Some people are sure that he can continue his trend of always winning something in his second year. We had a terrible start to the season and Ange was under some pressure. He bought himself a lot of time with that stunt but now that we have Liverpool in the semis, even the most convinced must be doubtful. In Europa league, we haven't impressed.

FA Cup didn't start yet and we could still play for something this season if we get Ange out. He was found against Chelsea last year playing with that high line despite being 9 men. And when we played against 9 man Liverpool in this fixture last season, we couldn't do anything. We need a fluke own goal to get the win.

Now, a year later, a lot of things have changed. Ange looking to get his first back to back PL win since September. The result is that we concede 6 at home! And had Liverpool been clinical they could've had 10! Do you really see any future in this system?
 
We put 3 past the best defence in the league, and they put 6 past us with our starting center backs injured, and starting goal keeper.
It doesn't work like that in football. We kept coming back when they thought we would just accept that we got smacked. So they twisted the knife a little more each time.
To be fair our player don't down tools. Which is a result of clear out. Ange surrounded himself with kids that will continue to believe fairytales until someone competent pulls the plug on this.
 
One of the 7 or 8 richest clubs in the world should not be restricted to "well, who's available". Everyone who's not at one of the super clubs of europe should be available.

The fact that we know that its only Postecoglou, Mason or maybe Potter until the summer is a consequence of how the club chooses to act. Rather than how it should be.
 

Sack the entire footballing operation.


Hoddle until the end of the season.


Exactly why we cannot sack him, no-one has the answer or any serious answers. :ange-lol:

Thank you for answering the question, gents
 
I still think it’s worth giving him the rest of the year. But I do have my doubts if being this open at the back is sustainable. But tbf, we are starting an 18 yo MF at CB against probably the best team in the world at this point.

That said, I can understand the Ange out people more. I think Potter is a reasonable choice as it’s at least a similar philosophy of attacking, playing young players, etc., but a little more control and sanity in defense. Similar to the Klopp to Slot transition.
What's the benefit of keeping him? The sooner we change style the better for the players.

System won't work, we look like a team of schoolboys.
Poorly coached and lacking in any tactical set nous.
The set up is basically, we will continue to play our way whatever the result.
 
The most upsetting bit of this is the way the media and general narrative around the club is changing, and it’s the narrative Ange is creating.

Everyone used to say “Spurs don’t win trophies” and that was it. Now, pundits, other fans and all sorts basically just sort of chuckle at us and talk about how ridiculous we are, we aren’t even taken seriously as a football club now, because we aren’t a serious football club.

The last few games, commentary teams just do the whole “well aren’t you entertained? Great for neutrals!” We’re a footnote, something as a neutral to make your Sunday afternoon fun when your own team aren’t playing.

Now it’s all we hear “well it’s always entertaining here at Spurs” and yet we are going nowhere. We can hide behind injuries, but it’s clear where this is going. We’re a school team managed by one of the dads.

Of all the things I want this club to win, the hearts and minds of neutral fans is bottom of the list.
Now our own fans are buying into it, “let’s sing his name, it’s entertaining isn’t it!” No, it isn’t, I want us to be a proper football club trying to win things.

In the summer, we won’t have won any trophies but will get to some quarters and semis, we’ll finish atrociously midtable - some of our better players will go and play to compete elsewhere, due to being midtable we’ll attract an even lower standard of player as we’ll be shopping in a different store. The same fans will be wondering how it went so wrong all whilst singing the name of our competition winner manager whilst we go and try and turn over Fulham in a “hoping to be top half” six pointer.
