That wouldn't be fair. Would it?

Manager Ange Postecoglou
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Eventually, sure - but at the back end of the season he had 5 wins against teams, besides us, with pretty much nothing to play for - I dunno- they were pretty unimpressive considering the squad they had and still managed some shocking results for them in their last 10 games - losing 5-0 to arsneal, 2-2 with Sheff United and Burnley.
I saw nothing to suggest he would be doing any better than Maresca
I think you're right. At Celtic Postecoglou often brought players off at 60 minutes in order to maintain the pace game to game (according to the BBC article that quoted a staffer there). Playing 90 minutes at one tempo isn't practical in the Premier League. And if you're a player thinking about where to transfer, do you want to play for a manager who might end your career early. Van de vyn is a good example. How many more hamstring injuries can he sustain?
In fairness they are building something that lasts.. Because the butchering of our reputation as the weeks go on, whilst we remain idle is damage that screws us for the forseeable.
And before the misery wank brigade pile in with "what reputation?".. We were in the super league.. However, much we may have hated it.. We were considered an elite enough name to be in that. We got in the room with the likes of Mourinho and Conte..
We may have been mocked.. But we were mocked because we were percieved as a big club that constantly underachieves.. We are witnessing in real time our reputation turn from being a big club worth mocking. To being an afterthought. A small insignificance. No hopers. No potential.
Delusion might be the only way you could ever see a way for this club to break the loop and win things.
If you accept what’s “realistic” we may as well just accept our fate as permanent also fans.
Whats the chances as soon as that transfer windows slams shut levy has a change of heart and decides its best for Ange to leave.....
I’m not sure he is as astute as people say he is.
Overcooked naming rights deal, those deals no longer in vogue
Stadium late ( happens)
Stadium massively over budget ( happens but this is area of supposed expertise)
Not being willing to spend to consolidate top 4 when very much in pole position
Has spent god knows how much in poaching managers
Spent a lot more in comp for sacking managers
Same story on poaching and firing DOFs
For every Bale , Brebatov and Modric there are way more NDombele, Lo Celso and Bentleys
175k a week for Werner (twice just lol)
If we finish 15th instead of 5th that’s 31 million loss on Prem money alone ( excl loss of CL )
He has bled the fans dry to enrich himself and the odious Lewis admittedly , not genius or clever just cynical and greedy
Well that is my opinion of his business acumen at least .
thing is if we win that one and avoid the extra 2 matches in the playoffs, then we are down to much more manageable levels of games. With players coming back too.
It's the only thing I can think of. I really dont think theres a buyer in the offing. Levy is hanging on for NFL or Super Lg and huge cash out then
Levy must have taken a blow (or several) to the head lately. Only thing that explains it.
The Cult of #Ange must be stopped now he is NOT the Messiah
Spurs finished the game v Leicester with a lower XG than 38 year old Jamie Vardy
Spurs last 20 games - 13 Losses
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH #AngeOut before it’s to late

8 wins in last 10... il take that every day of the week!
Definitely hijacked by fans of other clubs. Every Tweet I look at regarding this fat fraud is full of Spurs fans saying he needs to go.

I wonder if this is the case. Levy has gone behind the back of each of our managers for a replacement except with Conte where I think he wasn’t expecting to sack him yet. There’s no way he hasn’t done this with Ange given our lowly position. My working theory is that Levy would have sacked Ange already but is having difficulty finding someone who wants the job.
Fuck me...
AVB not worth sticking with...
Poch wasn't worth sticking with...
Mourinho wasn't worth sticking with...
Nuno, 8 games was it, pretty meh but better than this, not worth it though...
Conte not worth sticking with...
But oh no, don't risk rocking the boat by sacking the worst Manager in the club's PL history.
The whole point is rocking the boat, no?
We can’t say that we want Levy to break the cycle and then complain when he does.
I have no time for his football decisions at all but we did ask him to stick it out with a manager.
Yes absolutely building something lasting in the championship.
Came here to be talked off the roof
Leaves to find a higher building
Levy has been asked to do a lot of things by a lot of people.
Martin Jol asked him not to sell Michael Carrick or Dimitar Berbatov.
Harry Redknapp asked him for Tevez and Cahill.
Poch asked for new furniture.
Levy does what he wants.
Not sacking Ange, until the window is closed, will be justifiable and the cheapest option.
That is what I expect.
Levy is not reacting to a situation.
He has set up a situation that needs to be reacted to.
This is ENIC and Levy's standard M.O.

BBC website is running a poll asking who is at fault at Spurs.
Ange only: 12%
Levy: 34%
Ange and Levy: 32%
Injuries: 21%
Not sure of the number of votes but assume it's fairly sizable given the BBC website popularity.

It's incredibly on brand for Levy to back the least qualified least able most mentally brittle coach we have ever hired. Fire him and let the manager of the women's team take the team for the remainder of the season.
