Right. Imagine watching Ange destroy this club on the pitch over the last 20 months, and your question is back him or sack him. Of course it's sack him. You actually have to be an idiot to even think backing Ange is a sensible thing to do. Literally anyone even asking that question is clueless. You might as well give 250 million to Ted Lasso to spend.

theres a lack of leadership 100% which is why giving son ther armband was pathetic, that should of at least gone to someone who has to have a shave every now and then.
the players are drained mate, its been a year of shit results. the idiot has them up so high that they cant lose the ball or they know they are doing intense sprints back every single time. the tactics are a dream to play against not for.
It’s called bullshit baffles brains.
I dont think even Pep could lift this group of players...... That Rady bloke at the back....Bissouma ... Curlyvesty...Johnson....
need to be sold.... not good enough in my opinion....

Been out coached by
Silva
Hurzler
Grasner
Iraola
Clubs tiny in comparison
Also Howe recently
Couldn’t hold onto a lead v the new guy at Wolves
Today is hardly a shock is it
And just remember, this performance tonight came off the back of being taken to ET by tamworth, and we were a decent connection away from being knocked out in injury time.
I mean, it's quite surreal the guy is still in the job. I just don't understand what the board are doing. The signs were there October 2023. I said he should have been sacked in the summer, then every month since then, but no.
Serious question marks have to be asked of the club and how they have let Ange get away with this for so long and they've kept faith. The patient thing to do? Or pure incompetence? Pretty obvious which one it is.

Fuck off back to Celtic or Japan you clown.
I was moderately Ange in until November. I wanted it to work with him, though had doubts increasing from spring last year onwards. No shame in changing horses —. even at this late stage!
I'm just numb. These results used to really piss me off but now I've just come to expect nothing else. I can't get my hopes up high enough for them to even be dashed.
Speaking personally, when we’re on a league run as dire as this, the only thing I want to hear from the manager is, ‘This is on me—I’ll fix it.’ Everyone can see the performances aren’t up to scratch, so when he shifts the narrative to players not executing his instructions, it feels like a subtle deflection.
But here’s the rub: what if the players are following orders, and it’s the system itself that’s flawed? 5 points from 27 is it now? I honestly think Ange might do better to focus on inspiring the players instead imo.
At the end of the day, though, actions speak louder than words, and the results are doing all the talking right now. Whether he owns it or not, the trajectory we’re on doesn’t lie. I don’t want us to lose another manager, and I’d love nothing more than to see him turn things around. But if I were a betting man, I wouldn’t put a penny on it mate.
This is what worries me. We probably won't get properly dragged in but it's not a zero chance, and if we do get dragged in our players seem to have no heart, no confidence and no self belief.
As much as Werner gets it a lot on here his confidence is non existent, but then who can you say is playing with confidence? Given the way Ange publicly threw him under the bus I doubt hes bothered trying to help him build it up either.
How can anyone pull on the Lilywhite (ok the fucking awful blue Pyjamas) in an NLD and play like terrified school kids? Lamela would NEVER.
Anyway if we do get dragged into a fight it won't be pretty (not that it's pretty now)
Glad to say I don't recognise any of these names.
West Ham Place..... I think that is what needs to happen at Spurs as well.....a proper real clearout..... all the way down to the Tea lady....
Regardless of what I or anyone thinks of him in terms of coaching calibre... Listening to him speak after tonights game is further proof of one thing..
Being manager of Tottenham Hotspur is a fucking brutal job. He sounds beaten down. They all do in the end.

Right I hear all this but throwing players under the bus is stretching it, he actually did say it's also on him to fix.
Like I just said briefly to Shady “the only thing I want to hear from the manager is, ‘This is on me—I’ll fix it.’ Everyone can see the performances aren’t up to scratch, so when he shifts the narrative to players not executing his instructions, it feels like a subtle deflection.

That’s kind of where my head is right now but I do agree with you, he looks like he knows it’s over.
Fuck yourself with a rusty nailShadydan
He’ll think that it’s a cocktail!
I think you can say the players are drained if they're still trying to play the managers 'tactics', I don't think we leave one drained today, we looked clueless. That's worse to me than anything else. We don't have a plan, we don't play patterns, we don't play a certain way, we look clueless, uncoached. As I said earlier or in a other thread, as bad as we were under Mourinho or conté, we looked dangerous on the counter. With Ange we don't even counter. It shows how fucking good Kane is. And fuck Daniel Levy.
Are you trying to rhyme?
