Tottenham fans love what Postecoglou just did after ‘Disgraceful’ developments
Ange Postecoglou has had his ups and downs with Tottenham supporters over the last few months, but a recent development suggests there is still love for him left.
Postecoglou has come under pressure to deliver Tottenham their first major European trophy in decades after a difficult season.
Tottenham are coming off their worst-ever Premier League season under Postecoglou and will be looking to end the season on a high when they face Manchester United in the Europa League final at the Estadio de Sam Mamés on Wednesday (21 May).
While Postecoglou will be looking to redeem himself in the eyes of the Tottenham board, a recent development suggests that supporters are still rallying in his corner.

Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham is uncertain, even if he lifts the Europa League this season, with Daniel Levy already drawing up a list of candidates to replace him.
Naturally, the 59-year-old has not been pleased with the large focus on his future, which was made abundantly clear during a final press conference before the all-important clash.

Responding to a journalist during the conference in a clip posted on X by Hayters TV (20 May), Postecoglou said: “I’ll tell you one thing, irrespective of tomorrow, I’m not a clown and I never will be mate.
“It’s really disappointing that we would use such terminology about a person who, for 26 years, has gone without any favours from anyone and worked his way to being in the position where he’s leading a club in a European major competition.”
Spurs supporters flocked to the defence of their manager, many of whom were offended on his behalf.
Postecoglou must win against United
There is no question about whether Postecoglou must triumph against Manchester United for the supporters who have been starved of a trophy for several years.
In fact, his future, which currently hangs in the balance, could be decided by the outcome of Wednesday’s clash, and a win could persuade Levy to continue with Postecoglou for at least another season.
While a lot for the current Tottenham coach to handle, there is a saying that diamonds are formed under pressure, and a victory in the Europa League final could see the biggest one shine yet.
