Translated, I think they are saying there's no amount of seasoning you can apply to Ange's surstromming to convince people they're smelling a Sunday roast

The only thing I found boring about Conteball was the predictable starting 11's every match. No matter how bad someone was, they seemed to play.
But even in his 2nd season, it was better than this clusterfuck of football.
And we were 3rd ffs.


We were 14th when Poch was sacked. P12 W3 D5 L4
We were 7th when AVB was sacked. P16 W8 D3 L5

The problem AVB had was those losses included 6-0 away to City and 5-0 at home to Liverpool. And of course, the alarm bell ringer 3-0 home spanking by a very average West Ham team.

AVB was a style over substance appointment. Nice suit and big words to media. Underneath the surface a very mediocre manager.

Miles better than Noclue then.

I wasn't a fan of AVB. After he went, I recall a Jenas interview that kind of confirmed what I thought, he had a system and it was beyond rigid. Jenas was saying that in training (at least they did that) if a player moved out of his designated zone on the pitch, he'd get a dressing down.
Football doesn't work like that, players have to move. We also looked so static under AVB.
But he was a better coach than this eejut
 
Whoever replaces AngeLOSS is likely to experience the opposite trend, in that I reckon someone like Glasner or Iraola might start slowly. We'll see progress from around the midway point of the season.
The issue they face of course is fans are so downbeat they may not warm to that at all.
AND there's gonna be Angebois who will try to claim it was never his fault at that stage.

The 0-5 home defeat to the Dippers was after Suarez got one of our players sent off

If we had anything on the line in the league I'd be inclined to agree with you, since however bad Ange has been we saw the absolutely colossal downturn in form we underwent after Conte was replaced by Stellini then Mason, however I think Levy is astute enough to know the best available option to him once we crash out on Thursday is to bin Ange and let Mason/Wells take control of the team til the end of the season. There are 6 league games left of the season after Frankfurt and if Ange is left in charge for them the atmosphere will be absolutely poisonous for every home fixture, we'll be raked over the coals by the media for our continued inaction over sacking him (universally everyone in the football world can see he still has his job because of the EL QF) and the "will he won't he" be sacked conversation will dominate any discourse around the club until he is gone.

Frankly I want him to stay to the end of the season purely for the fact he will mathematically go down as the worst Tottenham Hotspur manager in history by any metric you care to measure, an accolade he deserves after how much of a massive thundercunt he has been to the fans for the last 12+ months, and the sort of unwanted title that could absolutely be an albatross around his neck when it comes to finding a new club in a serious competition.

Maybe, just maybe ; if we go out on Thursday, it may just liberate Ange , free his mind ; to try other things, field untried players ( with no pressure; because everything will have already gone to sh1t and he knows he won’t be around much longer . And then just maybe he’ll help our longer-term development.

I know it’s an optimistic take ; but it could happen.

As a few others have said ; there’s very little point in sacking him once / if we’re eliminated. Although of course it may well happen .

He absolutely won’t. The reason we are in this mess is because he only knows one single way of playing and doesn’t know how to do anything else. He was figured out after 2 months and it’s been the same shite week in week out for 18 months.
