Context context context.... Only context in March/April will be: why we didnt sack him in December when we should, and we did it 2 months too late instead.
 
he is doing utterly terribly and 100% has earned a sacking this season.
He earned a sacking last season. Take out the new manager bounce at the beginning and we were a complete mess and getting worse with every game. And finished the season with one of the worst run of results I've ever seen from a Spurs manager.

Of course you couldn't get anywhere with this opinion last summer. I and others were shouted down for wanting him gone. Now look where we are.
 
I’ll readily admit that posts on here alter my thinking on Ange. I’m pretty much 50/50 on him. I do think if we replaced him with someone like Iriola, we’d get back to maybe getting CL, do well in the cups, but not win any and generally be a bit more settled. But I think Ange has it in him to have a fucking nightmare (present state), but his way of doing things might just lead us to win stuff.

So I sit at 50/50, then come on here and see him referred to as a fat cunt, getting shit for coughing, getting shit for not laser eyeing interviewers, getting shit for his pressers, etc. Then those supporting him get called cultists, Ange bois, happy clappers. Then I read fans saying they want to lose matches to get rid of him.

Every post like this adds a percentage point onto me wanting him to stay.

Give him grief for not being able to organise the defence. For not getting his “only one of you go forward” message to the fullbacks. For not resting Udogie quickly enough when he was obviously tired and out of form. But calling him a fraud and a fat cunt? Fuck that.
the other side of that coin is most of the mate mafia are basically trolling and not arguing in good faith. you even admit it here and that's very frustrating and can make one call others fat cunts.
 
Yeah there's a middle ground. Of course there is.

(Even allowing for the fact I don't believe Ange is as naive as some paint him)

However, what there isn't is guarantees.

There's no guarantees with Ange.
There's no guarantees with someone else.

For that reason I lean towards sacking Ange now being the wrong decision.
I get you. But I believe you are wrong. He'll probably stay a few more weeks anyway.
 
A lot of the Ange IN is still based around the fact that you simply arent getting anyone better in RIGHT NOW. Another round of Mason 3.0 is pointless.

I dont know about this whole project stuff but seeing out the year and seeing how the team performs when we get some bodies back is not the craziest take.
