You're acting like my wife, who would argue the sky is green with her dying breath rather than open her eyes and understand what everyone else is telling her.

Which of our previous managers would you have given more time to?
All of them.
The joy of hindsight.
Doing the same thing over and over again is not the most sensible thing to do is it.
Jose - sacked o. A Monday before a final among he noise of us entering the ESL.
We lost the carabao cup final. With Ryan Mason in charge.
Nuno - we employed for him what 3 months?
As has been said on here more times than I can count. Be patient. So I won’t be too hypocritical about how long he got.
Conte - we were 4th.
Finished 8th. With Ryan Mason in charge.
Clearly that decision backfired.
Newcastle away….. fuck me that was awful.
Conte pretty much forced his way out (sacked himself).
If top 4 is Levy's holy grail (as repeatedly accused) then he had no reason to sack Conte if he kept his head down and just got on with the job.
It's quite obvious from some of the players that he'd turned into a toxic little shit-bag too.
Mistake keeping Stellini on as acting manager in the interim between Conte & Mason though..... A cleaner break from that regime might have seen Mason engender a bit more harmony and at least seen us qualify for Europa League.
I wouldn't have hired Nuno or Jose and Conte I wouldn't have hired him if I knew I wasn't going to give him what he wanted.
Is that you Jonathan Liew?

Anyway, all this talk about lowering our expectations to facilitate the so -called rebuild is utter nonsense. The term is a made up fallacy currently being used to somehow absolve years of disgusting squad neglect and numerous managerial scapegoats.
The most successful clubs are in a never ending cycle of rebuilding their squads. Always looking to replace a player with a better alternative. Knowing the right time to move a player on. I'm not sure why Spurs have to somehow be prepared for mediocrity in some undefined rebuilding window when we had a squad that Conte somehow got into the champions league little more than 18 months ago.
Accepting mediocrity is a surefire way to....well.......mediocrity
If top 4 is levy’s holy grail?? Seriously????
Hahahahahaha. Stop trolling.
Levys own statement below upon sacking conte. I wonder what he was aiming for??? 3 paragraphs and CL gets mentioned twice!!! Top 4 s our everything!!! The record books show that.
We can announce that Head Coach Antonio Conte has left the Club by mutual agreement. We achieved Champions League qualification in Antonio’s first season at the Club. We thank Antonio for his contribution and wish him well for the future.
Cristian Stellini will take the team as Acting Head Coach for the remainder of the season, along with Ryan Mason as Assistant Head Coach.
Daniel Levy, Chairman: “We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our Club and amazing, loyal supporters.”
Plenty would argue he should have been given less and sacked after Zagreb.
Well since we got to that stage he was owed the cup final at least
Fair... Certainly in terms of him 'earning' that final.
As far as his overall tenure goes I have mixed feelings... On one hand at times it was shit and things obviously weren't clicking; on the other he had a lot to contend with what with Covid (both the unprecedented practicalities of it but also the financial uncertainty it brought to our trf activity or lack there-of) and he also suffered some dreadful batches of injuries.
Spiteful and stupid by Levy.
Talking of 8, I've just realised that Postecoglou is an anagram of Lego Octopus.
Sorry ... please continue everybody.
It's not green???
I don't know your wife, but everyone else is actually saying give the man the fucking time.

This is the Ange Postecoglou thread. You seem to be projecting Levy and Enic's past conduct on to Postecoglou.
Who are these top clubs you speak of anyway? United? Liverpool? Barcelona? Real Madrid? City? PSG? The Arse?
