    I'm no fan of overly confident Greek men by the way, except for Sedat (who's probably not even Greek, I think he is but now I'm not sure). Postecoglou rubs me the wrong way, but how can you actually sack him and who are you going to get who's any good and wants to take on that type of shit show? It's the most retarded thing I've seen.

      I guess to these big clubs where you finish in the league is more important than a 2nd rate cup, which Europa is(especially without the 3rd place drop ins).

      They've also spent close to €500m on players for Ange and hes got them in the relegation zone.
      The curse is dead.

        All reasonable points (notwithstanding injuries), and maybe transition cost of personnel, style, substance, talent etc. etc. is actually lower than the payout and the risk profile. I'm in logistics, what the **** do I know?

        But going back over my posts, you might have picked up on a theme where I've theorised that Tottenham isn't actually a big and meaningful club. But thinks it is. Not turfing cup winning managers, and building something like a winning culture might be the way to go.

        From a players perspective, you've just won your first piece of silverware knowing that only about two per cent of players actually do that, you've had a shit league year after finishing fifth the year before, and now some new **** arrives and tells you under his guidance you might improve in the league a little bit.

        Motovation. It's so ****en dumb.

          I think they are a big club but they are run as a business over a football club. They treat their fans as customers and charge the highest ticket prices in Europe. They also only spend 40% of their revenue on wages which is the lowest percentage in Europe.

          They would be the worst club in the leagues to follow. It's a disgrace what Levy gets away with.

            So what would be next for Ang? Would he manage a team in the Championship?

                Does a swap of managers happen often?

                I suspect Brentford would be interested but is Ang the right person to be at a selling club?

                  Agree with you chef , but they have the mentality of a small club , and as you rightly say run it like a bussiness and sell their best players for profit likme a bussiness does example , they sold Gareth Bale at his best and then Harry Kane in full flight .
                  When the big clubs come calling Levy who runs that club with an iron fist , his 1st question to them is what are you willing to pay .
                  In an interview he clearly said and i quote " Noone is irreplaceable " and " Everyone has a price " .

                    If Frank does depart, Brentford are apparently interested in current Ipswich Manager Kieran McKenna
