Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Celtic fans are saying he had been the best manager in years and let's face it ,they win nearly everything anyway so there must be a reason to say it.
I'd imagine it's the attacking style they like.
Either way I wasn't overwhelmed by the link but I'm sold on the style of play and he'll get my support.

I am willing to give Ange a chance even if he is possibly a fudge as the best we could get , rather than the best available. I think a fair few of us Levy is a plank posters are the same , however some of the Levy is a rock star crew talking about Ange as a massive coup , the real deal and we are lucky to have him are as usual just being ridiculous

Levy is a cunt (can you say that in this place?).

But we have lucked out here. Good fortune rather than good management by Levy I would say.

Udogie was sent straight on loan.
Conte never even met him but you want to count that as money spent on his squad?

Conte didn’t have a choice with Spence.

It’s not difficult.

Between the club and coach there was no alignment. That’s bad structure

You're hilarious, you've just ignored everything I've just said. 🤣

I'll ask you a simple question, if you don't count the money spent on Udogie for Conte then who do you count it for, Ange?
 
Be interesting to see who what players named in our last pochetinno squad survive to the first squad of Posties.

Down to the last 4 or 5 maybe?
A surprise return for the Tanguy on the cards???

Like signing a new player!!!! (

O'Keefe who's pretty clued up believes we are looking to get rid of plenty this summer by any feasible option and believes if we can't find buyers for high earners like Lloris and Perisic then it's likely we just release them from their contracts (In the same way we did to Doherty)

Lloris and Perisic are on about 170k a week each. Fucking them both off ASAP would be pretty smart

From looking to get rid to actually getting rid can be quite a giant leap. I'm sure it's in the ballpark of from, discussing to swoop in on a player, to have him sign the papers. If we pay them off and make them free agents I'm sure we can release a few, but those that are happy on the bench with the inflated Premier League pay, I'm not so sure they will want to move. It's going to be a fostering summer for Levy.

Hello, long time lurker, now new member from Down Under. Reading this thread is hilarious and is so similar to Talk Celtic's Ange thread when he signed. You should have a read and see how that turned out. You have absolutely lucked it in on an uncut gem that is just being discovered. Ange is an absolute football purist, student of the game and believes in beautiful attacking football. You're going to have some heart in mouth moments, but it'll be worth the ride. As for those deriding his CV, beside the obvious club spells he has also been through 2 WC campaigns. As for his knowledge on the player market, any Aussie National Team manager gets a good understanding of world football because our players are scattered all over the globe. All I ask of you all is to have an open mind, don't be EPL snobs and just give him a chance. Oh, and you will love his press conferences. Doesn't suffer fools gladly and hates the fucking media.

Missing out on the revenue for European football means something. It isn't a game changer unless you miss out two or three seasons in a row, but Levy isn't the type to lose money in one place without trying to save it somewhere else. He'll save money on the managerial appointment and staff, probably look to replace some experienced players with Pacific imports, and even more so than in the past try to drive hard bargains in the transfer market. What it means with regard to Kane is anyone's guess, but I'm not optimistic. The future will look a lot more like Brighton and a lot less like a top six club, with a touch of Bielsa as manager.

And what I don't understand are the fans who lap this up. We demolished white Hart lane to build the megadome entertainment complex, charge fans the highest priced in the world, then tell them to be excited because the future is... Brighton.

I'm sure Ange is a good bloke, I hope he is a great manager. But let's be frank, Levy has stumbled into this appointment after missing out on others and after overseeing a cluster fuck under the previous 3 managers. This isn't some carefully curated plan, it is a wing and a prayer.

I hope we win the domestic treble next year playing amazing football. But I do not understand the blind optimism being shown by a lot of people.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. But do not let Daniel Levy off the hook for allowing the squad we had under peak Poch to rot away to today's shambles.

Just remember who is to blame if Ange struggles with these players and any substandard recruitment we might make (would you like a Danjuma sir? How about a Lenglet?)
 
Just listened to Gold's broadcast about our new manager. As usual he's disgustingly optimistic (doesn't he know this is Spurs!) about the appointment. You'd think Gold would allow for the shit-show of the last 23 years? My take on it is sure I'll back him and give him a chance to succeed, but as per usual Levy is always the spanner in the works, what will change this time around?
The ONLY way a manager/coach can be allowed to be successful at our joke of a club is if Levy changes his spots and steps back ENTIRELY from footballing matters. I'm clinging on to the slender chance that Scott Munn is given total control of the football side and that in turn Levy issues him a budget for each transfer window and stays away from any decisions relating to that fund. Surely Levy understands that his footballing input has resulted in our current trajectory of dropping like a stone in the league, not to mention never winning anything. He has smothered the club half to death.
If the narcissistic Levy can't do that then it won't matter who the manager is as we shall always be doomed to failure. We shall see.
