil?
Hmmm
How about £1 million, and we'll build you a cheese room?

Now beyond doubt you're a troll.
I will always remember that Chelsea game , not because of the highline or the 2 sending offs or the 2 injuries .
But for the first 20 minutes of football , it was possibly the most beautiful 20 minutes of attacking football I've watched in my 64 years , how we didn't score I'll never know ,and if we had that's what it would have been remembered for because we would have gone on and won . Then possibly the whole narrative that now exists might not .
But yeah , that first 20 mins , magical .
Interesting read.

Harry7 makes way more sense when you realise the 7 stands for 7 years old.
This is the only part that has any real value:Interesting read.
Ange Postecoglou lived on edge — failure to listen pushed him over it

And while Postecoglou always had an explanation ready for a defeat or bad run, the contradictions caught up with him. He said the players would “adjust” physically to his methods, but in his second season the injuries were worse than ever. He said his high-risk approach would never change, but success in the Europa League owed more to the Ange-wall than Ange-ball. Why was that pragmatism embraced in Europe but ignored to his cost in the Premier League? He warned against the idea of one trophy being a “holy grail” for Tottenham but before the final said winning in Bilbao could be a definitive moment. He said he loved the tough times when his methods were questioned but when those questions came in the aftermath of defeats, he regularly refused to answer them.
The rest is mainly arse-licking nonsense.
Or his IQ score
Whenever a question is seriously being asked and there's such reply...
That's why the toxicity and division of posts here. Anyway, doesn't matter any more.
The list of self inflicted injuries beggars belief.
I believe that Levy interviewed the physios either individually or as a group when the injury list was at it's height in order to discover exactly what was happening.
He would have gleaned enough to understand that their advice was not being taken seriously by Ange and this would result on what unfolded. A smaller squad, full of inexperience hampered by a manager who wouldn't listen to professional medocal advice.
I truly think this figured in Levy's decision, i mean why run the risk another repeat of this next season?
Over the years some fans are really more used to siting top 6 than winning. For those who think why can't we have both, they haven't really understood how Levy operates.Pretty funny, oh well I would've preferred winning more stuff but here's to being trophyless and aiming for 6th again
Good article on the BBC Sport website about why Spurs let Postecoglou go. Ange Postecoglou sacked: Why Tottenham parted with Australian after Europa League triumph. I had also seen an ESPN report that talked about players going to Postecoglou mid-season and asking him to make changes in the system. I think the problem came down to a system that just didn't work out for the league games.
Everything's well until the appalling last sentence. These lads are a proper bunch and respectful of the club and fans. Stop bringing down whosoever that's close to Ange. At least they are grateful to him, unlike some fans.
maybe I’m in the minority, but I feel we won the Europa in spite of him, rather than because. In the cold light of day, we were big favourites to win the tournament at the beginning and we did just that!
I think the timing of his exit is perfect! I doubt he could top what he has already achieved and next season if we started poor all the memories of him confronting fans, cupping his ear, never changing up the team which resulted in injuries will all come flooding back.
When we played the top sides we are beaten tactically and with CL football there will be no easy games what so ever

What's that got to do with Ange's style of football sucking balls??
I've continually commended them on surmounting his inadequacies to bring the cup home.
That post isn't about them - it's about HIM.
Which is why I capitalised HIM.
I hadn’t heard of that one- if u have a link that’d be great to check out.
He piloted our side to 17th in the Prem. Is that the result of superior motivational skills?
Unfortunately Frank has no experience in CL, not even Europe. And yes, back to top 6-8 with no trophies.
