As I said, he will need better players for his system to be effective at the level he dreams of.
We need to wait and see what happens next.

We need to wait and see what happens next.
I think people underestimate how much Levy himself appreciates what Ange has done.
The club was in an utterly toxic state in Conte's wake, and then it sold Harry Kane. Not only did Ange keep that situation afloat, he turned the page narratively, and has made useable contributors out of not just his own purchases, but the players he inherited, including ones deemed useless by previous coaches.
Ange has shown an ability to not have Levy's transfer investment go wasted (credit due to Paratici and Lange too of course). That's quite a radical change from even our most successful managers of ENIC's tenure. That's a very prominent reason why I feel confident Ange is nowhere near the sack in Levy's mind, I think that outcome will be strenuously avoided, a sharp break from Levy's normal trigger-happiness.
You said players for bigger fees and bigger wages -
We could potentially, and I know many people think this, find a better player than Johnson for less money.
I guess my overall point is that the 40m teenager has been looking pretty decent the last few weeks and by this time next season i expect to be our start CDM.
As always, what any manager needs is the right player for the system regardless of price tag or wage demands.
Usually the best players cost more in fee and wages.
I don't see gray starting as CDM next season, it's a disciplined position and I think ange will try to get another in with experience.
But I do believe he will get more game time there.
Good post, he's not sacking him anytime soon unless it gets really bad. Ange does a good job of protecting the owners and putting everything on his back as opposed to other managers turning their back on him.
That's partly the reason why I'm prepared to wait until the end of the season, pointless getting rid of him mid season especially now, you're taking the club even further backwards if you pull the trigger.
As one concrete example, Hojbjerg, Skipp and Emerson Royal are three players that were totally ill-suited to Angeball, players Ange never would have bought in a million years, and who he would have had every right to freeze out of the squad and totally tank their transfer value, and become those familiar situations where we're paying their salaries to limp them around on loan for multiple years. We know that's exactly what former managers would have done.
Instead, Ange made use of all three players, squeezed what performance he could out of them WHILE not compromising on the football he was trying to develop and bed new players into, and we sold those three for over 50 million in the summer.
We know how Levy is, and we know how obstinate he's been over the years that we SHOULD be able to wring value out of our deadwood while constantly failing to do so. Ange making that work will not have gone unnoticed.
Why would you even ask this? Everyone knows that when Spurs lose this place is jam packed with people offering support and a great sense of togetherness and mutual appreciation despite our petty differences...
I personally think one of Bissouma or bentancur will be sold and which ever one stays will be serpassed by Gray mid way next season, he has unreal talent for his age and he is out performing Dagusin out of position at CB and I think Dagusin is doing ok
I'm small time. I just don't like him. He's still fake to me. What, is him expecting to say bad things about us, or any team they are gonna face? Not possible. Russell Martin was more genuine when he spoke at length about Ange and us before playing us. That was a respect that could be felt. Not from Slot for me. Every praises or punts or criticism or sarcasm, he will always have that wry smrik.
He does look a real prospect, it was good business by the club.
We won't probably see the best of him for another 6 or 7 years due his age, has a big future ahead of him.

Oh yeah and I've never been called a cum guzzler or Levy lover for daring to have a slightly different opinion to
John Thomas
and the gang.
How well was Ange doing when he had basically all of that?
This is the issue. Yeah we have injuries and should take it in to account. We still had a point from two games against the two promoted sides PRIOR to injuries.
We weren’t consistently picking up points pre all those being out and we aren’t afterwards either.
We had this last season too btw - wait till Ange gets his players back. Well he did and we still weren’t consistent.
If I thought with a fully fit team we’d be flying then I’d be behind him. We aren’t and won’t be. There will always be excuses for this man.

Calling people "cum guzzling Cultists" is just their way of saying "tough luck old chap, I respect your desire to support the manager but I fear you are erroneous"
Or something like that...
Ah ok - I just took it as a coping mechanism by grown men who are unable to deal with losing games of football and being made fun of by their mates who support other teams but now I truly get it.
His underlying message was a bit patronizing.
So you're saying Ange is a boot-lick? .
He'll keep his job so long as he's happy to continue his roll as Daniel's whipping boy?
Hmmm

Yes this is definitely what I'm saying, well done.
Yeah this is actually true, he is just happy to be here and thankful whereas other coaches felt they could challenge the board.
He is well behaved so as long as that continues he will keep getting fed treats.
Thought so.
Good point.
They can't cope with real life so they vent on the internet.
