Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[Hotspur88]

The fact he was on the list meant he fitted the criteria of the kind of manager the board wanted for the club. Therefore I don’t see how ‘luck’ comes into it.

It's not lucky he was on a list, it's lucky he fucked up a couple of other options who would have got the job over Ange had they accepted.

Who knows how the other candidates would’ve come across in interviews, towards the fans etc. a criteria is a good baseline, but it’s not definitive in terms of a perfect fit. I doubt they all have the same personality, you can’t fit that into a criteria as each individual is completely unique.

That’s what is meant when people say lucked into it. If we had gotten the first pick under our “criteria” it wouldn’t have been Ange.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

He doesn't. The only fact is that ange was given the job.

I suppose all of the good signings are lucky, and the likes of Ndombele was all levy.

Yep. Anything good is ‘luck’ any failures are just down to incompetent Levy. This is the kind of balanced views I read on here every day.

I am as Levy out as they come but you have to give credit where it's due and he has to take some credit for appointing Ange, however that came about.

My issue with using ‘luck’ as a metric is that if Ange was fucking up then I’m sure most on here wouldn’t be saying it was just an ‘unlucky’ appointment.

 

[Tucker]

How do you know he ‘wasn’t even 4th choice?’

Pretty sure we had info from Prof that he was second choice, and that it was close between him and Slot all along.

And even if he was second choice it’s still a pretty brave appointment.

And you can rightfully criticise levy for writing off 4 years with the previous 3 managers. Despite CL qualification, the footballing side has been shambolic.

However, I can't think of a bad signing we've made in the last 2 years. Imo

Even a broken clock is right twice a day …….

 

[DiVaio]

Well he went for slot first right?

Well Slot is another really good, attacking manager with great press conferences and experience of rebuilding team after losing their best players so I bet the vibes right now would be really similar.

Totally agree.

Paratici has done a good job.

 

[Dare]

Paratici has done a good job.

Who appointed Paratici? Luck?

Agreed, but on past observation, our good appointments had an element of luck to them. Poch wouldn’t have come if we had convinced LVG. Ange wouldn’t have been our manager if Slot had taken our offer instead of extending. I’m not saying it’s an objective metric, but in these two isolated incidents it definitely played a part.

Daniel, where is my striker mate?

Donna?

 

[soflapaul]

Consider this a metaphor for both Ange and Spurs this year and has nothing at all, i swear, with this thread. F***ing A, we got ourselves a manager!

 

[Hotspur88]

Daniel, where is my striker mate?

Wanted to concentrate on ticket prices first, I'll get you one soon.

COYS,
