Don’t feel great about this

“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. ⚽︎

Ange

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 Postecoglou

THFC’s Vision Thing

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? ⚽️

“These things just don’t happen here!"

Tottenham Hotspur have stormed into the palace of the champions and turned over the furniture!

COYS(!) ⚽️
