    After the 2 years of joy and the players he brought to us l have no ill feelings towards him. If Levy sacks you "MATE" take every penny he owes you "MATE" and go and enjoy a bit of quality time with your mrs and family until your next payday comes along "MATE"

    Yeah, much though I don't want him to be sacked, it's starting to reach Ten Hag levels of "How is he still in that job?" now.

    He won a treble, mate. If that's phoning it in...

    There's a lot of injuries he's had to deal with, and I'd imagine the more rational fans of spurs will take that into account.

    At the same time, some of the results he's had with him are borderline unacceptable, home losses against Ipswich and Leicester are really, really bad.

    The only thing keeping him in a job just now is the cup, if he goes out to Liverpool he's gone, and even then I think he needs to win it to stay in the job.

    I have a lot of sympathy about many of these games due to the injuries; but losing to Leicester, Everton and Ipswich is really not good enough even with the injuries.

    Edit: I see @HTG made a similar point a few seconds before me.

    Yeah as others have said he really did choose a total banter club that had no hope of ever winning anything. I like him as a man and a coach but he only has himself to blame for not doing his homework on spurs.

    Genuinely think he'd have done better at a Leeds or Brighton.

    I think that's the best way forward for him now. He's not going to get another EPL gig IMHO. Ideally, he takes a job with a decent Championship side and brings them up and gets back that way.

    He won't be short of offers.. previous managers with pedigree have called out what's wrong with Spurs on numerous occasions..

    The fact that they are chanting for Levy worries me more than if they were just booing Ange.

    I think the injuries actually allow a lot of people to double down on him. If you have these injuries top drawer managers accept you have to adapt. Ange will never do that and I personally respect him for that, however I feel he has being lucky how Spurs have stuck by him through this period.

    Wouldn't be so sure Jose got them to the final and they sacked him

    Don't think he would, he's been totally found out at that level, it's not just other teams have world class players, they also have some of the best managers. Spurs are one point above a very poor everton side and if both teams keep their managers I'd expect moyes to finish above him with Everton.

    Ange has his part to play in Spurs being dragged in to a relegation battle.

    But the problems run deeper and have done for a good while.

    Look at their last 3 managers. Nuno killing it wi Forrest in 3rd place. Jose 2nd in Turkish league. Conte top of Seria A.


    So whilst getting rid of Ange is inevitable. The next manager inherits the same injuries and players and more importantly Levy!!!

    Rinse and repeat.

    Ange has had more lives than Harry Houdini, but I can't see him surviving this.
    It's simple to say a run of bad injuries and bad luck have hampered him at White Hart Lane, but his terminal lack of adaptibility and one dimensional way of playing football, have crippled Spurs and tormented their fans.
    And some of his signings have been exorbitant forms of gash.
    Even his own footballing squad must be genuinely peeved at how Ange won't change his tactics and footballing philosophy, when it is clearly evident it just is not working.
    Ange has been found out, and he is the author of his own downfall imo.
