Ange Postecoglou: General sentiment is I'm gone even if Spurs win Europa League​


Ange Postecoglou remains determined to navigate his latest struggle and lead Tottenham to Europa League success, but acknowledged the "general sentiment" is he will not be in charge next season
He spends far too much time on the internet reading what people say about him.
 
We’re on course for twenty league losses I feel, which is insane quite frankly. Yet there’s still people in other threads saying there isn’t any manager in the world who could have us any higher in the league because the players are so bad.

This bloke should genuinely be studied for science.
 
The thing is that the EL and the PL run in will have a huge bearing on how AP is judged. He reached for “injuries” and then “refs” as reasons his team was losing. Now he has few injuries. Crying “refs” just makes him out to be a deranged whinger

If he wins the EL then I genuinely think he starts next season. And tbh I’d take a couple of months of him next season as a price worth paying for the EL

But I think Frankfurt will beat us

And the PL run in will remove any doubt that he is the problem

Hope im wrong
 
People need to be able to divide Ange the man from Ange the manager.

The points he's made in the last couple of press conferences are absolutely true, and something most of us have called out before, but people are ignoring that and using it as a stick to bash him with. He's actually sticking up for the club and calling out the media for bashing the club every week.

He's not the best manager in the world, and he will likely be gone in the summer (although if he wins the Europa he should be kept on IMO) - But he actually cares about the club and what people make of it.
 
Tottenham doom mongering sells, the journos have cottoned onto it, doesn't help when the social media element of this fanbase encourage it.

I don't think it will ever stop with this club unless we win stuff and win stuff consistently, the negative stories were still around when Poch had us challenging.
It doesn't help that there is a decent amount of historic evidence that with this club there often is a negative to be found, and doom lurking just around the corner...
 
As if this started with Ange

Remember when we were in a title race to start Conte’s second season and Carragher decided it was “unsustainable “ and the fans would get upset if we didn’t attack more?

Then he just repeated it so many times that other media picked up on it until it became a reality?
It didn't "become" a reality, what Carragher was saying was the reality, it just took a while for people to cotton on to it because generally most fans simply see other teams' results.

We were playing badly against everyone, being pragmatic and getting points in the odd game where you don't play well is a good thing and a trait that Champions have, playing badly in every game and scraping wins is not a good thing, it is unsustainable, and that's what Carragher saw.

His words didn't manifest it into reality.
 

Depending on your personality you either do or you don’t. It’s a cesspit of hate generally so better to avoid it as much as possible.

I feel sorry for the ones that do get sucked into the rabbit hole.

Keeping busy and giving yourself zero free time is part of the key. But mainly it’s just the ability to blank it out and pay no attention.

Not sure I could do it tbh. On paper it’s way to easy to say yeah I’d just ignore it.

One or two old fashioned drinks and I’d be online making a haters list like Michael Jordan. Fuel to my fire!!
