Humpty-Ange sat on the wall, Humpty-Ange had a terrific fall…
Humpty-Ange sat on a wall
Humpty-Ange had a terrific fall
All of the Levy’s yes-men and all of the supporters
Couldn’t put Humpty-Ange collectively once more
Humpty-Ange sat on the bottom
Humpty-Ange regarded throughout
Gone had been the cheers, gone had been the followers
All he may see had been failures and mishandlings
Poor outdated Humpty-Ange
Humpty-Ange counted to 10
Humpty-Ange constructed up once more… however then it had all gone, and Levy sacked him and moved on to a different failure. And we begin over again!
I’ve been saying that we shouldn’t blame Humpty-Ange and that we must always look greater as much as level the finger at, however after the Fulham sport, I lastly misplaced endurance with him and his picks. Sure, the finger can and ought to be pointed greater up… however that doesn’t change Ange being out of his depth.
When Levy was on the lookout for a brand new supervisor after his fifteenth sacking, or regardless of the quantity was, I believed Ange wasn’t the best match for Tottenham on the time. He wasn’t excessive up on Levy’s listing both. However, after our glorious begin to his first season, I began to mellow in direction of him. However now, after the poor choice for the Fulham sport and everyone round me telling me that I used to be flawed, I lastly succumbed.
We’ve had so many false dawns this season.
After the Metropolis house defeat, we travelled to Alkmaar to face AZ, solely to be humiliated. It was our objective that gave them victory. After that, we confronted Bournemouth, who outplayed us till we managed to struggle again and equalise.
The AZ Alkmaar Europa sport appeared a hurdle to climb as throughout us crumbled… however we managed to return again from the useless and beat them 3-2 on combination… shortly again within the Premier League, we took on Fulham and poor Ange choice noticed us defeated… and his excuse… no, it wasn’t the grass this time, however… one thing about attempting out different gamers or giving them an opportunity earlier than the break. He ought to have picked his strongest facet… in all probability the facet that beat AZ as a substitute of mucking round with positions and who ought to be within the facet or not.
With the worldwide break developing, the group definitely didn’t want resting…
I really feel… the followers really feel that Ange is out of his depth. I’m going to all of the away and residential video games, and I’ve seen that over the past season, the assist for him is beginning to dim. There are shouts of Levy out and shouts of Ange out. Followers are turning towards followers… due to Ange and his no plan B, his erratic picks and so on.
He has managed in Asia and Scotland… the place the leagues are nowhere as intense or have such wide-ranging group strengths, and so on. as they do in England.
After all, nothing might be determined till after our Europa conquest has ended. Within the meantime, I see us dropping to Chelsea… in all probability profitable towards Southampton. Then the massive one towards Frankfurt, adopted by Wolves away after which the Europa decider to know if we will go to the semi-finals. Will Humpty-Ange get a lifeline, or will Levy throw him to the lions if we’re knocked out of our final Cup competitors of the season?
We’ve had 24 years of Levy rule, 16 managers, and one trophy. For a membership our dimension, this can be a very poor return. Granted, he has lavished a brand new stadium upon us with circus clown acts entertaining the lots… however for soccer, he has a stingy method as if the soccer facet is his least necessary showcase, an irrelevance to his different money-making acts.
“We would like Levy out! We would like Levy out!” chant the followers whereas Levy sits as a Roman Emperor surveying all about him earlier than deciding whether or not to place his thumb up or down to find out a killing or not and passing the buck away from him.
Julius Caesar’s well-known quote: “I got here, I noticed, I fucked up the place soccer is worried (paraphrasing).” It may have been written for Daniel Levy…
If Levy ought to sack Ange, we’ll undergo the cycle over again. There may be speak of Bournemouth supervisor Andoni Iraola as a attainable substitute… as a result of he’s low-cost and might do wonders with so little… proper up Daniel’s Road.
To paraphrase the dying scene of Julius Caesar in Keep it up Cleo…
Tottenham Supporters: I’m sorry Caesar Levy however for the nice of Rome, it’s essential to go!
Julius Caesar-Levy: However my kingdom… I don’t wish to go… I is probably not an excellent soccer emperor/ director, however I’d be a worse one gone! [laughter!]
Treachery! Infamy! Infamy! They’ve all obtained it in for me.
Tottenham Hotspur does sound a bit like a Carry-on movie gone flawed… hilarious to the outsider however humiliating to the loyal and actual supporters of our nice membership.
Up the Spurs!
