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?

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!!!
 
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.
Can't believe I'm saying this but we could really do with Hojberg.
 
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
I can't understand why fans can't see this.
Look at where we were when Redknapp replaced Ramos. Even before the window opened and he got Defoe and Keane back we immediately improved. Basic coaching.
Newcastle had Shearer, Ferdinand and Ginola 😱

Was that the same side containing Asprilla?

I was wobbling back then. I was only a teenager and I had Newcastle fans as friends (who still go regularly now)
I very nearly switched allegiance.

Fun fact. I signed Ferdinand and Ginola on football manager 9x for Spurs before Spurs actually did it. They were awesome for my team.

What has Levy ever done on the football side of things that makes you think he's NOT that dumb?
The man's a football imbecile.
 
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
All managers have their contract paid up one way or another upon being sacked.

The suggestion here is that somehow he would get more for still being in Europa.

Sounds like an absolute nonsense clause to me, and exactly the opposite of something that Levy would agree to.

Imagine we'd lost 10 on the bounce at the beginning of the season but couldn't sack Ange because the Europa was still in the League phase and the FA Cup hadn't started yet...
 
I've just got in from the game . What a fiasco - 1-0 down within 3mins , the players looked at each other as if it was something they expected . The calamity 2nd goal - those happen instead of pushing the ball aside Vicario pushed it out at Spence and it bounced off him into the net . The wolves supporters sang songs - To which we sang "How shit must you be it's only 2-0" and "You're nothing special we lose every week" . Half time 2-0 . 2nd half and we made some substitutions , Tel scored a tap in 2-1 , Romero had a brain fart and we conceded from it - we were 3-1 down and wolves supporters were singing "you're fucking shit" , to which we replied "we're fuckin shit" . Richarlison scored a header 3-2 then Bergvall had a brain fart and we conceded 4-2 . The talk in the minibus on the way home was of Ange's job and that he'll likely get sacked if we lose on Thursday . Me personally I think he'll get sacked even if he wins EL trophy . this has got to be our worst season for 20 odd years . Losing to 3 , could be 4 of the bottom 5 teams is just unacceptable . As is losing 17 games in a single season - and the season still has 6 games to go . We could end up losing 20 games , that's borderline relegation form . I've decided I'm not going to the Liverpool game , I've just about had enough of sitting in traffic because they close half the roads on Sundays and Bank holiday Mondays for roadworks or engineering works . It takes over 5 hours to get home and when you're on the end of a defeat it hangs heavily on you and seems to take forever to get home . I wasn't going to the Wolves game but changed my mind last minute . Let's see if we beat EF on Thursday , maybe I'll change my mind about the bindippers game...........Up The Spurs

COYS...&...TTID...............CSWY

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.
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 .
 
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.

We’re NOT getting relegated; however hopeful you are it simply AINT happening.

Apart from that ; the League’s obviously a write -off ; as it was best part of three months ago ( re significant European positions ) .

It’s all about Thursday ; nothing else matters .

If that goes breasts-uo : then we can all relax and stop worrying for the next 3 and a half months . Then we can start worrying again.

In the grand scheme of things ; today meant f-all .
 
Good on him. He’s probably fucked off and angry with the performance and the club
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.
 
Take it not worth tuning into MOTD then?
Had a lovely lunch with my cousin instead of tuning in to listen to the game, think I made the right choice.
As I thought, wasn't at all surprised that we lost this one, the only surprise was that I thought Wolves would overtake us in the League, suppose that will come next week.
Hate being this negative and resigned, although always nervous before games, the hope has disappeared. I honestly can't see us winning a game this season.
