We need a proper manager who come with a team of proper, experienced coaches. For a club the size of spurs that should be a given.

We genuinely have one of the worst manager in the entire league, and we’ve let him conjure up a bunch of randoms for our coaching staff. Jedinak coaching a team full of top level internationals, really?

We are utterly fucked until Ange fucks off, I’m sure of it.
 
Everything has been said already. Fix the immediate problem now by changing managers and then stay focused on Levy. I live half way around the world but I'd be attending any ENIC out event if I lived near London.

Watch the video, Ange is being very manipulative. Getting prickly about how everyone is criticising the players and yet he is the one spending the whole presser deflecting attention away from himself and talking only about the players.

The journalists even try changing the topic.He's asked about whether he can turn things around when the injured players are back, and he literally says 'I'm not talking about me' and then diverts the conversation back to the players and the bullshit narrative he has invented! His final trick is to suggest that any criticism is part of some grand conspiratorial agenda. If he was half as good at managing a team as he is at gaslighting an audience we would be winning the league.

Quite the achievement considering he was the one that barely rotated prior to all the injuries.

He never takes responsibility. It's always someone else's fault or just bad luck.

The performances aren't his fault, the injuries aren't his fault, the small squad isn't his fault.

You don't see this attitude from real winners and real leaders of men.

Must’ve watched a different presser.
He supported the players and said take the criticism out on him, not the players.
 
Any sense of positivity with regards to this manager and the rest of season has well and truly gone.

I don't think Ange has got it in him to turn this around, for me I still look back at that week where we lost to Everton & Leicester. I get there are injuries but those two sides we should have picked up something. There are clearly are few issues at the club which need to be resolved.

The only positive is I do like so many of our players and I think they've been run into the ground in more ways than one. So many talented young players who I feel we are not getting the best out of.

We're low in the league, injury & confidence hit side - no new manager is really going to want to take over right now and I don't really want Ryan Mason again as he is probably part of the problem.
 
He's really blaming the players now. Saying how amazing they've been is really a way of saying t

Anyone buying into his current persona as the great player defender, you may have missed this one. Minute 3:30 onwards

Yea, and the way he goes on about how the players try so hard, and he's so proud, he obviously don't mean it. Because nobody ever questioned the players. But he makes the players the problem, all the time. Like it is them who are questioned for his absolute joke tactics. Trying to come across like the hero when he's really a coward who won't take any responsibility.
 
He’s here for the season I reckon. No point changing another manager 18 months into their stint. Especially given the injuries.

Probably we change in the summer if there is no uptick in form. If we do so, hopefully in May rather than August.

I do still have recollections of Gross and it felt like this, inept. On top of it the football was boring. But I’m bored by losing every match so there’s no real difference in that regard. The ppg is a better reflection I think. Tim Sherwood boasted of having our best win percentage and yet was a terrible manager. We wouldn’t want him back because of it.

This season in isolation Ange has a worse PPG than Gross but overall he doesn’t. First ten games innit.

The eye test obviously Gross is worse. But Ange is still levels of dog shit.

Injuries or not, they don’t know what they are supposed to be doing, are lost and hiding.

Klaus Klaus post last night highlighted the tactical problems from the off and in fairness it could have been a photo from any one of 40 odd games under this manager. It’s always the same.
