| When you sack a winner for telling hard truths… you’re not a club with a winning mentality. You’re a club scared of one. |
Tottenham Hotspur have just sacked a serial winner for fans who fear winning… and players who came for glory may now head for the exit.
Tottenham Hotspur didn’t just sack a manager.
They sacked a movement.
They sacked a mentality shift.
They sacked a rebuild grounded in accountability, culture, and courage.
And it came on the same day I published Reddit Experiment #4: The Missing Factor.
You couldn’t make it up.
I Warned You — Twice
This isn’t hindsight.
I warned you.
In ‘The Club Responds to Your Abuse’, I wrote:
“The toxic element of our fanbase has made Ange Postecoglou’s position untenable.”
And before that, in ‘Two Paths, One Mentality’, I said it even more directly:
“Daniel Levy isn’t making Ange Postecoglou’s position rather untenable…
You are. And those like you.”
I haven’t changed my tune.
The truth hasn’t changed either.
The problem is the same — it’s a section of the fanbase, the toxic element with a losing mentality.
The ones who cave under pressure.
Who lash out when they don’t get their instant dopamine.
Who want shiny stats over dirty silver.
And now they’ve got what they wanted.
But look what it’s cost.
Postecoglou Was the Plan
Ange wasn’t a stop-gap.
He wasn’t Conte. He wasn’t Mourinho.
He was a man with a long-term vision.
He didn’t come in demanding £500k/week players…
He came to recode Tottenham Hotspur’s DNA.
We were finally learning to take risks, own results, and back youth.
The tactical system? Risky. The attitude? Brave.
But here’s the thing…
Courage doesn’t always show up in league position right away.
It shows up in foundations. Mentality. Buy-in.
And the players were buying in.
Serial Winners Don’t Wait Forever
They just won the UEFA Europa League.
They tasted glory.
And now… they’re watching the man who led them there get kicked out the door.
What happens to the core of this squad now?
🧱 Cristian Romero – World Cup winner. Europa League winner. Bought into the project and gave everything. Now left wondering: “I fought for this… and they threw him out?”
🧠 Pedro Porro – A player transformed under Ange. Sharp, disciplined, dangerous. Finally became a winner — and now watches the club dive back into uncertainty.
⚡️ Dejan Kulusevski – Stayed loyal. Chose this project over easier exits. Lifted silverware with Ange… only to see the architect discarded.
🔥 Heung-min Son – Europa League-winning captain. A player who led the rebuild with dignity. But if winning doesn’t buy trust — what does?
They didn’t just win a trophy.
They proved they had the mentality.
And now?
The club’s just told them mentality doesn’t matter here.
Process doesn’t matter.
Even winning… doesn’t guarantee backing.
We didn’t just lose a manager.
We’ve put the dressing room in doubt — again.
The Fanbase Chose Top 4 Over Trophies
Sean Butler from The Spurs Talk Show said it plainly on Sky Sports — and I paraphrase:
“There’s a section of the fanbase that care more about finishing 4th than actually winning a trophy.”
Think about that.
Ange Postecoglou just delivered the UEFA Europa League.
Our first European trophy in over 40 years.
History. Silverware. A winning culture.
But because we finished 17th in the league —
They wanted him gone.
Even though he made Spurs winners,
They preferred status.
They didn’t care that he fulfilled his promise.
They didn’t care that the club finally lifted a major trophy.
They couldn’t handle finishing below Brentford.
We mocked Arsenal for their obsession with the “Top 4 Trophy.”
Now a chunk of this fanbase has proven they’d rather not win a real trophy
…as long as they can finish 6th and smile at the table.
Ange gave them glory.
They gave him grief.
The Most Comical Part?
It’s comical.
Really comical.
The same toxic element who screamed “Levy Out”…
Then begged him to sack the manager they claimed was “out of his depth”…
…have now decided they’re the ones with a winning mentality.
They think they’re winners.
Because they sacked one.
Let that sink in.
Ange kept his promise.
He told us what he’d build. He was building it.
The fans?
They broke theirs.
The very people who derailed him are now claiming moral victory.
That’s not mentality.
That’s delusion.
The real winners left the room the moment they did.
So… What Now?
We’ll probably hire someone who’s won nothing.
Promise another “fresh start.”
Say the word “project” again, like we haven’t burned three already.
Meanwhile…
-
Romero’s agent gets calls from Madrid.
-
Porro starts wondering if that buy-back clause at Sporting was such a bad idea.
-
Son smiles for photos… but inside? Exhausted.
-
Kulusevski sees another era die before it started.
Rebuild #10?
Another manager.
Another vision.
Another contradiction.
Let me say it again:
Tottenham Hotspur just sacked a man who was fixing the missing factor…
Because the people in charge either don’t understand what winning takes —
Or worse…
They do.
But they’re scared of what it costs.
THBN The Final Word
Spurs fans didn’t just lose a coach.
They lost belief in a better Tottenham Hotspur.
We told the footballing world something devastating today:
“We will not back a man building a trophy-winning team… even if he’s done it everywhere else he’s ever been.”
But if that’s the rule?
Then Tottenham Hotspur will never be where trophies begin.
We’ll only ever be where winners pass through.
The missing factor wasn’t just mentality.
It was nerve.
And this club —
just lost ours.

The Toxic Element Taking Us Backwards
If Tottenham Don’t Win Trophies After This, It Was the Wrong Decision – the toxic element are trying to prevent going forward, their actions are actually taking the c,lub backwards in the name of progress
