Yeah that's about it. Your bank manager will be over the moon in about 18 months.
You just have to grit your teeth and take the flack and be the whipping boy when it all inevitably comes falling down around you, broken promise, after broken promise.
16 managers....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone suggesting a manger wouldnt trade, say, Bournemouth for Spurs is a bit daft, but if they had other options they may well consider them first before Spurs, even at 'lesser' clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously if you're at Bournemouth/Southampton and not likely to be getting orders from clubs like City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Madrid etc etc Spurs is unbelievable job.
But as you say if there is a chance that you may get a shot at one of those clubs you are definitely better off at "stable" clubs like Bournemouth because you at least know what you have from the start and not get dicked around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the path is clear for Iraola in the summer unless Chelsea drop Maresca. Liverpool clearly won’t change, City won’t, United won’t and Arsenal won’t.
I can’t see Newcastle or Villa changing either.
So I think it will depend on Chelsea, but I reckon they might give Maresca another season first. In which case, if we’re still in the Prem we’re a bigger draw than Bournemouth

Be interesting how they feel if we go out of the cup and performances in the league are still dire. Can't see a win in the league coming anywhere soon with the next set of fixtures.
I do understand that it would be better to conduct a proper manager search in the summer than panic appoint someone, however I'm not sure someone even just filling in until the end of the season couldn't do any worse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Got City and United at home shortly. Should be six points. Spurs have beaten both twice comfortably already this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes that’s how football works Sandy
We beat Everton 4-0 earlier in the season and then got battered by them last week

Just get Rafa or Harry for 5 months, pick up the 10 points needed and appoint Iraola in the summer - a 10 year old could work it out but the worst football chairman on the planet cannot
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we can't get Iraola though, who would we get? Frank?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We would find it very difficult to appoint a manager more tactically lacking than Ange is.
Carrick, McKenna, Rodger’s, Frank, even Dyche would be an improvement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross has a better win percentage as manager at Spurs than Ange
----------------------------------------------------------------------
However much the Ange In fans want to try and dress it up, Ange is not the man for us. It's been clear he's out of depth in this league for a while.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not Ange in, i just not Ange out. I think there is a difference. I am not saying he's the long term answer, but I am saying that he is not the main cause of this massive slump. He has ridiculous injuries to deal with but he has not been given the help needed to ride through this time.
Where we would ben if we had had fewer injuries, who knows. No one can truly judge or know whether we would have addressed issues and progress through this season. He has been denied that opportunity but in the face of a crisis he has been denied help from Lange/Levy. He must feel utterly deserted and IMO i would not be surprised if he has considered walking away, and may well do so, if he is left high and dry once this window shuts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The big question regarding the injuries is how much it's as a result of him. We can talk about how well he's coping without the players but there are genuine questions to be had now about why they are so common under him and whether it's linked to his training methods and style of football. And in the case of a couple I think you can only look back at the decision to play Romero and VDV straight away after injury by the manager as one that completely backfired. I'd be worried we'd get the same thing when they come back.
Regardless of injuries, we should be beating or not losing against these lesser teams with the team we played. That can only be put on the manager. It's all part of a larger issue that suggests it's more than the injuries, which is our dreadful record of conceding goals and losing games when we've taken the lead.

Carrick, McKenna, Rodger’s, Frank, even Dyche would be an improvement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah you can throw out any names that would be an upgrade on Ange...Mick McCarthy etc..
Carrick is too much of a risk for me. Not sure about McKenna after how they are faring in the PL. Look how Frank has managed to keep up a promoted team for so long and McKenna will be taking his back down as soon as they came up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair though - Brentford had been building for ages and probably should have come up sooner than they did.
Ipswich were in League 1 the season before last, McKenna has achieved double promotion and they have spent buttons. Half that squad is still league 1 level. Brentford came up with the likes of Toney, Benrahma, Wissa - all Ipswich have is Delap
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I think he's still a good manager and he's obviously done great things with Ipswich, I just feel he's more questionable now because of their PL performance.
Iraola is by far the best candidate and fit IMO for Spurs so if we don't get him then it's a slight drop in levels with the rest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's one say Ange wind the CC , FA Cup , and EL but gets us relegated dow we keep him?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a tough question cause I feel like he'd be more at home in the Championship. The trouble is that we'd keep getting injuries.
The only scenarios that are going to make me consider keeping him are if we turn our league form completely around and we go on a long unbeaten (mainly wins) run and/or survive relegation and win the Europa and the CC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be worse - 46 games in the champ, joining the league cup earlier, etc.
Half the squad would leave, we wouldn’t replace all of them and the players simply won’t turn up at places like Stoke away. I reckon we wouldn’t replace be sat here this time next year and be about 12th in the Champ wondering if we can scrape a play off spot whilst nob end shouts 5838388 more windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, realistically any manager that got a club like Spurs relegated has to go on principle. You'd like to think we'd come back up quickly as other bigger PL clubs have done but then there's always Leeds.
Says a lot about Spurs and Levy when we are scared to sack a 5th choice manager, who's record is appalling, has a track record for wearing down players at a club that doesn't back its managers.
Maybe it's not just the supporters who don't care about the stadium, go karts, NFL, Concerts and boxing etc..... Maybe quality players and managers are now realizing we are a "club" that doesn't care about football and are quite rightly giving us a pass.
I guess when Poch, Jose and Conte all same the same thing, nothing changes, and all were proved right that people within the industry take notice ?
Just close the football operation, focus on the stadium revenue/ real estate investments and save us all the embarrassment.

If he does that treble, he walks and says fuсk you all on the way out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A risk I’m willing to take
If he wins a cup and keeps us up he could do that, he won’t win a cup though, we’re not playing sides consisting of farmers, plumbers, electricians, 2 ducks and a small cow named Colin.

Anybody would be a better appointment than Ange.
Outclassed by the majority of managers he manages against.
Tactically shocking. Does not change the way we play mate unless it suits him and when he does we are awful.
Everton tactical change battered, Arsenal tactical change battered, City last season with a false nine despite being the "most attacking manager in the world people would have you believe."
Ange is not absolved of everything with the injuries. He failed to rotate, shaped the squad and only plays his favs.
Let alone killing our youngsters. Malachi Hardy is a really special talent could be as good as Ledley King . What you do not do is pull him out and sit him on the bench with no plan to use him.
Our academy manager is leaving due to disagreements with Ange, one of our top under 21s is leaving because of the way he was treated by Ange.
The guy is killing the club and some fans are still drinking the coolaid of when we get all our players back Ange will be great. Absurd.
No tactics, no talent i.d and an arrogance so big you would think he achieved it all. Outspent the entire league with Celtic and Yokohama.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t forget he was tactically outclassed by the Tamworth manager who had only turned full time that week.
Honestly, if we brought Pulis in tomorrow you would see an improvement, Curbishley, Allardyce, Dyche - you would see an improvement because they know how to organise football teams and would take one look at the talent we have and won’t be able to work out how we are down where we are.
Imagine Allardyce suddenly having access to players like Kulu, Richy, Son, Maddison, Bentancur - he would think he has died and gone to heaven - and the remit being to keep this lot up.
Ange is an absolute duffer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine Allardyce ever being able to win 4-0 at the Ethihad, 3-0 at Old Trafford, 4-0 at Villa Park. He would be in heaven.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard to pin the injuries on him.
Solanke - Knee having been run into the ground due to Richy's injury.
Romero - injured toe. Few weeks to recover and then an injured thigh. So again not really an Ange issue.
Bentancur, has missed 8 game through suspension, and 3 with concussion.
Vicario - impact injury.
Odobert was injured within weeks of arriving.
BJ - has not played a full part this season and has injured calf.
Moore missed 2 months with a viruis.
Richy cannot seem to play 2 games without getting injured.
I think none of these injuries can be directly blamed on intense playing or training methods, and if we had had Romero, Bentancur, Richy & Odobert available for the most part of the season then things would be a lot better.
fact is they have been missing and even if you want to blame all the hamstrings on Ange, we have been hugely unlukcy in terms of the number but also the areas. At the weekend we had only Son fit to start from wide out of 5 options. Davies is 3rd choice LB, with choice 1 and 2 injured he couldnt play there as he's also 4th choice CB with CB options 1 & 2 injured. SO 4th choice Gray plays at LB with 5th choice Reguillon having to step in, when Sarr had to come off meaning 6th choice CM Gray had to step into midfield.

No it doesn’t you utter cretin, it doesn’t work at all.
No result is determined by the previous result.
The reality is we are getting sucked into a relegation battle as since Xmas we have played 3 of the 5 sides below us and taken one point from those fixtures - conceding 7 in the process and only scoring 5 - against more or less the worst sides in the league. The cup games since Xmas as you are so fond of mentioning those - have seen us have one astounding performance and result, followed by drawing with a non league side after 90 mins - and we were so close to losing that at the end. We also unconvincingly scraped a win against an injury hit Hoffenheim who are hovering above the drop zone.
Yet you think that City and United should be 6 points, you are at best faaaacking mental

I don’t think the likes of Iraola will consider Spurs at this point no. Managers on the up like Poch when he arrived will see there are much better options out there where success is more likely.
I’m sorry when Postecoglue, Conte, Santo, Mourinho are unable to succeed, why would the likes of Iraola look at the job and want to take it? Plenty of better options out there.
For five million pounds a year I imagine.

12 of the 20 clubs in the PL pay £4m a year or more to their manager. Dyche at Everton was on £5m, Emery is on £8m and that’s just a couple of options in England. As I said, plenty of better options.

There really isn’t. I’m not sure how you’ve come to the conclusion that good managers don’t go there whilst in the same breath listing all the good managers who have gone there.
There will be an enormous amount of interest in the Spurs job.
LOL
So we went begging to Chelsea to help us and they rightly said do one!
Embarrassing!
Johan Lange. Amazing recruiting. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Be interesting how they feel if we go out of the cup and performances in the league are still dire. Can't see a win in the league coming anywhere soon with the next set of fixtures.
I do understand that it would be better to conduct a proper manager search in the summer than panic appoint someone, however I'm not sure someone even just filling in until the end of the season couldn't do any worse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Got City and United at home shortly. Should be six points. Spurs have beaten both twice comfortably already this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes that’s how football works Sandy
We beat Everton 4-0 earlier in the season and then got battered by them last week

Who was the manager when we beat Everton 4-0?

Yeah that's about it. Your bank manager will be over the moon in about 18 months.
You just have to grit your teeth and take the flack and be the whipping boy when it all inevitably comes falling down around you, broken promise, after broken promise.
16 managers....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone suggesting a manger wouldnt trade, say, Bournemouth for Spurs is a bit daft, but if they had other options they may well consider them first before Spurs, even at 'lesser' clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously if you're at Bournemouth/Southampton and not likely to be getting orders from clubs like City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Madrid etc etc Spurs is unbelievable job.
But as you say if there is a chance that you may get a shot at one of those clubs you are definitely better off at "stable" clubs like Bournemouth because you at least know what you have from the start and not get dicked around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the path is clear for Iraola in the summer unless Chelsea drop Maresca. Liverpool clearly won’t change, City won’t, United won’t and Arsenal won’t.
I can’t see Newcastle or Villa changing either.
So I think it will depend on Chelsea, but I reckon they might give Maresca another season first. In which case, if we’re still in the Prem we’re a bigger draw than Bournemouth

Just get Rafa or Harry for 5 months, pick up the 10 points needed and appoint Iraola in the summer - a 10 year old could work it out but the worst football chairman on the planet cannot
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we can't get Iraola though, who would we get? Frank?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We would find it very difficult to appoint a manager more tactically lacking than Ange is.
Carrick, McKenna, Rodger’s, Frank, even Dyche would be an improvement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross has a better win percentage as manager at Spurs than Ange
----------------------------------------------------------------------
However much the Ange In fans want to try and dress it up, Ange is not the man for us. It's been clear he's out of depth in this league for a while.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not Ange in, i just not Ange out. I think there is a difference. I am not saying he's the long term answer, but I am saying that he is not the main cause of this massive slump. He has ridiculous injuries to deal with but he has not been given the help needed to ride through this time.
Where we would ben if we had had fewer injuries, who knows. No one can truly judge or know whether we would have addressed issues and progress through this season. He has been denied that opportunity but in the face of a crisis he has been denied help from Lange/Levy. He must feel utterly deserted and IMO i would not be surprised if he has considered walking away, and may well do so, if he is left high and dry once this window shuts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The big question regarding the injuries is how much it's as a result of him. We can talk about how well he's coping without the players but there are genuine questions to be had now about why they are so common under him and whether it's linked to his training methods and style of football. And in the case of a couple I think you can only look back at the decision to play Romero and VDV straight away after injury by the manager as one that completely backfired. I'd be worried we'd get the same thing when they come back.
Regardless of injuries, we should be beating or not losing against these lesser teams with the team we played. That can only be put on the manager. It's all part of a larger issue that suggests it's more than the injuries, which is our dreadful record of conceding goals and losing games when we've taken the lead.

How is it a great job?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s well paid, has a squad full of international footballers and they spend £150m a season on transfers.
On top of that they have some of the best training and stadium facilities in the world and a solid youth system.
Of course it’s a great job.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very very simplistic way of looking at it.
If it's such a great job, which do managers continually fail there? And we're not talking about nobodies, Conte and Jose are two of the biggest names in management.
Nuno is doing a stellar job at Forest, too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah you can throw out any names that would be an upgrade on Ange...Mick McCarthy etc..
Carrick is too much of a risk for me. Not sure about McKenna after how they are faring in the PL. Look how Frank has managed to keep up a promoted team for so long and McKenna will be taking his back down as soon as they came up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair though - Brentford had been building for ages and probably should have come up sooner than they did.
Ipswich were in League 1 the season before last, McKenna has achieved double promotion and they have spent buttons. Half that squad is still league 1 level. Brentford came up with the likes of Toney, Benrahma, Wissa - all Ipswich have is Delap
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I think he's still a good manager and he's obviously done great things with Ipswich, I just feel he's more questionable now because of their PL performance.
Iraola is by far the best candidate and fit IMO for Spurs so if we don't get him then it's a slight drop in levels with the rest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's one say Ange wind the CC , FA Cup , and EL but gets us relegated dow we keep him?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a tough question cause I feel like he'd be more at home in the Championship. The trouble is that we'd keep getting injuries.
The only scenarios that are going to make me consider keeping him are if we turn our league form completely around and we go on a long unbeaten (mainly wins) run and/or survive relegation and win the Europa and the CC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be worse - 46 games in the champ, joining the league cup earlier, etc.
Half the squad would leave, we wouldn’t replace all of them and the players simply won’t turn up at places like Stoke away. I reckon we wouldn’t replace be sat here this time next year and be about 12th in the Champ wondering if we can scrape a play off spot whilst nob end shouts 5838388 more windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, realistically any manager that got a club like Spurs relegated has to go on principle. You'd like to think we'd come back up quickly as other bigger PL clubs have done but then there's always Leeds.
posted on 27/1/25
Says a lot about Spurs and Levy when we are scared to sack a 5th choice manager, who's record is appalling, has a track record for wearing down players at a club that doesn't back its managers.
Maybe it's not just the supporters who don't care about the stadium, go karts, NFL, Concerts and boxing etc..... Maybe quality players and managers are now realizing we are a "club" that doesn't care about football and are quite rightly giving us a pass.
I guess when Poch, Jose and Conte all same the same thing, nothing changes, and all were proved right that people within the industry take notice ?
Just close the football operation, focus on the stadium revenue/ real estate investments and save us all the embarrassment.

If he does that treble, he walks and says fuсk you all on the way out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A risk I’m willing to take
If he wins a cup and keeps us up he could do that, he won’t win a cup though, we’re not playing sides consisting of farmers, plumbers, electricians, 2 ducks and a small cow named Colin.

Anybody would be a better appointment than Ange.
Outclassed by the majority of managers he manages against.
Tactically shocking. Does not change the way we play mate unless it suits him and when he does we are awful.
Everton tactical change battered, Arsenal tactical change battered, City last season with a false nine despite being the "most attacking manager in the world people would have you believe."
Ange is not absolved of everything with the injuries. He failed to rotate, shaped the squad and only plays his favs.
Let alone killing our youngsters. Malachi Hardy is a really special talent could be as good as Ledley King . What you do not do is pull him out and sit him on the bench with no plan to use him.
Our academy manager is leaving due to disagreements with Ange, one of our top under 21s is leaving because of the way he was treated by Ange.
The guy is killing the club and some fans are still drinking the coolaid of when we get all our players back Ange will be great. Absurd.
No tactics, no talent i.d and an arrogance so big you would think he achieved it all. Outspent the entire league with Celtic and Yokohama.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t forget he was tactically outclassed by the Tamworth manager who had only turned full time that week.
Honestly, if we brought Pulis in tomorrow you would see an improvement, Curbishley, Allardyce, Dyche - you would see an improvement because they know how to organise football teams and would take one look at the talent we have and won’t be able to work out how we are down where we are.
Imagine Allardyce suddenly having access to players like Kulu, Richy, Son, Maddison, Bentancur - he would think he has died and gone to heaven - and the remit being to keep this lot up.
Ange is an absolute duffer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine Allardyce ever being able to win 4-0 at the Ethihad, 3-0 at Old Trafford, 4-0 at Villa Park. He would be in heaven.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard to pin the injuries on him.
Solanke - Knee having been run into the ground due to Richy's injury.
Romero - injured toe. Few weeks to recover and then an injured thigh. So again not really an Ange issue.
Bentancur, has missed 8 game through suspension, and 3 with concussion.
Vicario - impact injury.
Odobert was injured within weeks of arriving.
BJ - has not played a full part this season and has injured calf.
Moore missed 2 months with a viruis.
Richy cannot seem to play 2 games without getting injured.
I think none of these injuries can be directly blamed on intense playing or training methods, and if we had had Romero, Bentancur, Richy & Odobert available for the most part of the season then things would be a lot better.
fact is they have been missing and even if you want to blame all the hamstrings on Ange, we have been hugely unlukcy in terms of the number but also the areas. At the weekend we had only Son fit to start from wide out of 5 options. Davies is 3rd choice LB, with choice 1 and 2 injured he couldnt play there as he's also 4th choice CB with CB options 1 & 2 injured. SO 4th choice Gray plays at LB with 5th choice Reguillon having to step in, when Sarr had to come off meaning 6th choice CM Gray had to step into midfield.

Liverpool beat us 6-3 a few weeks ago and then we beat them 1-0 a few weeks after that - that means the next time we play them anything other than a draw will be a shock result.

Be interesting how they feel if we go out of the cup and performances in the league are still dire. Can't see a win in the league coming anywhere soon with the next set of fixtures.
I do understand that it would be better to conduct a proper manager search in the summer than panic appoint someone, however I'm not sure someone even just filling in until the end of the season couldn't do any worse.

Got City and United at home shortly. Should be six points. Spurs have beaten both twice comfortably already this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So getting no points against Everton and Leicester means we're going to get 6 against United and City, who by the way are in better places since they last lost to us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s how football works though - if you beat them earlier in the season, regardless of circumstances then you should beat them later in the season - this is the way of the Sandy

No it doesn’t you utter cretin, it doesn’t work at all.
No result is determined by the previous result.
The reality is we are getting sucked into a relegation battle as since Xmas we have played 3 of the 5 sides below us and taken one point from those fixtures - conceding 7 in the process and only scoring 5 - against more or less the worst sides in the league. The cup games since Xmas as you are so fond of mentioning those - have seen us have one astounding performance and result, followed by drawing with a non league side after 90 mins - and we were so close to losing that at the end. We also unconvincingly scraped a win against an injury hit Hoffenheim who are hovering above the drop zone.
Yet you think that City and United should be 6 points, you are at best faaaacking mental

Maybe because no manager worth his salt will touch us with a bargepole.
——————
I doubt this is true. It’s a great job and well paid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How is it a great job?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s well paid, has a squad full of international footballers and they spend £150m a season on transfers.
On top of that they have some of the best training and stadium facilities in the world and a solid youth system.
Of course it’s a great job.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very very simplistic way of looking at it.
If it's such a great job, which do managers continually fail there? And we're not talking about nobodies, Conte and Jose are two of the biggest names in management.
Nuno is doing a stellar job at Forest, too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, is it a job managers will go for or not? It’s seems to be it is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t think the likes of Iraola will consider Spurs at this point no. Managers on the up like Poch when he arrived will see there are much better options out there where success is more likely.
I’m sorry when Postecoglue, Conte, Santo, Mourinho are unable to succeed, why would the likes of Iraola look at the job and want to take it? Plenty of better options out there.

For five million pounds a year I imagine.

12 of the 20 clubs in the PL pay £4m a year or more to their manager. Dyche at Everton was on £5m, Emery is on £8m and that’s just a couple of options in England. As I said, plenty of better options.

There really isn’t. I’m not sure how you’ve come to the conclusion that good managers don’t go there whilst in the same breath listing all the good managers who have gone there.
There will be an enormous amount of interest in the Spurs job.

LOL
So we went begging to Chelsea to help us and they rightly said do one!
Embarrassing!
Johan Lange. Amazing recruiting. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Yes that’s how football works Sandy
We beat Everton 4-0 earlier in the season and then got battered by them last week
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who was the manager when we beat Everton 4-0?
