Ange is losing his cool down in the Mickey Mouse League. Looks like Villa will now get 4th with Tottenham missing out on Champions League Football. Ange has a problem tho, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, and Villa sitting above them, No chance Newcastle, Man Utd, and Chelsea will have another season like they've had. I think he will be gone by the end of next season.
Also a Belgian and a Greek club in the semi-finals of European competition, take note Celtic! We probs have a bigger budget than both Club Brugge and Olympiakos!
{Ed001's Note - you have nowhere near the budget of Olympiakos and their owner, who in no way ships heroin on his ships as he didn't know about those containers and no one can say he did. Well apart from the 12 witnesses that mysteriously vanished after a completely innocent and unconnected burning of a bakery owned by one. Olympiakos have his other club Nottm Forest buying players for them when they are hamstrung by FFP. So they have a large budget, and none of it for buying off officials I am sure, because their owner is such a good guy.}

Ange did the same at Celtic when players played the ball back.
Ange accepts that players make mistakes but he does not accept playing the ball back.
Not sure I would say he is losing it, he is just letting the players know that he will not accept them not following his instructions.

Surely weejoe, the time to correct the players playing the ball backwards is on the training pitch or in the dressing room before the match . Showing your temper during the match like Ange did last night, is just showing “a bit of look at me, what I have to put up with and publicly blaming players. ”He did very well at Celtic holding back on tantrums and coaching and guiding his players to success . That’s Ange’s strength, , I hope he doesn’t destroy his reputation by coming across as an angry old man.

His tactical style and philosophy gave me and others a lot of enjoyment while he was at Celtic and I think our supporters have always craved attacking football with flair and players on the front-foot. Although I'm not that interested in what's happening at Tottenham, I would really prefer us to be less side to side and back like I have seen in too many games this season, considering we still have the nucleus of last season's squad. Maybe there's still time?

I think Ange has maybe underestimated the difficulty in managing players on the money these guys are and the fees they think they're worth and the drama it can cause. He had a great start but Villa have been ordinary this last half of the season as well but they can grind out results and get points on the board, for Spurs it seems a bit more hit and miss whether the game pans out the way they want. I don't see them taking control as much as we know Ange wants.
When people play for us, they play for the badge, the fans, we have an identity as a club and how we want to play. We have a team, a squad of winners who know how to do it. Spurs don't have anyone really who you can say is as passionate about spurs as say calmac, JF, Ralston, Hart are about playing for Celtic, with the closest being Son.

If only we had a manager just now, who would lose his cool at the team passing back.
