This is correct. He now has over $100m more to spend on new players, he can attract them with UCL play, and hopefully they won't have the same injury problems next year. Things are looking way, way up for Ange and Spurs.

Went back to X to see the receipts. You’re a gem Vince.

jamesean.bsky.social•10 days ago

terrifically written.

Give him proper reinforcements and watch him cook. Who in their right mind would even want to come in after Ange?! The players adore him. It would be such a pathetic move to get rid of him now. Other teams will be lining up to get him. He's ours.

makes a lot of sense

Great piece, Vince. It must have been fun writing it!

The Erik ten Hag trap

vincerugari.com•9 days ago

Not even close.

redshoeswd.bsky.social•9 days ago

Situations are eerily similar

vincerugari.com•9 days ago

They are actually not that similar

redshoeswd.bsky.social•9 days ago

So both come in and have pretty good first seasons. Ten Hag’s better, but Ange’s pretty good.

Second season both squads decimated by injuries. Unacceptable league performance. Again, Ten Hag’s better. Both end seasons on a high due to winning a trophy.

So yeah, quite similar

redshoeswd.bsky.social•9 days ago

It depends what Spurs want, I guess. If winning B tier trophies is all it takes, then keep Ange…

vincerugari.com•9 days ago

And that’s where the similarities end. There’s a world of context beyond that which makes them quite different and therefore that the idea of sticking with Ange is a mistake, because it was with ETH, does not hold any water. Not with me anyway.

Well it all depends on next seasons performance

Be funny if Spurs have already made commitments to a replacement.

He was brought in to win silverware, and to get them playing Champions League. Mission accomplished on both fronts, even if not the way expected. Be interested to know if there are any fans still wanting him gone.

Game was boring though

fluidsguru.bsky.social•10 days ago

Surely Spurs would sack him now, because that's what Spurs do?

robsonofsancho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Great piece Vince! Been reading Angeball gradually over the past couple months (ever since I got to see my first Spurs match in person back in March) and can’t tell you how great I thought it was and the belief it gave me. Finished it earlier this week just in time for the final. Thanks for it all!

A great read 👍

The man deserves time to make the team successful without the pressure of years of agony...

benbloodworth.bsky.social•10 days ago

Fascinating that the adaptation of his approach and styles appear to mimic somewhat that of the Poch, Jose and Conte timeline plus a lil sprinkling of Nuno and could be seen as a vindication of Levy’s aims over that period. Ange isn’t just a serial winner, he’s now a legend of global football 🐓🏆

traolach17.bsky.social•9 days ago

Just wanted to say thank you Vince. There have been precious few voices in the Spurs-sphere to have stuck by Ange to the end, you led the charge.
Hopefully more will join the bandwagon now.
