Not sure that Spurs and Ange are the best fit

Who is then? Bigger name EPL coaches than Ange haven't done much better with Spurs and this is just Ange's first season and with that comes alot of change and challenges - this takes time to get through. Judge him on his second season.

Ange has brought in some good players and without that horror mid season injury toll they would have finished Top 4.
5th is still a very good result.

Unless Pep is available Ange is who they need IMO - Spurs have won very little in the last 50 years so they may as well go with a more unique, outsider and aggressive coach such as Ange. What they have tried before hasn't worked anyway and while the fans are complaining about having defensive issues and getting done on the counter they also complained about the boring conservative style of play under coaches like Marino.

He would be if the club and fans let him. Spurs have such a small club loser mentality and he’s trying his damnest to change it, like Conte tried and failed.

Yea Ange is a winner, doubt they are beating City regardless but he wants the club and fans behind him 100% every game, not cheering for the opposition + he is an aussie, that's not really our go attitude and culture wise.

Frankly it's remarkable they finished in the Top 5 (thanks largely to an excellent start to the season where they didn't drop a game for the first few months) in Ange's first season considering the state the club and squad was in + Kane going to Bayern

Conte called out Spurs lack of success and alluded to them being resistant, he seemed to just not understand how they are despite his efforts to bring them success

He has done a good job to get them to 5th all things considered however next season the pressure will ramp up and he needs to sign heavily in the market to strengthen their squad, especially with Europa league on the horizon and more games. If they don’t then I fear it will end badly for him and spurs next season

Hard to see Chelsea, Newcastle and Utd all having as poor seasons they did this year

City and Arsenal won’t go anywhere
Liverpool jury is out next season but squad is still strong and I’m sure money will be spent to back new manager
Villa could drop off with CL football but surely they invest in the market

De Zerbi gone from Brighton at the end of the season, I think he’s heading to Bayern Munich.

If I’m Brighton, I’d be looking at Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna, fits their profile perfectly.

Yeah he’d be a very logical option for them as well. INEOS love him though so he might be hanging out for Ten Hag to get sacked to take the United job. Not who’d I’d want, he’s a far better fit for a budget club like Brighton.
