So the Ange thing is essentially a protest because Levy is still here?

Think you are missing the point that is annoying some fans- we would not have been entertaining Ange before though having fucked up negotiations with preferable targets we are left where we are.
Your post lacks balance as for every fan that wanted Soldado there would have been one that didn't,etc....
As a fan I want a fucking trophy and am in no doubt about that so fuck the patronising- 'fans don't know what they want'!

Given what has unfolded over the last few seasons any other CEO of any properly functioning organisation would have been given a bin liner and told to F off by now.
Levy does idiotic things, but I don’t think he’s an idiot so even he must realise that he must get this one right or the game is up both for him personally at Spurs, and for the club itself in the short to medium term.
We don’t need a mediocre management team, but someone who has a plan and will give the club a snowdome like shake.
Still clinging to the hope that he is going to pull a rabbit out of the hat and redeem himself, but not holding my breath.

I don’t disagree with that really but to be brutally honest, I would actually take finishing 7th next season while playing some exciting football and looking like we are moving forward with a more balanced squad. Small time thinking? Perhaps, but I see this as the most important managerial decision in the clubs recent history and that’s not being over emotional about it. The thing is, I have totally lost faith that Levy can get it right or anything else for that matter, and that makes me fear for a finish lower than 7th next season. Getting this wrong is a very scary thought.

Are we forgetting that Bayern literally just lost:
Alaba
Martinez,
Lewandoski
Boateng
Bayern lost their defence, had an ageing striker and not mention that Thiago, Perisic and Coutinho had 72 starts the season before and 3 left before him
Nagelsmann of course would spend a lot to get us to Bayerns level but he would have spend a lot more at every other club in Europe bar 6 or 7

So what you’re saying is, the Scottish league is pretty much equivalent to the Ukrainian league, where the hottest shit in management - who half of you would nut yourselves over appointing - was winning the league a year ago?Exactly this!
People are willing to accept mediocrity and not thinking about the potential fallout.
There are at least 5 managers in the Premier League that would be a better choice to go after than hiring someone like Agne just because they have won the Scottish prem, which as others have pointed out sits 9th in the Uefa rankings and currently 40th in the ratings

Right next to league one, the Championship sits 18th
These are team form ratings, showing the lack of quality in the Scottish Prem. Its ridiculous why we’re even considering it.
Who just won the Bulgarian league?
What are they up to?
We thought conte was his last throw of the dice.

Yeah, so does every fan. No fan of Spurs wants us not to do well. Issue is if it was that simple Conte or Mourinho would’ve done it.

Regardless of if people want him or not one thing that is interesting about Big Ange is that he’s on a rolling 12 month contract, well whoever we get we need to get them on a 2-3 year deal and commit to a longer term project so if he’s only up for rolling 12 month deals that shouldn’t be for us as it just creates uncertainty like we has with Conte and that is the last thing we need.

What were you expecting of them in that game? The current champions with a master tactician manager and endless resources at his disposable enentually picked off a team from the Scottish League. The bigger positive for me was that 1st half performance and the others in the CL.
I'm not advocating he's the best candidate for the job but the way he's written off does my head in. He was the best run club in the EPL's no.1 choice 6 months ago

Don’t read too much into what’s trending on Twitter. Aside from the fact “cos it’s Twitter” there are a lot of Celtic fans being ironic and joining in because they want him to stay from a lot of the comments I saw earlier.

You've made your feelings clear tonight , which you're entitled too.
But the constant 'bloke from Celtic' is abit much.
Bet you're glad we didn't employ that 'bloke from Feyernoord '
Although hold tight , we might get 'the bloke from South America'
Or worse still 'the unemployed bloke'.
Whoever it is , I hope they do as well as the 'bloke from Juventus' and the 'bloke from man united'.

Daniel Levy has systematically failed in his remit for the best part of 5 years - being generous to him - and you think people are getting pissed at “little things”?
Little things like him taking the disastrous Nuno saga of two years ago, rinsing, and repeating it but on steroids?
If you think these are “little things” then you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the genuine precipice upon which our status as a club currently rests, thanks to Daniel fucking Levy.
These are not little things.
This situation is not an innocuous irrelevance.
That you can’t see that and think we’re just having a little blip or something, is astounding.

Exactly - one of the main features of this summer has for weeks been the sheer number of top coaches who were going to be looking for new jobs or would be available - an unprecedented opportunity which meant Spurs simply couldn't imagine missing out on a top coach.
From Tuchel to Nagelsmann, Poch to Potter, Enrique to Slot - Jack Pitt-Brooke said a couple of months ago that who-ever Spurs got, it wouldn't be a bad result, because it would be a top, successful manager.
Ange was nowhere near the conversation, and if his name had been mentioned a month or two ago it would've been a laughable suggestion.

I don’t really care for De Zerbi but I’d suggest that even that league is more competitive than the Scottish prem.
Of course he would be a better choice if we could get him though, he has proven himself in the Premier League. Brighton could afford to take risks, we can’t. He’s also managed and played at a high level previous to the Ukrainian league.

True, but he’s still there like the turd that won’t flush.
He has seen how toxic the stadium has become this season though and must know that if he gets it wrong again even Joe Lewis will be forced to pull the plug. Enic won’t like the value of their asset dwindling as we fall further behind.
Of the choices available Nagelsmann has to be the goal now after we screwed up on Slot but Levy will have to change his ways or it won’t happen.
