"When Tottenham went 2-0 up against Chelsea through Dejan Kulusevski after 11 minutes, one thing was absolutely certain: it would not finish that way. Control is something most managers crave but Ange Postecoglou apparently wants mayhem, and his arguably reckless high press and relentlessly high-tempo style occasionally produces spectacular results. But is it sustainable to play with all guns blazing, all season, as if the bell is about to ring for the end of lunch break? Predictably, Tottenham’s press combined with some slapdash defending afforded Chelsea the space they needed to get back into the game and win it. In terms of goalmouth action, it was similar to the recent 2-2 draw against Roma: a memorable affair but another Spurs lead squandered. Neutrals should thank Postecoglou for providing such a pleasing point of difference in the Premier League, but don’t expect the club’s fans to take the same view"
Pretty much says it all....... Of course Levy Is the bigger overall problem..... but the above & Ange's refusal to change what clearly isn't working is why he has to go. I'm not suggesting Spurs next manager is gonna win us the league or get us top 4 every season, but the starting point is to give us the best chance to win the game with the players at his disposal.... Its not rocket science

Its a rebuild, there are flashes of brilliance in the way Ange plays, who says if get another manager we would be 2-0 up in the first place against chelsea.
Their goal wasn't because our defenders were out of position, ill discipline cost us two penalties, we had our two centre backs go off injured and currently our squad is not good enough replace injured players.
We could always bring in a new manager though and go back to square one, that always seems to work for us, only don't call it a rebuild.

It is a rebuild as we have been getting rid of all the old players and bringing in a load of youngsters while completely changing the way we play.
That's the thing with a rebuild, it takes time to get it right and in our case it seems quite a lot of windows to get the squad as the manager wants it.

Wasn’t furious at any point - I said you would win and we would pick up injuries. The only thing I got wrong was that John Terry didn’t shahggg one into the back of the net

I said the same about Conte - but everyone wanted him out. He is now fighting for the title with Napoli whilst we’re 11th and fighting for dignity

You can see why this style would have worked in the crappy leagues he's managed in. Take Celtic for example, he wouldn't need to rein in on his style because the opponents are too rubbish to do anything about it. We should have taken more notice of what his European record was like with Celtic as that is of a closer standard to the PL, and he did nothing. Not even any good upsets.

Let’s face it, Scotland has made many an average manager look good. Neil Lennon, Gerrard and Rogers anyone? All tore it up in Scotland and did jack shiiit in England
