The cough sounds like a nervous thing to me, not disease!

Doesn't seem to cough before games and generally after. I'm sure it's a mix of weather and shouting

He also constantly looks downwards when talking in interviews rather than at the camera or interviewer which may be a sign of nervous habit. It's a strange one because he's one of the best and most articulate speakers I've heard in the game and always has something insightful to say. And he's not afraid to bite back if someone tries stirring it or trumping him so it's not like he's a bag of nerves or anything.

I hope so (in terms of it not being a health issue) but as Grays said it seems way worse after games.
I think I've probably said it before but it just seems like he needs to properly hack it out and clear his throat but rightly doesn't want to because of the microphones / people around so instead is always on the verge of spluttering. Obviously I'm not moaning about it but it just seems super uncomfortable for the guy...

Dunno if anyone cares but a few weeks ago I posted my thoughts on the cough/tic thing from observing him over the years: https://www.glory-glory.co.uk/commu...-is-to-didgeridoo.11677/page-106#post-1750621

Poor old Moose.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
This guy .. every Spurs manager in the Pl era would shy from the are we competing question, he not only makes the statement, he makes the media feel like they can't question him ..

This from Ange sums up everything for me, we are moving in right direction, its 6 months so lets be realistic and lets continue to build

This is spot on from Ange, and a lot in here would benefit from reading this and get some perspective on transfers and squad.
"With all the players, I look at it the same way. As much as I’m steering this ship, they also have their own. I speak to players about this all the time. It’s their careers and they have to do what they feel is right as well.”
”From my perspective, I need a strong squad. Maybe this year without being in Europe and obviously being out of the cups, the games now are limited to between now and the end of the year.”
”But if we want to get to where we want to, then I compare us to the other clubs that we want to try and challenge.”
”They’ve got big squads. They’ve got some pretty good players not starting. I look at it every week when they make substitutions. That’s where we’ve got to get to.”
”Whether that’s Bryan or Pierre who maybe feel they should be playing more, if they made a decision that 'I need to go somewhere else to play', I’m going to replace them with somebody who is going to be a good enough player to play in the Premier League but maybe won’t start, because you need that.”
”Pierre has played the last two games. I think he’s probably played just about every game this year. He hasn't started a lot, obviously.”
”Bryan had a couple of injury problems early in the year and probably hasn’t played as much as he would want to, which I understand, but ultimately I’ve got to try to build a squad here that’s going to challenge.”
”That’s only going to happen if I’ve got 20, 22, 23 players who are all of Premier League standard.”
”That will mean if it’s not Bryan and Pierre, it’s two other players who will come in and maybe aren’t playing as much, but that doesn’t mean I don’t rate them or don’t think they’re up to the standard, it’s just you need a squad. We’ve seen it more than anyone with injuries we’ve had."

I interpret all of that to mean hes not actually happy with the squad composition as it is and he feels it needs additions which will take time before its truly to level where truly we can challenge the top teams.This is spot on from Ange, and a lot in here would benefit from reading this and get some perspective on transfers and squad.
All very sensible and logical and at odds with those fans who think we need just 1 or 2 players in the summer. Ange does not see it that way and rightly so.

Terry Naylor
1 or 2 may be what he means (I think it’s more like 3 or 4)
But the key is he is saying we aren’t where he wants us yet which is just sensible
Bishop
Frederic Kanoute
He mentions having a squad of 22 players ready to come and perform and also alludes to the size and quality of the squads of Liverpool and Emirates Marketing Project. Neither are just 3 or 4 players ahead of us.
Bedfordspurs
Terry Naylor
Again it’s opinions
Ange will have his
Pools best player today was a kid at right back. Whose to say we don’t have a few of those to supplement the ones we already have playing every week
Bishop
Frederic Kanoute
If we do then that will go towards creating the type of squad needed. The important part is the manager himself thinks the squad of quality players isn't big enough and I don't understand why some fans are trying to fight that. Are the emotional connections to some of the players that strong?
Bedfordspurs
Terry Naylor
I don’t think there are any attachments to anyone except maybe some of the newer ones
We know we will lose players like Hojberg, Lo Celso and sess this summer .. Gil too I hope
I can’t see us shifting players we have just brought though
So we will need to replace the ones above with players more suited. That’s normal
Me may well wanna replace some of them with youth players and also add to what we are keeping with additional depth
That’s all Anges call now
