I must say his points are not entirely invalid, but my very big gripe with him is despite what he always say, he actually acted differently most of the time and I am too lazy to list them anymore. But it was at the end I couldn't take it that he listed Mr Hindsight in his arguments when he was very much a Mr Excuses for far far far too many times... FFS.

However, why do I feel Levy and the higher management are buying into his sweet talks and that really really terrifies me,

You only need to go back to the last game to see numerous Mr Hinsights come out of the woods, the ones saying Van den Ven shouldn't have been subbed.

The justification for their reasoning seems to be that a highly-random and diabolicaly bad mistake led to a goal after VdV was subbed.

Like the Manager is supposed to keep our best defender on for the full game in his first match back after recovering from lengthy mutliple absences due to recurrent injuries on the off-chance that something ridiculous happens at 2-0 up with team of players that really should be good enough to see the game through?

Really?

And theres this:

"What was he saving him for?"

Fucking Frankfurt, that's what.

Fucking hell, the state of this prick. Worst Spurs season in decades and he's saying shit like this. He's an insufferable prick. Just fuck off.

What a load of rubbish from Ange. I would've had some sympathy for him if he had some kind of self awareness but he's just so arrogant and deluded. You don't need to be Mr Hindsight to see that the positions of the fullbacks are ridicolously high, that the midfield more often than not is a mess and that our wingers bar maybe Odobert is not suited playing that wide. We have seen that game after game and we will continue to see it in our games ahead. If there were any hopes of him adapting it's fully gone now. He really seems to bury his head in the sand and not even acknowledge that his methods could be at fault.

Worst thing is, a lot of people are actually buying into this shit. "Oh he speaks so well", no he doesn't he has just gone full David Brent again. Regardless, it doesn't really matter how well he speaks when the football he plays is constantly garbage.

I can't see any way he would leave voluntarily. He's got a team with good young talent and he will want to rebuild his reputation next season, not to mention the financial aspects. I can't imagine any manager in his situation would be trying to leave. Where would he go? He's an older coach coming off a poor season.

This is his FIRST job on BIG money. He’s not leaving 10 Million quid for the next two years on the table - and in fairness, none of us would either - He’s going nowhere voluntarily…

Sounds like a man who, is getting his excuses in before he is fired in the summer.

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.

Not just the last but also the second half of the CL final season too.
 
I’m amazed anyone can even still listen to him, the master of using thousands of words to say sod all.

He’s getting to that Brendan Rogers level of having a portrait of himself in his hallway.
 
Fantastic, honest statements by the great man.
I'm looking forward to him bringing success to THFC.
I love the new players he has brought in and the way we try to play football when everyone is fit.
 
I don't have any problem with his rant, you want the manager to believe in themselves and not be a shrinking violet.

But if we don't see performances and results on the pitch then it's all bluster. If he were as good as he thinks he is, we wouldn't have lost 18 games already this season.

We've had winter injury crises in both his seasons here and we have had horrendous results against top half teams in both his seasons too. He still has everything to prove and only has a few games left to do it.
