I keep hearing about this nonsense, why can't Harry Kane play that way? What does he have an anti press clause in his contract or something?

Because he won’t sprint. He doesn’t work hard when we don’t have the ball. He’s always half hearted when he closed players down. Same with sonny. We are the easiest team to play through our press although I can’t actually call it that.

One of the things I always loved about being a Spurs supporter is our fanbse. The difference between Woolwich and us has always been so vast. That isn't the case now, I genuinely see no difference and I hate it and I'm embarrassed by it.

I know absolutely nothing about Ange other than what I am reading and viewing, I've never seen a single game of any of his sides play, which means I can't comment on whether he's good or bad. From what I'm reading and what I've heard (youtube etc) he would appear to be bloody brilliant with the media. There is a huge amount written about how his team play and it all sounds great. The only doubt is whether it's transferable to a PL team, but a coach is a coach and if he's been able to coach other players then surely he can coach our player, so surely there's a chance that it is transferable. And wouldn't it also be fair to say that his job is made easier because he will be coaching better players than he has ever coached in his life?


In any event, the more I see this kind of shit from our fanbase, the more I want him. I wanna go back and ram their nonsense back down their throats.

Exactly how I feel. This whole managerless situation has brought out the worst in our lot. Can’t wait till we can get back slating our shit players 🤣

Unfortunately, and I'm also embarrassed to admit it, but this is spot on.

We are Woolwich lite.

Any success and the transformation will be complete.

You're taking 2+2 and making it 6.

As I said to another poster, this is the kind of reasoning that leads journos to post the garbage they do and that we all deride. I believe you're a more thoughtful person than that.

I’m hoping I’m wrong and it doesn’t end up like that.

Ideally, they get a Sports director in that will work well with the new coach and the new coach will want to work with that sports director.

Or they have already promoted one of Hansel and Greta to the Sports Director role and that's who is guiding them on football policy.

That doesn't mean he cannot do it, I've actually seen him break into sprints to chase the ball down and he actually does it more for England, we just haven't had the managers who require him to do it relentlessly for the past 4/5 years including the latter years of Poch ball.

Pep didn't tell Man City to go all out on a striker who is unable to press from the front.
 
Has Ange Postecoglou even been offered the job or been talked to. The fact is this seems exactly like the Slot situation and Ange could sign a new contract without us ever speaking to him. The fact is the only thing I have heard is directly from the man where he states he has not spoken to Spurs.

It’s interesting there’s a thread on red cafe about Postacoglu (to Spurs) and they all seem to think he’d be a fantastic appointment for us

maybe it’s easier to think that when it’s not your club. For example, if it was Ange to Fulham, Everton Etc I think a lot more of us would say ‘that’s a good appointment for them’ etc

Appreciate ambitions differ I get that. Just interesting to see alternative fans perspective

He's a Palace level manager.

If we were getting Nagelsmann other clubs might be worried. Get in Ange and nobody will be....apart from Spurs fans!

I’ve seen him do it but now he just doesn’t. There’s times when I’ve been screaming for him to do it and people around me look at me as if he shouldn’t have to or I’m not allowed to say anything about him being lazy. We as a team plod about the pitch and it’s horrible to watch. Whoever we get in must get them going after teams with a bit of purpose and that includes Kane or we will just have to sit off teams and counter attack and as we all know,that has bored the fucking life out of us for 3 years
