...while I'm here, expressing my opinion on Ange and the various counter views, here's something to share...
...just because some of us (I include myself) wanted to see where an Ange - Spurs would've gone next season given the intangible gold dust of a trophy and the psychological bonds it forges, it doesn't mean we don't undersrtand that the bloke presided over 22 defeats. We get it. I personally chose to add the context of injuries and club mistakes to the mix (alongside some failings of Ange's too). That I did so does not make my opinion/that opinion any more or less accurate than anyone else's. I really don't need someone banging on at me about '22 defeats' all over again. As it happens, I think the direction we have chosen is best for this club and how it operates in all senses (I've been clear about that in other threads). But people telling me that 'if' Postecoglu had stayed 'we'd have been in this state by October' and telling me with a factual air what 'would've' gone wrong? Nah. Not having it. You don't know. You're guessing just like I am. And that's all good, different opinions, right? Right!
Also perfectly said. It’s the idea that because we lost 22 games, we’d definitely just be in that place again the following season. It’s as stupid as saying that now we’re actually a cup team and sacking him is saying that we don’t want win more trophies.
