‘There is XENOPHOBIA towards Ange Postecoglu at Tottenham!’ | Football Podcast

Are UK football fans xenophobic towards Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglu because he’s Australian? The Whisper It Loudly panel discusses whether non-European managers are held to a higher standard by fans.

[@vsls85]

Spurs fans that dont like "an Australian coach" can support another club. Spurs are doing exactly what it says on the tin. Daring to do.

[@TooDarnSoulful]

Spurs fans can do what they like, end of story.

[@EmmGee-pele77]

Postecoglou saying he wants to be competing for championship equates to team thus being capable of winning trophies as a by play. It is all inter related.

[@cxv6367]

He is correct, Tottenham is more interesting ... not always in a good way

[@Taecoconut]

Great talking points

One of the best football podcasts. Please keep going

[@user-sl4dk2vl7i]

I’m confused. Is there a second half of this pod coming? What’s the deal? Why split it up?

[@WhisperItLoudlyPodcast]

Hi, it’s out this morning.

[@Pariscat18]

Great conversation!

[@cxv6367]

Great podcast guys .... not full of waffle like a lot of others ...

[@DiamondDave492]

I'm just happy Spurs stayed up after all the negativity at the start of the season 😂

[@DanielKings10]

Brilliant podcast!!

[@joshconroy8268]

Not a single fan said at the start of the season champions league minimum. Nowhere near that at the start?! If anything people were putting us to finish bottom half at the start of the season after losing Kane!

[@TooDarnSoulful]

Agreed this is total waffle !

Vander Ven is a speed merchant. The boy is going to blow one of his calf one of these days and we will retire this argument. Kulesevki over Baily is mad.

Postecoglou is at the wrong club, if he was at Utd he wouldn't get flak. He takes no BS with the media like Fergie, limited tactically like Fergie... McClaren and Quieroz was the tactical brains behind Ferguson as a Utd fan. But Ange just attacks and has a go, which most Utd want. He's charismatic but Spurs always like to have a whinge. I wouldn't want Ange at Man Utd, but trust me the majority of Utd would take him

[@KydzPlays]

Yep, okay hater. Still some people wallowing in misery because Ferguson ruined their childhoods lol. Pathetic.

[@jaynepoland4615]

BS

[@privatedale8558]

Talking about xenophobia when they have 0 diversity sat on those sofas. Disgraceful hypocrisy

[@hughwoozencroft9835]

Do you know what xenophobia means?

[@privatedale8558]

​​@@hughwoozencroft9835 ​ xenophobia is the fear or dislike of something foreign, strange or alien. That's quite a large leap to say there is fear or dislike applied to a manager because he is from australia, when there has been wide spread fan acceptance of him from the start and lots of media praise. Failing to have a representative diverse panel on the show could actually be perceived as more xenophobic as the action to not choose diversity is more apparent and a direct conscious decision being made.

Non-european managers aren't as easily welcomed. Because they're not proven. I take you back to "Arsene who ?" - Arsene who says Ian Wright. Respect is earned not given, so earn it. Why are you expecting people to respect and support something that is unproven ? Thierry Henry says the exact same thing, go watch his video about how US players are viewed in Europe with Clint Dempsey and Charlie Davies.

[@TooDarnSoulful]

Wise up boys - we won the first 8 from 10 and decent managers tacitally sussed out how to beat our system, that is it, the results tell the story. Ange told the press that some players and some STAFF are not bought into his system. WTF is xenophobia coming from - says who 3 black men ? I have not see one comment on where Ange is from on you tube ! Grow up boys !

[@Taecoconut]

Spurs supporters in the Uk and “locals” have slagged off overseas fans and been racist towards us saying “you’re not real fans” and we “don’t know football cos you’re not from the Uk” - so yeah… I and OS fans have had to hear from Spurs fans in the Uk that we aren’t entitled to be fans or aren’t “real fans”. - so yeah we’ve been dealing with racism and elitism within the fan base of the club and borderline xenophobia

[@TooDarnSoulful]

@@Taecoconut Woke has arrived, WTF 😆

[@jeanjacqueslundi3502]

Is this for real? Do people actually think xenophobia is the word here? And that Ange is being treated unfairly? I'm scared of people who use the word xenophobia so non-chalantly. I'm not even british.

[@Taecoconut]

You’re talking about a fan base who have been slagging overseas supporters of spurs for not being “real fans” and that we don’t “understand football” because we’re not British - so no, the word is not used in vain.

[@jeanjacqueslundi3502]

@@Taecoconut Oh, that's a Spurs thing? Gimme a break. All clubs do that.

[@Taecoconut]

@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 you have more pushback from spurs around it all because of the “Koreans” as they like to say -

[@usernameheda]

you all like navy blue innit

What a load of rubbish 30 minutes wasted 😮😅

Spurs fans are the worst! Who was talking about TH going to get CL spot as a minimum beginning of the season? NO ONE!!! Harry K just left the team 1 day before season started. Their main man. He inherited the squad. It's not his squad. He says he takes full responsibility of their rogress but he is changing the whole culture of the team. And this talk that if TH had not lost against fulham they could have won the League Cup. Seriously? They havent won anything for 15,000 years. so they were NEVER going to win something this year - and probably next year. They just need to find 3-4 Ngolo Kante type players - who can run forever and have a football brain - but they need to spend more money. Sure Ange is great in scouting unknown talent but no one in that team has won any silverware - except Romero. Let the man do his job. Spurs fans should learn to shut their trap, stop talking rubbish like they know anything what bringing cultural change is about and support their team.
