    No. 22 league losses and I dont like his style,. Inflexible and he didnt seem to have a plan B.

    Its no surprise Ange has gone. Spurs shouldve been nowhere near winning a cup this season, theyve been abysmal.
    LOL no way Levy will shell out 250k a week in wages for anyone but himself. 70m transfer howay man divvent be daft. More chance of platting pi$$

    That's a really good question, man.

    Old regime? I'd say yes. I used to say I'd take relegation if a cup win came too and I meant it. I'd never seen us win a cup but I'd seen a few relegations.

    Postegoglu saying they had an outstanding season based on a cup win was absolute bollocks, though. 17th in the league is atrocious regardless of anything else.

    I?ve seen a lot of posts over the years saying exactly that: Id take 17th if we won a cup.

    Before this season I would have accepted the Europa cup, CL and 17th. Its been a massive get out of jail for Spurs.

    Slugman said "I'll leave when we win something". So Relegation and a pot would have expeditated his exit. Fortunately we managed to oust the fat pr!ck and here we are.

    Spurs have to be realistic of who they are. The fact is Levy gave the big time a shot with all the Bale money and Pochettino. He blew the final and like any surging wave, it broke and rolled back.

    We had it in the 1990s, no long term strategy. Levy needed that UCL win Pochettino blew it so the couldn't sustain. Leeds, Blackburn the same. Portsmouth to a lesser extent.

    The Lilly livered North London coward's development was built on sand whilst Chelsea had bought the planet and City were going big on Yaya, Silva, Aguero etc.

    Levy has figured out the sweetest formula. Bring in a manager, he has a bad run, Fans turn on them and blame them, end up hating them, He sacks them. Creams off the dividends for Bahamas Joe and himself.

    Wipe it down and start again.

    They don't pay 'Big 6' wages, They don't pay 'Big 6' transfer fees, they sell to the top clubs at top dollar. Fat slug Cashley was SD Sports poundland, Levy and the cowards are Ocado/Waitrose. Same principle just higher prices for the same mediocre products.

    Spurs haven't had a player since Berbatov & Bale that i've actually wanted to NUFC to sign.

    For me I just look at Spurs and think Ange has given them their first trophy in a generation.

    Yes the league form was abysmal, but would it be that bad next season.

    He has delivered them a Trophy and Champions League and should get the opportunity to turn around the league form next season.

    What if they had a better league campaign at the expense of their European success?

    Would they have preferred 6th and no trophy? Get into Europa League next year?

    But still trophyless and no Champions League.

    I just honestly do not know? My thoughts right now are, if this was Eddie, I would give him a chance to right the wrongs - he has shown what he can do. I just do not think Ange has shown he would be able to turn things around? that being said, who are Spurs and what are their expectations? They are in and out of the top 4, never real challengers for their league. And had a better season than Arsenal. Give Ange a chance!

    I would have accepted that for Newcastle (before we won a trophy that is) not now

    I think it's also an attitude thing. No way is Eddie Howe cupping his ear at the fans when his team scored an off-side goal.

    Levy is too tight. He'll bitch at that and put off and put off, until both Brentford and Frank will get fed up.
