Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I reckon Pep will go at the end of the season.
Don't under estimate Chelsea in the sack race too. Won 2 of their last 5 and been pretty poor since they "entered the title race" before Christmas.
Peps not going out like this luckily. I hear he wants another tilt. Wants Wirtz ( Bayern favorites) and are you sitting comfortably...Saka!!!' 😃 😊 😀 So let's hope they keep him. Mascara will also get another go at it. Iraola could wait it out but there's talk we might consider Alonso so he'd have that to consider. If we ride out this season we are in a good position to approach a decent coach early.
 
So bleedin' obvious. We all have goals in life which in a perfect world, would go to our plan. But realists know that this rarely happens and you have to adjust accordingly.

See you and Archie Archie very logically point out how obvious it is but....for months the queue of posters on here throwing heat maps at me and saying "But it's just bad luck ☹️ innt" was very very deep!!!!
 
Wonderful post.

Especially love the last paragraph about managerial change not necessarily being destabilising.

And besides, if after nearly two full seasons the manager is presiding over the worst fucking results and form in living memory than surely a bit of destabilising is exactly what we need.
It is not as if we are stable now and will lose that if a new manager is brought in.
 
Just had to "shout" at Barnaby on his live youtube channel.

Yet another misguided comment about giving Ange time based on Fergie.
I pointed out that Fergie took over a Man United side in Nov 1986 that was 19th, and lost 8 out of 29 remaining league games getting them to 11th. His loss ratio was 27% that season.
What was Ange's last season? 12/38 = 31.6%
Fergies 2nd season at United - finished 2nd. P40 L5 = LR = 12.5%
Here's where it gets very, very interesting folks.

Fergies 3rd season. The one where many say he was struggling and facing the sack. P38 L 13 = LR 34.2% - only marginally worse than NoClue last season.
AND it gets wilder folks. MUCH Wilder. Man United nearly sacked him for losing 13 from 38 games.
This season we have already lost 13 games from 24. Our loss ratio is currently 54.1%

So for the love of facts, evidence, and fucking sanity, can you all stop holding Fergie's "struggles" up as a reason to back this and other useless cunts.

Imagine comparing Alex fucking Ferguson to Ange. Fucking hell

We need to be in the PL still, ideally.

It's also a no lose scenario for Postecoglou. Next season he will be credited with pulling Spurs back up. He won't even have to make Champion's League. His fans will say, "He's taken up from 15th to 8th, isn't he wonderful?"
I see what you're saying, as far as Post goes though with his fans he can't seem to lose no matter what, they'll shine his rim for taking us to a top 20 finish...

But you can't compare him and prospective successors in terms of the "no-lose scenario" thing, because it's not a case of asking him if he'd like to leave/stay, it's entirely beyond his control once the Jedi mind trick on Levy wears off. Whereas potential replacements can look at it and say no thanks.

The question any Chairman should ask himself with any new manager each quarter of a season should be:

Am i seeing any progress that I was told would be a priority to fix, by the new manager?

I think if Levy asked himself this (and i am sure he has) then whether Anger has been here 6, 12, or 18 months Levy has to see that the team is only going one way. Inti the shitter.

Chairman of European clubs, especially in Italy take no prisoners.

I have watched a lot of Italian football over the past three or four seasons, and seen many managerial changes, and the vast majority of those changes have improved those clubs.

Conte I have to say, has been a revelation, and the football he has Napoli playing is nothing like we witnessed at Tottenham. I just don't get how he can manage two clubs so diversely different and make one title contenders in such short amount of time.

By the way McTomanay is playing like a World beater, a player we should have gone and got from United.
 
Mick, it’s a daft, over the top article that is appealing to emotion rather than common sense.

No one is criticising the youngsters or faulting the effort and application of the players. This is a strawman, largely fabricated by Ange, to deflect from seeing his time at Spurs in the whole. He wants us to focus on the trees and miss the woods.
actually no - he wants people to start recognising the causal issues and stop doing what knee jerkers always do and call for wholesale changes and start sacking people
 
I have to say that if I can't watch a game in the flesh, I don't tend to go down the pub to see away games, and give myself a day off from the worry and fretting. If it's good, will catch the highlights on Spursplay. I don't know why but I find myself restless and fidgety watching 90+ minutes on TV, and don't start me off on the pundits and commentators.

I have the FotMob app a true gem of a football app, would highly recommend it.

When I am over here in the States and have the game on live FotMob notifies me for goals, pens etc

But it runs around thirty seconds behind the live game as does the TV stream, meaning that when i get a notification of a goal, the actual play is still in the build up on the TV stream.

This is the bollocks as I now when a goal is incoming before it's scored.

United are gonna cry over that one for a long time. A player they perennially said was too shit to start for them. I always liked him and couldn't believe they wouldn't just give him an extended run of games to help settle. It can only have happened because they have no idea what they are doing with regards to player development.

In the States, most games are live on USA and Peacock. Peacock is cheap and USA is usually free....I think..!
