Should be sacked even if we win the Europa

I think Frankfurt will horse you.

Sorry, I'm just not buying it. We've scraped past a very, very average side.

Frankfurt are dumping us out.

Sacked for winning a European trophy? I thought Spurs would have learnt their lesson with the sacking of Keith Burkenshaw.

Ange won't be sacked whether he wins the Europa or not. This isn't fantasy football. Stability is needed, not more upheaval.

I though Alkmaar were supposed to dump Spurs out?

Spurs have beaten AZ twice this season, so hardly scrapped through.

Spurs are better than them. But it will be a competitive tie, which I expect Spurs to win.

Scraped some European minnows whose name most people can’t even pronounce.

No, sacked for being a $hite manager and a fraud.

Spurs are capable of winning but can’t see it myself, wouldn’t begrudge ye a trophy but don’t think it’s happening this season or under the current manager

A bit like Trump's trade tariffs this

Frankfurt have recent experience of going the distance and seem to save their best performances for the EL.

That's as maybe, and I am sure Spurs won't be underestimating them. But Spurs on their day are pretty useful as well. Especially as in a months time, lots of the better players that were injured will be back up to speed.

Yes of course I’d spend my hard earned earned money on a ticket, hoping we’d lose,

We scraped past a bunch of European minnows, big f*cking deal.

Cannot believe some have set the criteria that Ange must win the Europa or be sacked. When has that ever been the benchmark for other managers? Ridiculous.

------------

When the rest of the season has been completely poor. Most of our other managers have had other focuses than just European football, like finishing in the top 4, which has kept them in the job. The fact that we've been hovering about in the bottom half all this time means the pressure is on him to deliver something in the Europa now.

And we already know he’s weak under pressure.

We shall see but I think some fans shouldn't get too hyped yet. Wouldn't be surprised to see a poor performance and result against Fulham, which even though people have said they only care about Europa, will only put us on a downer.

If we do play well against Fulham and win, I'd be more impressed by that from Ange than the Europa exploits.

Im not accepting excuses for poor league performances.

Last time we played Fulham (h) we had Davies & Drag in front of Forster, Werner on the wing, Son through the middle, Deki carrying a knock and on the bench and were also missing Bentancur. The likes of Bergvall and Gray had not yet come to the fore.

While we may still be missing a few, with a few returning to match sharpness, the likes of Spence, Vicario VDV Romero Bentancur, Odobert, Solanke in the team plus the kids looking better and better, there is no excuse for not getting a result and probably more important, putting in a strong performance.

If we are a bit jaded after last nights action then, a solid professional performance that takes a result from the game is the minimum.

These last couple months of the season are Ange's audition and Europa league progress alone is not good enough because ultimately we want proof that we can be consistent and gain results in the league...that's the bread and butter and it may well be all we have next season!

Sandy you're just a WUM. I see right through you.

Quite right it should be part of his audition, not just the Europa. People are in danger of losing sight of what we do in the league on account of progressing in Europa. Lose to Fulham at the weekend and we could quite easily drop another 2 places to 15th.

Winning the Europa or not, it's simply unacceptable to be struggling to get to 40 points towards the end of the season for a club of our size.

and with a largely fit squad, we need to prove we can play mid week and weekend without any massive drop off, otherwise its just proof that this isn't sustainable long term

Yep, agree, same with Spurtle's comment above. the league isn't a write off because, like he says, it's Ange's audition.

My worry is that he'll win the games where he's got a free week which is kind of a false dawn because if you're going to manage a club of our stature, ordinarily you have to manage playing twice a week. It's just the nature of the beast. I do hate it when some fans see the positives in having no European action midweek. It's really weak mentality. For the kind of revenues we generate, we should have a squad capable of juggling those commitments.
