Still, “Come on you Spurs!”
“Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties.” – Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) June 6, 2025
In any case, waiting around this long is a very Spursy move. (Also, adiós, Christian Romero, best player on the club [except when he goes bananas].)
UPDATE: We shall see, but I sure feel better about Thomas Frank at Spurs (and Romero, too) than I did 6 weeks ago. ⚽︎
I now think that Ange should stay at Spurs because the players are so solidly behind him. Canning him would gut the team and kill the very non-Spursy mentality that he’s cultivated. It’s an ethos that won them a trophy and can pay dividends for years to come.

I don’t usually win things, I always win things in my second year.

Ange must go (regrettably). But, for pity’s sake, Levy, hire a manager still committed to attacking! (Preferably one who also improves a midfield that neither serves the forward players nor protects the defense, which has been Spurs' undoing this year, imo.) @frjon, thoughts? ⚽️
Tottenham Hotspur have stormed into the palace of the champions and turned over the furniture!

Come On You Spurs! ⚽
The thing about an ugly win is that it's ... worth 3 points.
⚽
Given that I’d never, ever, heard the words (or name) “Ange Postecoglou” until last June, those syllables currently take up an inordinate amount of my brain space. (Come on you Spurs!) ⚽
Two Three games isn't much to go on. But, at least for those games, Spurs look like a much improved team -- emphasis on team. This isn't just Sonny and Harry Kane. It's Sonny, Bissouma, Maddison, Udogie, Sarr, Romero, Lo Celso (based on pre-season), Perisic. So far, so fun! COYS!
