What this whole sorry Ange tenure has shown is that a large section of Spurs fans are actually idiots.

It's quite unreal to see us get ripped apart, Ange tactically outsmarted, every single week even by the likes of RVN, a record breaking abysmal season, 17th and 22 league defeats. Bummed by Ipswich and Leicester and horrible shit sides like that, battered by Everton ffs.

And they weren't plucky defeats, we looked clueless all over the pitch. And yet after all of that, loads want to see more of it next season.

It was torture watching us the whole season, fucking dreadful. I fell out of love with football it's been so bad. Worse than I've ever experienced.

And Bilbao doesn't make up for that I am sorry. As far as I am concered, beating a few shit sides in Europe does not wipe away all that shit we saw, and allow Ange to have a third season.

I just can't understand the thought process at all of the people who want him to stay.

It's demented, I am sorry.

There is fuck all evidence that it will get better.

He's tactically an absolute clown. He has no idea how to set up a team to win consistently in this league. The idea that we go again with him is literally insane. We will be fighting relegation.

Since the first 10 games of last season it's been bottom half form, which then became relegation form, and it's been that bad for a sustained period of time.

Even with our best team playing, we are constantly exposes by his idiotic system and tactics.

Anyway, I have a feeling tomorrow might be the day he's sacked finally.

I'm not Ange in, but I'd be willing to make a charity bet that if he does stay, we will not be fighting relegation.

Also, calling things you don't understand demented is rude as fuck bro - your opinions and the way you choose to look at the world is yours to do with what you want as is anyone's else.

It's a 50/50 to be honest. The vast majority here want him to go, while the Twitter and match-going fans mostly want him to stay. The real numbers are somewhere in the middle.

Disagree that the match going fans want him to stay.
In the main I believe they are the ones that mainly want him to go.

I am in a group of about 40 of us, that go up and down the country and Europe watching club, half of them were in Bodo, all in Bilbao. Out of them, maybe 2 want him to stay, rest have want him gone for very long time, and nothing has changed since, apart from now would wish him well as he left.
I really think it is mainly the internet crowd (in other words those that don't invest the money as such) that would like him to stay

Whatever one thinks about the man's background, it cannot be denied he has come up from the bottom of the football pyrimad to the top.

The problem is, he spent nearly 30 years at the bottom of the pyramid, then a couple of years a few runs higher, then all of a sudden gets put at the top. He hasn't so much as worked his way up, as been launched from the bottom to the top and never experienced what it's like.

This is a difficult bet. Who defines what is a relegation battle?
Some of his ardent fans last season claimed we were in a top 4 race because, and i quote " we were only X amount of points behind Man City"
So using that logic, if we're 3 or 4 places from 18th and say, under 8 points above them, are we therefore not in a relegation battle? And as long as we can mathematically go down, is that not typically a relegation battle?

My thoughts are he would not get the same leeway next season. If we hit a bad patch of form and lose 3 or 4 again he goes. No chance on earth does Levy allow us to be dragged into a fight come May 2026.

You're making my point for me - the assertion from Aphex is just hyperbolic, dramatic nonsense.

IF and huge IF he does stay - unless we are in an around the top 4 battle after 5 games, he is gone - if we lost the first 3, he would go - which is why it seems pointless to keep him.

Yeah it's pretty wild people are upset about the state of the club they spend thousands on every year. What's their problem?

It is wild because getting upset is a pointless waste of emotion, getting angry over something you have no control over the outcome of is an unhealthy way to live.

Supporting a football team for the entirety of one's life and expecting them to always be in a good position that you are happy with is simply an unrealistic way to approach being a supporter in my honest opinion. You have to take the rough with the smooth, the ups with the downs and accept it is a wild journey, strap in and enjoy it for what it is.

Can you even fathom supporting a team that goes up and down between the leagues? Most of these angry posters wouldn't have the stomach for it if they cant even deal with one really shitty season in the league in the last 20 odd years AND a europa cup win. 90% of fans who don't support the regular prem teams would give anything for that.

Porro and Sarr at a minimum.

Porro has absolutely not improved. He's been suffering from exhaustion and looks miles off the £50m player he was at sporting.
As an attacking wing back he was scoring a goal roughly every 7 games at sporting and 1 in 5 on loan with us. That has dropped to one in every 13-14 games under Ange. The idea of him being linked to a City-level transfer now seems daft but it wasn't 18 months ago.

Tbf it’s a horrific choice

There's compelling arguments for both keeping and getting rid of Ange.

The one thing that stood out to me is after the final Ange said he wanted to bring more experience in to the team. That's at odds with our recent recruitment which reeks of Levy

BINGO

qualifying for the CL after winning something is a disaster for Levy

His dream world is top 5 league qualification with top 8 wages and valiantly getting knocked out in R16 or QFs of the CL. Every season.

Perfect limbo state for the economic model

Utter waffle

Porro was a MUCH MUCH worse defender when he arrived.

Udogie, Sarr, Porro, all clearly improved in the last 2 seasons
