Wrong about what exactly?

I was proven right beyond doubt when he went to his next club, peddled his brand of bullshit, and saw his team go winless in every single match they played until he was sacked in humiliating fashion.

He is a fraudulent charlatan who is incredibly easy to counter and once his motivational aura wore off, he was exposed. Many of our current problem have roots in the Ange era, which is obvious for those living in reality.
The only thing you’ve proven is that you’re a fool,top 5 first year and a trophy 2nd year,smart operator who put aside the league to win a trophy,something we know nothing about and gain us millions of pounds due to champions league qualification but at least you admit he has aura…….
 
I mean I don't care to get in an argument of defining various verbs about it, but he played weakened teams in the league to rest his best XI for Europe.

And he did this with the luxury of a league position that, while utterly pathetic, was in literally zero risk of relegation.

As of the first leg of the Frankfurt QF we were 17 points clear of the drop with 7 games to go, and 11 adrift of European qualification by any other means than winning the EL.

Plus of course at that point he was going to be sacked literally within hours of our exit from Europe, which he would have royally deserved for being in 14th with 37 points from 31 games.

It ain't fuckin' rocket science to see that the Europa League was the only thing that mattered to Ange at that point.

And given that he's gone and not coming back (literally no one on this board is advocating to rehire him), I don't see how any reasonable person can't just be magnanimous about us having gotten the absolute best thing Ange would have ever been capable of giving us. We got his very best, and now both parties can move on with their lives.
Ange fans havent moved on though.Keep pining for him and Plenty would love to see him back.
We were shit long before april last season in the league. Thankfully we shithoused our way to win a final after the players got him to change his unchangable principles.
Those same players that have down tools this season which i think is a follow up on last season.
I can thank ange for the trophy and never want to see him here again esp thanks to his interview with them bellends on the overlap

Yes, we should get Postecoglou back and let him finish the job. That is to relegate the club.

Who are these people that promised life would be wonderful after Ange? Its intresting when people "talk about Spurs fans " not 'Us or We'.Its very revealing.

I wanted Iraola not Frank and said so and never wanted Fat Postecoglou. Once they are in you go games and back them until you can not justify this from the evidence. I've stopped going till there's people in place I respect.

It's like wanting to bring back the Torys because Labour haven't improved anything

Go read the Thomas Frank thread up to around October.

Absolutely stuffed to the gills with "such and such player will be world class now that they have a real coach and not that Aussie contest winner fraud" day after day after day

There just is no contest as to which side of this debate has been more unreasonable and said more irrational things. I don't even care that much about Ange but the campaign against him is the most irrational thing I've seen on this board which is REALLY saying something.

No mate, it's the same life now as it was during Postecoglou. One of the big differences is that the sides which relegated last season were more hopeless than they are now, well specifically West Ham because they are the main threat to our safety.

In fact I fell out of love with our club when this man took charge, I understood that the board is not serious by hiring someone like him after months of laughable managerial search and despite being mocked after those famous 10 games, it has been proven that the appointment was a big drag towards the bottom half of the league.

His Europa League success is separate and deserves some credit. That's it.

There's no campaign against anyone. Not Ange and not Frank. Win games especially in the derby, get the support of fans of the football. Team. I can not encourage people enough stop believing this place matters it fucking does not. Me calling Ange fat doesn't hurt him he couldn't care less he isn't sitting around wiping away his tears with the millions in his bank account. We dont matter and its delusional to think differently.

Ive been going for over thirty years. I'll say allsorts here but... in the stadium I sing and cheer. Ive only booed at the end of a game. That has an effect. I have lost faith with the silly jam tomorrow promises of ENICS ownership sold 90% of their tenure as Daneil Levy's vision, it was the companies strategy. Property portfolio entertainment complex low salary high return EPL franchise. Now I'll not go regularly till they change or leave.

So I dont give a toss about Frank or Ange camps and who caught more shots. That's exactly what a football forum is for. Its literal purpose is to bitch and moan about likes and dislikes.

But trying to own complete strangers seems very odd to me. I think anyone who can't see they were both inadequate is weird AF. The biggest loser contest ..who cares. I think it must be about people who went BIG for either that need the win.
