It makes me very angry that he gets a free pass for our worst league performance in 20-30 years while the faint hope of EL glory suspends the disbelief of many.

Stuff the League : whether we finish 17th or 12th only matters because there’s a few million either way ;
Ange isn’t a manager to take us anywhere in this league (clearly) ; but as the planets have aligned we
COULD actually win the Europa ; and so Ange could depart with a star on his CV and make a few people in North LNDN and beyond happier in the process . What’s wrong with hoping for that to happen
( in that order, of course ) .

Where am I comparing them Rooster??? I'm merely pointing out that people here are forgetting how bad the football was in Poch's final season. It was on a par with the same shit we've seen this season. Did Poch achieve more at Spurs than Ange has so far? No question he did but let's not pretend his sacking wasn't warranted and let's not pretend he won silverware because he didn't. I'm not knocking Poch. He made us relevant but I personally don't want him back. It rarely works second time around.

Poch was 3-5-4 (12th) before getting sacked and we passed through UCL group stage and still got fired.......

Winning the Europa wont remove the questions Ange will need to answer going forward. People are losing sight of why he's here in the first place.

Ange was signed by the club to rebuild the team from basically scratch. in a progressive performance project. With the intention of in a handful of years having a title winning team.

If he wins the Europa it may very well be decided that the project ultimately had a short term success. However Anges part in the project has reached its ceiling.

How is he going to improve on the previous two seasons? How is he going to rectify the problems and improve and fix those issues etc. Maybe it's decided that someone else is better placed for the next stage of this project.

Ultimately supporters should not forget what was started and promised. That was to over time build a trophy winning team.

If the management isn't confident enough in Ange to spend the very large sums that were always going to be needed to make the final stage a success. They need to find someone they will be confident with.

They cannot forever be in a cycle of knock-down and rebuild. And I think that is why Ange will last at least until the end of EL. The management wants an orderly process and not another botched knock down job.

I think people are jumping the gun in a massive way re: the Europa and us winning the thing.
 
Wonder if there's a chance Ange goes quietly during the international break.

If we actually did go all the way in the Europa but Levy has seen enough and wants someone new next season, he has a problem. Not a new problem either - Mourinho's sacking ahead of the LC final was done to prevent us having to keep him if he won something, and of course Man Utd had the same problem with Ten Hag after he won the FA Cup.

imagine waking up to the news of Ange being sacked over the weekend.. and theres a buzz… because Pochettino has been spotted at the airport. He’s driving into the training ground. He declares he has unfinished business at Spurs. Immediately raises the banners and casts out the rot. Puts himself back at the rightful head of the table. The positivity. The energy. Got us thinking about 2016-2019 all over again. Even his last year at Spurs was a million times better than this shit.

Investment. Some real big name signings. Immediately changes the energy of the club. The players. We finally have our leader back. The excitement. We need this.

It can and will happen.

It might, after the next world cup. And that means no preseason for him.

Honestly this was like reading a male version of Fifty Shades of Grey for spurs supporters :ledleylick:

Aw he is plenty ready- but needs to have minutes and appearances carefully managed to help maximize his potential without damaging him.

Unfortunately Ange- due to his poor management- is in no mindset to play youngsters- he’s desperate to save his job. Moore is secondary to that unfortunately.

With Will Lankshear (19), Mikey (17), Damola Ajayi (19), Dane Scarlett (20) and now Wilson (20) all having scored for us in the Europa League this season, we are now the first side since European competitions began to see five players under the age of 21 find the back of the net in a single season

Alonso wants to come to Spurs?

If that were true it would be the shortest shortlist ever.
