Romero
That's not what you do in normal circumstances, but this isn't normal circumstances - this is a complete farce!Good on him. He’s probably fucked off and angry with the performance and the club
So far he's waaay overstayed his welcome, but surely....surely.....when we lose on Thursday or the next europa game (if we're lucky), he'll be gone. In agreement that it boggles the mind - out of all the managers he could of chosen to stick with through thick and thin, he chose the Aussie journeyman over two big time trophy magnets in Jose and Conte!!!Surely Levy can't be that dumb that he actually believes the
"I always win a trophy in my second season"
bollocks.
This is now a total laughable situation where we've got a complete and utter failure with the worst stats for 30 years as manager and no end in sight as to when he's going to be relieved of his position.
Poch, Mourhino and Conte were nowhere near as bad as this when they got the boot, so why is Ange being given so much leeway?
Can't believe I'm saying this but we could really do with Hojberg.Had a few dickwads like him back in the day when I played, and funnily enough a couple Italians. But biggest cunt was a Nordic guy who thought he was the dog's bollocks cause he used to be tracked by serious clubs. Man would've have mad fits on & off the pitch pretty much daily, but it was always words so we got to that point where we'd just ignore him.
Til one day he got physical with one of our dudes who was half his size...during the fucking game. Ref sent him off, coach told him to piss off and that he'd get a fine for the ages.
Fuck me, I couldn't wait for the whistle to get back to the changing room and knock his bells out. Didn't even have time to grab him, another couple of lads jumped on him and all hell broke loose. Coaches managed to get in between, things settled down after a few intense minutes, one of the directors went ballistic and them two lads who battered the cunt got fined too...but fuck it, they were legends now and the rest of the squad coughed up on their behalf.
Also, the prick had learnt his lesson, apologised to the whole club, paid his fine, served his suspension (that had been rightly extended by the club), took us all out for a meal...the whole nine yards. He was still an obnoxious prick afterwards and would still throw tantrums, but nowhere near as bad as before and it was mostly with the opposition and refs. Never hit one of our lads ever again.
Whether you've played pro or amateur, we've all had cunts like that to deal with. And fights between teammates are a pretty common thing, it just rarely goes public cause clubs are terrified of bad press. But when that happens, you just gotta have someone on your team that's gonna grab the prick by the collar and set him right...not tomorrow or the week after, do it right now and fuck the consequences, the vast majority of the squad will back you up. Thing is at Spurs, there's the weakest leadership group in the history of humanity...and the offenders are an integral part of that group.
I can't understand why fans can't see this.I agree the squad needs upgrading but even if we could just coach the team to defend properly and stop playing this ridiculous level of playing out from the back we would improve 10 fold overnight

All managers have their contract paid up one way or another upon being sacked.If your a manager that Spurs want to sign you would only sign if you get money if sacked before end of each season
we have a habit of sacking managers so find it hard to get new manager (even paying big wages) so as a manager you would want a backstop
Not the first time
It will be interesting to see just how quickly he gets the boot. That same night? At the full time whistle? I wonder if the Bald Avenger is sharpening his axe!

I think what fans are struggling to understand is that a well coached team is set up ‘incase ‘ midfielders lose the ball in dangerous areas , our shape when we lose possession is not normal , how many times are the full backs ahead of midfielders , how many times do we lose the ball in midfield and it’s a 4 on 2 , this is a very badly drilled team , a spurs team that I’ve never seen play like in 50 years of supporting them. It’s a free for all , it makes Ardiles tactics look like mourinho .Ok I understand.
Ange is scoring own goals, fails to control the ball although a world champion and choses to dribble while being the last man.
Good bye.
We should be bang in a relegation scrap right now. Very very fortunate the bottom 3 have been that poor this season. Fuck ange fuck levy fuck the players.
Probably agree. At Goodison this year, Ange made the players and staff stay behind for an extended fans clap appreciation thing. It was weird as fuck. I’m fed up of the hand claps. It’s pointless. We know the players don’t deserve us. The manager doesn’t deserve us. The owner and Chairman don’t deserve us. They can all get to fuck.Good on him. He’s probably fucked off and angry with the performance and the club
