I mean, we're using an analogy of Conte. Let's not be totally delusional here and suggest that Spurs are an outlier. The man is the most reliably unreliable manager in football. Nothing keeps him happy.

I mean, we're using an analogy of Conte. Let's not be totally delusional here and suggest that Spurs are an outlier. The man is the most reliably unreliable manager in football. Nothing keeps him happy.
Well, there is no excuse not to have a bit of patience with a new manager now we have the EL trophy in the bag. If Ange goes, give the new bloke news a 4 year contract, a few transfer windows and a bit of time to get things going.
but we're currently stuck with Ange...
I think that's the problem with ange being a "Fiesta" in the comparison. He's not, really. He's a delorean DMC12. Not very fast, not very practical, but very expensive and somehow lusted after for taking us back to the 80s whilst causing mayhem along the way
Facts. Frank has won nothing in his managerial career. Facts.
People seem to think they deserve to know the inner most workings of the club. I'm sure the wheels are turning, probably slowly but something will be happening. Personally, seeing our fan base online the last two weeks, I wouldnt be telling them a fucking thing either, they're idiots.
De Zerbi would be a recipe for disaster at Spurs. The implosion would be worse than Contes.
Yeah he is a loon tbf. It wouldnt last long but good coach.
Season three, better than season two!"I told them and they laughed at me"
Frank has shown nothing to suggest he can get us into the top five or six. With a squad not stretched by midweek European football, the best he has done is 9th. Ange at least managed to finish 5th in his first season - does he not get any credit for that. I want Ange gone, but not if it means replacing him with mid table cloggers who win fuck all. A club of our stature should be in win mode now every fucking season. I am not prepared to play chess for a season or two. If we replace Ange with Frank a man whose accomplishments you can write on the back of a stamp and still have space for a shopping list, then we are waving the white flag.
And the only times we've hired managers with bone fide credentials it has backfired every time, apart from Conte's first season.
Yes, there are bigger problems holding us back and they come in the shape of an old geezer who lives on a boat and a bald midget. But the managers we've hired with more humble management backgrounds like Harry and Poch are the ones who made us feel like we really belonged at the business end of the table.
It's the IF Postecoglou goes that is the concept that completely gets me.
I can certainly see a situation where he stays and we get 2/3 average signings, and fail to win in our first 6 to 8 games.
Then we will be fcuked.
My confidence in the direction of this club is close to rock bottom.
Season three, better than season two!
Nah we legit need an Ange quote thread
Sidenote I reckon this Arms out Ange emoji is elite, I know certain can't wait to see the back of it
He'll fit in perfectly at Spurs then, won't he?

Last 10 years of cup winners. Haven't included ECL - haven't looked at data
Is that a genuine question? We just won the Europa League did we not... or was that a blip and we are 17 years away from our next bit of silverware which means we can appoint any old loser as our next manager.
I dont enjoy watching us lose every week. How about that?
It is impossible to argue with the last 18 months of evidence and say it wont be any difference next season. If fans are, then I'm sorry, they're just a bit simple.
Both those managers were here at a completely different era though mate - completely uncomparable to the PL in its current state.
Now, you are moving the goal post...
You said 'He did not over achieve in Brentford'
Own up & say you were wrong.... and stop moving goal posts
Frank has managed only Brondby & Brentford in his managerial career. Brondby arent the biggest team either in the league. Brentford did win the playoff to get promoted. So , he did win something significant. Infact, probably the biggest game in Brentford history.
Btw, are you really saying, 19th wages club in league has the right to win anything ?
If thats the level you want Frank to be performing, may be Ange then should be winning the treble last season, which he didnt.
