Don't see Levy doing it mate. He'll view that as an expensive gamble. He'd rather wait till Summer and Bournemouth prob let him go for close to nothing in Summer but to get him mid season they'd want a big fee

Sorry to dissapoint you but Ange isnt getting to May. The team is being booed off most weeks, they've started on Levy and we're 10th with Chelsea and Liverpool 2 of our next 3 league games. We've already hit the untenable phase.
No idea what Levy will do, quite probably cheap out again, but he acts when things get uncomfortable. Always has.
For you and I , absolutely but these managers have egos the size of Jupiter . Failure is not an option .
I doubt you could be a manager if your only drive was £ & thinking about the pay off when you get sacked
Their ego's are the reason they accept jobs like this.
They really believe they can be the ones who will turn it around.
His first season was quite a success. LC win, FA cup runner-up, QF of Europa League, 3rd in the league. That's how he earned that credit in the bank that kept him in the job during the entirety of his calamitous second season (last season that is) . Even then, like I said, overwhelming majority of their fans and football fans in general realized that he was not up to the job. Then he fluked a cup win and earned a couple of more months until he eventually got sacked.
All the "credit" Ange has in the bank comes from a small 10 game sample. It has been pure mediocrity since then. Like you said, the standards must be on the floor for him to continue to be evaluated based on that hot start. And I don't even think many of his advocates even stand up for him anymore. They're just taking the "but who will replace him??" route. Valid concern, but cannot really be used in defense of him.
His brand of football (whatever that means) is extremely demanding of players. Mentally, physically and technically. In that sense, I consider him a chequebook manager. Give him a deep, talented squad of players that are vastly superior to their opponents, and he will bulldoze his way through competitions. The issue is, if this club operated like that he wouldn't be anywhere near the job. He was brought in precisely because we need managers that can make us punch above our weights. And it's beyond clear he's not that guy. So no reason to keep him

And he looks and talks like Latka from Taxi
I feel he has been hung out to dry by Levy like all the managers before him . Levy out chants will grow , Ange will get fired , we limp on with a caretaker . We get turned down by our first 567 choices , we appoint someone who is doomed to failure , Levy releases another cringe video that makes everyone puke .

I can’t even take any pleasure in lashing out at the perpetually wrong anymore!! It’s reached that sad point where I actually just feel sorry for Ange.
Told you so doesn’t even really cover it at this point!
maybe. but agree, the ego is there loud and clear.
Let's not forget Ange made Son captain, didn't agree with it then, don't now. He is not captain material sorry to say. You can't have a player who is passed his best and shouldn't even be starting regularly, who is not a natural leader, to be captain. That is on Ange, another baffling decision.
"Tottenham, fans who think they are better than they are. It's a mediocre squad not capable of winning a trophy. "

Dream team of Lesley, Mason and doesn’t JD have his badges now too?
Stupid bet to have now as Lopetegui is halfway out the door. But Ange will be the next one after.
It's no secret to me. Possession doesn't make football more entertaining. Toiling for 90 minutes, passing side to side isn't swashbuckling entertainer stuff.
Getting beat by clubs whose entire wage bill is less than Levy's bonus is pathetic too.
Click bait.
I'm convinced the Sonny Spurs, Barney etc etc just claim to back Ange because it gets rage replies and views.
Some of them seem too intelligent and of a certain age to not see the guys well and truly out of his depth and the players have stopped playing for him.
Any player of half decent ability in our squad now is going to be more likely to leave than at any stage in the last 10 years.
Unless something changes. And that chanhe is, and can only be, the coach.
Actually thin van der ven would be a good captain. Leads by example.
It's de not ''der''.
It’s because he’s a nice bloke & that’s probably the problem with us
I wonder how “ well liked “ Roy Keane or Bryan Robson were ? Respected , absolutely but I doubt they ere everyone’s mate
you'll be ok. Todays news, fish & chip paper etc ..as they said. I wouldn't feel too sorry. Just maintain the 'blue steel ' look and it will be sweet as..
