Heard redknapp earlier on talksport. Nail on head saying ange lost to Ipswich and palace with best players and they hadnt won all season. Also mentioned 2nd rate cups were in. Has to beat Everton sunday. Nothing less.
Probably can't believe we sacked his Dad after finishing 4th for the second time in three years, while this joker gets all the time in the world and £300m spent on him
 
You are in a growing majority most likely.

I’d say it’s me and a few others who are in the minority that do
I'm still with you. It seems a weird time to sack him just before he starts getting the bulk of the team back.

I can't overlook the impact the injuries have had. I know people will point to our form with a full squad but I think those performances merited more than the points we got.

Romero was making lots of mistakes which were punished, Solanke wasn't fully fit/settling in and most of the games we lost we played on a Thursday whilst the opponents had had a full weeks rest and preparation.

I think we really need a wide player who can beat a man and we have missed Odobert was brought in to do this. When you look at Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford and even West Ham their wide players would all get into our team.

Bentancur is more reliable than Biss who has been way too inconsistent and Sarr is still learning.

At the end of the day if you buy a bunch and have to rely on them week in and week out you aren't going to get consistent results I do think it will payoff on the end but we need more ready made players for the here and now.

This system needs a lot of players confident and in form to pull it off. It must be draining (both physically and mentally) pressing all the time and playing out from the back without get rewarded. I'm not saying they deserve to be rewarded recently but momentum and confidence are huge in football and when things aren't going well you start to doubt yourself, your teammates and the system.

I do get people's concerns though and obviously results can't continue much longer like this.

If he does get sacked maybe Houghton for the rest of the season would be a good option. Then go and get Iraola in the summer. Regardless we should go all out for Baleba and some proven wide players.

Harry’s constant twerking for the England job didn’t help matters.

He was the architect of his own downfall.

Redknapp junior seems to have conveniently forgotten about that.
 
Ange comes across as a nice guy, he got his dream job in the richest league in the world. It started with a bang but unfortunately it has all gone pear shaped since then. No need for personal insults, he just ain't up to it , he wasn't backed properly and he has been found out. We need someone new in asap, as we are dropping down the table like a stone. We might get a temporary lift from a new manager, might even win something, but the new man will have to deal with the same incompetent board and same incompetent chairman and it will inevitably end the same way about 18 months to 2yrs later.
 
10 players out since November and not 1 outfield player has come in by 16 January. What a joke! Ange must be thinking South Melbourne Hellas were better run than Tottenham.

He doesn't come across as a nice guy in any shape or form

I don't know why this myth continues to be perpetuated

He's often rude , arrogant and surly

Definitely to journalists. Sometimes they deserve it because they ask such dumb questions, but all too often he launches at them for no real reason and all it really does is expose his fragility.

But I do agree with everything else septicsac wrote.

Journalists are annoying but they are just doing their job

He's often provocative with no justification, I don't see any likeability in him

His whole Mate Schtick does nothing for me
