Lol. The state of you.

With our current squad and the teams we faced, they'd all get to the final at the very least.

Gollini, Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Skipp, Ndombele, Doherty, Alli, Gil, Kane.

That's who Mura beat with the last kick with an extra man on the pitch. Twit.

As yes feel free to keep speculating on what magical pixie dust fairy tales you want to make up in your head you delusional little child, meanwhile the rest of us on planet earth will just accept reality and go by what actually happened in real life.

He needs to be gone now. If we sack him at Christmas, there won't be a viable manager available and we'll end up with another waste of space. Granted we won the EL but it's my belief still that we won it despite him, not because of him. We have the players to challenge for next season but we won't improve with him. And when he screws up again, his excuse will be he's concentrating on the CL....which we stand 0 chance of winning with him. Let him go on a high with his head held high (and swollen) and concentrate on the EPL next year. I'd prefer to challenge for the top four than concentrate on a trophy we won't win.

All true, but organizations aren't good at making hard decisions. I think he'll be kept on.

Top 4 is the owners goal (cashwise). Why should we care for a 4th place if, as you said, we have no chance of winning the CL?
Nice football and home wins is what a fan should look for. And/or silverware.

I'd throw Alonso's hat into the ring here as well. Very little experience, but achieved something that very few managers have with 10x the experience.

Think he'd take it/ Maybe

IF Levy would only back the club by paying market wages for talent we could really kick on now ffs. Have a squad that just needs 2-3 top players and has some great young players coming through. EL win, CL next season etc.

If you can improve as a club you do so. We've largely got out of jail with that win and have a golden opportunity to push on and be a serious threat. I dont want to see us back where we started come October, losing to pretty much every decent side, wracking up injuries and the positivity we have now just dissapearing. We then have to find someone decent to come mid season, never easy. Thanks for the trophy and best wishes but he is easily upgradeable. He isnt going to suddenly become an astute tactician, we're not going to miraculously become consistant, we're not going to stop losing a ton of games (27 out of our last 48 league games). You dont have to be Mystic Meg, we have 18 months of evidence.

Keeping everything the same in the vague hope all will be better then why not keep the entire squad together? Maybe Bissouma wont be flakey and massively inconsistant, maybe Richarlison will stay fit and develop a first touch, maybe Sonny will revert to playing like its 2020. These sort of opportunites dont come around often, imo it would be madness to piss it away out of vibes and sentimentality.

The winning post
 
However you feel about Ange, him saying he always wins something in his second year, and then getting it thrown back in his face all season long, over and over, by journos, opposing fans, OUR fans... and then actually doing it, has got to be one of the best all time flexes in sports history. Up there with Ruth calling his shot, Joe Namath guaranteeing the SB win, etc.

The only way i can see it is if, sometime in Feb or March, Ange and Levy had a meeting where Ange got the green light to 100% focus on the Europa.

Doesnt excuse the league form but if Levy agreed in some part to the Europa win being above all else then perhaps we may still see him here next season - cant see it myself but who knows

I’d suggest that meeting was very likely to have happened and it would explain why the axe didn’t fall already.

I openly said I’m biased, but I’m a Spurs fan first (and have met many of the members of this forum in person years before he was our manager), and an Ange fan second.

if you can genuinely say to yourself that you felt the team accomplished more after 2019 than last night, then fair fucks. I would personally say that’s a loser mentality, but I guess that’s just my wrong opinion.

Except that everything the one player who played in both finals for us has said disagrees with your opinion.
