I think if he isn’t sacked today then we are stuck until we’re out of the Europa in a month or so.

If they keep him until the end of the season I think season ticket renewals could take a battering.

If he is here next season somehow then I hope a pigeon follows Levy around for the rest of his life shitting on his head once a day
 
I've come to the conclusion that if we were to get 6 or 7 players back from injury, plenty of rest between games, Ange would still wheel out all the excuses after a further run of losses and continued stage fright

Not match fit mate. Only having 1 game a week is hindering their recovery.

Seriously its like the end of last season and start of this didnt happen. We wasted an easyish start to this season upto and including Ipswich. We had a fully fit side and we were 10th because it was largely win one lose one.
 
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.
There were two Villa players behind Porro in the first minute when they scored. It’s so blindingly obvious how to get in behind us.

And blatantly clear we aren’t working on stopping it.
 
Let’s get rid of Ange now , this very second . It will likely be Mason yet again but we should try and get some defensive shape for the EL .Then at the end of the season we can reassess , be rebuffed by all the decent managers and Levy can fuck it up yet again. We can then sack the new guy after the 26 World Cup , rehire Poch . Poch can then carry the club on his back for a few years before Levy fucks him with no transfers for two windows . Poch will throw a wobbly and Levy will sack him , this scenario seems inevitable to me as Levy is incapable of learning from his mistakes.

It’s Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil is predicting that ENIC’s tenure will be a further 25 years longer than we had hoped for.
 
Ange is the Trump of football managers. Believes he is great but is really shit.


The fact he is still talking about an injury crisis is a joke. Apart from a very young Mikey Moore none of our other youngsters have really had a kick this season. On top of that they only recalled one youngster who they have to keep at the club because he played him in a game.
 
Was thinking about my previous post , can anyone think of any instances from a football perspective where Levy has shown an aptitude to learn from his mistakes . I’m not talking about law of averages eventually getting something right

He has had 35 years in the business and 25 years with us so the list should be very extensive . I’ll start us off

Assuming he isn't sacked and we somehow get off the injury merry go round, what could be the excuses. My prediction:
- We haven't had the opportunity to embed the system within our returning player group. The off season will help us.
- Confidence within the group has taken a hit this season, there is a lot of external negativity that the players are having to deal with. I've always said if you have a problem then direct it at me.
- We need to manage the team and make sure we don't take any chances with the squad, Solanke was always coming off at 80 minutes. Being 1 goal down at Ipswich tonight was irrelevant.
 
Porro is mate. Look at his positioning first goal. Way too forward. Kinsky made a bad error but porro positioning is atrocious. Way too forward. Wingers are way too isolated as well and about 2 yards too apart from centre forward. It's too open. Position of players is borderline amateurish. Asking for trouble as playing a right back at left back. Straight away unbalanced team.
His positioning is where the fabled "double inverted fullback" is supposed to be though.

Our problems are so repeated, so often, there's no way it's just brainfarts from individuals.
 

My thoughts are that one month from now, when we're 17th in the league, out of the Europa, with an almost fully fit squad, the interviews will go something like...

Q. Ange mate, you're shit, probably the worst Spurs manager of the Premier League era, why are you so shit, and do you plan to do anything to try and not be so shit?

Ange. Don't you dare criticise these players mate, they're heroes mate, you want to come after me with your agendas then fine but don't you dare criticise these players...

:ange-confused:
 

You get freak injuries in a season, like Dom doing his knee or Radu getting an ACL from an awkward landing. But the sheer number of muscular injuries and hamstrings are clearly from the way we train and play, coupled with a lack of recovery.

He’s running them all to the ground literally.

The squad isn’t big enough, Gray, Bergvall, Moore, these guys should be in addition to the 25 main players NOT the main 25. That’s on ENIC.

But the pressure put on our defenders is why they are all fucking dropping. And that’s on Ange.
 
To anyone saying "no point getting rid now"


Let me give you the perfect analogy.
You have an agonising toothache. Insane in the brain pain.
You go to the dentist and he/she/they say:
"that tooth is finished, nothing can save it. It's going to take us 3 months to make and fit a false tooth once that ones out......we can pull it now to relieve the pain but you'll have a gap"

GIVE ME THE FUCKING GAP.
