The Spurs fans that are getting their knickers in a twist over Ange’s comments tonight need to give their heads a wobble and stop taking this as some sort of personal insult.
Ange Postecoglou is not a Tottenham Hotspur fan. He is an employee who is paid to win football matches and to try and make us successful on the pitch. His comments tonight were not personal. He was not calling out the fans specifically. His comments were by and large absolutely spot on. Just as Antonio Conte’s comments were by in large spot on. Just as Mauricio Pochettino’s comments were absolutely spot on when he was manager towards the end of his tenure.
From my reading, it’s pretty clear it’s the ownership and the general culture of mediocrity that is strangling the club that he is calling out here, not the fans.
Anges comments clearly didn’t come about just as a result of tonight’s match. My reading of them is, like many of our previous managers, he’s come to realise over the last few weeks and months that the culture from the top down at the club is pretty rancid, that theres
no real incentive to be successful on the football pitch and his frustrations boiled over tonight with all the journalist’s patronising questions.
My only hope now is that Daniel Levy and the board actually listen to this man and the message he’s trying to get across, rather than throw their toys out the pram and press the nuclear button as they did when Conte called them out in a similar fashion. The ball is well and truly in Levys court.
