Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

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 ...
 
THE SCORE

Tottenham's blind faith in Postecoglou is coming to an end​

This stopped working a long time ago

It’s going to end soon. It is already ending, so scorched has the earth become. Tottenham have a Europa League tie in Frankfurt on Thursday night and Ange Postecoglou is lucky to be in charge for it. Even that is surely only because Spurs would prefer not to turn to Ryan Mason for yet another caretaker stint.

If belief, confidence and momentum are all crucial when travelling away in Europe, it would be astonishing if Tottenham qualified in Germany. This team is a mess. For all the dogma of the Postecoglou style, even that has fallen away now.


Tottenham play like a team that spends no time in midweek working out how to thwart an opponent’s threat. If “We’ll just focus on what we do” is the idea here, it doesn’t work either because nobody seems to know what the bloke next to them wants.

Wolves were competent; Tottenham were not. The timings of the goals in Sunday’s 4-2 defeat were instructive too, Tottenham twice conceding in the five minutes after they gave themselves some hope of rescuing a point. Even the good news comes laced with fear that it will merely be a prelude for instant calamity

Unfortunately all pretty tough sides for us these days. Without Europe we can definitely get ourselves in the top 6-8th places if we are on our shit, but it will take a very focused effort with a great coach. With the incredible investment that Villa and Forest are seeing, not to mention Newcastle, we are dangerously close to fading from European relevance :(

think our hope has to be a real coaching team who work with the players to improve them & no midweek football, the down side is when will our young players get game time ? ( Gray, Moore, etc)
Also playing midweek football will strain the playing staff at some of those clubs
