Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[SpursSince1980]

2 weeks until our next game

Very intrigued how he utilises Johnson, clearly has a plan for him which is so refreshing to hear.

DL may just have got very lucky again with the appointment of Ange, because I'm telling you now, the managerial hunt was a shitshow yet again.

All due respect, but can we give it a rest, mate? We know. We get it. We have been told by you and other ITK ad nauseum what an absolute pile of poop Levy is and all his minions. The majority do not dispute this. Agreed that they screw things up, left right and center. And any success is despite them, not because. This has been documented dozens of times. Collective spleens vented hundreds of times over the years.

Can we just embrace the moment without everything always reverting to anti-Levy negativity? Sorry, but I just find it corrosive repeating the same refrain time and again. It winds people up no end (as you know) and marginalizes the achievements of the team.

Apologies, as I know it is verbotten to speak out against ITK. But hopefully this is taken as intended. Not questioning your information. Just would be nice to have a day without dragging a celebration into an anti Levy sing-along.

Let‘s just enjoy the here and now while it lasts. Then when we lose, by all means eviscerate away.

Maybe the person who recommended Ange to Levy should get some credit, as there is no way Levy watches any football outside of our games.

Yeah try and get to away as much as possible, didn't manage to get there today unfortunately but I watched it. Got a busy few months coming up but got a few games lined up . Did you go?

No, I decided I couldn't be arsed to apply.

Gutted now.

Most of the levy posts are in response to posts saying what a great job levy did with Ange H88 is adding some flavour to what they're saying. It goes both ways.

Three f****** pages on the meaning of “lucky”. This place…

Noticed how Ange interviews? He looks up at the start of the question, then stares at the floor/table in front of him, before then looking up at the questioner when finished.

It obviously works for him, but a bit of an odd way to have a "conversation" with the interviewer.

 

[Hotspur88]

I'd also like to add any good signing we've made recently is just pure 'luck', yet the poor signing are 100% on Levy

Ps I don't actually mind Levy, he's done an amazing job off the pitch driving us forward and deserves a lot of credit for that. It's just when you are privy to the inner goings on at a club and hear some of the shit about him, it's not easy to be positive.

Ange, with Fabio behind the scenes and Gabbiadini continuing to scout players for us is the way forward.

The way our squad is shaping up, from the first team down to the youth teams is really impressive.

Are we the finished article, no of course not but I’m finding it all very encouraging, which is slightly unsettling as a Spurs fan

 

[The Scarecrow]

As if all you naysayers weren't also up in arms over our 'lack of ambition' when we were linked with Ange. You doubted him, Levy hired him.

Every presser he is the same, I picked that up after his second conference, I guess it’s just how he talks

Thank fuck Slot turned us down.

I think he's actually a bit of an introvert. That's a classic introverted trait, avoiding eye contact. He comes across as strangely shy.

At the same time he's got good charisma and you listen.

You’ll find me in the opponent’s fans thread

Also very common for folks on the spectrum. Not unlike myself!

Something about him didn’t sit right with me. Certain swagger and arrogance. Something we didn’t need following two of the most narcissistic managers in football. That, and he clearly would have seen us as a stepping stone. Fuck that bald, Pillock.

Do you now feel fortunate?

 

[spurs9]

He didn't, we just didn't want to pay the fee to get him.

 

[EQP]

Think he has a strong chance of winning manager of the month award. Don't know how I feel about that given the curse associated with winning that

 

[spurs9]

Probably Levy's 4th choice if we're honest. Tuchel, Nagelsmann, slott and then Ange.

Guess he got there eventually but if his plan had worked he wouldn't have.

You obviously don't remember the meltdown on here when WE turned Nagelsmann down.

as a body language expert he is very kinesthetic. down and to the left and down and to the right although some NLP practitioners will say that is internal kinesthetic and internal verbal........

whatever it is, he creates belief and that is what this bunch needs

Yeah I could see that. He's super smart as well and the comments about not talking to people during the games are someone that likes to process in their own time.

High functioning for sure!
