    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I agree with a lot of this. The only thing I’d add and where I slightly disagree with a lot of what has been written about his time, is that their squad was wildly unsuited to Ange. I actually think Nuno’s issue with Edu was that he signed players not suited to him, and I think Ange had...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    You’re wrong, we beat Frankfurt. A huge win and result at their place, that was effectively the final. If we won that, we had a great chance of winning the trophy, and we did.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    At the end of the day, the fans will be on side if he had started to win games. I think that’s separate to defending his record, because again it’s not like he is spoken about with respect, he is spoken about as a joke figure that doesn’t deserve to be here. There’s nothing he can say to fans...

    Also just to add on Ange. Iraola had 6 draws and 3 losses in his first 9 games with Bournemouth. He is now spoken of as one of the league’s great disrupters. Most would say deservedly so. Palace started last season with three points from 8 games. But Glasner similarly is seen as a top coach...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    You can see my post above as to why I think he might be ‘doubling down on what a great manager he is’ (heaven forbid a manager back himself in public!) but his point was that Conte and Jose were referred to as winners. And his argument is that he is a winner too. He proved his point correct. I...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    There was nothing disrespectful in the questions, and nothing disrespectful in his response. I’m not really understanding why he’s unable to defend his record. As I said, if the coverage was nuanced, and treated him like someone that actually deserves to be here, he wouldn’t do it. But that’s...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    He knew exactly what he was doing, and regardless of the questions asked he was going to say what he said today. I think it’s perfectly reasonable for him to defend his record, because no one else is going to do it for him, and to his point, he is always discussed as if he’s a failed manager...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I’d take the ‘junior in this environment’ point if he had actually failed to win something at Spurs. But he backed up his rhetoric. I think he felt the need to set some things on the record because once again he’s being talked about like he doesn’t fit here, doesn’t deserve to be here. And...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The point he made about both was that they hadn’t been able to win at Spurs where as he had. And that he had won anywhere he had been. Where is he wrong? Like it would be one thing if he said what he said in the Forest presser today, but had actually failed at Spurs, and went on to blame...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I think he’s perfectly entitled to defend his record and set some things straight when he’s routinely mocked and spoken about like he doesn’t even deserve to be at this level. Despite obvious success that he has had.

    I’d love to unpack this new model thing more, as I agree that they may have decided to look at the club differently by rethinking how investment can lead to success. There has definitely been more talk of how actually winning things boosts the valuation of clubs more in this day than maybe it...

    Was listening to Stefan Borson on Talksport…I think it was him. Someone mentioned that this might be 100m per year to help us compete in the market and this is the first tranche. To be honest, that doesn’t make sense to me. Unless the value of the club definitely increases by a bigger multiple...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I think it’s very likely because that’s what he’s been hired to do. Maranakis will have hired him because of who he is, because he would have felt Nuno’s football had a ceiling and he wanted Ange to help raise theirs. It may not work, but I think that’s the method. You don’t hire Ange because...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    All totally fair, I can appreciate that he’s media persona isn’t going to be to everyone’s taste. It’s also something that he clearly isn’t going to change, so opinions will be shifted there anyway. I think he’s usually fine with journalists when he’s respected, and snippy when they aren’t...

    I am completely fine with someone having the opinion of Ange not being good enough for our club. I might disagree, but I’m fine with it. What really irks me though is comments like ‘the George Weah’s cousin of managers’. Yes it’s a joke, but the implication is that he is so bad that not only...

    Ange disrespect continues to amaze me. Yes, they’ve gone from the solidity of Nuno to shifting to an ultra attacking style. They lost to Arsenal with no training time, battered Swansea and Betis, could have easily won against Burnley, and didn’t deserve to lose to Sunderland or tonight...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    I take this point, but we were missing them last season on the same ground, and didn’t face anywhere near the same level of threat from Bodo then. We were missing Romero, but I think the difference in performances were stark. I think Bodo are clearly really good, and will continue to be under...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    I was a little ‘happier’ with his efforts because it seemed like it was quite a pronounced change, enacted quickly. It didn’t work, but I appreciated he tried to adjust. That’s what I thought we were getting with him - this adaptability. But it seems like as you say the combinations piece is...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    When you say Frank is learning, and mention these players, do you think it will be meaningfully different in terms of style when they return? Reading The Athletic today, I think they have a fair read of it. The football is go full back to winger, get a cross in, hope to profit from it. And also...
