Theres nothing wrong with his overall comments about the culture of the club needing to change etc

But it all feels like this is being directed at the fanbase more than the board who are the ones with actual power to change things.

This whole last 48hours nonsense, where has this anger been the last 4 months? Where was this anger after the Woolwich game ? The whole ground was up for that game at kick off but we concede 3 of the shittest goals you’re going to see before half time.

The fans are a major problem with this club, more so than the board IMO

I can't believe how out of touch he's been over these few days.

"I just don't care, I just want to win".

You do know this is probably the most fierce rivalry in English football right?

It’s nothing compared to the rivalry he has just come from. The man wants to win leagues here and be successful but the usual negative minority would rather hound him out and blame it all on Levy than actually support Ange in the pursuit of success
 
No issue with anything Ange has said here - seems a straight shooter and wants to win games. He’s a professional football manager so why should anyone expect any different?

Far more concerned by our drop off at the back end of the season and not sure if he has the answers to that.

It's a very strange line he's taking.

Conte earned the right to call us pricks. As had Jose.

This guy, not so much.

If you do not understand Spurs Woolwich you don't just not understand us, you don't understand the Premier League in general.

"I don't see fourth as the prize," said the Spurs boss. "I don't want to finish fourth if we haven't grown as a team." this man said this just a few months back, now he's suddenly upset we didn't get 4th? Where was this anger a few weeks back?

As far as I am aware, we haven't grown as a team have we? Did I miss the memo?

I think he's deflecting with the "last 48 hours" nonsense and making a real fool of himself now whenever he steps in front of the press.

Funny how he hints at both "inside and outside" the club, so basically he's upset with everyone now because of what exactly? Has Levy told him he won't be getting backing in the summer? Or is he just upset because people both inside the club and the supporters outside didn't want the scum to win the league?

He was given this job off the back of Celtic, he isn't doing us a favour by being here, he should use one of his motivational speeches on himself and get on with his job and improve the team for next season.

Although let's face it, the way that press conference went, he likely won't be here anyway.

Yeah but Ange meant the fans and Conte meant the board, obviously mate...

Seriously its so funny when people try to blame a "culture" at the club on fans. Wherever you go fans are more or less the same, they're influenced by what their team achieve/how they perform. Us all suddenly becoming RAWK level delusional would not make us play any better or less likely to bottle situations.

If there's a culture issue at the heart of the club then that is fully down to the board who have overseen that culture for years.

This is a tangent, but the fact that any Spurs fan would use the word Spursy without irony drives me crazy. It shows a weakness and desperation to appease rival fans that I just can't get behind.

Also, I'm yet to see a legit definition of the word. Does it mean when we play well and fall short? Does it mean we're just shit? Does it mean when we throw something away? Does it just mean when something doesn't go in our favour due to bad luck? It's just a silly word that changes to suit whatever agenda the user has.

It's a gooner wank word that the media love throwing about because they are infested with plastics who jumped on the hype train 20 years ago.

Heard that shit from Poch as well. End of the day a winning culture has fuck all to do with the fans or even the players currently at the club. It’s a combination of finances, ambition and intelligence that starts from the board and works its way down.

City fan the ones who don’t turn up at CL games, Arse fans the ones who all leave on 70 mins in a title race while playing Villa. There is fuck all winning culture in their fanbases. The fanbase is to provide a bit of extra money and spectacle nothing else.

Exactly right. My mind immediately went to City there - they sure as fuck didn't have a winning mentality until enough cash and decent signings managed to make it stick. Even then, you had results like Wigan beating them in the FA Cup final in 2013. I can tell you right now that the Etihad crowd had a VERY Spurs-fan demeanour when it looked like they were going to fuck up the title right before the Agueeeeeero moment, too.

Did Leicester have a 'winning mentality' ahead of their title win? No, they had free doughnuts and paper clappers.

The expectation to win is a two way street, Ange, and we've had decades of disappointment and mental scarring from what's gone on on the pitch - the one place we have zero fucking control over. The love bit is unconditional but we can't just magically pretend we're Real Madrid.

Doesn't want to be here ?

Then he can fuck off

Will be interesting to see if people have the same venom towards him as Conte if he walks

I had no venom toward conte, everything he said was spot on, and everything ange just said was also spot on

This club is soft as baby shit, and has been my whole life. One Micky mouse cup win is all I've had

Although I agree today was a rare and special case ultimately There needs to be a massive shift in mentality from fans, staff, players and more importantly the board

Like Jose, and conte before him, he's typically been a winner now at a club whose very roots have become rotten with a loser mentality

Come on you don’t believe that. The fans have fuck all to do with winning long term. Arse fans all leaving on 70 mins down to Villa, City fans half the time not even there. Those two are far weaker than ours, Woolwich in particular.

We could have an empty stadium but if Pep was our manager with the City team we would have titles. How does that happen well money and using money well to get the best coaches, scouts and players.

Ohhhhh cry me a fucking river ange "mate" where was this emotion when we've been getting dicked for the last 2 months, just reeks of a self inflated ego. (Note I'm not Ange out but what a cunt 🤣) we've been shit for the last 20 odd years think how we feel.

Honestly, nail on the head. He doesn't get to be all pissy now after the run we have had, we had plenty of chances to put 4th to bed and he has spent that entire run being inflexible and stubborn to a fault and now all of a sudden the "foundations are shaky" and problems at the club "inside and out" wasn't he just saying the other week that the players were doing well and trying to play our game still?

He's just contradicting himself constantly, self preservation imo.
