    I just think that the league form has been so bad for so long that even a pro Ange person can see Ange isn’t the answer.

    Ideally Spurs win it and they do a mutual consent announcement, that way everyone comes out this looking okay.

    This would be the ideal scenario.

    The thought of Ange trying to juggle the PL and the CL is terrifying.

    That plus the quality of teams coming up from the Championship next season would leave us in real danger of relegation if he stays imo.

    The final next week is Ange’s 100th match at spurs and I believe we are due some stats from our esteemed statistician so let’s wait until then!

    Ange does not enjoy post match interviews. Looks like it wouldn't take much for him to strangle the sky interviewer.

    Even we can't be stupid enough to sack another manager a week before a cup final...
































    Can we? <laugh>

    If it's the wrong thing to do...




    ...yes, we can!

    Personally, I have no faith in the guy, whatsoever, but the last 2 away games in Europe have got the job done without too many issues. I don't know if he's responsible for that or it's in spite of his 'coaching', but we're on roll (of sorts)...and you don't **** with a winning streak.

    It will be his 75th league match. As @The RDBD has pointed out there is nothing particularly special about 100 matches but you do need a lot more than 75 before you can start blaming the coach instead of things like injuries, poor decisions etc.
    Personally I think our best 14 players are top 4 standard but most of the rest are no better than mid table. The injuries have meant that we have been fielding a mid-table standard side most weeks or sometimes one with several better players who have just returned from injury. So I still don't think the league position in itself justifies sacking Ange. The lack of strategy on the pitch is much more worrying though, so I now don't think that the chance of Ange making a real difference is very high. The same applies to anyone we might appoint in his place, though so I am neutral now.

    It’s part of the job to explain why you’ve lost and played poorly. The guy is handsomely paid yet acts like he’s above being asked simple questions. I saw it at Celtic which is why I knew he would struggle with that part of the job at Spurs as Spurs always lose more games than Celtic.

    He’s just up to standard in most parts of the job unfortunately. Appointing him was and has proved to be a massive mistake.

    I’d say 2 full league seasons is enough to judge him.

    I agree if he was able to play his first choice team every game then results would be better (same as any team) but the way he asks his players to play will always result in fatigue or injuries (not compatible for any league of a decent standard)

    By the 'missing piece' I assume he's referring to relegation?

    Even better: get relegated at the end of next season and win the CL trophy a few weeks later.

    I will take that, if it were to happen its likely Richard Keys would spontaneously combust and thus the world would be a better place!

    He might combust if someone puts a naked flame near his knuckles, though.
    No relegation needed.

    Sorry but this is a wild overestimation.

    I can't see the current top 4 being interested in more than:
    Romero
    Porro
    Bergvall
    Kulusevski
    Udogie

    I'm really struggling to get anywhere near 14 players.

    That's three of a very leaky back four and the other's van de Ven.
