Then we sacked him because the media got in half of our "supporters" heads.
United moving forward, Tottenham on the verge of relegation. Spursy tag is well and truly back.
No it's not.
We are genuinely at risk of going down, mate. It's nothing like last year at all.
It's time to be serious.
So many delusional fans trying to kid themselves into thinking this.
This is on every supporter who were creaming their pants at the thought of Ange being sacked last season.
I think we sacked him for setting a club record for losses and finishing 17th, not because the first 20% of his reign was good
Club has to take a huge slice of that blame , like 80 percent at least imo
Odobert
Gray
Bergvall
Solanke
Is a joke when you've lost Kane and Son. And you already know you have an injury prone left back, ACM and LCB
Here you go, 4 teenager prospects who have no business starting on the premier league and a one hit wonder
Connor Gallagher is just the chefs kiss really
It's nothing to do with Ange or the quality of the Spurs team last season.
It's just a matter of fact that the bottom 3 last season never showed a pulse, ever.
We were two points short of the total it would ultimately require to avoid relegation before Christmas last year.
We won 4-1 at Ipswich on February 22nd last season to go 16 points clear of the drop, with all three of the bottom 3 on fewer points than Burnley have right now. It just never got tight at all, through no virtue of our own.

No, we sacked him because after he 23 points from the first 9 games (as per the tweet - 2.55 ppg) he only got 81 from the the next 67 (1.20 ppg)
FYI, the first batch would average a 96.9 point season
the second batch would average a 45.6 point season
That window will relegate us.
This summer and January windows just put a full stop on it.
In hindsight sacking a manager who had just won a European trophy and whose players absolutely worshipped him was a gutsy decision.
Replacing him with a midtable nice guy and buying West Ham's 3rd best player to replace one of the clubs legends in Son has turned out to be the worst decision ever made in Tottenham's history.
I always knew this season would be a struggle but I never imagined for a second that it would get this bad. Never imagined the club wouldn't hedge against another injury crisis.
Utter fucking shambles

Take that now.
I've enjoyed the continuing longevity of this thread but it's charm has started to wane. We're in big trouble as a club, and, as entertaining as the entrenched positions of contributors has been, it's time move on. Thanks for the laughs

Which we'll end up nowhere near.
One thing about keeping Ange, had we started this season in the same kind of form, there would have been a much quicker reaction than the months of sleepwalking we did under Frank.
I'm curious as to what you think "moving on" looks like in the context of the ruinous position the club is in.I've enjoyed the continuing longevity of this thread but it's charm has started to wane.

Please enlighten us.
I'm saying we should move on from talking about someone who was our manager two managers ago. It's a waste of time given, to use your terminology (with which I agree), 'the ruinous position of the club'.
People are kidding themselves if they think that sudden decline is coincidental
The boring reality of Ange Postecoglu is in fact the 60 points he took from the 38 league games from 1 December 2023 to 1 December 2024 with no table-topping miracles, no insane availability crises, no desperation Dycheball to break a trophy drought, just an okay manager playing very aggressively and leaking a lot of goals.
There was more "normalcy" in there than we remember.
There have been many managers in the past with amazing over-achieving first seasons, and then decline and collapse to follow. TImes when Burley (I think) had Ipswich in and around the top 4 or 5 (Richard Wright era) and then fell away, or Phil Brown with Hull (?). Not making direct comparisons other than a style sometimes pops onto the scene and catches other teams unaware, but fades away back to being easy to beat.
Feel like maybe Sunderland this season and Southampton (Hassenhutl?) a few season ago were similar.
What we had has clearly not sustainable in this league. What's happened since is just bizarre. Feels we went double or nothing and now have the latter
