I think you're right. What does Levy get from firing Postecoglou now? I think he's ignoring the problem and running out the clock. The fans still appear to not want a change by about a 2-1 margin. So, looks like another season for Postecoglou.
I think Levy thinks we're too good to go down and, that having a few injured players back, we're immune from it.
Wait until the summer, see if any major turn arounds occur, if not, sack him then.

The problem with this is many
Fans losing interest.
Club becoming less appealing than ever for next manager and new players
The genuine threat of players never fully returning from injury leaving us genuinely at threat of relegation
A negligent coach causing a career ending injury to a player due to overuse/returning too soon
 
Disgrace and embarrassment keeping thus failure but honestly fcuk it. Stay up and I have little doubt we will and Captain Pugwash or David Brent could be at the helm.

I think the club might be in the midst of being sold or there is already an agreement in place with someone for next season.
 
I've read similar things about how he doesn't take an active part in training. And instead prefers to observe.

Not that he sits in his office, but he keeps his distance and sits on the sidelines.
Players say he isn’t friendly with them, doesn’t talk directly to them one on one and that he’s not on the training pitch. And obviously doesn’t do tactical work. Radu and Dier interviews have been very similar.

No chance.
They're just ignorantly unaware as to how bad things really are. They've bought the injury excuse hook line and sinker. They're as delusional as some of the posters on here.
Which terrifies me. Because if that's true, they'll probably throw another £100m at him in the summer and it'll all happen the same way again.

A head coach not being super involved in day to day training in and of itself is not that unusual. Pochettino, Mourinho and Ferguson are all known to take this approach.

The difference being that they all have long established coaching staffs that know their boss' tactics and system and how to implement it. So the manager can focus on planning for the next game and evaluating training rather than leading it.
 
He did rotate very aggressively in EL though

Yes, until some point he did.
And it also worked. I even had no problems letting Galatasaray game slide. It was not a good performance, but to me it was OK. Cause he went with rotated side and gave some youth chance.

But like with very many working solutions, Ange decided to drop that take a different route.
Of crippling the same XI.

What a genius move. Weird he now rants about it, like it was not intentional.

Mate, I’ve seen countless videos with Poch and Jose on the training pitch. Conte too.

The calibre of our coaching staff (and clearly the loss of Chris Davies) is one of many of the problems that are now all culminating at the same time.

If he’s not hands on, he certainly has to now. In any managerial job, where the shit hits the fan you have to get stuck in.
 
This is the simple truth.

Think of every decent side Spurs have ever had and there was at least one stand out player in the middle.

McKay, Hoddle, Gascoigne, Modric, Davids, Eriksen, Dembele.

The sides that didn't have a central midfield player of that calibre were more often than not; bang average.

Having said all of that; Bentancur is the best we have at the moment in that position and he has got worse under Ange.

The majority of his performances have been tepid and half hearted.

At least he isn't pretending to be injured though.
liverpool played a weak midfield against plymouth and despite having diaz whos probably the best forward in the league right now, they looked pretty average didnt they. you need big players in the midfield its as simple as that, you also need a system that keeps the big boys in the actual midfield so they can have a huge say in the result of the game! theres a reason rodri never really leaves that heart of the pitch.
