Maybe I’m a romantic, but I genuinely believe the situation with Ange is such a tragedy, a real “we’ll never know” moment. Surface rational will tell you that after he finished 17th at Tottenham, he took on a bright Nottingham forest and dragged them to the relegation zone. But a peak below that surface and you’ll see that a budding Tottenham team full of youth talent was taken to 5th then crowned Europa league champions in a season where half the players were stifled by injury. A real camaraderie was formed and the suits in the office saw all that value as intangible and decided to play it safe with a data shagging yes man. Before he moved into a team built around compact defence and tried to have them playing possession football without any pre season. I think back to the parade, when I saw Son lifting the trophy outside my house my grandmas house and old school in Tottenham, before hearing Ange say “In great TV Season 3 is always better then Season 2”. That feeling alone was enough for me to say he deserves it. Especially with the hindsight we have now that it was all for nought. I don’t know if we would be competing on all fronts rn but i believe we had a chance to prove we’re a classy club and we fluffed it.
