And we get Harry Redknapp back?And start the following season with 2 points from 24
And we get Harry Redknapp back?And start the following season with 2 points from 24
From November to recently I maintained that he'd stay in the job barring disaster and that the sack hasn't been close at all.This was after Forest and Newcastle respectively. We really, really need to wise up to this. Injuries or not, we're circling the drain:

Ange and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Season
Tottenham Hotspur have 24 points from 21 matches this season in the Premier League, a 43-44 point pace.wertwhile.substack.com
This article is crazy. I know some will scoff at data and not want to hear it, but it's wild to see just how insane of an outlier our season is in premier league history and how much better the team's performances have been than the table shows.
According to underlying numbers and performance level, we're on a very similar pace to last year and should be in an absolutely comfortable position in the table, yet we just aren't getting the points our play has deserved.
The comparison to Klopp's last season at Dortmund is fascinating too. Shows how sometimes you just can't legislate for chance and variance in football. If the club is embracing the data model fully, they'll be seeing this too and no doubt it's playing into their decision of sticking with Ange further.
How many have failed to qualify for Europe.The fact is that most of the managers will under achieving here.
It's amazing the number of times this has to be explained over and over again and still some people don't get it.Because a different manager will play a different way. It isn't just the players, the board, the injuries it's the tactics and team selections also. It's about how we only play one way, how we are predictable in both attack and defence regardless of the quality of opposition. It's about how we leave huge holes every time we go forward, and it's about how last night the answer to us not creating was just keep shoving more attacking players on whilst abandoning any semblance of team balance. Honestly I could go on and on and on, but what's the point?
Wow i can't believe we are 2pts behind West ham a badly run joke football club who have lost 2 fewer games than us decided to sack their manager because their board and fanbase thought the results were unacceptable. Meanwhile we think we should keep our manager who's doing even worse than banter club FCWow, can’t believe people in here today. We just played Arsenal away and lost 2-1 despite A) having a massively weakened team and B) having a team with players who are all overplayed right now and in need of a rest.
Last night should have been a fee hit game for Ange, we never win there under the current circumstances.
Furthermore he has been asking for forward reinforcements and clearly we need either a new CB to allow Gray to move into 6 or a player that can come in at 6.
Of course he’s still under pressure, and I agree he really needs a win against Everton, but for me nothing has changed with last nights game.
The fact that it's even being discussed says it all.250/1 odds. Get some money out of it if you think that’s a realistic possibility. I don’t think you will.
It's a cult.utter jokers. A month ago they issued a similar update with the last sentence being that “there is an understanding that results HAVE to improve” well since then we’ve picked up ONE point!
Ange has somehow normalised losing for a load of fans. It’s just not good enough, every loss should hurt immensely but these guys are now so used to it that it’s water off a ducks back.
I cannot think of any games where we have lost any we should have won , so to me this data is an absolute waste of time , look at the league tables instead![]()

But but but it’s difficult to buy players in January….City looking like they're gonna spunk C. 150 mill quid on 4 players in Jan and we're looking at short term loans rather than pushing/trying for long term scouted players. They must be some top quality players then if they can't be got in a January window. Exciting times ahead.
Really? Honestly?I cannot think of any games where we have lost any we should have won
And as usual they make the wrong decision, because this time they've left it too long and whoever takes over will have to get an unprepared squad up for a relegation battle.I
From November to recently I maintained that he'd stay in the job barring disaster and that the sack hasn't been close at all.
I think the next two games could lead to that.
Win them both and we kill any thoughts about getting dragged into a relagation battle. We can probably just focus on the cups then.
But less than 4 points and I think they see how we do in that League Cup semi final and if we win, they are going to have to measure each game and how close we are to getting dragged in versus the potential of winning a league Cup. Very difficult position to be in.
It's okay for the club to take a position that they will stick with him but once you get close to that danger zone, you have to act.
I do think that this time they are hoping Ange has any kind of turnaround because they really know they can't just put Mason in or get a temp in because in previous years Ange would have been sacked without a thought about the consequences.
I don’t agree with this at all.Question: how many of our current squad would we consider to be “world class”? And would get into EPL first xi or squad of the season?
Question 2: how many of our previous managers (who all failed to win anything too) had such players?
for Q1: I’m thinking only VdV, maybe. But that’s due to his speed and recovery ability as well as popping up occasionally with goals / assists.
maybe Deki too, when he wasn’t overplayed.
but that’s all.
compared to previously where we had prime Kane n Son, Hugo Cuti Deki n Bents to lesser extent (Conte), Hugo Toby Son Kane (Jose)
our squad is just not good enough. We need better players.
What would change if we only change managers? Maybe new manager bounce to lift us to 7-9th in the table, and then?
So are you saying we have a squad that should have the following record in last 49 league games:Question: how many of our current squad would we consider to be “world class”? And would get into EPL first xi or squad of the season?

When then?Really? Honestly?
When then?
