Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[ComfortablyNumb]

Keep hearing this but it's imo bollocks. Its not about replacing what Harry brought to the team. What Harry brought got us to 8th. As a team we need to massively improve on what Harry brought, and that is going to be much much much harder without Harry. If we don't bring in someone now that improves the first XI considerably(in whatever position) we are a lot weaker and that is a fact.

IMO that someone is Ange. If he can make the remaining squad into something greater than the sum of its parts, there's no reason why we need to be weaker with Kane gone, we could actually be stronger.

Ange on waving off Harry’s plane to Germany this morning…

My biggest hope right now is that Baldy is wandering around with a feeling that there are multiple red dots on him at all times, and woe betide him if he fucks the rest of the window up and leaves Ange short.

What time's his press conference?

Nah. A better, more attacking system already improves us from 8th. Harry now gone definitely sets us back. It just depends on what scale in comparison to how much we improve as a team

Let’s hope the press officer gives the press a prepared statement on the Kane situation then tells the press Ange won’t be answering any questions that involves the name Kane.

bet they don’t, no balls throughout the club

 

[mil1lion]

I think Ange is going to make us feel better

 

[DiscoD1882]

This all feels reminiscent of the Poch era. Selling our best player. Sometimes getting rid of someone who is so relied on means the rest of the squad have an opportunity to shine. And players step out of the shadow. Much as I would hate losing him. I think it will be fine.

stage one: Denial
Stage two: Anger
Stage three sadness
Stage four bargaining
Stage five acceptance. In progress

You’re skipping the AVB getting sacked and having to endure three quarters of a season of Sherwood.

 

[TheCheeseRoom]

I hope Ange addresses the Kane saga and puts it to bed at the beginning of the presser - airtime should be given to the match, the current players and the future.

 

[Gassin's finest]

You know what... all this shite that's been following the club for a while now; Jose/Conteballs, the Lewis indictment, the Kane circus, Levy's shenanigans. Rather than turn me away from Spurs altogether, its actually galvanised my support. Because everyone of those lot can fuck the fuck off, from the red sponsors to the Beavertown brewery to the fucking NFL and F1 tracks. I love this football club... the white shirt and the simple yet elegant cockerel logo, to the absolute legends that have played for us and that buzz every single time I see the pitch and hear the chants. And if falling from grace a bit leads to less corporate wankery, tourist crowds and extraneous nonsense, and get back to being a fucking football club, then maybe this last year or so would be worth it. And Postecoglu seems like just the down to earth, no nonsense football man to lead that.

I loved the Poche era, it engaged me to the team like no other time, but I've hated the way we got totally ahead of ourselves and have been shooting ourselves in the foot ever since. I'm not expecting CL finals from Ange, but I am hoping to be enjoying myself again.

Didn't Sherwood blood Kane? Didn't he see something that others had missed?

 

[mil1lion]

Do we think he will confirm our new captain? You would have to think so

Please be Davies please be Davies please be Davies.

 

[Keith Morris]

Is there anywhere you can listen to the press conference live

 

[bbunc]

I will say this. If I could pick one person in the world to motivate the 19 guys that will be in the squad Sunday through all this BS, it’s Ange.

There shouldn’t ever be a more focused and motivated “nobody believes in us” crew out there on a mission.

I just hope there’s some way for the fans to stay behind Ange and the team and keep the Levy/ENIC rage separate. Don’t buy beer. Don’t buy jerseys. Support the team in full voice in knockoffs.

Something tells me it’s on spursplay for just 100 quid

I could come in and say that this was developed by Kubler-Ros about people experiencing loss of limbs and facing death.
She said the stages were not linear and you can slip back and forward between them and jump around.

weirdly everyone uses it for change when actually it was a study for something way more significant and now everyone knows it without knowing about it lol.

Doubt it. Bet we don’t even confirm Kane has left until tomorrow.

Looks like only text updates but even Aussies getting excited giving conference time in AEST.
