So from what i read the general conensus is his job is untenable at the end of this season even if we win a cup and qualify for CL.

But on the other hand we're tired of finishing top 4 and having nothing to show for it every year.

To me it's clear.... the manager needs squad backing. You can't compete in a demanding league with 3 cup competitions and injuries with nobody of calibre to support.

Postecoglou is just the scape goat now for them to reset and give everyone false hope, there will never be real success and every manager will struggle.

Levy isn’t blameless but I am sorry you are wrong. Everything Postecoglou does is wrong- his team selection, his tactics, his stubbornness,his shocking in game management, his abrasive nature with the fans. He is absolutely hopeless and has made us into a laughing stock.

I deactivated in Oct and have been holding this in. If I don't post it I'm going to shit myself.

Ange is a fat, useless kangaroo fucking, ear cupping, plate smashing dickhead who has about as much business managing a top flight football team as my shit eating six month old Labrador.

The fact that he is still in a job after the 18 months of cock and ball torture he has subjected us to is insane. The only possible reason that he is still in a job has to be along the lines of him possessing explicit photos of Levy rimming an escort.

Cunt.

Many managers have been scapegoats for Levys continued incompetence, but Ange is nowhere near good enough to be a Prem league coach.
He might need additional squad backing, every manager will state they need that, but there is no doubt he has considerably underachieved with the squad he has. His continued stubbornness and hostility towards media and worse again the fans has signed his death kneel, it's only a matter of when.

Yes, every manager will struggle under Levy and I feel for the next guy in as well, as he will undoubtedly find himself in the same position in two yrs time. Let's hope the protests outside and inside the ground increase dramatically and effect some change.

He is Horrible the worst manager i ever seen at tottenham. Other than the ten game win streak this team has not win 5 games in a row. Hey maybe 3 games in row he needs to go.
 
Was he trying to deflect by saying that those mistakes today were unusual?

Fuck me half of our goals come from self inflicted issues. Always punching the ball into danger, always heading it out back into dangerous areas, throw ins sloppily taken that give the other team a gift of possession they maximise on, a lack of tracking back with a walk or a jog, a poor touch that let's them in. It's astonishing how often this lot do it to themselves.

He must see it. Does he? Is he just saying that to whimper out the back door and not take any more heat.

3 full days until the biggest European game our team has had since the CL. This cup is so winnable its sad really that out lot have no spine. I think this is my least favourite Tottenham team I've ever supported on my 41 years on this planet. Shame on everyone at the club from top to bottom for making me and I'm certain most others feel that way.
He should be moved on before Thursday. I don't care if we win that game or the whole thing abs hindsight comes back to bite me in the arse, someone else should have a crack at it even if it's an interim boss.


Our club is in a lot of trouble. We are nowhere near competing on any serious front. Top 8 next year a huge achievement for whoever inherits this mess. Just wow
 
There is clearly something going on at the club that is far bigger than we have been told.

We have had some insights, with Romero calling out the medical team, and we now are told somebody leaking lineups and tactics.

I suspect there is a lot more going on behind the scenes this season and this summer I'm pretty sure we will get some bombshell news. Looks like some sort of sabotage.
 
The worst part of having this fraud as a manger is that if somehow we fluke a cup win, the smug c**t will be arrogant beyond belief, whilst presiding over the worst Tottenham team I’ve seen in all my years supporting the club.

A small part of me want us to bomb out of the cup just to finish this guy off and start a fresh next year. Can’t deal with much more of his deflecting and refusing to take any blame for the horrific job he has done

The conspiracy side of me thinks a minor stake and investment has already been signed off and new investors want to start from the lowest point in our history and be lauded as hero’s. I’m sure Levy doesn’t mind playing that guy as long as he’s being paid handsomely.

But I suspect it’s just our owners feeding off the corpse of the club and sitting on their hands as usual. They just simply don’t care whilst they make off like bandits

Oh there is definitely a saboteur at the club, have no doubt in your mind about that.

His name is Ange Postecoglou.

Leaking tactics. What tactics? It's the same dross every week. He only does one thing and it's painfully easy to stop.

This just sounds like deflection away from the fundamental issue: the complete and utter lack of leadership, investment (finance and mentality) and courage at every level of our football club. Sabotage... it's not a soap opera, mate (although it's definitely a tragic comedy).

The supporters, general staff and a handful of players are the only ones who have a shred of dignity in this mess.

It's been said before that there is no pressure on the players or coach to achieve anything but top 4. Financially, there seems to be no incentive to win anything beyond that.

The players and staff will have signed NDAs - but I suspect once the season ends, we will hear a whole lot more about what's going on behind the scenes.

Hostile takeover? Coup against Levy? Is this a 'staged' collapse to force Levy out of the club?

We know that the club has been actively looking to seek external funding. With potentially billions at stake, it's not outside the realms of possibility that external parties are sabotaging the club to drive down the value.

What possibly could be so important to leak that it causes us to lose a record amount of games this season?

Ange tactics are the same every week. It's now become a played-out joke it's been laughed about so much.
Our injuries are not a surprise, and we don't have any players so good they decide whether we win or lose.

What exactly could be leaked that would be so damaging to our footballing fortunes? I'm struggling to see it but leave it to you to enlighten us, harry7 ...
