I'm sorry I can't have an 'intelligent' discussion with you because I find your take completely hysterical and hyper sensitive.

You moaning about him making a throwaway comment about his job and comparing it to other jobs is just hilarious, sorry.

I think you need to chill a bit.

You find my take about Ange saying that managing a football club is “the hardest job in the world” hysterical? When all I said was that’s insulting to many people around the world who have much harder jobs?

How is that hysterical? You love throwing that word around, I am not sure you actually know what it means mate.

If anything I would say you’re projecting because you actually do come across as hysterical and hypersensitive, you spend your life on here arguing with people because their opinions upset you lol. You lack any form of self awareness Shady.

There's nothing to discuss about your weak take on a throwaway comment, sorry if that offends you.

This is like the time when you had a meltdown when Daniel Levy was on the pre season tour with the players and you were wondering why we aren't signing any players, just complete football fan hyperbolic hysterical nonsense, you read way too much into...like everything.

Now if you wish I we can discuss other jobs and compare the difficulty factor if you want to go down that path

I'll start, McDonalds manager

Cleaner in an abbatoir.
 
Read the other day that Postecoglou likes to buy homeless people KFC but before he gives it to them, he eats all the crunchy yummy skin first.

Monster.
 
Hearing reports that Ange deliberately sits on the aisle seat on overcrowded trains and puts his bag on the window seat to make it as difficult as possible for people to have a comfortable voyage

Despicable.
 
Someone told me that he deliberately starts shopping just before closing time so that retail staff have to stay later than normal and cash up.

How insulting!

I lost interest in Spurs under Venables.

If you look at the squad Venables inherited it was his signings that sowed the seeds for what went wrong after he left the club.

Venables inherited the best Spurs side until Poch's 15 / 16 team.

He signed Paul Stewart, for a huge fee, as a striker who couldn't score goals and sold Clive Allen.

He sold Ruddock to Southampton and then bought him back. He filled the side up with mediocrity like Sedgley, Samways, Fenwick, Cundy, Austin, Edinburgh, Walsh, Mimms and many others while allowing quality players to leave.

He signed Gascoigne and Lineker who carried his team until the day they left.

Ossie inherited a bucket of shit from Venables and every subsequent manager struggled as a result.

Nick Barmby, Sheringahm and Anderton were also decent signings.

Vennables/Spurs sold Ruddock after he broke his leg on his debut and managed 11 games in 2 years (back) to Millwall. Vennables brought Ruddock back from Southampton, who left Spurs (again) because Sugar sacked Vennables. Ruddock was one of the most vocal in support of Vennables. They were good friends.

Barmby, incredibly, came through our youth academy.

Difficult to say today as things weren't as well documented in the 80's and early 90's, but I think we were selling players off regularly to stave off administration due to Scholar. Venables was also prone to dogy dealing IIRC. IE, signing and selling players as favours for a brown envelope or 2.

Paul Stewart was hit and miss I’ll give you but he did score the winner in the FA Cup final and took it well

No he didn’t.
Were you very drunk that day or something??

Edit: A classic moment in Spurs history.
