as in, why did he have to end up with us? Spurs. There's plenty of other clubs out there.

Rumours were he actually knocked back another EPL club when mid-season at Celtic.

Ange is ex City Football Group. Yokohama are part-owned by CFG. Scott Munn is ex-CFG. . Celtic have strong links with CFG. Say what you like about City, they have the resources, the facilities, the scouting networks, the backroom systems that are second to none. They don't pick mugs to join them.

He also has a reputation for coming into clubs in some sort of turmoil, clearing out the dead wood, and re-setting the course of the club

Ok thanks. I guess we have to wait and see what happens regarding your last sentence. The previous 'turmoil', on the face of it, appeared to be ex-managers' with proven track records of managing at the elite level not being able to build a team with the players they felt they needed? At the moment what I am hearing and seeing in interviews is it's all 'me, me and me' 'and it's someone else's fault.' media appear to lap it up.

Levy the trophy killer (but what does Jose know).
In my mind Ange is a blustering windbag who has a Plan A that works beautifully if you have 11 superb players who can run all day plus back ups for when those 11 are injured.

Wrong club bonzo try Citeh.

His last presser after SU game asked about finishing 5th he said his only interested in first not even 2,3 4. Surely the answer at this stage should be the aim is to finish as high as possible and be competitive in every game. It’s like he doesn’t view progression or building to something and he just wants the front door key to a house without it being finished. Almost delusional!

It can come across that way. I think he says that more with him not having the usual pedigree for this level and feeling he has to justify and defend his appointment, that he has earned the opportunity, if you know what I mean.

Kompany looks he has the Bayern gig, well, I'd say Postecoglou has earned this shake of the sauce bottle.

There's things managers say in the media and things they believe. He's repeatedly said the team has long way to go, but the ultimate goal is to finish first, and he has to instill that belief in the players and the club that its possible. "Why not us?"

Are you really that dumb?

He's aiming for first. You don't aim for lower spots and call it progression. You aim for the top, and as you get closer to it each season, THAT is called progression.
 
Wasn't she actually saying that this is what goes on at most clubs?
And that wasn't really what she was saying anyway.


I don't know why so many people can't count.
82% of the United Kingdom is white based on the last census. I would be surprised if there is less than 18% of non-white representation among players. In fact, given there is potentially a genetic advantage in some sports, you may find a higher representation of black players.

The sad thing, is that the only person who has the balls to say this is Joey fucking Barton ffs.
Even when he says something that's right he's still a megacunt.
I don't know why you are doubting me. I listened to it live. Her argument was that Pep put in a fake bid for Rice to help his old mate Arteta out. Ludicrous and non-sensical obviously. Her justification was that it is sort of thing she did all the time when she was sporting director. When questioned she said she would ring up rival clubs' sporting directors to get them to put fake bids in for players she wanted. it apparently would lead to her boss giving her more money.
And yes, if she is telling the truth and this is what goes on in the WSL, there should be an audit of the league.

That seems a bit harsh a statement to a Spurs supporter in my opinion. In the times when Tottenham had success they have had leaders who were loyal and humble. Bullshit baffles brains it seems. You can say anything you like but the way we were set -up before the City game, all the ' i wanna win' bs doesn't count for much. I look serious so you better watch out.. no matter what reasonable question is asked.
