Really...I want enic and Levy gone but, unlike you, u fucking fool I can see Ange, employed by Levy and Enic wasn't up to it. 18 months of shit relegation form football points to that. 17 defeats 38 points, the lowest in Tottenham's history. You're trolling and you know you are

More fool you for engaging then, have you even had breakfast yet?
 
Go away u fkin troll

Mate, be real. You'd be acting similar if he was kept on.

"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.

Tell you what. Go and rewatch the last 10 games we played in the league this season and then come back and tell me this wasn't a football decision.
 
Mate your thoughts regarding players commitment to managers is a bit naive . Romero may well go but not because of Ange getting sacked , he'll go for himself . Got no idea why you think the other 2 or any of the other players would go either .
Footballers and professional sportsmen in general are mercenary as .
Nah they'll all sign en masse for Tiger Balm FC in a few weeks when Ange lands there, such is their dedication to the Antipodean Mike Basset.
 
I think we agree. Levy needs out. Been singing that for a while. But Ange was definitely not the Messiah. He won't win anything. He won't even get you close. My theory, he only won the Europa because players decided to do their own thing.

I didn't want Poch, Jose, or Conté out. I was nailed for liking "Anti Football". In Ange's case, it didn't go "Pearshaped" cause there never was any fruit. 22 losses and you still want him in?
"It's better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt "

Words you really should try to embrace

Had the final gone the other way, all these press idiots would be saying 'worst league finish since 1928' and brand him worst ever.....

Btw , when Ange came in, did you say 'Lets be Yokohoma, Lets be Celtic '...Woo hoo ????? 🤷‍♂️

People have a go at Brentford, forgetting Ange came from SPL
People have a go at Levy, when Levy also appointed Ange in first place.

Ange is not sacked for EL win, he is sacked for going back on his philosophy, his word on how he always want to win (even if that win could mean Arse lift the title)...., his tactical naivety and unable to stop the rot that began in December 2023 in league....

He is gone, move on now.
 
The guy has something very rare, very few managers will ever get to do and that is leave on a high. Have positive stuff written about him, and do so knowing he has left the club in a great position to move forward.

Everyone actually wins here
 
He was on top of him.

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.
Of course the players were motivated to win the CL final. Are you suggesting anything else? It was a disaster but not due to lack of motivation.
 
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
To disagree with the decision is one thing, there are people who put more stock in trophies than actual day job performance and that's fine, evidently some are also happy to go to the extreme with that, but those acting like it's a ludicrous decision are just outing themselves as absolute idiots, or trolls.
 
All very bizarre.

Postecoglou gone - good. Other narratives are understandable but definitely myopic because of the Europa win. If not, then even more bizarre.

The players are somewhat pathetic. They were part of why Postecoglou had to go and talk.of team spirit having lost 22 games is worthy of incarceration.

The media have a job to do - ignore their sh!t.

Levy and co need to have identified the new man, and back them suitably.

So glad we can now start to move on but my God, we are a strange fanbase.

My heart says he should have been given at least the first 10 games but my head says this was the right decision , at least now he leaves as the man who won the EL and not the man who had us on course for a consecutive bottom half finish.
