Well, he was the solution to one 17 year old and 40 year old problem respectively:
And given that in his first Presser our latest manager said this:

I'd suggest De Zerbi thinks Postecoglou's style is the solution to the relegation fight brought upon us by the people who were wrong about pretty much everything

"Positivity Thread"... And then Bilboa. And Victory.
You sure mate.. technically the ECL is the greatest cup competition in European football so....technically just below the mighty RDM.
I get the logic of that but the circumstances are completely different. Di Matteo took over one of the best squads in Europe - Spurs have a very middling squad that overachieved in 23/24.
Also Di Matteo didn't have to endure an unprecedented injury crisis that took 4 of his starting Back 5 out for over 3 months.
So for me - that makes the whole "story" of the 24/25 season a completely different beast. Decent start; massive injury crisis; bleak January/February; Postecoglou doubling down on his "I always win things in my second season";
That is an insane ride with a nuts Hollywood ending - no one remembers Di Matteo at Chelsea but Postecoglou will be famous/infamous forever as this thread shows.
And yes there all sorts of questions about Postecoglou's ability as a manager but the events of this season prove beyond shadow of a doubt that the problems at Spurs go WAAYYY beyond just the "manager".
Thankfully De Zerbi is bringing back proper football and we may just get out of this mess.
And what to do with that?
Ange will always be a legend but not for the reasons you give....!!!Aston Villa: John McGinn wants team to become 'legends' by ending 30-year trophy drought with Europa League triumph
Aston Villa captain John McGinn wants his teammates to become legends at the club by ending the 30-year wait for a trophy; Villa booked their place in the Europa League final in Istanbul on May 20 with a 4-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Thursday to win 4-1 on aggregatewww.skysports.com
Seeing articles like this, and the general consensus around Villa fans being ecstatic to be in a final and potential European champions with slightly green eyes.
A portion of our fanbase and supporters WERE absolutely shameful during our period. Hell-bent on shitting on it or taking away from the achievement.
The run we had, the teams we beat and the obstacles overcame way outweigh those of Villa's this season.
True supporters will always have THAT night, and remember Ange for the person and manager he was - true Tottenham legend who was absurdly let go before his time.
The rest just have weak mentality and that's all it really comes down to at the end of the day.
Are Villa 17th in the league and absolutely wretched most every time out for 18 months? Seems just a small difference there.Aston Villa: John McGinn wants team to become 'legends' by ending 30-year trophy drought with Europa League triumph

We don't know where Villa would 've been if they were missing 11 players (4+ starters) most of the time.
After the injuries we've had this season completely hamstringing us and leaving us fighting relegation I must admit I do feel Postecoglou probably would have seen us finish at least midtable if everyone had been fit during his spell in charge. This probably would have seen him keep his job alongside the EL win. I loathed him at the time but after this season I'm a bit more forgiving. Why have our injuries exploded so much over the last two seasons though? Half our first team has been missing for over a year! Is it the medical staff or have we just been cursed?
Aston Villa have 20 more points and are 12 spots higher in the table than we were last year. They’ll qualify for CL with or without winning Europa.Aston Villa: John McGinn wants team to become 'legends' by ending 30-year trophy drought with Europa League triumph

And it didn't matter who was available, we were shite regardless
Villa spent courageously the past few seasons. We have not.
