Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not the first time he's done something like this either.

This and the look on his face at full time make me wonder if there's something more going on.

I think he's really starting to feel the pressure.

Yeah, I was watching a bit of Ali G’s video the other day and he said that in the post match presser on Sunday, Ange had that worn down look about him which our previous managers have had.

I think he needs to go, but calling him a fat cunt like that is not called for.

The players haven't downed tools.

The problem is Ange, himself, just doesn't have the right tools for the job.

So the players' energy is being channelled badly through inadequate and unsophisticated tactics.

Ange is a stubborn, quietly obnoxious, passive aggressive a-hole.

A deluded old romantic who thinks he's found the key to football and thought he could rock up to the prem with "wait 'til they get a load of me" energy and cement his name in history.

His intentions are earnest, overall, but he's been high as fuck on his own farts for too long and been finally brought down to earth.

Like I've been saying since the end of last season - for Ange's limited way of playing to succeed in the prem, he needs quality technical players throughout the squad.

Not gonna happen here, and no club will take that level of a punt on him, now.

The depressing thing is not that it's ending with Ange, it's more about who's going to work for Daniel Levy now? After this carousel of at least half-decent managers who couldn't make anything work under him? Even Nuno is off to happier times now. This job must have the reputation of being a career killer.

On the flip side you could argue it’s the perfect job. No expectations to win anything, big wage and will be sacked 12-18 months in so a big pay off.

Can't say I agree with this take tbh.
Whilst I think it's near impossible in the current set up for any manager to have success in terms of titles, I honestly think the likes of Iraola, Marco Silva, Thomas Frank etc would get more out of this squad of players.

Ange has repeatedly shown a lack of flexibility and inability to learn from his mistakes.
He keeps plodding on regardless with the losses piling up which will be his downfall.

Like I said - we'll find out soon enough.

From the biography of Ange Postecoglou

-"Maybe he's onto something" The critics concede. A creeping sense of inevitability starts to build around the team, then around the club, and soon enough outsider sense it too. The sceptics start to believe. Then it starts to look like it's working. Then it starts working. And then it's really working. At this point the players aren't executing tactics anymore; what they are doing becomes part of them. And from then on it tends to take care of itself.-




For what it's worth. I totally agree with this and think we'll start seeing this away at Hull next October. Maybe even in the home game against Bristol City in September if we're really motoring through the process.

I suppose on that last point though, maybe it's not. Like you said, Nuno is doing great, obviously Jose and Conte would still find work in top leagues, Poch went onto PSG and Chelsea.

So if it doesn't kill your career, and you make a shit ton of money, still a good proposition.
 
"It looks like he's done his hamstring. Him and Radu have played every game. It's the one position we can't rotate. He'll obviously be out for a period of time now, we'll just have to wait and see how long it is. It's a consequence of having the squad we have at the moment.


yep when things are not going well he will now indicate hes not happy with the squad/summer business.

I never really paid much attention to it, but why the fuck does he have a biography?
