This thread is smelling of roses today, it's a much better place without the stench from the usuals giving the personal abuse and talking down anyone who dares to say something positive about the manager 😎
They've turned this place toxic this season. Life is too short to come on here day after day to face their crap.

Spurs' form was bad enough without seeing people gloat and revel in it.

It's been lovely being back and enjoying some success.

Couldn't believe the neck of some of them yesterday. A few hours before the final they are just on here calling our manager "a fat cunt" and giving out to fans who are behind the team.

Absolutely bizarre scenes. Best day the club has had in 41 years and thats how they spent the day! Insane. Beyond insane. I hope this is a wake up call for some of them. If you can't enjoy these wins then what is the point in any of it?
 
So what you're saying is... he's a fucking genius?

Beyond his capabilities and capacities? Are you for real?

No-one gets through the long, long grind of a Europa campaign without having massive capability. You guys have one of the world's great managers and should be begging him to stay. He's built a very young squad who now have a taste of success. Despite an injury list that would cripple any club he's somehow triumphed. He's got Champion's league next year and at least 130 mill pounds flowing into the coffers.

And on top of all that the players want him to stay.

Has it occurred to you that if Ange leaves, there will be less top quality players interested in joining the Spurs journey next year?

FMD... you don't deserve him.
Roberto Di Matteo won the CL with Chelski - yet he soon got exposed for his lack of tactical abilities. Unless he's had some amazing "realizations" it's the same Angelos now than the Angelos who was not good enough a few days ago. Just look at his EPL record for the last 1 1/2 season.
 
Be interesing to see how many of these accounts were on here celebrating our biggest win in over 40 years last night?

Might click though all the accounts to see their recent posting history. TBF I think The Extra Mile(sey) The Extra Mile(sey) and TonySoprano TonySoprano are good guys who mean well and just think Spurs will be better off once Ange leaves.

But some of the others are just so miserable that they probably didn't even enjoy the win lastnight because fans like me would be happy!

yeah can't be lumping Doomy in there with some of the names on that list. In fact the vast majority are just decent Spurs fans who were largely right about the manager in the league all along.

But there's a couple of names there who should be ashamed to even think of celebrating this cup. Their language and treatment of the manager was an absolute disgrace.

COYS
 
Fair fucks for last night, pulled a number on them and credit where its due. Ironically playing totally Mourinho/Conte football but it worked so who cares. He deserves the next few days to be smug if he wants.

Still needs to go though. We just hardly ever beat good sdes, check our record against last seasons and this seasons top 10. You cant take that into the CL and we've seen he struggles with more than 1 competition at a time. It would be a disaster and we' d be scrambling around in October for someone. Whatever happens a decision needs to be quick, like Monday or Tuesday next week. We cant afford to drag it out like Utd and Ten Hag last summer. This is a golden opportunity to be a really serious club again and we cant throw it away because of sentiment.
It’s exactly the Ten Haag situation last summer but exacerbated because we don’t win trophies regularly so emotions are heightened.

They kept Ten Haag, it was the wrong decision, and fucked them over for the next year. We are probably going to repeat that mistake.

Sometimes the hard decision is the right one. Keeping him is probably the easy way out.

Does that surprise you?

Most of these people find misery in everything the club does and do their best to spin everything into a negative, the playing down of potentially winning this comp was the funniest thing I've read on here all because people don't like the manager and all because they're so desperate not to be wrong...we didn't hear anything of this under previous managers by the way.

Imagine doing essays 6 hours before your club's biggest match for years about the manager and moaning at fans getting behind him, they are beyond help.

Yeah. Ten Hag finished 8th on 60 pts, beating their fancied rivals to win the trophy which created the doubt. We have a pretty big sample size of defeats over 16 months now to make a more informed decision. The win was great, fair do's for getting the monkey off our backs but its the right time for all concerned. I hope emotion doesnt dictate the decision. If Vinai and Paratici are forced to back someone who isnt their choice and probably dont want it will be fairly short lived and leave us in a mess in the early autumn imo. For what its worth Ornstein still thinks he's going.

Nah it not exactly the same.

united recruitment has been far, far far worse than ours, their players weren't behind the manager at all - completely different vibe
 
I don’t know how to feel. I’m just glad that I’m not the one making a decision about his future.

This season has been terrible, but one of the criticism’s Ange has had, is that he doesn’t adapt or have a plan b. But in the Europa, he has adapted, and it was that defensive approach he adopted that won us the competition. I just wish we had seen more of that in the league.

People may not think much of him as a coach and that’s fair enough, but some of the absolute dogs abuse he’s had to endure not only from the media but from this fanbase has been disgusting at times.

Whatever happens, I’ll always be grateful to him for finally bringing us this trophy.

It’s really tricky - players seem to love him.

Maybe get Fabio to sort some decent coaches and take a little of the pressure from Ange-ball away? We have a Plan A, we now have a plan-Z (low block)…perhaps someone more tactical as AM (assistant manager, not attacking MF)…just need to squeak though till the fairly inevitable Poch return.
 
The best way out of this dilemma is; we can't sack him now, give him time till Christmas, keep if PL performances improved massively otherwise show him the door.
 
If Ange does go then whoever he's coaching in his second season, I hope we don't have to play that team in the final. He said he wins in the second season and he gets us a big fuck off trophy to prove it - one that I didn't for one second believe he was up to achieving at this level.

Smash that egg in my face you big grizzly bastard.
