This is just bordering on negligence now by Levy tbh. Clearly doesn't want to get the chequebook out in Jan so we very likely will hang on to Postecoglou until the league cup semi then he'll sack him when we lose and put out some bullshit statement about learning lessons from letting go of Mourinho in the late stages of a cup, when actually it just conveniently lines up with the window shutting and him not needing to back Postecoglou as clearly his time was up anyway and also not needing to spend anything for the new manager until summer. There's no other explanation why we are putting up with these insipid performances and shit results.

Manager Ange Postecoglou

Yep!
Mine was yesterday after witnessing the car crash first half and still playing the suicide high line with two slow centre backs.
I was desperately clinging to the hope that something might suddenly click and we’d put a run of City and Villa style performances together.
I think the majority of ‘Ange in’ don’t/didn’t think he was the footballing god to bring us success, we were just hoping to avoid another manager search clusterfuck we’ve witnessed too often before!
Get him gone now!
A final against Woolwich or Newcastle, which we would inevitably lose, either giving a trophy to our most hated rivals, or a first pot to the latest oil money sports washers...
I'd rather just lose at Anfield thanks.
Yep, we have almost no chance of winning a cup under Ange, we are far too shit. Newcastle will demolish us, Woolwich it doesn't need thinking about.
Unfortunately the Spurs board is made up of people with no clue on football, which is why Ange isn't getting sacked.
I think the fanbase was far more divided when Poch left. Personally I didn't want Mourinho at the time, I didn't see it going well without heavy investment in playing staff which hadn't really been our modus operandi. Not to mention it was fucking bewildering to me that we weren't even that poor when he was sacked, we were mid table and we had just gone about essentially trying to rebuild the midfield. How do you finally give a manager some signings after 18 months of fuck all and then sack him before the new year?
I think to be honest most people that are still lingering on "Ange in" are not really still Ange in because of Ange, it's more because of a perception that the problems go beyond the manager to the board (although Levy being a cunt is something I think is widely agreed upon across the divide) and possibly the fear that we would see another 4 months of Mason or even fuck up his replacement even more. You don't really see anyone claiming "it's all gonna come good" at this point. We've been so shit for so long it's really hard to remember what a fully functional Ange team looks like.
Really?!
We’ve had mediocre and car crash interspersed with the odd excellent performance.
Nothing to indicate we’d be able to sustain a top 4 challenge let alone title.
I never wanted Jose either. The way Poch was treated is probably contributing to the patience I still have for Ange.
I am still saying I can see this season having a successful conclusion if Ange stays but I do think we need to nail some transfers that enable us to handle EL, that Liverpool game and that Villa game directly after it
If Postecoglou is given 3 players he will keep us up. Probably will regardless.
Levy might simply feel he needs to wait until he can get the manager he wants.
Relegation, whilst possible is as likely as City overhauling Liverpool. It could happen but it's still very unlikely.

If shipping 3 goals in one half to fucking Everton isn't enough to get the boot, then nothing is. He's either gone today or he's here until the summer.
I'd say it looks amazing because he's done with a tiny club full of players nobody has heard of.
Imagine what he could do with the likes of Romero, VdV, Porro, Bissouma, Bergvall, Sarr, Kulu, Solanke, Madison, etc etc etc.
It's time people (not aimed at you) woke up yo the fact this idiot coach has made them progressively worse bar maybe Kulu.
Most of the best performances are coming from those who have played under him the least.
If we wait till after the villa and Liverpool game and go out then we will be far less attractive. Flip side is if Ange stays and we get through those with the injuries clearing up we are in a completely different place or do we change just now while we have so much to play for which some managers will see as chance to win something straight away and become a legend here and a chance to build something going forward.
So? That didn’t happen when he was with us with the same medical teams. That’s the point.
Similarly they’d just changed their whole medical team at Chelsea the summer before but that’s probably a coincidence.
It just doesn't feel realistic under this manager. We have 24 games of evidence to the contrary. He cannot manage to the strengths of the squad, he is pulling us into a relegation battle. We need to make a change sooner than later, it's beginning to feel like even Ryan Mason might do a better job to season end, if I recall his style was much more closely modelled on Poch than Ange.
The good vibes on here will be unbelievable when we trounce Leicester, Ange will be serenaded in the stadium and we'll be well clear of the relegation spots giving us vital momentum heading into the 2nd leg against Liverpool where we'll inevitably be crushed like a paper cup.
wont happen...I dunno why your clinging to this - Ange isn't up to this level. You cannot neglect the defence and expect to succeed in England ffs. We all know the real culprit is the bald goblin but, Ange is a woeful manager at this level.
I’m likely wrong but I can see us buying two players reasonably quickly now, and sticking with Ange until the summer for a few reasons.
- Unlikely to be relegated regardless
- Unlikely to do anything in the league now, just too late
- No managers available now, Mason really isn’t an improvement
- Sticking with ange and buying two players shows we tried to back our manager, which makes us a little more appealing for the next mug
The disgusting thing about a certain fanbase here is the turning against one's fellow purely because of disagreement on the manager. It's actually really disgusting.
Rumours of an agreement with Terzic?
