If he isn’t sacked today I am genuinely done for the season.

I can’t stand the twat, I don’t think I have ever disliked a Spurs manager this much quite frankly, it feels like an injustice paying this man the money we do when he is such a con artist.

Sorry to see you go as I totally agree with you but we’re stuck with him until the Summer sadly

Thats what i find hilarious. We played once a week last year, had tons of injuries. Was that not the time to reassess?? Its a fucking shambles. To say it has nothing to do with the way we play is ridiculous

The man's a fool and half the clowns you were trying to teach the tactical basics to are even dumber. There were Celtic supporters here warning us what was coming from a way less competitive league when he arrived. And still the man thinks this is bad luck he's unbelievable stupid.

Settle petal. I’m allowed my opinion.
And why is it that because I joined the forum when Ange was signed makes my opinion less significant?
I’ve explained to many many before that I’ve been a casual Spurs supporter since the Gary Lineker days. My family is from London. Get off your pedestal ffs.

‘Casual’

WTF does that mean?

You’re either Spurs or you’re not!

No half measures!

Amazing comment and you wonder why a few on here have a go at you?
 
Sky Sports News digging him out a bit. Showing days lost this season from injuries up to end of January.

PL Average = 557 Days.

Woolwich = 648 Days
Palace = 652 Days
Ipswich =667 Days
Spurs = 783 Days
Brighton = 1020 Days.

Presenter saying Brighton have lost considerably more than Spurs, are higher up the table and implying they’re bleating less than Ange. Saying Ange stated “Nobody else could cope” but Brighton have haven’t they?

Maybe they’re getting fed up with him now as well.

They are. In part because he does invite it with the bravado and confidence with which he likes to present himself (and that's fair. Talk a bit game in a public facing job and you have to deal with being poked at). And also in part because Ten Hag is gone so now Ange is next in line.

I don't know if it was on here or on another forum but they linked a piece that made the point that it may also be a bit driven by "haha he talks funny and says mate a lot". Kinda like when the media went at Emery for his less than stellar English once he came over for his first run.

But Emery recovered and went right back to Spain and won his fourth Europa League and is now back doing well at Villa. So he's shut them up in a sense.

Yup, a graveyard for managers!

And if we are serious for a second. I wonder if the club has dug itself a hole so deep, we can't get out of it?

What great manager would want to come here now? Same with players.

I'm not feeling positive at all about the club going forward. The only thing we have left to attract managers/players with, are living in London, and money. And we all know our owner doesn't like to spray money around.

But that's the only route we have left it seems.

The only scenario i can see, is back to the 90's and midtable obscurity, unless we start spending big on wages.

Managers will still come

If you’re the manager of Bournemouth, Ipswich etc you’re coming

Any Spanish club outside the big 4, Dutch league etc they’ll all come

Only exception I think is some of the Italian clubs

The money on offer is just too much and curiously levy does pay managers very well …. It’s afterwards it all gets messy

What he doesn’t like doing is paying compensation to get the talent out of clubs which has definitely caused us bother in recent times … but actually managers wanting to come I genuinely don’t have a worry about this

imo he’s not gonna sack Ange til end of season he’s got good time to line up the right replacement without the previous clown show

Just my two cents worth

But what about who was out injured? If we lost both reguilon, Whitman and Forster for a whole season it would push those numbers up, but has zero baring on the team we are to put out.

Better stat would be to compare teams who haven’t been without regulars in the starting 11. Say Woolwich without raya, saliba and Gabriel. Or Newcastle without guimariues, isak and Gordon.

Fact is, we’ve played the bulk of a season (with a game every few days) in 4 competitions without the core of the team

How the fuck have Woolwich lost that many days to injury?

And why did they do January to January when the season starts in August?

I funnily enough think that we have a far easier time recruiting established managers with actual name value than some might think.

We are known to pay our managers quite well. And everyone knows about the title drought. For an established manager who's already won stuff and cemented himself, we are essentially a free hit. Fail to win something here and no one will care, but manage to break the drought and you write yourself into the history books.

Up and comers who are building their reputations however are probably more hesitant.
