People are quick to dismiss him, but we have a guy that couldn't be more determined! He is not just here for a paycheck, he has a lot of doubters and you can see he wants to win trophies, prove them wrong and show his methods can win in the PL.

I can promise you this:

If Levy rang me up I would be the most determined manager in club history, and I would also be the cheapest in the last 50+ years probably. I'd likely work 18 hour days 7 days a week. I would eat, drink and breathe Spurs.

And we'd probably get relegated because none of that fucking matters. He's employed to win football matches, something he's proving to be only capable of doing 50% of the time at this level.

The problem is we don’t know if he is capable of doing this project because he’s NEVER REMOTELY been in this situation before. He hasn’t managed anywhere near this level AND he’s never not had access to the best players in any league he’s operated in.

This idea (not that you’ve said it but others point to it) that you have to give managers time as a default because of Fergie or Arteta is nonsense. There are way more times when a manager is given too much time and the inevitable should have happened sooner. Ten Haag. Soljskaer, Gerry Francis - look at the way Arse got rid of Bruce Rioch after one season to bring in Wenger etc.
You have to chart your progress subjectively along the way and essentially continually work out the main question for any manager i.e is he capable of getting more (or at least equal) out of this team than the sum of its parts.
In this sense, it’s always harder at THFC because the manager is always required to get more than the sum, because transfer wise we rarely dine at the top table because of our fuckwit chairman.

And Sunday was an absolutely shocking marker for tracking our progress. Coming off that 2nd half vs Brighton and in our next away game we produce that insipid garbage.
Our away form is absolutely shocking. At home we seem to be adept at putting away teams outside of those competing for the top 6. This pattern will NOT keep Ange in his job past the summer and rightly so. 2 big home games coming up now, can we dispense of some quality opposition at our own house - another progress marker.

Many of us are not Ange OUT, we’re just very concerned.

Funny, it's the other way around with me, as I have restraining orders against both Scarlet and Margot Robbie for constantly harassing me and demanding no-strings sex. Most nights of the week they're outside my door, screaming for sex and upsetting my dog at all hours of the night. They don't respect that I'm a married man now!

Despicable behavior. We live in a society!

Sounds like you got lucky.

I was in conversations with “Scarlett” on Facebook for years. After a long time she said she would get a divorce and start a new life with me.

When I arrived to collect her from the airport she was actually some bloke called Billy Bob!! Catfished to fuckery!!

You couldn’t make this shit up could you.
 
Tottenham Hotspurs Directors have begun looking for a successor to Ange Postecoglou should he be sacked.
They concluded that Woolwich used to be successful because they hired a manager whose name is similar to the team (Arsene). Therefore, Spurs have approached Stefan Kuntz to become their new boss.
