Manager Ange Postecoglou

When it gets to the point a manager is dividing the fan base it's time for him to go.
“What else is he supposed to say” has entered the room.
Fuck Porro and his opinion. I want to hear from Jonathan Blondel.
No, managing PSG was - which he got straight after Spurs no?
The man in the high castle has already determined the improvements in this transfer window isn't possible.
It must feel like you haven't had a wank for ages and you're able to finally spunk your load.
No cup is worth the mess Ange Postecoglou has made of this team and the awful football his system produces.
I have just binged all 4 seasonsThe man in the high castle has already determined the improvements in this transfer window isn't possible.
I'm half convinced nobody in it is actually a "baddie"
Unlike Levy. He's a dick.
Probably. We aren’t bad for managers careers really.
Unless we win a couple of cups though, Ange will be lucky to be hired by any club in the top leagues though. He will be the guy who led us to the worst season in years & years, and he doesn’t have the CV of a Conte.
That show had me half feeling sorry for Obergruppenfuhrer Smith. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Won’t owners remember “those 10 games” and run around lauding a “high ceiling, low floor” style of football?
Surely?
It was probably my list, but my point was managing Spurs isn't the career suicide some on here have convinced it is, nothing about how well they're doing in said post-Spurs employment.
Jose was already on the decline, and after us he still got a decent Serie A job for a bit.
It absolutely is
He still won a trophy after leaving us, with us being the only blot in his resume.
He’s at the end of his career but he wasn’t properly backed was he. It’s a recurring theme.
This is where Alistair Gold got the comment he said on Ally and Gold from then but I can also say this does not disprove that the injuries are related to training and the lack of fitness work. It just says they do not over train. On top of that the way Ange plays where he expects everything at a break neck speed and his main way of creating chances when we are good is a high number of turnovers because of the intensity of our press can also contribute just as much to our injuries.
I am not saying it is but we are right to question it.
What do you expect any player to say? He's never going to say anything negative and throw the manager under the bus in an interview with Ally Gold.
It amazes me that people actually hold up articles like that as anything other than what they are, PR guff. I bet you'd get a much different answer if you were Porro's or any other players mate and asked him privately.
Also depends on who you ask. Porro might think it's fine, (he's not been injured). VDV might think training is a mess.
I think instead of reading what Spurs players are saying in public interviews, it's better to actually look at the evidence. Spurs are way out in front with hamstring injuries compared to all other PL clubs. That strongly suggests there is a major problem with Ange's work. Especially when you also consider that he admits his training causes issues, and it happened at his previous clubs. Either that, or Spurs have been so unfortunate two seasons running with injuries just coinciding with Ange arriving...hmmmm.
Anyway as far as I am concerned, the injuries aren't the major issue. It's Ange's appalling tactics and management and coaching. Even if we were to put the injuries down to a freak unlucky two seasons running event, he should be sacked for loads of other issues anyway. The whole injuries and who is to blame is just a diversion and distraction.
Even Amorim was told he had to join untied when they went in for him and that the job wouldn’t be there in the summer. He rightly wanted to wait. I bet he wished he’d have stuck to his guns.
So managers will move if their clubs are compensated for sure. They can’t risk missing out. If they fail at the big clubs it isn’t like they aren’t rewarded with another job anyway. Once they are on the managerial gravy train they don’t want to get off or else it’s hard to get back on if you’re out the game a few years.
I thought the bolded bit very telling. A lot of contentious players do extra but we’ve got to wonder if the other who have been injured are or if they are having to get more help externally because they aren’t getting it from within the club.
he might be at Teams like Std Liege, Ghent, Young Boys, Salzburg
