🎙️| Ange Postecoglou on the possibility of players being attracted to join #Tottenham if they secure Champions League football:
"I don’t want those players. Because they don’t want to come to Tottenham… they want to go to a Champions League club. I signed Micky van de Ven this year — he’s not a bad player is he? And we were in the Champions League? No.
I don’t want those players. That’s a beautiful discussion for me to have. That’s one of the discussions I have: Why do you want to come to Tottenham? Because if you want Champions League football and that’s all you want, you don’t want to come to Tottenham; you just want to go to a Champions League club.
I want people to come to Tottenham who know this club, know the challenge we’ve got — and we do have a challenge, we’re different to other clubs in that we haven’t had success for a while — so I’m looking for a certain type of character. One that’s going to say: 'You know what, they’re not in the Champions League but if I win something with them, that could mean something for my career and to me. So I’m up for that fight'.
That’s part of the discussion. I don't think that makes a difference to me in terms of the players. We’ve had two windows so far and I haven’t had an issue bringing the players I want to this club even though we’re not in the Champions League."
🎙️| Ange Postecoglou on a supercomputer saying #Spurs have a less than 0.1% chance of winning the title this season:
"A supercomputer! Does it go to a phone booth and change into something else from just a normal computer? What did it say, 0.1%? So we've got a chance then! Let’s go for it. No problems, no issues with that, we’ve got a chance."

Well said, Ange 🫡.
The fawning from the club’s media and higher ups on ‘oooh we play good football’ or internal employees/directors suggesting “we’ve got our Tottenham back” because we press the football has been a embarrassing at times.
It’s always been about more than that.
