Total bollocks.

Why can't the club do both?

When was the last time United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Woolwich and the like won a Trophy and finished 17th?

Bullshit to suggest that the Club only want a top four finish, they gave Age 400 million quid in transfer money, and a huge contract to deliver both.

He failed miserably on one.

He's gone, get over yourself.

How much was England's squad worth that played against Andorra?

The price paid for players and their "worth" are two different things, especially when expensive young players are valued not on current ability, but what they could become at some point in the future.

As I said elsewhere it will be interesting how Frank manages the 4 comps he is in, and what results he has across all of them.
 
Conspiracy theory #453: THFC waited 2 weeks after EL win to dismiss Ange and dismissed him 2 years to the day of his joining in order to reduce his compensation payout from 3 years to 2 years.

Nothing surprising about the cunt Levy anymore. He's perfectly capable of doing that. Makes no sense he didn't sack Ange when we were already tumbling down the table at Feb if he's so fucking concern about the league standings. He had another opportunity at mid March to fire him during the international break.

And by then Levyout was already at it's peak. He wouldn't care for the Europa win as I didn't think he expected it at all and was just waiting to cut his compensation at the lowest now even with the cup win. He's just a fucking shameless coward.

Sickening.

This has revealed a real peculiarity within us as fans and my only hope is that once we get back to being a semblance of being a conpetetitive team, it casts to one side all this skewed garbage.

22 fcuking defeats in one season let alone 2 s shameful, whatever else is delivered. Shameful.

Probably shouldn't expect any better from someone named "kulufc" on twitter

Our fans worship mediocrity

The bigger picture is winning, not failing to win constantly to no end. And we’re not talking a few seasons there, we’re talking a track record of failure over a multiple decade period before lucking onto Postecoglou.

The bigger picture is losing the club’s best ever player and in the next two seasons qualifying for a European competition and then winning that competition for the first time in over 40 years. That’s nothing if not progress. Fretting over finishing 17th or conceding a meaningless number of goals is the literal opposite of the bigger picture.

Face it, you’re the exact type of supporter who feeds the Levy machine and keeps him satiated. Not simply accepting of mediocrity, but actively demanding it. Repeat it with me: Finishing 4th-6th isn’t a trophy!

These guys didn’t have to sit and watch 22 league games from the stands, it’s alright dipping in and out of watching us when you’re sat on your sofa. Fans pay an extortionate amount of money to watch Spurs home and away and 17th is just unacceptable.

If VDV doesn’t make that goal line clearance then everyone would be Ange out because United were peppering us for 45 minutes straight and I’m sure if they equalised they would’ve gone on to win it. Football is fine margins I know but everyone needs to look at the bigger picture. We were conceding the same goals over and over again and there is no way Ange would’ve been able be to juggle the UCL and prem next season. For me it’s the right decision and he can leave on a high after giving some of us fans our greatest Spurs supporting moment in our lives. Rather that than we sack him next season and it getting nasty. We’ve got a clean slate now where we can get a manager in with a full pre season and a few players that he wants and hopefully start with a bang. Thank you for everything Ange.

been trying to make this point for months

armchair fans can check out of a game after 5 mins and find a stream where a hated team might lose

how many home PL wins did we get after 3rd Novmeber?

MUFC;
Saints:

and that's it.

but yeah the Ange fanbois all for giving this guy another season. Peeps turned by the EL win "yeah give him till Xmas"

fuck me

I checked out after the Ips debacle. Agreed to go to LFC as had mates from broad over that w/e and we all went.

carried on going to cups but it was as clear as day to me that the league was going to be diabolical

a run of 14 home matches
2 wins

Levy shouldve binned him December to get a caretaker in.
 
Ultimately he needed to go but the guy is clearly not even close to being anything that some of you manchildren have called him and has not deserved to be called the names he has.

The people who actually know him, his character, have spent every single day working with him pretty much unanimously only had positive things to say and the way some of you speak about him is embarrassing beyond belief.

You should all look yourself in the mirror and really consider who the actual cunts are in this situation because im telling you, by all accounts, its not Ange.

Son has described Ange Postecoglou as "a Tottenham Hotspur legend". But realistically, Postecoglou is no more a Spurs legend than Juande Ramos after the League Cup win in 2008. Is Ramos "a Tottenham Hotspur legend"? There have been much better Spurs managers than Postecoglou and Ramos but who never won anything. David Pleat, Martin Jol, Harry Redknapp, most of all Mauricio Pochettino.
