That’s something that’s been spun out by Matt Law the grim reaper of Spurs news so I’d put as much faith in it as my mate telling me Margot Robbie just phoned asking me out for a date!

Fucking love that this is now in general football.
Hopefully all his fucking cultist fanbois are locked in here like General Zod in the phantom zone.
When you think about it, his fans probably have a bit of a Non lost looking expression all day.
Go away u fkin troll
Where are you taking her?
I think it's the right decision but I can't help feeling sad today. He brought me the happiest moment in my Spurs supporti ng life
Seems like we are getting daggers from the media and fans for sacking a trophy winner, but it's a very narrow perspective

I bet none of you misery merchants will be able to keep away from this thread
Hopefully harry7 gone as well?
Players having extraordinary relationship with a manager does not automatically mean they will not be professional with the next manager.
Where were you when Romero was linked to Atleti move since jan window ? Had we not won EL, his transfer could have been announced by now
Sonny - his contract is near a end and there was always a possibility he was going
Porro - where did he say he wanted a move out ?
It seems like, you have lot of hypothetical sceanrios in your mind and started to think they are actually real....

Media are a bunch of c@nts and will write whatever generates click bait shocker!
I’d pay very little attention to what’s written over the coming days, what’s genuine will probably be somewhere in the middle of the two extremes.
Another way to look at it is, he had a squad capable of winning the Europa League and managed to lead them to 22 PL defeats.
To be fair to the media, which I don’t like to be. The daggers were out in the fan base long before the media.
Ange certainly has played a huge part in player management. Kudos to him to have the entire squad on board
But player management comes secondary to tactics.
Couple of more weeks things should be less emotional - then its up to whoever is the 2nd manager to make sure he gets the support of playing staffs and fans

A manager who isn’t compatible with this board is instantly more appealing to me,
One that the board wants is the biggest red flag possible
Fucking sick of this see through “he had nothing to do with the Cup win” narrative, it’s absolute horse shit. He fucked the league no doubt, but to say he shouldn’t get credit for the cup is just absolute agenda and shithousery.
So the CL final the players shouldn’t have needed motivation going by your analysis? Maybe they shouldn’t have needed it then but by fuck they certainly did.
Sadly we as a fan base and football supporters in general will have a preconceived opinion on a manager before a football is even kicked. We seen it before and we will see it again, *supporters* will have the pitch forks out at the first sign of underperformance, just waiting for the “see, I told you so”.
Didnt the board want Ange 2 years ago ?
Has Ange ever spoken aganst board ?
As an Ange out guy, shouldn’t that prove my point?
It's generally perpetuated by low IQ people
Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou sack shows glory is not what matters to Daniel Levy
Ange Postecoglou's sacking shows the old Spurs saying "the game is about glory" does not count under chairman Daniel Levy, says chief football writer Phil McNulty.
www.bbc.co.uk
"I would love to know the thought process behind the decision to get rid of him. Is it saying the finance of the Premier League is the be-all and end-all? So finishing fourth or fifth in the Premier League and not winning a trophy is what matters.
"It is like they are morphing into Woolwich under Arsene Wenger at the end, if that's what is important.
"But money over glory sums up the owner, Daniel Levy, doesn't it?
"Nothing surprises me in football any more, so Postecoglou is better off out of it really - and maybe they can go back to being mediocre old Tottenham again now."
Sadly, all very true. Terrible football decision by DL (among many). Strangely, many folk on here seem to want a nice cosy top 8 finish rather than actual glory and winning. Let’s be Brentford. Woo hoo.
I’ve been pretty zen about it all. I like Ange as a bloke and do believe he had a strong connection with the players.
However, the above is the strongest argument yet for parting ways.
I won’t belittle our win in Bilbao. If anything, the prize of CL football makes it just that little bit harder to win imo. Teams that would usually prioritise their league will fight harder in the EL now than before. It’s not tinpot (after the league title and CL it’s the next most prestigious)
It’s still a glorious feeling.
But you can’t argue that a squad capable of winning a European trophy is so shit that it finishes just outside of relegation. Thats on the manager. An inability to juggle the league with a winning cup run led to him getting the sack.
Most other seasons, our points haul would have seen us get relegated.
There’s another positive. If levy gets the next appointment wrong, there will be even more knives drawn. There’s still a host of people who think sacking Ange was the wrong thing to do. Levy is skating on very thin ice with the fans even though we’ve just won a trophy.
