Yeah , I bet he is thinking I have really built myself a stellar reputation, maybe I should trash it by working for Levy

Agree with all that.
This money trap is sickening.
We spend fcukimg loads in many respects. It's a really sh!t narrative.
Postecoglou has had time and investment. He is also in the middle of a high level of injuries, but we lost games with more of our players being available.
It's not worked.
You said you have supported every manager in your lifetime until the very end. You’ve never wanted one sacked. I believe you but it’s a strong statement and a very rare outlook.
So I was asking (maybe a bit facetiously - apols) if that same support applies to the chairman who hires and fires them all.
You implied - stated in fact - that being a supporter means backing your club through thick and thin. So I just wondered if that also applies to the guy who runs the whole thing.
It’s a fair question surely..
How many of those players are starters?
3 definitely.
1 maybe.
3 subs.
And this is why you need to pick up points when you have got more of your first 11 fit, then adjust your team / playstyle accordingly to the players you have.
That’s football. Players get injured. Players are playing injured half the time.
Cutting ribbons and that
I'm not on any 'bandwagon' although I can understand anyone who is - the football and more importantly the results, are pure shite.
So... even if a manager is out of his depth we should carry on regardless?
I'm willing to see what happens in the next 5 games (3 league, 1 EL & 1 Caramel Cup) before I'm fully Ange out, although it's not looking good.
Let's take a look at Gary O'Neil?
- Available any day now
- Knows the prem inside out
- In good shape (not fat)
- Lovely white teeth
- Looks like your dad's mate

Yep. Here’s a left field thought. How about letting a manager see out his contract and give him the proper time to instil the cultural change required.
I mean nothing else has worked, so why not?
What’s the old adage, the epitome of madness is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results!
Yes we are missing the creativity and goal scorers in Vicario, VDV, Romero, Richy and Odebert.
One team looked coached yesterday.
The other does this thing where they all run forward as fast as possible then lose the ball.
Too much unnecessary running. Gaps every where. 0 midfield. Complete lack of structure.
I don't like it but, He needs to go... How many times do we say that's our worst performance blah blah blah.

You seriously think he wouldn't swap Bournemouth for spurs? We would triple his wages for a start
Because modern football is a business. Its entertainment. Its an industry. Everyone gets paid. That's all they ( the media, the "clubs", and the owners) care about. Pay your money. Sit down. Do you thing for 100 minutes and get out. Come back next week.
Surprised the people on here is not pointing their fingers more on the players. Why are they letting away so easy? Where are their pride , giving a showing like that?
Yesterday was a new low, but neither are our manager clueless, or the players in general incompetent. We strolled just a couple of games back, and destroyed City in their own backyard.
Bournemouth just seemed to want it so much more than us yesterday. Embarassing night it was, due to our lack of fight.
Still think we will bounce back, and make a way better shift, vs Chelsea. Why? This is how we are nowadays, extremely inconsistent.
A young spine and injuries, part of the explanation, but failing when we need to deliever is unfortunately not new when it comes to Spurs. This mentality is what Conte adreessed, and needs to change going forward.

Outside of the incredibly rare freak events like Ferguson, managers have their biggest impact and improvement within 12-18 months. We're getting worse if anything, all evidence suggests Ange can't manage effectively in the PL.
While he's ultimately doomed, I'd actually give him a bit longer, just to remove all doubts about him (and you never know...), because this club is probably winning nothing this season either way*.
* We all know why.

I think it will be too late for a new manager to do anything with the season by then.
This is Nuno-level incompetence and I can't see it improving. Sorry to say I'm now fully Ange out.
By the way - we need a new captain. Where is he when the things get tough? Invisible.
The reason we all like Son so well, is at the same time the reason he is not skilled to be our captain..

The mentality comes from the top of the club. It'll take the force of character of Conte and the patience and focus of Gandhi to change it. Or more likely, new owners.
