Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

But pretty clear that right now ST holders and members have both decided Angeball is cooked. Voting with their feet. Levy won’t be happy.
Levy has allowed this reputational damage to really take hold of THFC this season.

It's all on him.

His appointment and his choice to continue with it; even when the most loyal of Spurs supporters were beyond defending it.

Levy has lost whatever luck or judgement he has stumbled his way through at Spurs with for 24 years.

The biggest decisions from Levy have been consistently poor.

The brief rally under Conte's management and Paratici's recruitment is all we have had to get hold of since the Autumn of 2019.

ENIC and Levy in particular are failing on an unprecedented level by their own shabby standards.

It's over.
 
Conte in 56 league games:

32 wins
9 draws
15 losses
112:64 goals
105 points total
1.88 per game

Ange in 67 league games:

30 wins
10 draws
27 losses
129:104 goals
100 points total
1.49 per game


Insane. Just absofuckinglutely insane. Conte picked up 5 points more in 11 games less.

You do think these rumours about investment must have some substance.

It’s been the total opposite of his usual MO to keep Ange this long.

Yep, the total apathy has gone beyond the abject manager at this point. Levy appointed him, should have acted months ago in sacking him and the rot has set in. Its all on Levy. I dont see how you can blame people for not being interested. What do we get to give fans a bit of hope, a terse statement from Levy telling us more of the same to come. In 50 years i've never cared less so cant point the finger at others.
 
I'd say the Europa is easier to win than either domestic cups. Not by a whole lot perhaps, but if you took the R16s (for example) in all three comps, on average the EL would I expect have the lowest team wage bills.

tbf:

- game is in easter hols
- we are shite right now (main factor)

We could easily sell this out were we playing a bit better.

We sold c55k tickets for all the previous EL games this season.

no chance, don't let premier league propaganda cloud your judgement.
 
He’s as passionate as a traffic cone on the sidelines at every match.
At least you can see a traffic cone. Ange is the sort of thing you run over as you didn't even note it.

Insane. Just absofuckinglutely insane. Conte picked up 5 points more in 11 games less.

And yet people turned on Conte. The man was dealing with deaths and health issues as well as a joke of a chairman and still managed to get us into the CL and left with us comfortably in the top 3.
AND PEOPLE TURNED ON HIM.

Utterly irrational how those same fans are still behind the current clown masquerading as a legit football manager.

I'd disagree for the reason that they're Thursday nights; Thursday Sunday Thursday is a real killer for PL teams (unless you've got a squad like Chavs currently do).

Good Spanish teams will be able to coast for much if not most of the season. Ditto French, German, Dutch, Portuguese. Italian too. Our only easy games since November have been Saints and Ipswich.

Even if we had serial Euro winner Unai E in charge I still wouldnt have us favourtites.
 
Europa is harder purely because Euro opponents see Prem opposition as a scalp and will always play beyond their abilities, and you don't know what to expect with some of these teams.

And he came in to a shit-fest with no pre-season.

To be honest, I feel dirty comparing the two. Postecoglou has no right being in the same sentence as Antonio Conte.

"This is the mentality of the club. For over 20 years there is this owner, and they win nothing...why?"

Unai was good in Spain when he was around mid table and could concentrate on Europe. Last season Villa should have walked the conference. Easily the best team in it but beaten by Olympiakos. When do Prem lge top 4 lose to the likes of Olympiakos in a knockout game. The reason was that they wanted champ lge top 4.
Going to have the same problem this season on 3 fronts.
 
Comparing Conte's time to Ange's time is such a pointless exercise, even when you remove the calibre of each manager.

Conte has the best striker in the league, along with a prime Son. Kane was the difference between us and where we are now if we're deeply honest. He won us matches on his own.


Ange isn't the answer. I wanted it to work, but it hasn't. To be honest I don't know who is anymore.

Iraola I like, but he'll need time, which as a fan base we're not very giving of. Silva I think we'll get the same treatment as Nuno, potentially Frank as well.

As for the Stutgart manager, a few loses and people will start moaning about his age and experience again. It's a tiring cycle.

Lol, fucking what?

In the mix for the FA cup you will have Liverpool, City and Woolwich. 3 clearly CL level teams. Even Villa are CL quarter finalists - beyond that you have a group of teams who are easily on a level with Frankfurt etc. Of course the FA cup is harder to win FFS.

To win the Europa League this season you don't have to face a single side who have dropped out of the premier competition, its a huge opportunity.

Ah, but we play better football now, mate.
(no we fucking don't)

I love it with they try to claim Ange took us from 8th to 5th,
No, he took us from 3rd to 5th. We Were quite comfortably in the top 4 even with Conte losing his marbles.
It was Stellini and Masenollio that took us down to 8th.
And now we're miles below 8th. So it's been a steady decline down the table since we sacked Conte.
But STILL there are people that think we're better off.
