Should have done it months ago and there would have been a good chance that we could have got a European spot for next season via the league.

Coulda woulda shoulda

If we win tonight then fuck it, let him see what they can do for the next round.

Personally I’m more worried by winning things than qualifying for things.

Ange arrived with no Europe, qualified and now we let him see if he can complete the journey.

Was the same with Conte.

At least the next coach can see evidence that if they qualify for competitions, they will at least get a chance to win them.

Llorente will go down as one of our most underrated recruitments.

Limited minutes, past his best by date, still contributed to winning games with required.

I also think that he was a unsung locker room leader with his experience as a player and champion. He set an example that the rest could replicate.

You want to make a bet we won’t win tonight?

I am 100% confident we won’t win, how about a wager? £1000?

Plus, let's be honest, he was quite the specimen. I'm pretty certain my wife used to emit a sort of feral purr whenever he jogged on to the pitch.
 
I can't believe it's been about 16 months now since I said Ange is out of his depth, and yet he is still here, stinking the place out and we are losing games left right and centre.

I have to question the board, and what the fuck they actually want this club to do? Is there no ambition to win a trophy? Because if there was, he should have been sacked and replaced before Christmas when we were till in 3 comps.

It was obvious to anyone with any football brain, that we simply weren't good enough under Ange to win a trophy, but instead the club decided to just sit and do nothing, and let it all play out as many of us said it would.

I said it about the other cups, and I said it about Europe, we have no chance of winning this. Last week in Holland showed everyone how shit we are, and they are a championship level team.

Just like against Tamworth, there is no level of team we can play under Ange, who basically doesn't embarass us. Wether it's Coventry, Rangers, Tamworth or Alkmaar we stink the place out every single time.

Yet he's still here? It's unbelievable.

Make no mistake, he should be sacked moment the final whistle goes tomorow and we exit another trophy, but even if we do win, he should still be sacked. He should have been sacked before the first tie.

Just give the fucker the boot and let's all move on. I don't even want to watch out games and haven''t for months. Ange has sucked all the life out of this club with his fraudulent ability and non existent tactics.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in Levy's office this season, to really understand what type of conversations he was having having with other execs, and how close Ange was to getting sacked as we limped from disaster to disaster. What was the reasoning for not sacking him? Probably a lack of alternatives.

I can only imagine it'll be an end of season review in May and he's gone then, if it isn't before.

But he's genuinely survived so much this season, I don't know what else it will take if it isn't exiting Europe. He's basically become the unsackable. Despite overseeing the worst results and performances in modern Spurs history, the cunt still has a job. Unreal. I don't even know how he makes eye contact with anyone at the club, he should be ashamed.

I will dance the day he is sacked, it's only about a year overdue. Thanks Levy.

I remember seeing an interview with him - before the final - where he said he had lost to Barca in a European final coming on as a sub for Juve and then didn’t even get to play for Sevilla in a Europa league final.
After his decisive goal against city and his performance in Amsterdam he felt it was his destiny to play in the CL final for Spurs.

He then got 10 minutes at the end after watching Harry Kane jog around the pitch.

Poor bastard.

Levy probably thought 5th last season was ok for Postecoglou as the new manager, then this season he bought into the injury excuse.

There's probably little to no point in sacking him before the end of the season for the reason you gave that I quoted above,

I mean the long term health of our players is certainly a good enough reason to get rid of him.

These are not injuries caused by the medical team, some can be put on the physios. But given the over abundance on muscular injuries the big blame has to be put at the feet of the man that is in charge of how we play and how we train.
