Ange is an Australian Sporting Icon. He really goes down as an absolute legend of sport. Very few top him.

Hence the $40mil price tag. He'd be at least double that if his body could handle the demands.

Burnley will have learnt lessons from last time as will Leeds. The top half of the table and playing with flouting PSR rules because they know it's a Paper Tiger. The only club/owner trying to play the PSR game is Levy, but is unwilling to close the wage:revenue ratio gap.

Go ahead. Knock yourself out :)

No really how this works. The clubs I mentioned are heavily focused with on-field success and others like Newcastle, Chelsea & Bournemouth are going to join the race for top 4. The Prem has never been more competitive, particularly for top 4. Levy doesn't give a shit about the football side...

What has happened in and around Spurs since Poch has left is clubs less resourced than Spurs have poured all their experience into gaining advantages in other areas such as sport science & data analytics, which has taken advantage of market inefficiencies in the league. It has resulted in...

I'm sure it will go swimmingly :) Unfortunately for Spurs, there's no prime Kane/Son et al to paper over the cracks.

"I have nothing against Ange as a manager, I just don't like the sycophants".....apparently

Spurs theoretically have a better chance of reaching the final, but it is Spurs. The league is weird now, mathematically Spurs are safe. They can lose every game for the rest of the season and nothing will change. So there is no incenctive other than pride for Spurs to go out and try win every...

They’ll need a decent home result as Bodo’s pitch is garbage.

He won't, the big leagues by and large are recruiting the next gen of coaches. Ange is part of the old guard. I expect him to retire but happy to be proven wrong.

Moyes is probably the floor as far as Manager suitability for the prem. Ange is below that, IMO.

Did we all believe he’d become a top level manager in The Prem?

Ange’s issue is he’s been a big fish in a small pond most his life. It’s very hard to make the transition to a large ocean at the end of your career. It’s very hard to notice your failings when you’ve succeeded so much prior. I don’t think the support is “happy clappy’, we just want to see an...

He dropped Spence for Udogie. Oh boy…

Every manager at elite level has connections. They bring them in whether as assistants or DOF’s. Ange never really worked those connections much and prior to Spurs, Celtic was his only European top flight gig he’d been exposed to. He’s his own man, but at the summit of football, one requires...

He's supported by Jedinak, Monty & some random portuguese guy who was at Mariners. They're nobody's. Same with the English contingent there. A far cry from your Queiroz's and Meulensteen's who had the ear of SAF all those years ago. He has no shoulder to lean on. His backroom staff are a bunch...

I get it why Ange would rub people up the wrong way, but I think it's misguided. With Ange comes a large group of admirers. Most just want to see an Australian do well / like the guy for what he's given to the game. He brings that with him wherever he goes and it annoys the...

This is one of the best reviews of Ange’s tactical foibles. Worth a watch. Very balanced.

it’s all finally come undone. Ange isn’t the first manager to be rattled by the British environment and he isn’t the last. All 4 walls are caving in on the guy now and you can clearly see it on his face. Every man and his dog wants this relationship over. For Ange’s own mental health he...
