Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

He basically threw the league in January to win the Europa League. Guy's got massive cohones. But he delivered.

Question is whether Levy agrees with his approach - I think he might, because this means the Spurs never wins trophies monkey is also off his back.
 
I still don't understand that really. The main difference I see in our European games is that we're set up better. More defensively and pragmatic. I don't understand why that couldn't be the case in the league. Why play so open in one competition and defend properly in another?
 
We really can't sack Ange now. Give him the Super Cup!

Everything I said before still stands though, something has got to change next season.

If I am Levy and Don Paratici, we sit down with Ange and say we want you to stay, how are you going to be competitive in the league as well as the cups? There has to be a plan because we can't have another 21 league defeat season

So does that mean next season we either flirt with relegation again in order to do well in Champions League or we bin the Champions League off in order to hopefully finish mid table?

Worrying that we have a manager that can't handle 2 competitions

A winning manager.

The squad couldn't handle it arguably

Don’t forget that although this season in the league has been unacceptable (as Ange has said) last season we did very well

We have almost always had a weak level of backup to our squad and plenty of sides (Chelsea a few times) have had poor seasons then improved the next

I personally don’t want this to become us going back on this never ending merry go round with of managers

I want to give the guy who has brought us silverware the benefit of the doubt

Our inability to navigate an injury crisis should be a message to the chairman. We know what Levy is like so whatever he listens is another thing entirely

Of course it doesn't. Very few teams have sucess or win trophies in several competitions the same year. This was a mid season assessement, not without risks, to put all eggs in the Europa League basket. Had we been in the top three in the PL, priorities would've been different.

What do you think putting all eggs in the basket entailed?
 
We went in this season very very light with European football. 4 Teenagers and Dom Solanke I said back in August we are going to struggle.

We have now won a trophy. We need a squad that can compete on 2+ fronts whoever the coach. If I am Paratici and Levy I want to hear Ange's strategy to compete on more than 1 front

We gave him the benefit of doubt at the end of last season. This season has confirmed it

This season has confirmed we are European trophy holders.

You seem pretty unhappy Carl, do you know we just won our first trophy in nearly two decades?

Sack him is an option, I am saying I want to hear his strategy to compete on more than one front.

OK this is ancient history but we went down under Burkenshaw, he brought us back up and we had some of the best success the club has had. We may be on the cusp of more, I would want to hear from him how he can adapt.
But yes I don't want another season like this
