Welcome Ange

[Hurrikane Harold]

Interesting, gonna be fun to see how Angeball unfolds

 

[ClemFandango]

Angry Spurs Twitter is up in arms (shockingly .. ) about Mason potentially staying on as part of Ange's coaching staff.

He's been called "spineless" and "cowardly" for not immediately resigning and going to manage in the Championship.

 

[Yid]

That's a joke... I'm an angry cunt... but that kid simply tried to dig us out of the shit...

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

I am glad Ryan is staying, he loves the club, and has contributed much to it.

 

[J.spurs]

I'm delighted Ryan is staying for the reasons stated. Plus I'm not convinced that managing in the EFL outside a few big Championship clubs is necessarily good preparation for the PL.

I can't say Ange was high on my list. But he's here (or coming very soon),apparently plays attacking football, and it's all quite exciting, isn't it? From what I read (admittedly mainly posted by Celtic fans or @The Cryptkeeper 's extended family ) he's the best man for the job. Or any job, apparently. So let's see what he can do - I hope he turns out to be Bill Nick mk ii and stays for 55 years.

It would be impressive if he manages the club until he’s 112. On the other hand it felt like Mourinho and Conte’s tenures lasted 55 years…

Proper hard man as a player. Not quite Joe Jordan levels of intimidation in the dugout, but pretty close.

Reminds me of Roy Kent from Ted Lasso

I still cant begin to fathom how Angeball will work. When the full backs push up and inside, how do the two CBs cope?
Seems to be asking so much of the four defenders. In Emerson I think we have a RB that can cope with the pace defending and recovery needed
But not at all sure about LB, can Udogie do what's required in a Prem debut season?
I just can't imagine how it will all work. For sure I think we need a CB and LB to give it a fighting chance

I think this is why we're targeting athletic CBs who are tidy in possession. This does not, of course, explain why we're signing Lenglet.

It's going to take time to get the squad sorted out, and as you're kind of pointing to, the biggest issue is really the fact that we have been bringing in wing backs (Udogie, Spence, Sessegnon, Perisic, Pedro Porro) and now we've hired a manager who doesn't use them, at least to my knowledge. I'd imagine the approach would be to keep the likes of Davies and Emerson around, train the others to fit the system, and get rid of the ones who don't impress.

Of course, none of this is going to get completely done this summer, it's going to take multiple windows and a lot of patience.

I thought I saw Longboat was being jogged on...!!!???

seems he is option 5 or 6 at this point

 

[Glenjamin]

Should really be option 56...

There have been conflicting reports over the last week, with the most recent ones suggesting the club are in talks to make it a permanent deal.

Good points, so much work needs to be done. I think we could finish anywhere from 4th to 14th ATM

 

[J.spurs]

Well that's good news.

Get ready for goals and strap yourself in. I've trawled through all Ange's seasons (league only) starting from Brisbane Roar to Celtic and here are the results

Brisbane Roar - 2 and a half seasons. 80 games, 2 x 0:0 draws (2 championships)

Melbourne Victory - 1 season (3 games next season before he got the Socceroos job). 32 games, 1 0:0 draw (Out in the semi finals)

Yokohama Marinos - 3 and a half seasons. 119 games, 3 x 0:0 draws (1 championship)

Celtic - 2 seasons. 76 games, 3 x 0:0 draws (2 championships)

Total 0:0 = 9

Chance of seeing a 0:0 game at a Spurs game = 2.9%

The common theme is his teams score loads of goals and concede loads of goals so I've done more analytics.

Total Games Managed = 307

Goals Scored = 616

Average goals per game scored = 2

Goals Conceded = 352

Average goals per game conceded = 1.15

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Today’s press conference was magnificent.

 

[J.spurs]

Ran across this tonight. Really looking forward to seeing what Ange can do at the club. Seems like a good fella who is a very good fit.

This vibe has been missing for so long.

 

[Havocc]

Love hearing this guy talk, honest with no bullshit cryptic bollocks.

Again, no bullshit. Ange on the early positive reception he's gotten:
"It means a lot but I’m not comfortable with it. You love what it means because for the most part it’s blind faith. I haven’t yet delivered anything. Hopefully when the day comes that we deliver as a team it will mean something different then."

He really comes across as an 'old soul' with wisdom beyond his years & people naturally gravitate to him.
And he really knows where he stands & what he believes he can achieve.

No problem getting behind someone like this.
