    Just don’t see the point in sacking him

    That would tell the players that the season is done without a ball being kicked on Thursday and with their mentality I don’t see how that would benefit us

    This is Ange and the players mess so let’s see if they can keep the season alive in another do or die on Thursday and keep them all together to fight another day

    if we get knocked out then…the club can do whatever tbh…season over for me

    looking forward to the next brain fart appointment whenever it happens

    Just copied the poll in the actual thread. But if you're hesitating you must think we have a chance?

    This theory that we've not sacked him for financial reasons is absurd. Each position we drop in the PL costs £3m and there is another £15m at stake in the EL plus the CL income next year.
    So someone who could get more out of the squad than Ange was potentially worth upwards of £100m a few matches ago.

    Maybe it costs Levy more to sack him if we are still in a cup, a higher pay off if we are still in Europe, knowing how Levy operates he could be waiting to sack him once we are knocked out the Europa, to save a few quid.

    I want him gone but to sack him days before the second leg wouldn’t sit right with me. Plus it leaves Spurs open to what Mourinho bleats on about and Ange could say he felt he would the Europa league etc. I just think the right thing to do is let him complete that journey before being given the elbow.

    I voted no because Spurs are still in Europa.

    Levy wouldn't put £100m at stake to save a few quid. He doesn't operate like that as you well know.

    The appointment of Venkatesham as CEO adds to the unfolding picture. It's become clearer and clearer that Levy's got no idea how to put a stop to the rot that set in during the stadium build.

    I would venture that penny has dropped with someone in or around the club. Maybe the representatives of Lewis's trusts shareholding, maybe an investor, maybe even COYS Daniel himself?

    As CEO, Venkatesham should be running the whole show. Unlike when Paratici was brought in and Daniel had already ****ed up the possibility of employing one of the club's primary choices, maybe just maybe, this time, he'll leave well alone?

    This would make sense of the ****ing around regarding Paratici's on/off future role. One can only hope that finally, this is a change of real significance and that running the club like a market stall is at an end.

    Postecoglou's appointment would be a fitting justification for getting Levy's hands off any levers of power relating to the football club. We need to do better than what he has offered since 2017...it should not be difficult.

    The new CEO gets to terminate Levy's final and possibly worst choice of coach, in Ange, and appoint a successor...




    ...I hope.

    Sacked Jose before the final so Levy pays less compensation

    Keeping Ange on till Europe is no longer possible, thus paying less compensation.

    That’s all this is all about

    nothing to do with our football fortunes

    In the case of the ubermensch, sacking him when we did felt like it wasn't jut down to Levy

    Given how miserable the squad were, you have to wonder if there was a degree of collusion to get rid of him in the pettiest way imaginable

    I have voted same for the same reason.
    Whichever of EL exit or season end comes first, then I change to yes,

    The closest season to now IMHO is 1973-74
    (50 yrs ago, and St Nicholsons' final season) .

    I am holding fire until I return on Friday from a short city break to Prague with the wife and daughter.

    In the interim, I will no doubt find an appropriate bar on Thursday night to wallow in a pit of despair....

    Ali Gold’s not held too much back either:

    “There was sympathy and understanding for Postecoglou midway through this season when Spurs were struck down by an unprecedented injury crisis which only seemed to worsen each week. Yet those days are gone. Postecoglou has a full squad and little has changed when it comes to results. Everything promised under the former Celtic boss has thus far failed to materialise to any lasting degree.”

    Yeh but you forget one important factor

    Levy is penny wise, pound stupid.

    best way to make money is to build winning teams, he hasn’t cracked that code so he won’t see the logic you are suggesting
