Manager Ange Postecoglou

[skywalker68]

I understand ange being motivated by comments about being a clown.
He hasn't done himself any favours though, the chelsea debacle last season along with, terrible results latter part of last season and got worse this one.
Poor attention to detail with tactical and defensive set up at times, being a joke across the premier league.
Add in, his ridiculous stroppy post match interviews, the press are now into him hoping he fails.
Tomorrow night I think, sees ange win a trophy that improves his CV then, he sails off into the sunset leaving the club to recruit and recover once again.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that journo's question to him. He's bang on. If we lose tomorrow, this season is the worst by a distance for about 40 years.

I think Dan was just trying to rile him up and remind him how fucked off the fanbase actually are. When you hear him speak on The Tottenham Way he is completely fed up. I only heard this bit, where does he say he is a clown?

Dan wrote a piece in the Standard the other day were he said that Postecouglu's legacy balances between being seen as a hero and a clown.

Which confirmes that Ange or someone around him reads the stuff being written.

 

[Sir Ledders]

He wont walk either way, no one leaves that sort of money on the table. But he has to go regardless of what happens.

 

[Pól]

He pretty much confirmed he’s leaving today.

I just found it, thanks. He's said to Dan before that he has read his articles. He is so soft centred, cant have that in our manager. Absolutely nothing wrong with the article though btw.

Ange came out firing in that press conference. No timid, scared of the moment type stuff.

Before the biggest achievement we could be having since 41 years ago, the agenda from the journalists, and worse, some of our fans, towards him leading to the final is nothing short of fucking disgraceful...

I wanted him out, as I honestly never expected us to be in the final of Europa. Under this circumstance change, I'm actually feeling sorry for him to be facing all these crap while trying to bring us the biggest win in decades, and I hope he gave us all the middle finger after lifting the trophy and called it quits tomorrow.

Credit to him, his vibe is way better than Poch could handle no matter how many lemons he had for the CL final 6 years ago. Even if we lose tomorrow, what has he got to lose? He's not getting respect in anyways. He's already sentenced.

Well done Dan. Too right he’s a clown.

 

[On the shelf]

A/ he never said that...
B /If you really think the First eleven plus bench is relegation fodder ..then perhaps WATCHING football isn't really your thing , maybe try something a little more obvious, like tag wrestling or formula one.
And NOTHING can rectify this appalling.prem season but a little rational thought and reflection on its Pros and cons would be a positive from a negative rather than resorting to knee jerk unhelpful stupidity.

Weirdly, haven't we always asked for a cunt manager like Mourinho other than Mourinho? If we have a respectable league standing, fans will be clapping Ange for shutting such disrespectful journalism down. And even with our shit league standing, a good piece of journalism can still be right and respectful.

 

[JimothyCF14]

And your advocating another change in management and yet another restructure?, surely we've lived through 2 many of them, and it's time to take/try another track.

Click to shrink...

The track we're on leads off a fucking cliff.

Sticking with someone just for the sake of sticking with someone isn't some sort of magic trick it's idiotic.

 

[Bazali]

100% this - people forget or don't care what Poch and that team actually achieved which was making Spurs respected and competitive consistently for years despite things going against us like the owners lack of ambition, bad recruitment (or none at all for 18 months) and losing our home after an unbeaten season there to go to the shithole that is Wembley and STILL compete at the top end of the league.
Winning a pot does not in any way make Ange more successful because football doesn't work that way - we have seen it before as you mentioned with Ramos.
Longevity, consistency and building a squad and club that competes at the top end is what we should be about - not the odd cup as much as I would love it of course, we need both to happen to really progress.

During Peak Poch every PL dreaded playing us and we sustained it for over two seasons

Magical stuff and we haven’t gotten anywhere near it since!

It's the clickbait title that's the problem. Nothing in the article is wrong.

That's exactly the problem.

 

[MCSpurs]

Every time I watch an Ange interview, I cringe. He's prickly, defensive and clearly upset about everything. He's surely long enough in the tooth to understand that you have to let it all go over your head and at least pretend that you aren't affected by things, but his body language and responses to every question shows that he doesn't have the composure and fortitude required of a top leader, when things aren't going your way.

It's time for him to step aside, one way or another, as I'm embarrassed when he speaks, just as much as I am embarrassed what Levy has achieved after 23 years and how much money made???

You don't understand how football works.
Better teams than us would go down with a buffoon of a coach that everyone has sussed out.
Plenty of teams have been too good to go but gone anyway due to poor management.

Its true what you have said but until we start winning trophies we will always be a laughing stock amongst other fans regardless of how the team is performing. . This trophy will shut them up for the summer and we can laugh at Woolwich how we got CL and won a bigger trophy than they have won for some time.

 

[1882]

I'm all for continuity but to consider another season with Ange in charge would bring this club relegation
I have no doubt of that, would you be prepared to risk that on your try another track ethos
My guess is you're in the win a trophy on Wednesday and everything is just great again with your I always win 2nd season cunt
COYFS!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry... I don't think anyone is considering it....
That much is clear!

I'm not deflating the competition... what is factual is that the top PL clubs who have found themselves in the Europa League consistently treat it like the League Cup, playing reserves and youth players until they reach the later stages when they might play the first team. That there is the top clubs deflating the competition. Not me. For the record, I usually don't care one iota about opposing fans, majority of which I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire. Go back to the early stages of the competition... we even deflated the competition until we realised the league was a dumpster fire.

Personally, I feel you are overinflating this competition probably due to the fact we've won fuck all for so long. On Thursday when we wake up, this win will not change the narrative. As good as it will feel to get a few monkeys off our back, I trust me I will savour every minute of it, this achievement will not for one minute paper over the piss poor league form.

You are basing achievement on one metric which is winning Europe's secondary competition (which we still haven't won). Think about the health of our football club for a minute... what is the bigger achievement? Finishing top five and reaching later stagers of Champions League, or fighting relegation and winning the Europa League. If you look at it purely from silverware then fine, you win... but monetize it and you will quickly lose this argument. Also, who is better equipped next season to actually progress in the Champions League. Certainly not the team who just finished 17th but won the Europa League. For all Poch's faults (and trust me, I don't want him back), in four out of five seasons in charge he got us into the Champions League including reaching a final. I would say that is an amazing achievement under this Chairman.

Look, I hear you, but any trophy is an achievement. Its a trophy, in the cabinet, something really and tangible that I have only experienced 3 times in my memory supporting this club.

Silverware is the pinnacle of any sport. I just do not know how that can be questioned.

Its the reason why ENIC are so hated. Becaue they have failed to deliver us any of real value and consistency and if we win tomorrow ill remember it more than the CL final, or any 2nd place finish.
