Like "country" music, its all fake now. Pop music and hip hop with forced fake accents. Wildly drunken Bachelorette parties screaming incessantly outside all new megaclubs that are all hype. Still some good troubadors on Broadway, but you're unlikely to really see one anymore.It hasn't been 20 years, but I won't lie, it was like 9 years ago.
And it's not JUST Ange. Good work has been done by Levy/Lange/Paratici to continue turning over the squad, getting younger and with better characters in the dressing room, and just improving and modernizing the recruitment operation generally.
Ange benefitted from that stuff as surely as Frank will (the nadir of the squad was back with Nuno), but it was an unproven step into the unknown at the time he was taking over.
Spurs go into 25/26 stronger than they went into 23/24. That's categorically inarguable, beyond any rational debate.
It's only when you insert the name of the Bad Aussie Man that people go insane and start twisting any truth to fashion into a stick to beat him with.
"Mason disaster season" was what Tottenham Hotspur had become in that moment. There were no more false idol Conte's to paper over the rot that had been festering through the club since the Summer 2018 betrayal.
We didn't fill that hole in Bilbao. But we did at least stop digging.

...and it's google translate for everything else.

They just aren't smart enough to distinguish "the situation is better now" from "Ange did a good job and should still be the manager"Amusing how riled up these basic facts get people on here.
No dickheads and all that

I've been responding to your opinions masquerading as facts. I'm convinced you believe they ARE facts.Amusing how riled up these basic facts get people on here.

Such a disingenuous post removing all context.Ange joined us with no European football, a 15 year trophy drought, and preparing to sell the club's all-time leading scorer.
Ange left us with the trophy hoodoo broken and in the Champions League.
"Poor Thomas, our prayers that you might survive the disaster the Bad Fraud Man left for you"

Oh well, not going to let it bother me. Onward.
What growing head?Came for the tactical analysis
Stayed for Rooney's growing head

Seems to me that Vinai Venkatesham has started to cook.Time will tell but i'm very happy with the appointment and him getting his back room staff. The last 2 years has just felt so amateurish, personified by that chucked together coaching team.
Fair play to the powers that be as well. They could have taken the cheap, cowardly approach and stuck with what we had but have acted and for once got their first choice by stumping up the dough. The truth now, as always, will be in who we sign. Can they back this decent move up?
On ignore you go, you sad cunt.That’s what you were doing? Cool. If you tell yourself that, I hope it helps
