Well he's managed to keep a lid on it way better than much higher level managers have done in the past (Conte/Mourinho). Maybe it's because he very rarely directly throws players under the bus in interviews (Werner being the exception and no one cares about him).

Management Ange Postecoglou

Thing is, sticking with him is it's own gamble in that respect, because there's every chance we go out to Bodo Glimt in the semis and then he's open to the accusation that he cocked up by sticking with a lame duck of a manager that has overseen the worst League campaign in recent memory.
Well, history is written by those who win the war.
Maybe it is because the media are not looking for it. In general the journalist in the press room seem to love him because he gives them plenty of column inches to fill every. The fact is if you compare the stories Alisdair Gold was writing about Conte towards the end compared to Ange you would think Conte was the manager that lost every week.
It simple Ange provides them with enough complete BS every week they don't need to go looking each week for stories.
The following is just some of the sermons he has delivered to the press room:
The evil of Camera Phones.
The evilness of VAR
The existence of a Mole
How he finished 5th last season while being 16th this season.
The media agenda against Spurs.
How you trust an experienced plumber
Every week he provides them with a new story and no one wants to miss out because they have written how poor his tactics are or his training methods are.
The Blob is atrocious, yes. But even better managers would struggle with the lowest wage-to-turnover ratio in the PL...and with that squad. Sure, we wouldn't be 16th with 19 defeats, but we wouldn't be top 4 either...shit will be shit, you can't polish a turd and all that.
End of the day, the manager and players aren't the No 1 issue. We've had 16 managers and how many different players since 2001...won the one Milky Way cup in 24 years. Who's the common denominator, though eh?
Until everything changes, nothing changes.
The one thing I'd say is EF were a decent opponent. 3rd in Bundesliga is a respectable team. I think they'd be a few places above us in the PL.
We always hear about how bad the English press are (especially with the national team) but they have been a right soft touch with Ange.
It's annoying that he will get through his whole tenure without being properly called out.
They were complete pony
Disagree! I can enjoy supporting a Poch Tottenham. Or a Conte first season Tottenham. I want Levy gone, but I can enjoy that. I cannot enjoy supporting the Blob's rank incompetence
They weren't good against us, but 3rd in Bundesliga is a decent team.
Pal, we got Nuno then Ange cause nobody serious wanted to come here. Levy had to literally beg Jose & Conte, give them the paycheck of a lifetime and make false promises (not in writing).
Nagelsmann clearly rejected us despite the club's lame attempt at disguising the truth. Enrique, Zidane, Xabi Alonso, Simone Inzaghi wouldn't shag us with a borrowed dick.
If Thomas Frank, Iraola and Marco Silva got any sense, they'll stay put.
Levy thanks you
I been doing this since the Ipswich loss, ain't happening and I have no Idea why either.
Disastrous decision to let him stay on after the Galatasaray and Ipswich game week.
Whats actually annoying is levy would have sacked anyone else by now, but he's giving the worst manager of the lot, the most time.
I genuinely think if Mason and Wells were still coaching the youth sides Levy would have sacked Postecoglou and promoted them, but because they are part of the set up he probably thinks it's a waste of time.
I'm just furious with the board for letting this two bob cunt do what he does, act the way he does in the name of THFC. he's a Micky mouse manager in charge of one of the worlds biggest football clubs, yet acts like he's the fucking godfather of football and we're some tinpot club in the backwaters.
He's brought the team to his level, I can't stand him now and his football is embarrassing at this level, as simple as that.
Are you saying you are totally indifferent to - say - Poch's best season and this crap from Blob?
If yes, you are one heck of an outlier in the fanbase.
Yep the cat is out of the bag now. Everyone knows that Spurs are not a serious club with ambition.
We can still get decent upcoming managers in the ilk of Iraola. It is a chance to come to a bigger club and a stepping stone to an elite club if things go well.
But the pretence of us trying to develop into a winning team has gone out the window now. Everyone knows what they are getting into.
Don't forget this weeks classic about the stonecutters creed or whatever he is going on about...
Yeah but also we set up the same way so he's being told to play out but yet Liverpool and every other club that does tactical work on the opposition know what to do every time Vicario has the ball at his feet.
What happened yesterday with most of their chances was down to their midfield runners attacking the box, Archie Gray and Bergvall had no idea how to deal with it because this buffoon doesn't care what the opposition does and just wants to focus on playing his shite regardless of the outcome.
Bodo/glimt coming here now with our confidence on the floor.
Every week he is just coming with more ridiculous excuses.
How about winning some fucking football games Ange? you utter fraud.
He knows he is gone, which is why all he can do is rattle off some bullshit excuses, because he can't say anything else. He is waiting for the sack so he can get his pay out. That's all it is at this stage, we are treading water and he is wheeled out after every game just to chat shit, whilst Levy sits up there using him as his human shield.
