Winning the Europa League was the turning point that Spurs needed. Do you really think Romero, Porro, Rodri would still be at the club had we not won? Would Danso, Muani, Simmons, Palhinha, Kudus signed for a team not in the Champions League?

The Ange boys told us the former group would leave if he were sacked, so…?
The only manager cult i disliked was the Mourinho one.
But it's a one in a hundred year event when the winner of a European trophy all most gets relegated.
It was a fantastic night, but finishing 17th was a more accurate representation of our season.
The truth is, we need to be at the top competing, as it gives us a greater chance of winning. Ange was never going to do that, ever. And he lucked out that he won a trophy as 99.9% of the time, a team as poor as our last season, would have been ejected from the cup long before reaching the final.
It's sad thing to say, but the truth.
It’s impossible to say for certain but if somehow you could prove that without Ange we don’t win the EL and Levy stays surely that would make him a legend of the club. A statue with the word ‘mate’ outside the stadium to be put up next to a statue of Levy with his shiny bald head pointing at his stadium legacy.
delusional again from you
If you think there was anything in that performance that night that showed a blueprint of how we could win matches the following season then you know even less about the game than I have credited you for.
Oooh! we can scrape past the most dysfunctional United team for 50 years who finished 15th in the PL. Scoring from our one chance, the scrappiest goal you'll ever see!
Very similar to Chavs flukey CL win v Bayern when against his better judgement Abramovich was persuaded to keep RDM. Only to have to fire him a few weeks later.
I'll give you another one - they came within a missed pen of winning another one under Avram Grant. I suppose you'd have kept him on too? Got fired from Spam later, while they still had a proper ground too.

Ok, good start, especially if we’re talking about what it means for the history of the club etc.
Now that’s the harry7 I know. A poor take delivered extremely confidently. Yes, we’d have signed/kept all of them even if the players hadn’t taken it upon themselves to just play normal football and win the damn thing.
The only name there that’s slightly debatable for me is Simons and even then I still think we’d have signed him. Kudus, Danso, to use your examples? (Ignoring the fact Danso had signed on a loan with obligation in Jan anyway) Turning down moves from West Ham and Lens? Come on now.
Fucking hell. It wasn't about anything other than installing a belief in a group of players that they could win, and bonding them over the course of the journey to get there.
So much of the game at that level is mental.
You remember it because we were seconds away from going out.
You remember it because of the adrenaline we all felt from clutching victory from the jaws of defeat - it had nothing to do with it being a more prestigious moment for the club.
You know we were 3-0 down in that tie at one point, right???
You also remember us not turning up at all at the final - the single biggest night in the clubs modern history after absolutely capitulating in the league at the end of that season with form as bad as Ange's? In our last 12, we W3 D3 and L7

Muani, Palhinha, Simmons would NO WAY have signed for Spurs if we weren't playing Champions League Football. Romero would have 100% not signed a new contract and would very likely have moved.
This thread got moved to the general section for a reason
Actually amazed the amount of people willing to move on and forget about him yet keep on being attracted back in here like flies on shit just to tell people they don't want to see this thread.
Is that not fucking ass backward?
Absolute Muppets lmao

Seems very odd the disrespect that fans show. You would think that a guy who has worked his way up from tiny local teams in Aus....all the way to winning international trophies and European championships would be a fairytail story that would be celebrated. Aside from Celtic, he never once went into a team that was performing well. He took underachievers and turned them into winners in a very short time.
If anyone has ever seen the Australian team play football - you'd know what a miracle he performed with them
He helped Spurs turn a corner and has set them up for a new era.
I find it odd that people are willing him to fail. Good luck to him at Forest.
Do agree, don’t hate him. Do think he had something to do with the MGW thing in the summer though. I reckon he stitched us up there.
Still finishing 4th, after a summer with no spend and Harry Kane injured. Poch worked a miracle.
I’m not against Ange either, just wanted some balance
Say what you like about him, harry7 has won a trophy in his 6th season here.Seems very odd the disrespect that fans show.

Sure, but if we are talking about performances..... the CL run masked some absolutely horrendous football and it's not like we were fielding bad teams....
Monty Pythons The meaning of strife!
Which you can thank Ange for.
