Sadly losing to Southampton in the league will not be possible this time. But with some luck, there are still cups to unlock this achievementAnge 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
The CEO, Director of Footballing operations, the board itself.
You and a few others seem to have this illusion that the likes of Vinai Venkatesham are coming in like its work experience, to just watch other people make decisions and do nothing. Paratici has handled this aspect before and will probably do so if a change occurs in the summer (if he comes back, as anticipated), in tandem with Vinai. Lange is the technical director and will no doubt be involved in the same way that he was at villa
If anyone can do it , Big Ange canSadly losing to Southampton in the league will not be possible this time. But with some luck, there are still cups to unlock this achievement
Good points Ed.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 .
people going on about either winning trophies or finishing in the top 4 etc. Fuck all that! All I want is to see my beloved Tottenham play with imagination, flare and a swagger, the rest will then take care of itself imo.
Just ignore.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.

Lange is about to get upstaged by Levy with Paratici, there’s no board left after Cullen and Collecot are gone. Vinai has hardly even started and is nowhere near the decision on Ange.
This is all Levy and everyone knows it. Exactly the way he wants it
26 matches
Good point on Sherwood. 42pts from 24 games and concidered (rightly) a laughing stock.26 matches
19pts
thats relegation form over 2/3rds of a season
Sherwood is derided for 42 from 24. This clown got fewer than HALF his points pg
Just because Cullen has gone doesn't mean there isn't a board.
Charrington is on there as of March
Jonathan Turner is still there
Collecott is still there.
Not sure why you're ignoring that Vinai is making the decision just because he hasn't (according to you) made it yet. That makes no sense at all.
It smells just like an excuse to blame Levy, rather than rational thinking

You've just proved my point. There is no massive speculation about Amorim, so Utd don't need to say anything. On the other hand, there IS massive speculation about Post, so Tottenham ABSOLUTELY need to say something.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.
Any one of Jol, Redknapp, AVB, Poch, Mourinho or Conte would have won a ropey league.

He did. Didn't make it past the last 16. Which is strange, given that it's such an easy competition to win. Apparently.
Yes, Mauricio Pochettino did manage Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League. During his tenure as Spurs manager from 2014 to 2019, the club participated in the Europa League in the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons.
- In 2014–15, Spurs reached the Round of 32, where they were eliminated by Fiorentina.
- In 2015–16, they progressed to the Round of 16, but were knocked out by Borussia Dortmund.
- In 2016–17, Spurs reached the Round of 32, where they were eliminated by Gent.
The format has changed though with no teams dropping down from the Champions League which shouldn’t be ignored.Since the 14/15 season, winning the Europa League qualifies you for the Champions League.
Jol, AVB, Redknapp - would not have qualified.
Poch, Mourinho, Conte would have.
You should be banned speaking to people like that when you are factually wrong - so please do ban yourself.
It wont matter to me in future as you will go on my ignore list. I can't tolerate stupid combined with aggressive. A terrible combination. Get fucked, you stupid, thick, cunt.
