Give up. You've got nothing.
When last week I posted actual points per game stats (you know - facts) you had nothing to say for that.
When today I pointed out that Spence played just 4,7% of minutes in EPL while Udogie was struggling for form - you've got nothing relevant to say about it (just some subjective opinions in your head). And then my posts are emotional. Sure. Sure thing :D

Why are you trying to force people to agree with you you weirdo, leave him be if he wants to believe in the manager then so be it.

This thread is hella weird, it's as if there's some sort of hard and fast rule everyone needs to adhere to of how to support this football club.
 
I think the only reason he's still here is because we are struggling to find a replacement, he doesn't want to give it to Mason again because the optics are just terrible.

Levy was hoping Ange would turn it around with Everton and Leicester, two easier games, and Ange has well and truly shat the bed.

Now what has become reality is Levy's worst nightmare. Keeping Ange has become practically untenable, but it's easier to give out PR bluff that they continue to back him and want to make a signing or two, rather than sack him because then it all comes to Levy.

With Ange in the post, there is a bit of a buffer which Levy can hide behind.

I refuse to believe they actually think Ange is the man to lead us to success. Impossible. They surely can't be that incompetent.

My main worry about Ange not being sacked, besides relegation, is that there is always a very small chance he manages a few wins, or does just enough to keep his job and we remain with this clown in charge for any longer. There is always a chance if he's not sacked, that Levy and the club do actually somehow think this fraud is the man to lead us to success. That scares me.

I can't believe they can watch us on the pitch and not have the realisation that Ange is useless. Just wtf are they even watching?

So out of all the myriad of reasons I want Ange sacked, I want the possibility that the club actually believes in him to be removed. We just have to get this clown out of the club.

We will get absolutely battered at Villa and Liverpool and Brentford. I guess those are now the games we are waiting for is actually mental. He should have gone months ago and it's just got worse and worse.

I actually cannot believe what we are watching happen to our club and Levy is doing fuck all about it. Sack the fucker now. It's simple to anyone with an idea of football that his tactics are pathetic and the cause of all these defeats.

actually just looking into it Ange has the highest net spend of any spurs coach relative to his time here, solanke and vdv as you mentioned. But also maddison, johnson, vicario and dragusin. Along with a bunch of expensive teens.

then remember that jose got alot of junk in his time, none of it expensive, gedson, vinicious, Rodon, Doherty, Bergwjin, Hojbjerg.
Conte a bunch of free transfers, lenglet, Fraiser, perisic, danjuma. Along with oppurtinistic buys in kulu, bentancur, bissouma. only really porro and richarlison did the club stretch out

Even poch had to make do and work miracles with alot of cheaper players until after the CL final .

I think Ange has been backed as well as any spurs manager if not better, which ultimately is is still poor because we leave every single manager short of options

Net spend means literally nothing though when that list is 3 players over 25 years of age in 2 seasons and one of those was the GK. Especialy when the wage bill has been slashed.

I'm old enough to remember when the story came out after Sarr and Udogie saying that thanks to the new stadium making us a financial powerhouse that we had a separate budget for young players like Sarr and Udogie and the first team spend was protected... Now we count teenagers from much less intense league like Bergvall and Yang as first team spends.

My main worry about Ange is how many of our players careers we will wreck.

We were in a good position this summer to push on for CL qualification with the right signings. Now I'm worried how may of our starting 11 are finished.
 
If we lose to Brentford, which I think most all would agree is likely, it will be 1 point from 8 games.

Presumably, back in 2008, all of the Ange-inners were clamouring for Juande Ramos to be given more time? He had won us a cup after all, and was in the middle of a painful rebuild having had Keane and Berbatov sold from under him?

With the TW shut at the time too, clearly there was no way a new manager could come in and do better immediately.

There's a post in the tactical thread, which explains the tactical issues we faced against Leicester; which was brilliant.
I completely agree with you. Ange is clueless and inept at his job.
 
The only reason ange is still here is because any manager the club have sounded out about bringing in are just not interested in taking over right now,and frankly I don’t blame them if it’s the case.

But you look at our salaries and we're on par with West Ham.

We pay fees but skimp on wages. We buy a fairly nice mid range petrol SUV, so it's nicer and shiner than a ford fiesta but then we fill the tank with diesel.

I think Ange should be doing much better with what he has but he's still limited in what he's been given.

I’ll be amazed if we beat Brighton.

Considering Micky and Romero were injury prone to begin with, Ange's negligence has possibly affected the level, in which they could play at in the future.
Worst manager we have ever had at Spurs, mainly due to his incompetence at the very principles of player management.
