Management Ange Postecoglou

The next guy to win us a major European trophy will 100% become a legend , I don’t really like the guy but if he gets us over the line tonight he fully deserves to walk into that press room with his cock out , dump the trophy on the table and say “what the fuck did I tell you about my second season”
Yes 100% finishing 17th is shit and inexcusable , however in a few years time if we do happen to win it tonight we won’t remember 17th we will just remember that Ange always wins in his second season .
Yeah that's great .... and the dickhead that is Ange can rub one out to that every night if he likes, while managing Sydney FC or whatever.
As long as he isn't here.
Yeah I want him gone regardless but I’ll happily accept him as a “legend” if it means we win the EL tonight. It would be a fitting way to break the “Spursy” curse by the worst manager winning us our first trophy in years, any way let’s get the trophy out the way first then worry about the future
He definitely wouldn't be a legend imo, it's not the champions league or premier league ...
He'd have cult hero status, probably, and I wouldn't bemoan it too much because ultimately he broke our duck and it makes sense.
Why would you forget finishing 17th? Unless you have dementia or Alzheimer’s. It’s not really something you can just forget if you’re actually invested in being a fan. I can remember almost all our league positions over the last few years, why would I forget this one?
Fucking state of the railway in this country.
Get to Euston in plenty time for the 1330 train and they’ve fucking cancelled it.
So I’m now waiting around to see if the 1430 is running in the full knowledge that if it is, it will be rammed full.
Absolute wankers.

Load of horseshit you mean
Please for one day can you just get behind the team?
Its the day of the final and your ranting away on the Ange Postecoglou thread. Just get behind the team and manager today. We don't make many finals. We need to embrace this.
You are probably right about Ange. You were probably right all along. You'll get your credit and your brownie points at the end of the season on here. But please just get behind the team today and only focus on the final tonight. We don't need constant negativity on the forum today. We have a huge game tonight and that is all that matters for the next 8 hours. Forget about everything else. Please.
I could ‘forget’ down to about 8th/9th as a ‘disappointing season’.
One space above relegation - notsomuch.
I just hope we win so the argument can carry on into eternity!
I feel like Ange will deserve to gloat and delivering a trophy is delivering a trophy. Particularly with our recent history and him saying he always wins one.
But to act like this will be a "success" or better than the sustained competitiveness Poch had is bonkers. Success isn't so binary and it's almost like part of our fanbase allowed all the "but they haven't won a trophy" naysayers to infiltrate our psyche. Have you really had more fun watching football this year? Than the years we went undefeated at home. Blasted the mid/bottom table teams, etc. I've barely been tuning into our PL games for months. Even the Europe league. Have we really had any great performances? Maybe 2-3 solid games where I felt proud of the team?
Ultimately this binary view of success is a fast-track to being a miserable prick and to some degree undermines why we watch and enjoy sports. I'll certainly remember the CL final run with our epic games against Man City and the comeback against Ajax more fondly. I'll remember beating RM at the Bernabeau. Blasting City in the league. Beating Woolwich to secure CL a few years ago. This will be more like "remember that crazy Europa league run we had when we were absolute sht?" Sports are ultimately all about enjoyment and memories and I can't say I've enjoyed this year very much. A trophy is just a representation of all that. Certainly it matters, particularly when you've had a hard time getting over the line, haven't won in a while, etc. It takes on a special get-over-the-hump feeling. But is anyone optimistic about the current squad and management? We are an absolute disaster in our overall form.

Him and his fan club
Just head the most wonderful description of our situation from a mate.
Think of Spurs as an Orchestra. Ange is the conductor.
When he took over, the Trumpet player Miles Davis left and was replaced by Roy Castle.
Jimi Hendrix on Guitar injured his finger, and the 17 year old drummer from a local school band was asked to step in, dispite never having played guitar before.
Nigel Kenedy on an extended break after a disastrous haircut, but it's ok, the owners have lined up Jedward to replace him.
The next few gigs weren't great, so they fired the conductor.

As long as fatcunt fucks off, his fannyboy fan club can say/do what they want to soothe and cope.
I just need him gone.
Let's face it, Postecoglou would be as shit an orchestral conductor as he is elite football manager, so it's understandable that they sacked him.
What you're saying is he should have been sacked ages ago. I agree.
These people, are they in the room with us right now?
