His thread innitFuck me, 6 pages since I last read this thread and people are still arguing the toss on Ange![]()


Yet he was replaced with someone everyone regards having been clueless in Thomas Frank, and our form is unchanged.Since the 1991-92 season we have had almost 20 different managers at Tottenham ( excluding caertakers or interim managers like Pleat, Mason, Stellini, Tudor etc.).
In those 35 years, a mere 6 of those managers, succeeded in guiding Spurs to a top 5 finish in the league.
Only 3 more of them succeeded in winning a major trophy with the club.
But over the last three and a half decades just 1 man managed to achieve both:

How do you know how i was feeling when ange got sacked? Was i happy he was gone yes. Was i thankful for winning a trophy yes.
Your blind live for him is fucking weird
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.
Do i take it that there is some revisionists emerging from those who hated the fat prick!Good post. This is pretty much where I'm at too. I think we (and I include myself in this too, for sure) are quick to want to sack the manager when things are bad, *even when* we know the problem isn't the manager. I think back to the Amazon series, where you can watch Jose see in real time how the squad was not at all what he thought it was--Erickson's head was long turned, Dier was a man with no position after injuries (too slow for midfield, lacking the instincts for central defense, and remember how Jose wanted him for big money at United and we refused), Dele was a shadow of himself (Dele's brother!), etc. From that, to Conte's multiple tirades about the degradation of the roster, to window after window of no buys and/or poor buys (we all remember Poch crying out for a "painful rebuild"), we all *know* the squad had become a total mess.
I'm not saying Ange is the answer at all. But I loved the way he spoke about the club, his attacking ethos, his Poch-like utter belief in Tottenham. Maybe he would've flamed out this season too--I think *any* manager, a resurrected Bill Nic, would have been helpless with this squad and its injuries. But I regret us not giving him a chance.
The only one's left still beating that drum of pure disrespect are the full-on 1000% weapons of our fanbase who probably can't wipe their ass without giving themselves a paper cut.Do i take it that there is some revisionists emerging from those who hated the fat prick!

Ange and Son are the last legends we will see at this club for a long while. To treat anyone of this status at our club with such little respect just shows exactly what sort of person you are, and exactly why we're in this mess.
Quite possibly the worst supporters in English football. No wonder the players can't be fucked to be here.
