...but this isn't 'the default scenario'.
Well we should strive to be.
Levy shouldn’t be making any decisions about football
The fact that he’s taking so long and looking amateurish about this Ange decision just adds more evidence to support that.
It was worse when he appointed Ange and the worst was Nuno.
Ange saved his legacy with that EL final but he should be out the door before any other decision if possible. We have just learned to accept that he won’t be
By default, he still has a contract.
If it was expiring, then we'd expect to know one way or another (bit like backup Ben, who isn't on the released list but also no news on extension). From the outsider's perspective, the CWC is about to start and Spurs have just won the EL. I wouldn't say there's any requirement for the club to say anything right now - it is more of an expectation. Or hope, for some of us.
I very much doubt he is. Why would he?
How can he take a long time to make a decision that he isn't making?
OR - maybe the Australian "Chief Footballing Officer" was the one that appointed Ange.
And maybe (well, not maybe - definitely) it was Paratici who appointed Nuno.
If you don't want it to be about Levy, stop manifesting him
Oh, for godsake, this isn't 'the default scenario', as you stated. Stop twisting what you said. There is a massive amount of media speculation which urgently needs to be put to bed, one way or another. Your argument is that Levy doesn't need to say anything - that's just total nonsense and everyone, but you, knows it.
The reason Levy's not said anything is because he's desperately trying to conclude a deal with a new manager, not because he doesn't need to say anything. He clearly DOES need to say something.
If the manager is the clubs guy and it's just business as usual because as far as they're concerned, because the manager is under contract.. They don't let the story of "the managers future is up in the air" and "considering other candidates" fester. They brief those journalists close to the club (Ali Gold etc) that he's absolutely the guy and going nowhere.. Because the longer this speculation isn't shut down, the more the manager is undermined.
It is the "default scenario". The only time a manager receives public backing is when he's about to be sacked. Everyone knows this. It would be completely redundant and counter-intuitive to comment about it as he's still under contract. There's no precedent so support this unless it is a new contract (ETH style).
If we lost the EL final then it would be different. The fact we won it means that the majority of the opinions out there vocally are that he's expected to be back for a third season - the parade was used by Ange to suggest it.
So, to double down (or triple down), there isn't any requirement to confirm it.
Case in point - no one is expecting Man Utd to "confirm" that Amorim is staying, nor are they talking about united getting a new manager or speculating - despite them having a similar season to what our worst case above would be.
Post moved to Clutter.
Fuck me - who said something so bad that
WillWilliams
went all rogue and got cluttered 
Anyone who travelled from Wales every week to watch us get done every week deserves their own extra trophy and first choice on next manager imo. That's proper dedication
This isn't true. The only person who's vocally confirmed he'd be here next year. Is Ange himself..
All the speculation before the final from those journalists with a good reputation (David Ornstein etc), was that the result of the final wouldn't change that he is going to be sacked. And the club did not temper those stories via a press leak. Which they absolutely would have done if there was zero validity to them.
Ange has unfinished business imo
There were a whole 16 league games that we didn't lose last season
Ange should be allowed the chance to lose those remaining 16 next season
There were a whole 16 league games that we didn't lose last season
Ange should be allowed the chance to lose those remaining 16 next season
They've been saying that since January/February. "One more game" etc.
Didn't happen. No communication. BAU
P.S. the 'vocal' stuff refers to the fans at the parade, players etc.
We won’t get relegated even if Leeds have a great season. It’s not acceptable and it’s been embarrassing but to actually think we could get relegated is stupidity.
The old gooner shout eh? Fuck me mate!
FUCK SAKE - STOP IGNORING PEOPLE!
Poch sacrificed the Ropey League for top 4 finishes.
FUCKING. LISTEN.
He, nor anyone else in the history of ENIC, the Premier League, the growth of the Champions League, EVER threw away league game after league game after league game to ease past shit like fucking Bodo fucking Glimpt.
STOP BEING A FUCKING DIV AND FUCKING UNDERSTAND.
NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN GIVEN FREE REIGN TO KEEP LOOSING EVERY WEEK.
NOBODY HAS EVER NOT HAD TO WORRY ABOUT BEING SACKED ON A MONDAY AFTER YET ANOTHER LEAGUE LOSS.
Any one of Jol, Redknapp, AVB, Poch, Mourinho or Conte would have won a ropey league.
NOT ONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE GOT CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR IT AS IT DIDN'T AWARD THAT.
And for that reason, they all HAD to focus on league form.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK FUCKING SKULL AND STOP TALKING SHIT.
If admin aren't going to ban this twat despite EVERYONE foul voting him, I think I'll have to ban my fucking self.
No. What actually happened during the season was the opposite... We'd lose to Leicester/Ipswich etc.. And we'd as fans be thinking. Right this is it now. He's gone. And then a day later there would be a story in the press that said "We are told that Spurs are not minded to sack Postecoglou any time soon but may revisit it at some point in the future if form was to decline further". I do not remember one story from one of the few respectable outlets that read, "one more loss and he's sacked".
