spurs are not liverpool and chelsea ,we are not serial winners like they are.Serious clubs sack him. Liverpool sacked dalglish after he won the fa cup, Chelsea sacked ancelotti a year after winning the double despite a perfectly reasonable second season. It’s what happens. Trouble is, we have levy who will follow it up with a wrong appointment. But we shouldn’t be scared to try.
I don’t find it strange at all as most Spurs fans (including myself) wanted that trophy monkey off our back.I find it strange that at the start of the season the majority of sentiment on here was fuck the league, just win a trophy.
....
Not really. 2nd rate is wholly negative. 2nd tier is not.
We’ve no idea why it’s taking so long so why assume the negative?Whichever way you slice it Levy acting with zero class as usual . Either sack him or make a statement saying he is staying . In my opinion the only reason Levy is stringing Ange along is he is sniffing around other managers to see if anyone does not tell him to fuck right off.
We are not at Jol levels of scumminess YET , but we appear to be working on it .
I am Ange out and if we cannot feel confident in sacking him knowing we can attract better it shows how far we have fallen as an attractive opportunity for a manager . Show some class Spurs sack him or say he is staying instead of sneaking around behind his back .
All the above admittedly is just opinion but with the season over I can see no reason to not either fire or confirm him . Pretty disgusting in my view .
I find it strange that at the start of the season the majority of sentiment on here was fuck the league, just win a trophy. Now that he’s done that the sentiment has changed to fuck a trophy we need a better league season.
Putting all my bias aside, I honestly believe Ange will be staying. He has performed, contractually, perfectly. In his 2 seasons he has returned us to European football, won a European trophy and qualified for the riches of the CL.
Irrespective of your thoughts on our league performances, he absolutely has earned the right to start the season.
It seems though it’s a case of damned if you do and damned if you don’t for a lot on here
I understand your point however the season needs to be looked at in totality.There's a massive difference between falling short in the league despite our best efforts and playing like a fucking pub team all season and finishing 17th.
Reaching the point where I travel for hours fully expecting to watch us get battered isn't sustainable. This season must be a one off, and in saying that I don't believe Ange has the tools to turn that around. I don't see what's so controversial about this.
And yet, here you are, on the internet, a grown man, calling another man a fat cunt because he lost some football games and upped his ear?
Do you hear yourself?
He did it cos fans like you have been calling him a fat cunt to his face for months because they don't know how to process losing football games? You feel embarrassed by the way another human being manages a team? Fucking hell..... get some therapy.
We’ve no idea why it’s taking so long so why assume the negative?
For all we know there maybe negotiations agreeing a severance package and NDA wording, or we’re also trying to agree new manager terms before announcing.
Silence to the public doesn’t necessarily mean the parties involved don’t know what’s going on.

No need for the therapy addition, but that sentiment aside, yes.
You wrote 'second rate' and second rate is a wholly negative term. Second tier is obviously the level below the top level in competitive sport but that doesn't mean that it's a negative situation to be in or fails to offer teams the chance to display high quality football. I've seen Europa finals that were of a higher quality than our CL final against Liverpool.Literally out of the dictionary. Is the Europa League of inferior quality to the CL?
"
adjective
- of mediocre or inferior quality.

Understood.I mean, I'm just being honest. If you find yourself so wound up by something so completely out of your control, you can't help but be abusive about another human being, it will do anyone well to figure out why and find a healthier way to process emotions.
Levy clearly been more focused on Cullen and Collecot than the actual manager of our football team.
Mainly because the loyalty of this two were key pillars in his ability to stay in power
Football always comes second to his power to call the shots
Can’t agree , I’ve seen this movie to many times . In my opinion he has already had a few jog ons , he wants Ange gone but can’t bin him without a decent manager to replace him . Not easy with Levy’s repLevy clearly been more focused on Cullen and Collecot than the actual manager of our football team.
