Should we sack Ange now?

I disagree with this.

So does Ange, incidentally.

Levy is notorious for his reluctance to stick his head above the parapet and utter even a single sentence. I can recall countless chairmen voicing support for their manager. Can't recall Levy doing it once.

Ange called him out on this in multiple pressers last season. Made the very reasonable argument that he was expected to manage the team, coach the players and also serve as Executive Club Spokesperson at every turn.

The radio silence from the hierarchy is unacceptable, especially at a time of such uncertainty.

If nothing else, the fans deserve some clarity and direction. Otherwise, pretty much the only time we hear from Uncle Daniel is when he's putting our ticket prices up.

Even something as generic as:

"We were delighted with Ange and the team for winning our first major trophy since the dinosaurs, and to reflect this newfound wave of positivity around the club we look forward to another season under Ange, who will be strengthened to the best of our ability in the summer transfer window."

Would be soooo much appreciated my all fans, even those who - like me - want Ange gone regardless.

Because as we've seen time and again for six years, a club with no manager is infinitely better off than a club with no plan.

The season is over. Unless you hear otherwise from the club then it’s business as usual.

Like others have said, you don’t announce a manager with a 2 year contract is staying.

Plus it’s been 2 weeks since the final and nearly 2 weeks since the last game, if he was getting sacked then it would have happened by now.

Time enough for a new manager, but the time window is small.

That aside, how does any candidate see the role ??

- You immediately get to test yourself in a CL campaign.

- You have a squad that collectively have some potential if
coached and managed well enough

- The remnants of the clubs' last great squad (Son, Davies etc)
are gone, or effectively finished.

- You will have a reasonable transfer budget (probably much better
than you may be accustomed to) , but tis not boundless.

- The scouting network is not particularly impressive.

- The club academy is not functioning well.


For all those touted as Spurs managers, how do people see them
in the reality of the above ??
 
Experience suggests that signs of possible inertia are evidence of the lack of any plan as to what should come next.

Venkatesham has had less than a week in the job. Paratici's appointment is 4 weeks away (if the strong rumours are to be believed). Scott Munro and Johan Lange are still in place. The board is being completely remodelled with fresh faces...

...and COYS Daniel is the ringmaster of this circus.

Does he stick with the hero...or sack the clown?

He has no ****ing idea whatsoever...and if there's any use to be gained from all of this change, he won't have any meaningful input into it.

One can only hope that whatever decision is reached is based on the long term interests of the football club (by going with the right choice), rather than ENIC's short term interests (quelling the bad press and fan displeasure they've rightly been accumulating).

Experience suggests that, left to his own devices, Levy will let Ange continue into next season, but he'll be gone by Christmas.

I can only hope that's not what happens.
 
If there are too many cooks in the kitchen, Levy needs to pull rank

Especially as he knows full well the farce that occurred thanks to Comolli folding his arms, sticking out his lower lip and saying he only wanted to work with Juande Ramos as if Martin Jol was two weeks out from retirement due to terminal illness or something

It almost inevitably means the exact opposite, though.
Levy just leaks his support via club mouthpieces, most of the time.
He did so with Postecoglou last season after our league form became unsupportable.

Feel free to provide an example of Uncle Roman or Todd Bollo voicing support for their managers

Shouldn't be too hard, there's surely twenty years worth of evidence of them doing so at some point...

Because mimicking Chelsea has worked out so well for us for the past twenty years?
