    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I think he did touch on this on the Overlap and in previous comments in pressers. It’s a combination of understanding that his job was to play a more proactive style of football (eg they did that under Antonio and didn’t want to do it anymore) as well his comments about if you stop asking...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Other than the players being used to the methods and being more resilient to them as a result, right? Are you saying there is absolutely zero possibility of that being the case?

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I actually agree with this. Maybe it’s more hope than expectation but if he sees it as ‘I always take a year to fully bed in my culture’ then maybe a year in the Champ to do that while breeding more positivity meaning he would win more games on the way…I can see that angle. Give him a ten year...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I love it man. I don’t tend to react too much to short term results. But I do get really down when I see a long term trend or bad decisions being made that cause long term decline. I’m trying to find the humour in a terrible situation, but all I’m saying with our players feeling comfortable...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    Yeah I don’t really want us to get relegated but if it hastens a much needed reset including at boardroom level then in some ways I will be happy. This club is an archetype of what happens when you do just enough to tread water and not enough to push on. The chickens will have come home to roost...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    We have better finances than all of them. More high quality youth that would see this as an opportunity. I think we’re more likely to be Saudi Sportswashing Machine under Hughton than any of them.

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    Yes of course. And my post is absolutely self preservation. I’m looking for the positives. Not because I want it to happen but because it will be one of my darkest Spurs supporting days and I will need something to hold onto.

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    Agreed. I too of course don’t want to get relegated. But if we are, I genuinely feel it will be ok. More Saudi Sportswashing Machine / Villa than Sheffield Wednesday. Because we do have strong finances. We aren’t built on a house of sand. And in some ways I think a reset would be good for us. Ideally we could do...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I explained my point of view mate, in what I thought was a fair and balanced and also an (attempted) quite humorous way. Of course I don’t actually want us to be relegated! But if we are, I laid out why I think it could be an opportunity. Either way we need a reset.

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    Made my peace with relegation actually being a fun opportunity. We have so many good young players, so Lange’s kids will finally get a chance to shine. Add a bit of Champ quality, keep the players that would be willing. I think it would be fine. And everything that is true today about the...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Ignoring the ideas of radically changing the playing system and giving the players bodies something new to get used to again, my belief is also based on the law of averages and probability that we simply couldn’t suffer as bad an injury crisis like that again. Still not following why my...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I don’t know for sure. But I think there’s a fair argument that given we have played a less intense style this season and still gotten crazy injuries, maybe it wasn’t all Ange to begin with? Or that maybe part of the issue is in radially shifting from one coaching style and playing system to...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I don’t think it’s a problem because with a deeper squad and less injuries his style would have worked better. As it did when we got 5th, and as it did up to the City 4-0 before the injuries really started to bite.

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Ok but, if hypothetically a manager suffers a historic, unprecedented injury crisis including all of his centre backs, and barely has 11 fit players to put out while dealing with a game every 3 days, leading to a league campaign unfortunately becoming pointless in that season, then could you...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    He has said that if he completely changed their principles in the league it would have stored up issues down the line. Would have maybe gotten more points in the short term but the players would have questioned needing to be brave when we were back to having a normal squad. He was trying to...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Would be nice. Also still think there is dissonance in the idea we were always going to walk the Europa. When now the general feeling is the squad is bad and needs to be cleared out.

    Mathys Tel

    Actually think the way we’ve treated Tel is a disgrace to be honest. The fact that he is still showing up with confidence and trying to make things happen. And is obviously very talented, cannot understand why he hasn’t played more.

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    Honestly I have no idea! I have to believe our superior quality versus Palace would see us through but what else is there? I don’t know. They’ve lost Guehi. The manager wants out. It probably isn’t great in that dressing room either. We simply have to win that game. Pray that the players have...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Ok….I’m not sure how else to say it. There is every chance we could have won that tournament anyway. But after the season we had, with a broken down squad, to arrive in that final believing we were going to win, against a club synonymous with winning…I think Ange had something to do with that...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    He was wrong to take the job. I’ve said it a bunch of times but if you’re hiring Ange because you expect pragmatism, you’re hiring the wrong guy. You hire him because you want him to bring his brand of football and uncompromising belief. I think Ange would even acknowledge that because of...
