I know! Especially as the reality is usually much worse.

Ha ha ha, another poster telling me there are positives and he could be a good manager, when I've already said this myself.
I keep saying the same thing over and over it's about the bigger picture. I told you all, this was 2021 all over again 4-5 weeks ago because of how things were behind the scenes.
Once the decision is made I'll be 100% behind the guy appointed make no mistake, and he may or may not be a success. Make no bones about it though this has been another complete shitshow brought to you by the same people who brought you the last shitshow. Be optimistic by all means, but if it works out it wasn't be design and it hasn't been in the long term plan. It'll be because we've stumbled our way here after numerous others, and weeks of indecision.
As I say in my original post don't dress this up a like it's a win because it isn't, if it turns out to be a win it's because we've got lucky.
Hopefully we won't be back here in 18 months time but if we are please, please, please remember why.

It does feel like empty words whenever Levy comes out with one of his infrequent proclamations. His last one was a real copy and paste statement.

Taking 69 days to appoint a manager, whilst still showing little to no evidence of a clear plan is fairly good "information".
Let's take stock of this, the fact that our no1 player and club talisman is entering his final year of his contract with us, no DOF to plan for the summer's acquisitions, a chairman who insists on meddling in everything that happens on and off the pitch to the detriment of the club, these are just a few tidbits of "information" we need to know that the outlook is pretty bleak at the minute.
The information is there if you choose to see it.

And I'm sure people convincing themselves that a manager whose done good in Scotland, Australia and Japan is the man to turn our fortunes around isn't?
Pretty much any scenario in life that involves sharing ones personal opinion will have some form of confirmation bias to it.
I just look at this Celtic team and Ange has clearly filled it with good Japanese players he knows that have helped him stack the deck even more in Scotland.
Not sure he knows of any great players that can make the jump to the Premier League.

Yea it's a shit show yet again, yea we are led by a incompetent board when it comes to football, yea no one believes whoever we appoint now was no.1, yea we have a good idea we're fucked when Kane leaves given our history of failed signings and yea most of us have no faith the bald midget will keep the fuck out of footballing decisions but that shouldn't stop us from trying to see the positives in any new manager.
Anyone who says otherwise is too blinded by an agenda and is just as bad as the BSODL mob.

No one has said you can't see the positives in a new manager, unless I've missed something?

I think everybody is well aware of all of this at this point. The majority of our fanbase has come to accept that we're fucked until Levy goes and that our ambitions are capped at qualifying for a European competition we'll likely never win. With that in mind, my position is to take whatever breadcrumbs of hope I can from the shambles.
We may luck into Ange (or any good manager) in spite of Levy, but we also lucked our way into Jol and Pochettino and we had some brilliant times with both. It's a shitty position to have to hope to luck our way into something that might be good but unfortunately we're viewing everything through the lens of damage limitation given our owners.
Ange seems tactically astute, a nice guy who'll want to be here and defend the club as opposed to publicly torch it, and maybe the football will be good. We won't fully back him, we probably won't win anything, and we'll be doing this dance in a few years time - let's enjoy what we can in the interim.

You do realise that Celtic will win the cup, Ange will get the microphone to address the crowd and announce that he's not going anywhere

And as I said in my original post, nobody is dressing this up as a win.
you've also got to remember that by all accounts, you know more about what's going on behind the scenes than the rest of us.
Again, as I said, nobody is making this out to be anything other than what it is...a shitshow.
people are just saying that it may not actually be a bad result after all the fuck ups so far.
And I managed do say that without resorting to childish and patronising bold and big letters.
After so many years on here mate, I thought you were better than that.

I think the manager search that ended in Nuno felt more protracted because it was over the summer. And it certainly to me felt like we had more info on what a mess it was behind the scenes.
It might well have been just as bad this time, or even worse, but to me it feels like the club have been locked down more on leaks.

In all fairness you did say he was being a little precious about it, is that not childish or patronising?

How could we possibly forget? When the Levy out mob insist on ramming it down everyone’s throats every five minutes.

It's incompetence either way, no club has taken this long on two separate occasions to appoint a new manager or at least show somewhat of a plan for the club and the future.
If they had one we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.

Problem is, I dont have a clue whats going on behind the scenes, Trix seems to but I have no intention of taking it as read, no one should and while the evidence does infact point towards Danny boy being a numpty, I cant change it and I have to strap in and get pulled along for the ride. If it is Postilygoogo, then it is, I cant change that either. I can come on here and shout and scream, cry bloody murder and nothing will change. So whats left? roll with it and support the new guy. If we are here again in 18 months then we are and I will have to live through that too, well its that or stop supporting Spurs.
Everyone has the right to feel the way they do, some of us may want to at least try to be positive whoever comes through the door, being negative wont change anything, being positive for *me* at least helps me get through the day.

I think it's more a majority of apprehension in terms of AP than negativity.
(Saying this, I'm personally happy to have anyone at the helm as long as they're backed by the board to their fullest capability)
