I hope Mason is incorporated into his support staff. Seems like the sorta bloke who would welcome Mason into the tent, given his current relationship with the club and players. It will certainly make the new changes go smoother. Well done him. I love a good meritocracy story.

I'm going to be honest. This to me is a terrible signing and I truly hope it falls.
We need an attacking manager, but not just anyone.
Everything that I've seen from him makes me feel he's going to fail miserably.
It's clear that the gap with the Scottish league is huge, but that's not the main reason. His teams are terrible at defending. I understand that having an attacking stance always comes at the expense of less solidity in defense, but the way he plays is just reckless and teams in the EPL will punish you a lot more. Look at how he played against superior teams in the CL this season and the ending score of those games.
If he ends up being appointed, I'm not going to wish he fails, but I won't support him either. He will have to earn that with work and results
I know most people on this board like to support everyone from the start so I'll get several disagrees, but I it's that kind of attitude that allows Levy to keep doing what he does. We know what we need, but when it doesn't happen, everyone starts with the mental gymnastics to justify why the latest appointment is a good one. It happened with all the last mangers that were appointed. At some point I even read posts where people tried to explain that Gattuso was a good manager.

I started supporting Spurs in Jols last year (at 15 here in America) when myself and all my friends played the game. We all chose PL sides and I loved Keane, Lennon, Berbatov, Defoe. I picked the club because the supporters seemed the best and because there was a lot of attacking excitement.
So since then I've loved the redknapp and Poch eras. During this search, even as I was big on Arne I did my research since Ange's name was being touted around in the background. I kept thinking to myself - this guy just gives me the same vibes as some of our most loveable managers.
After an era of Conte and Mourinho, I'm actually more invested if Ange is appointed. I just hope he sticks true to his values he often talks about and takes the risk! If it pays off, many will come around to him I'm sure. Let's be entertained this season!

Don't hold back. Bit confused as beginning you say I hope it fails then say I am not going to wish it fails!
Either way when the whistle goes for the first game we should only be wanting the win.
Yup can't believe we've reached this low. Jesse Marsch or whatever his name is ( gives me those vibes) we were atrocious defensively this season....and we then have this guy whose teams can't defend either.
The new Everton is where we headed.

So you'll only support him if he proves to be successful?
What type of glory hunting behavior is that?

Find it hard to believe that if you remove everything but Ange.. how do you not root for someone like him? Underdog, always written off, great values.. at the very least I feel like many could get behind him as a man.
Totally understand everything else as you add in opinions of the club, how it's run. But the guy is class act!

Too many people in here act as if they really know what is going to happen. Count me among the ignorant. I have no clue if he is the second coming of billy nick or of avb or somewhere in between. Confusing knowledge with feelings is the surest way to angst especially when supporting Spurs.

If this is actually done in the 48 hours or whatever then I don't think the calls for "60 days to appoint a coach" are right and I will never criticise a board/owner/DOF for that.
I wanted the club to take a bit of time and not react like they have done over the last few years.
Jose was in 24 hours after Poch.
Jose was fired in true reactionary fashion instead of just finishing the season.
Nuno was fumbled through the door.
Conte was begged to take the job.
It's hard for me to sit here and criticise them for not having a plan when Conte was fired because I simply have no idea what was going on behind the scenes.
But, Munn's appointment came out of nowhere and that had obviously been in the works. We also had details that the club had been doing some soul searching prior to that.
So maybe, just maybe, they had stopped and taken a moment to drum up a plan.
Conte's explosion probably through a spanner in the works and they certainly fudged the Stellini move. But it does seem that they were planning for the summer, at least, in which big operational changes were going to take place.
I wanted them to take a bit of time, I was certainly not onboard with hastily bringing Poch or any other available coach in through the door.
I wanted to see real clear consideration.
The fact that the Slot talk ramped up prior to Feyenoord's last home game showed that they were ready to make that move as soon as their season was finished.
As soon as that talk died down, weve had days of the Postecoglou talk ramping up, once again in anticipation of Celtics season finishing.
That to me, at least, looks like a strategy from the outside.
All of the coaches linked seriously, bar a couple, have fit the model of attack minded, progressive upcomers.
I have to admit, I got a little tetchy after Slot had come out and said he was staying put.
But on reflection, I think thats a lot to do with the Nuno saga and how we fudged every good connection up.
I don't think we've been rejected as much as people believe.
I'm not even sure if Nagelsmann was on our list and may have simply been a quick enquiry.
If I'm wrong in that, it may damage my POV but I still think other than that I wanted to see a strategy, a change in the way we appoint people and a new coach in place by early June.
Looks like that is happening so I can't complain.
