Ange Speaks Out After Spurs Cut Ties
ANGE Postecoglou broke his silence just moments after being shown the door. In a heartfelt statement, he said:
"During my time at Tottenham Hotspur, my enduring sentiment was one of pride. The opportunity to lead one of England's historical football clubs was a lifetime dream.
"Experiencing the passion and devotion from fans, also sharing the highs and lows with them, will live forever in my heart.
"Winning the UEFA Europa League represented the culmination of hard work, devotion, and unwavering faith in a cherished goal. There were numerous obstacles that arose, along with plenty of noise from those doubting our efforts.
"Yet, we did it. We built a foundation that should make the long wait for Spurs' next success less unlikely.
"I hold enormous respect for the club's supporters, who stood by me even in difficult moments, providing the necessary motivation.
"I'd also like to acknowledge the hardworking employees at Spurs who supported me daily. Lastly, I want to express gratitude to those on my team of talented, young players and exceptional coaches who never doubted our ability to achieve something remarkable. 'To Dare is To Do,' indeed."

You spoke frankly, passionately, with every fiber of your being, speaking like a true enthusiast, saturated with heart-on-sleeve emotion and the gritty obstinacy that comes with it.
Much like a battle-hardened warrior, expressing "Are you not entertained?" we were, time after time, even in Spurs' inevitable defeats.
Your prioritization of the UEFA Europa League over the Premier League stirred the core question every Tottenham Hotspur manager should ask. What is the essence of Tottenham Hotspur?
For an entire generation, Spurs was England's sixth-richest team, and since the Newcastle's Geordie Arabia revolution, they've risen to seventh place.
Such wealth makes it highly unlikely that Spurs will capture the Premier League title anytime soon. The peak of their realistic ambitions lies in winning cup competitions and providing continued enjoyment for the fans who support them.
It is essential to acknowledge that last season, Spurs experienced a substantial number of defeats in the league, finishing in 17th place. If the enjoyment quotient often fell short, then it was simply a temporary setback, as you had always aimed for the stars.
Ange Postecoglou's passion for football extended beyond the Premier League, as he prioritized winning the UEFA Europa League over a high league finish. His advocacy for a return to the glory days of Tottenham Hotspur, along with his candid views on controversial topics like VAR, showcased his deep understanding and love for the European leagues, especially football in England.
