You really think any club in their right mind evaluates a manager based on how they get on at Spurs.

Nuno just humiliated us and by us I mean every Spurs fan who hounded him out. Conte will win silverware at Napoli as well, laughing in our faces the whole time.

Nobody bigger than a Palace touches him. He's been our worst manager in 15+ years. Spurs haven't been in this part of the table for any longer than a couple of weeks for years. This is a special level of incompetence - we are in legitimately trouble of getting sucked in to a relegation fight.

Nuno deserved to fucking go, stop this shit please. He's a nice guy doing a good job at a club he suits but he was never going to succeed here, we almost immediately got better under Conte and achieved 4th. Conte is obviously a good coach, he got sacked cos he got sick of the board not because he had us in fucking 11th going on 14th.

AVB had solid tactics and was working through a massive tactical transition and cultural squad overhaul. Without AVB, Poch doesn't have success as quickly as he did.

Poch was the best manager hire we ever made, because we found someone that did a lot of the same things as AVB tactically, but added what was missing. It showed foresight and planning.

We need the same sort of appointment now.

AVB had his pluses but I think you're reaching with the Poch comparison; AVB was too wedded to a system and inflexible (a bit like Ange) but with defensive instincts. I felt Bale helped him out and he was exposed quickly once he left.

Poch was obviously amazing and no argument there from me.
 
Our fourth 1-0 loss of the season, with a few batterings at home for good measure.

"We're asking too much of our players" - I think we're asking too much of you, Ange. This squad has very competent parts and should be performing at a much greater sum. Use the tools at your disposal.

Should not be getting another transfer window. Having better players only goes so far when your gameplan is so predictable.

We need Xabi Alonso or Nagelsmann to get even the slightest hope of success at this club but Levy could never persuade them

Nah restarting again just proves we have zero plan. How could the likes of Deki/Cuti and whoever else expect to win here. It’s a complete mess. Ryan Mason headcoach again in a few weeks by the sounds of it while we interview Potter and Southgate. It’s a laughing stock the whole thing. We needed Ange to work

We will see. Cuti seems to want out anyway. So is best gone. Rest will stay.

At risk of getting pelted. I think that Potter could work.

The squad is not that far off being set up for his 3 at the back. He will want to attack like Ange, but with more structure and control.

I think AvB’s main problem was that all the players thought he was a complete dickhead.

Yeah. AVB is one of those guys that you either love or he rubs you the wrong way. Very principled as well. Definitely the sort of guy that can come off as a dickhead.

He's actually the president of Porto now. Maybe he could come back as chairman one day (wouldn't that be a sight?)

Exactly what Spurs fans hounded Nuno is exactly what he used to take the living piss out of us tonight.

Exactly whatever it is the top yids on here think they need now, is exactly the reason we will get battered by the next trend away from that.

That is the cycle we are in.

No Glacier I don't want us to lose ever. But it's the principle of triage you some times have to be brutal to save the patient from worse. Trust me every day Ange is calling the shots is a day longer in clown school.

I'd 100% take the humiliation of Tamworth if he goes and we are back on the path to succeeding. I've got a dumb mate calls after every game even the United game " Are we not entertained" cod Aussie accent. We are already a laughing stock stop kidding yourself he can change it by winning something he can and will takes us lower. You are the one not gripping the reality

Who amongst us could not possibly want to be defeated by Tamworth so we can spare Shotgunofmichalebrow Shotgunofmichalebrow being called by his dumb mate with a cod Aussie accent?

We should petition the players to drop the game specifically to spare poor old Shotty this terrible burden. :cautious:
