Management Johan Lange - Technical Director

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Isn’t Lange the guy who is charged with getting in young players for the future?

If so, under the correct manager, will we end up looking back at his time here more positively?

His tenure has included Vuskovic, Odobert, Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Yang, Simons, Takai. If two or three of them work out as good signings, wouldn’t we consider him to be a success?
Not when you've made that your whole MO no, he's not a Youth Scout, he's supposed to be the DoF/Technical Director/Sporting Director or whatever you want to call it.

Maybe he can read a spreadsheet with the best of them, but the guy in that role also has to have a bit of personality, his lack of swagger trickled down to the management and the squad like a stream of warm piss and has left us with absolutely no identity.

I despise the man, and it's not often you find yourself feeling that way over somebody so utterly vanilla.

Yeah sack him now and bring in Dougie Freedman or similar to start plotting a way out of this mess

Freedman won't translate to what fans demand here.

Eze, Olise, Wharton etc. chose CP for first team game-time and a stepping stone.

Most of our fans are petrified of the "selling team" stigma and refuse to accept young players growing on the job anyway.

Can't trust AI, we signed Vuskovic, probably the biggest bargain on that list, before Lange joined.
