That was a TITS post. Insolvent Spurs taking the piss because he apparently cried during the Tel recruitment process

Ange finished 5th and won a European trophy in 2 seasons.
He’s nowhere near the same category as Lange and Frank.
Like it or not, Ange will be welcomed back to the club in the future and get an outstanding reception,
Frank and Lange will be forgotten as long as we recover from the damage done by them
I remember the post reporting it, it was a different post but from this parody account

Nah I don't think that was it.
It's not really a narrative that Lange is out of his depth.
Well first of all, that is the textbook definition of a narrative.
But more importantly, this wasn’t about Lange being out of his depth. It was about POK making stuff up / guessing.
Here you go. The fucker even tagged the Athletic to really take the piss

To be honest I was moved to tears whenever I watched Frankball.

So it wasn't taken from The athletic?
Why do you have so much faith in Lange?
He’s shown himself to be utterly clueless time after time - Lange and Les Francais
Nope. He was taking the piss
There were credible reports that Lange cried trying to recruit Tel
I haven’t expressed an opinion on Lange today. I’ve just fact checked obvious lies and misinformation. Is that inconvenient?
You spend a lot of time on here and yet your literacy skills seem to be frighteningly low.
Rather ironic this because I havent said anything about today, I'm talking about the general pattern of your posts since Lange has been in charge you seem to think you know more about everyone else about Lange and generally defending him or are you just doing the usual LaParisien trolling act?
I don’t know more than anyone else about Lange. But as we can see from the thread today, I don’t pretend to know things that I don’t. I don’t state things as fact that have no serious evidence.
Facts matter.
You mean you ignore blatant red flags and don't use any critical thinking to come to a conclusion about our Sporting Dir
Interesting to know if you think he should still keep his job based on his time here, or perhaps you still think he will leave a brilliant legacy behind once he eventually fucks off.
Can you see why I posed the question?
The key to this is to be honest about what we don’t know.
It’s clearly a system with many different people involved and we don’t have lot of insight. There’s no way to see behind the curtain.
I think the biggest mistake was hiring Frank. He was the wrong choice. Managerial appointments are difficult.
Money spent this season
Woolwich - €295m (4 signings above 50m)
Chelsea - €339 (3)
Liverpool - €482m (3)
Man City - €305m (2)
Man Utd - €337m (3)
Tottenham - €265 (2)
So the other big 6 clubs spent anywhere between 11% and 82% more than us. And this repeats year after year.
Do you think that is Lange’s fault? Do you think hes given more money to spend and chooses not to spend it?
Now when we look at wages the closest club is Chelsea who spend 25% more than us. Everyone else spends more than that.
So these are the facts and my INFERENCE is that Lange is not responsible for the difference in spending on transfer fees and wages and so the pool of players is limited.
So you’re Tottenham’s director of football and told to compete with other clubs while spending less on transfer fees and wages. How do you make lemonade from lemons?
Well I think his strategy of trying to sign the best young players he can is smart given the constraints he is dealing with . Nearly every signing is 18-24. Young players command smaller wages. Many have a lot of experience given their age and have high upside.
But there is no way to compete with clubs in the short term when other clubs will spend more on transfer fees and wages year after year (without a lot of luck).
