  1. Well it’s all turned out pretty good now, maybe Dyche would be better suited to Spurs in light of their current situation. That young lady knows not what she is talking about.

  2. Aussies have such an inferiority complex that they will seek any and all kinds of European and American validation . Bloke was terrible at spurs and almost got them relegated and didn't win a game at forest .

  3. I have followed Spurs since 1970-71 season. I lived through the 1976-77 season when we were relegated. Glenn Hoddle admitted said it was his worst experience in football! Here we are again! I wish we had have given Ange another season. It is interesting that he says no one approached him to talk about the league position! On The Overlap programme recently he said the feeling at The Club was to get a trophy! He and the team delivered our first European trophy since 1984 and our first trophy since 2007! " My heart was palpitatin' I was sure it was gonna stop!" (Christy Moore), when Mickey Van De Ven cleared off the line! So, then why oh why did The Club decide to scrap the foundations set by Ange and the team, and start all over again?? I thought Ange was the best manager we had since Pochettino, and he would have addressed the league form this season. He would have been great for Simons and Kudus. Gray, Bergval, Tel etc, they would have continued to develop into some of our best players and the roles of Vicario, Romero, Van De Ven would have developed. I think Ange would have made Van De Ven into the next Gareth Bale, and Brennan Johnson into Son's replacement. Maybe Son might have stayed another season? What a disaster! Maybe our new management team could take "caps in hand" and approach him before it is too late. This time give him a decent contract and promise to help him bring 'The Glory Days' back to 'The Lane'.COYS!!!

  4. He has had a great career let's be honest his Premier league form was horrendous and he doesn't take levels of accountability. Even when he was in charge of Tottenham he would attack the criticism and he didn't adapt. There's no guarantee with his playing Style that Tottenham would have been any better.

  5. The injuries I think were worse in anges season. At least we had a consistent back four (minus udogie) but Spence is a decent makeshift left back anyway. We don’t even have Vicario for a long time for goodness sake…I remember there was one match and it was a 100 year old Forster in goal, bissuma and Davies at CB, grey LB, porro the only fit member of the back four!!!!

  6. Swallow your Pride ENIC and bring dad back. Seriously do think THFC the football aspect of the business will be sold off or invested within this summer, no doubt ENIC won't walk away from their arena. Enough is enough though, bring papa home and invest or let others invest. Ange back and invested would be someway to getting the football business back to what we demand it is, a club. Poch be off to Madrid and now isnt the time for him. Only one winner apparent from our past 20 years though, Mr Postecoglou. Thanks for what you did for us fella.

    ENIC OUT

  7. My first comment, below, was from about half way through the interview. People might imagine that interviewing a friend makes it easy. It doesn't. Gerard Whatley manages both the friendship and the penetrating but duly respectful questions, respectful for his audience especially, as it should be. I'm 76 but Ange is my fave coach/manager in the Prem back to '78, right after the WC, that I jumped onto the Spurs bandwagon. I jumped off the day Ange was sacked. Good luck to you both.

  8. Just drop off Ange . Youre not up to it in the EPL , not even close . Scotland is a 2 horse race . You should be thankful they ever took you seriously if only for a little while in the EPL . Ange imposternoclue . Go back to Brisbane ROAR . Id hire Muscat before you every time

  9. 54 year old, became a Spurs fan when I was a boy the days of Glenn Hoddle, Ricky & Ozzie, stayed with them through the years, stopped being a Spurs fan two years ago when Spurs fans, and spurs players wanted to lose to Man City in London so Arsenal don't win the Premier League…. I remember this man being so upset after the fact that the fans were rooting against their own team…. Since that day I have stopped being a Spurs fan, will never be a spurs fan, and picked up Rugby union as my after American sports sport…. Our Football, Ice Hockey, Rugby Union and some Baseball is what I watch now…. Much respect to Coach Postecoglou for wanting to win every game unlike Spurs!

  10. If Spurs get relegated Ange is going to take the first Championship managing role available to keep Spurs down and he'll do it happily with a pay cut!

  11. Im an Aussie whose whole family and ancestors are Rangers mad. Grandparents migrated from Glasgow. The stick i get off the family back in Scotland as always supporting Ange to succeed in Europe. Aussies dont get the easy of rides over there. Ange did it the hard way. Champion he is and Spurs worst mistake getting rid of the Man who delivered European silverware. He talks about Craig Bellamy i packed his car for him after he gave me his BMW keys lol.

  12. if he wants to coach in the premier league again he needs to adapt his play. He still thinks there will be a premier league club who would take him the way he did Spurs.

  13. I am the drummer for spurs & was front row in bilbao. What that man did for me that day he will never know. Life was at a low and bilbao gave me something to look forward to. It will forever be the best day of my life and I really hope I get to meet ange one day and say thank you. He smiled and waved at the end and gave me a thumbs up thank you, and It only sunk in after that it was to me, as the bloke bashing the drum. Thank you ange, thank you 🤍

  14. Big fan since the Roar days (lived 100 metres from Lang Park and could hear every goal even when I missed a game). I can see how the media hate campaign and the whole vampiric Levy situation and Spurs 'pundits' going on and on and on about finishing 17th in the League (despite Spurs being never any threat of relegation and just won in Europe) it must have been so strange… Reminds me a bit of when Viduka talked about the politics when he played in Croatia and scoring but fans not celebrating when he'd score… Hope you can just take some time to say to yourself that you were always the sane one in the room….As with Celtic it may be you outgrew the club and its self imposed small ambitions. .. everything to offer and nothing to prove.
