Only been a spurs fan for 40 years but personally I am hoping for a win today and then get some players back in Jan and go on a decent run to kick start our season.As a Spurs fan of 56 years I'm ashamed to admit that if it was guaranteed that AP was sacked this evening if we lost at home to Wolves today, then I'd happily take the loss

Ange Postecoglou: Spurs boss says Brighton loss 'worst defeat' of his tenure at club after second-half collapse
Tottenham lost a two-goal lead to slip to a 3-2 defeat at Brighton; Spurs suffered a stunning second-half collapse as Seagulls scored three goals in 18 minutes; Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou told Sky Sports: Thats probably the worst defeat we have had since Ive been herewww.skysports.com
It's by far the single dumbest thing I've ever heard from an elite coach. It's the kind of empty headed reactionary thing an unintelligent person says when they have exhausted every last rational instinct they have. I loath Levy but I have to belive he is smarter than the handful of folk on here still making excuses. I think he's been making plans to replace him for a while. You cant have any pretence at being a serious pro team and have Postecoglou, Yedinak Wells Mason, its bonkers. Ange is not waving he is drowning it's actually cruel to leave him in post the hostility in the press conferences may as well be tears.
You are willing to "lets see", I'm not. I'd prefer if Terzic or Potter replaced Ange this week. But if the club decide to wait until summer, I believe we will be better off with mason as manager than if we keep Postecoglu. Mason, if he's not totally daft, should at least have picked up some notion of how to defend under Mourinho, Nuno and Conte. And should probably know a bit about how to play attacking football after working with Pochettino, Ange, and to a small part (transition) Mourinho and (patterns, counterattacks) Conte.
Go on a run of what?
At what point since his first 10 games have we been on any kind of a run of anything other than losses in the league??
Wake up mate. It ain't gonna happen.
Never won more than three games. It's like they are having their memories purged.
Just wait till the players comeback and if we don't go on a run then yes its not working and we replace him but at least wait this injury crisis out before you draw a conclusion.
We won 5 on the spin before throwing away the 2 goal lead against Brighton away. Thats when we had nearly a full squad available. Injuries have killed us and its been impossible to get any momentum going without all 3 of Vicario, Romero and VDV since the 4-0 City win
Terzic and Potter are mid choices, rather than rushing an appointment now we are far better off waiting until the Summer for the likes of Silva, Iarola, Frank or whoever may be more available, what scenario would you prefer?
You're not even getting new manager bounce because the players haven't even stopped playing for Ange, by all accounts their behind him so again that's another case of keeping this manager for the time being.
This Mason talk is absolute crazy and just tells you how broken this fanbase is, if you think the season is done now then hiring Mason just puts the final nail in the coffin, yeah I'm sure his 10 or so games of PL management he's gonna be able to turn our season around, laughable.
The last time the club felt this much of a mess was in the 90s. It’s insufferable at the minute.
And you’re right, irrespective of what people say, it isn’t good enough.
You know we were losing games for fun with the first choice defence. Mate we are taking 1.39 per game. That's now over a near 38 game metric. We are incredibly consistent. The run he is capable of using all the data, inclusive of his vaunted first choice line up leaves us 11th. You are simply ignoring what's happening.
After Leicester collapse, when they got relegated after finishing 5th, 5th and 8th in previous seasons - relegation fighting scenario is not that unlikely for me.
League games. Let's be explicit league games. Above the maths for league games paint the true picture. Not skewed by Coventry Carrier bag and such like.
No we didn't. Most of those games were against shite like Coventry and Carrierbag in the cups.
Since the first 10 games of last season, this idiot useless twat of a coach has managed 3 league wins in a row ONCE.
This season he managed 2 in row ONCE.
LEAGUE GAMES.
Not cup games against lower league fodder.
You're either a troll or an idiot. Which ever one you are you're fucking good at it.
In the league.
Who did we beat in those five combined games?
He’s not really strung more than two wins together in the league since that early run ended. And he’s had his full, first choice 11 available at many times too since then.
To be honest, We really have no say in what happens ,we just have to hope things change for the better results wise.
Reckon he's sufferer some kind of serious head injury as he has the memory of Dory.
Good Lord, imagine actually comparing the two teams... please do your research as to why Leicester got worse.
I think some people just want to see positives and have hope mate, no need to be personal.
The idea of waiting until the summer assumes we have the luxury of time, but the truth is, this season could spiral further into irrelevance if we stick with a failing system. We could, quite literally, be throwing away the chance of winning a cup.
The notion that the players are ‘behind Ange’ sounds nice, but backing a manager emotionally doesn’t always translate into results on the pitch. If anything, it makes our current form even more damning. If they are playing for him and we’re still this bad, that’s a bigger indictment of his methods than if they’d given up entirely.
As for Mason, I don’t think anyone is genuinely suggesting him as a long-term solution; the point of bringing him in temporarily would be to simply remove the manager before any more long term damage can be done but the replacement should ideally already be lined up.
Leaving Ange in charge when the metrics and performances clearly show regression isn’t patience; it’s negligence.
Just to refresh people's memories
Coventry (league cup)
Brentford
Carrierbag (ropey league)
Man United
Ropey league game against unspellable team
We won 2 league games from 5 fixtures.
Brentford who have been 2024's worst away team in the PL.
Man United who are horrendous, playing to get their coach the sack AND had 10 men for 50 minutes.
And still these fucking muppets think things will get better.
WE DON'T BEAT GOOD TEAMS
