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:

Yet he was replaced with someone everyone regards having been clueless in Thomas Frank, and our form is unchanged.

To be fair to Ange, Frank was a lot worse.

Not saying Ange could've fixed it in his third season, just that he may as well have been given a shot to prove us all wrong again and then sacked for someone better than Frank.

You simply don't get it.

I thought he deserved the sack. I was wrong. It turned out to be a catastrophic mistake - many of which have nothing to do with his managerial ability or whether he would have done better this year or not.

It's not my "blind love for him" that matters (I have no more love for him than I did for Conte, Poch, or Harry or Jol). It's how the players felt about him.

When you get that you stand a chance of understanding why we are so fucking close to getting relegated.
 
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.

Yeah because the club was flying high after Conte AND winning a trophy we haven't won in may fans lifetimes is the root cause of our current problems /s.
 


We haven’t been relegated yet you tossers. I know you’re absolutely thrilled at the prospect so you can fellate Ange and act like being in charge just prior to a club being relegated is a positive (it isn’t) but calm down.

He didn’t “love” the club either. He loves himself and the club is a vehicle for his own ego. How anyone could listen to him on that G Neville show and think he “loves” us is beyond stupid.
 
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.
Do i take it that there is some revisionists emerging from those who hated the fat prick!

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.

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.

Putting Ange in the same breath as Son is ridiculous.
