I had to laugh at the latest BBC article on him where they list a bunch of terrible stats from this season and then follow it with a headline about Ange being under pressure with a question mark. To question if he'll be under pressure is ridiculous.

I also keep hearing comments about how he's a nice bloke or likeable, usually followed by a 'but' and I don't get why? He's arrogant, deluded, a bad loser, has a go at his own fans, loses his temper with interviewers and journalists. None of the other managers in the league act like this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely agree with this and I think I said this in the early days. He's an arrogant priccck. Never liked him as a person. If he'd done the business for us on the pitch, I'd probably like him more for having achieved something but I'd still retain the thought he's not my type of person. He's so rude to reporters. There's just no need for it. He's either cocky because he's just won and arrogant in front of the cameras or narky after a loss.

Christ, someone bring back the decency of Poch. A thoroughly nice guy and a far, far, far better coach.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He seems ok when we win but you'd expect that. I think you tend to learn more about a person in the face of adversity and he often shows his true colours here. The having a go at fans who pay hard earned cash to come and watch you is just something you should never do.

Together with our form, things like the taunt yesterday and getting into verbals with fans are sackable offences under normal circumstances. I guess Levy really is saving on some sort of compensation by not sacking him while in the cup. That's the only realistic explanation that makes sense for now.

This is one reason I want Iraola because of his personality. There's a man who acts with class even when things don't go well. Ange on the other hand comes across as a bit of a volatile character. Maybe not as bad as Jose when things go wrong but definitely prone to letting things get to him. Probably why it's always short lived with Jose at any club, as I suspect it would be with Ange when not managing in a league where you don't face adversity i.e. at Celtic in the SPL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The guy has a chip on his shoulder for sure!

He doesnt have the CV to be able to stick 2 fingers up at his haters so publicly, but I get the feeling he reads all the write-ups and criticism, he hears all the pundits and abuse, and that chip means he cannot rise above but bites.

That's fine but if you're gonna bite, you must also deliver.

A "Fnck you, what do you know!" attitude rings hollow when you've lost more than half your games.

I’m sure it’s been commented on / mentioned but his cupping of the ear to his own fans was a disgrace

Anyone left defending this absolute clown needs their head read and I want to know what they are watching that I’m missing

I feel a bit sorry for him as he has blown up now and he can’t come back from it but acting like a rival manager, player or fan would react to his own clubs fans was the final nail for me

He is toxic ……im fed up of reading how we can’t keep changing manager ….so let’s just keep him on then , even though he is broken and not good enough

Mason is shat but I’d rather him til the end of the season …fully expected Ange to be sacked today and im disappointed he wasn’t

I wouldnt go that far.

If you're gonna boo and sing you dont know your doing when he makes subs, than you're kinda asking for it if that sub then scores (sadly disallowed).

Hand it out then be prepared to take some back. May be he should have let the VAR check through first.

Come on Devon , I get the if you give it you need to take it stuff but we are in a bad place and a bit of composure wouldn’t have gone a miss …if we weren’t doing so badly I wouldn’t be so bothered

He was goading the spurs fans who quite rightly are booing his decisions

Bergvall , yes had been ill, but was probably our best player last night so subbing him and leaving bentencur on was crazy

Ange couldn’t wait to try and get one over his own fans

I don’t think I’ve gone far enough ….jose and conte were toxic , this guy is worse than them

No manager should do it even with a fantastic CV. You've got to know to rise above it but this is part of the make up of his character. He simply does not handle criticism well and gets too emotional after losing. I don't know how this transfers to the dressing room. I guess it's become evident that connect between him and the players is a bit broken as most of the experienced players don't bother turning up anymore and messages left during pre-kick off and half time talks aren't adhered to as we seem to want to concede as soon as possible.

Surely you have seen that now he has more of his full squad available and is still losing, there really is no worth in keeping him anymore?

OP

You do know Spurs have lost over 20 games in a season on several occasions? Or do you not know Spurs history?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes but in terms of loss percentage it currently is our highest ever, or do you not know basic maths?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

How can it be our highest ever? The season hasn't even finished yet. It is tou that need to learn basic maths, the season is over 38 games, not 30.

And your article clearly states worse ever season in Spurs history, when there is still eight matches to play.

Not the brightest are you?

I am sure Ange can live with the fact a jerk like you call him a pr**ck, whilst fawning over the biggest fraud in football, Pochettino.

Great video by Adam Clery on Spurs.

Angeball is a thing & it does work (stats back this up), you're just unbelieveably predictable. Because you never, EVER go long, teams know they can full on aggressively press you without fear of getting caught in-behind, and if you manage to bypass that just stick in a compact block & say 'go on then, break us'.

This paints a clear & undeniable picture. The style suits your team & the players are performing well, the managers lack of flexibility is the problem!

Supporters booing their own players and manager get everything they deserve. Ange doesn't deserve all the stuck he gets. It's a game of football FFS. If supporters take it so seriously, they must have one hell of a dull life.

I love the fact that Levy isn't listening to Spurtle and Fridge. I find it highly amusing that for once Levy is not going to pull the trigger to satisfy kneejerk fans, most of whom never set foot inside WHL.
