I thought it was Ange causing all the Spurs muscle injuries?
Well I mean this is a flawed post isn't it?

Bentancur and Kudus have played every game so it was painfully obvious that was going to happen. Udogie was dealing with an injury pre season which was from last season and Richi has just had his best run not being injured.
 
What did he sacrifice from being sacked at Forest (or are we ignoring that?).
If it were almost any other manager, you’d consider he only had 8 games and the underlying stats were extremely positive, certainly considering the downhill slope he arrived on there. But like a lot on here, you just can’t let go of the hatred for a guy who managed us to a trophy win. The kind of attitude I’d expect if we were discussing an ex Woolwich manager.

I don’t rate Ramos, either, if it helps?
 
Think overall he's a better manager than the Ange-haters think, but a long way from the golden god all the Ange cultists think.

He's a manager with some significant strengths but some pretty massive flaws. If we'd bought him appropriate players last season I think we don't have the absolute shit-show of a league season, but I still think he would've had us down in mid-table as he was so bloody dogmatic about using a very specific approach that 80% of teams in the league learned how to exploit.

Europa was always going to be the pinnacle with Ange and for that he deserves massive credit, but I think anyone who genuinely believes if we'd kept him he would've led us to any kind of sustained success is kidding themselves.
 
100% shafted by Levy

He wasn't though - granted, we lost Keane and Berba, but he already had Pav, who was signed for him, and Bent who was a club record signing the previous season.
He had 5 wins in 18 in the 2nd half of his first season and is just another who got to hide behind the Keane/Berba thing but he was awful for us with those two in the squad anyway.

He then went to Real Madrid (somehow) and was a bit crap there too.


(Note: Redknapp got the same amount of wins in a month and a half, with the same squad, than Ramos got in 26 games from 1st Jan to his sacking)

Hate/Hatred is probably the most hurtful of words in the general English language vocabulary, however Ange has been called a fat cunt, a dick sucker, his ethnicity has been questioned and the list goes on by keyboard warriors who believe they are supporting the club by insulting a manager who gave us a great day last season, something a lot of his predecessors and current manager have not done before. Ange has won us a premier trophy and this is etched into our club history and it will not be change by fly by night haters who just love to hate.
 
I do find it funny how we buy the players the manager wants after they leave.

Ange badly wanted Gallagher as an all action presser while Conte wanted decent CB’s and wing backs.

Well Ange and Conte we have got them for you.
