There was disrespect shown to Ange to be fair but there's a whiff of unearned superiority from Ange that kind of grates on me.
He's a complete cock.
The thing that irritates me more than anything else is the utterly false idea that Ange is a nice guy. He's a preening, bullying dickhead.
Yep.Exhibit A

Ange Postecoglou gave me the worst 16 hours of my life
Ryan McGowan, 33, found himself sat next to the newly-appointed Tottenham boss on a trip from Sydney to Dubai when Postecoglou was manager of the Australian national team.www.dailymail.co.uk
Yeah, because he can be 'redeemed' by that result...as bad as we are, United are worse and a win there can forestall any moves DL really doesn't want to make until summer...lose both and that may be a tipping point...
Doubt it. Any loss today and he is done I think. Timing is such that a week ahead will give them time to put someone in until next season. Yaya for me. If not Rafa.
Doesnāt that describe 90% of managers though? Youāve got to be a bit of an arrogant cock to do this job. If youāre not you get eaten alive.He's a complete cock.

I think yes. I think if they lose to United he's gone
it's a coin toss for me. on the one hand it's a good week to do it on the other there's nothing really left to play for and it's cheaper to keep him. if i had to bet i'd say he's gone if he loses today. i really do think it's needed. just can't take this endless drama surrounding this terrible manager. put us and him out of our misery and reset for what's next
"Cheaper to keep him"...??? That's not a reason....it's a coin toss for me. on the one hand it's a good week to do it on the other there's nothing really left to play for and it's cheaper to keep him. if i had to bet i'd say he's gone if he loses today. i really do think it's needed. just can't take this endless drama surrounding this terrible manager. put us and him out of our misery and reset for what's next
But he does.But again, he didnāt pretend to be something and then be something else.
Only reason he isnāt already gone is because of money imo.If we lose today, he needs to be gone tonight.
Should've been ditched straight after the Liverpool game. I can take losing at Anfield. I understand that. But what I cannot take is gutless performances like that.
People can be friendly most of the time, and lose their rag at other times. Donāt see any phoneyness at all. Was the same with Jose. Could be genuinely lovely sometimes, then a ginormous bullying prick at other times.But he does.
Every press conference. The āmateā routine. The pretending to not care. The bullshit interactions with fans.
Heās a complete phony.
Look, Iām just sick to the back teeth of his drivel. He should have been sacked twice over. Heās still here, with no hint of change on the horizon. My frustration is mainly with the club.
Mate watch any of his recent pressers and give it real thought if he is a ānice guyā. Watch his attitude to the City game last season. The man also thinks playing his way is more important than winning.Doesnāt that describe 90% of managers though? Youāve got to be a bit of an arrogant cock to do this job. If youāre not you get eaten alive.
I really donāt get the hate for him here. He can be grumpy and sarcastic after matches, but most of the time he talks really well and seems proud to represent this club.
Iād only be annoyed at him if he didnāt try to do what he said at the start. All he said to us and Levy is heās gonna try to do what heās done at his previous clubs - high energy, always attacking, never stopping. Thatās what heās tried to do. Is it working? No, thereās been too many issues with injuries and game management.
But again, he didnāt pretend to be something and then be something else. If he goes now or in the summer Iāll still have respect for him.
If we lose today, he needs to be gone tonight.

Is he a nice guy? I dunno. I dunno him or anyone at the club. Donāt really need him to be though as long as he represents the club well and most of the time he does. A lot of managers can be pricks after losses, Pep, Klopp, Jose, Fergie, theyāve all treated journos badly when grumpy. Really think people are trying to put things on him that are ridiculous.Mate watch any of his recent pressers and give it real thought if he is a ānice guyā.

Then his tactics have massive flaws shown everywhere but Scotland. Complete failure at the only World Cup he managed at, conceding 3 goals in each of his games. You just have to look many times we have conceded 3 or more goals in a game under Ange to realise how poor we defend under him. He has more than Conte and Mourinho tenures combined.
