    Yeah, from a distance I've often thought that.

    Some clubs in England are burdened by not living up to past glories. Fan expectations demand a level of success they had in the past but there's really no reason why they would achieve it today.

    Spurs never had any previous golden age to aspire to, they dont spend much money, but their fans still have expectations that they should be top dogs. Creates a sort of permanent rage loop!

    He’ll win the Europa and mic drop his resignation. Called it soon as they beat Frankfurt.

    Got a feeling if he wins the Europa he'll end up at AC Milan. I feel a big European side out of form would suit him well.

    If he wins the EL he will get clubs after him no doubt.

    Remember their fans commenting last season that the happiest he looked was when he was talking about us winning the league against Kilmarnock

    He’s a guy that lives and breathes football and tactics and passion and trophies and success.

    There are very few clubs in England he is compatible with. Spurs fans would rather film an opponent celebrating in front of them with a half and half scarf on. Tinpot attitude. They genuinely think their ‘derby’ with Arsenal is the most passionate in the world, the atmosphere is * laughable - even when they score.

    He's made 8 changes to his line-up today, but it's still a humping amongst a * season.

    Not sure I want Spurs to win the Europa either. Ange yes, but Spurs meh...

    If we are talking prem sides. at least before he took Spurs job. I honestly felt the prem team for him would definitely been Brighton. He'd have done wonders there

    Think he'll be gone after this and rightly so. They have 37 points, if the bottom 3 weren't so bad, they'd be battling relegation.

    His players have clearly lost all motivation for the league. They can't go down and they can't get a European place. They were playing the best team in the country who had the chance to win the league today in front of their own fans. Even before hearing about the changes, it was obvious what would happen.

    It's all about the EL at this point.

    Not sure he'll be there long enough to get to the final. Levy sacked Mouriniho the week before the league cup final.

    Win the Europa, then get out Ange.

    It was a massive mistake going there, but I don't overly blame him.
    I genuinely think he knew things at Celtic didn't look good with PL coming back in to the limelight, he jumped before it got toxic here for him. But he jumped to the wrong club, * the one club in England ran by a man who makes our setup look simple and smooth.

    Guys ethos on football aligns almost perfectly with our club, no wonder he looked happiest last season when he was commenting on us winning the league. At the same time as watching his former club who bleeds football being played the right way, he was dealing with Spur fans wanting to lie down so Arsenal didn't win the league title. Pathetic and I truly think from that day on, he has given up on that club. Europa is the only thing he is there for now, do enough to keep his stock fair, then get the * out.

    Brighton, someone mentioned, would have been a good club for him. But the lure of the "size" of a Spurs is hard for anyone to turn down.

    Love the big man, want to see him do well, but time to head to Spain or Germany, he'd get a lot more respect for his style and determination and players willing to play it.
