Ange Postecoglou sack: John Cross issues Tottenham stance for next season
John Cross does not see Ange Postecoglou being in charge of Tottenham next season.
The Australian is in real danger of the sack at Spurs after performances all season and the dismal 2-1 defeat against Leicester on 26 January.
However, it’s understood that Daniel Levy has no immediate plans to part ways with the Australian.
Cross wrote in the Mirror on 27 January: “Here’s why I don’t think Tottenham will stick with Ange Postecoglou – even though I think they should. That banner: 24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy, Time For Change. It’s a damning indictment of Daniel Levy’s reign at the club. It’s downright embarrassing.
“Levy is getting it in the neck from supporters at every game – and that’s why I think he will act and make a change. It’s just a question of when. Now, after they go out of the cups, the summer. He will be gone.
“Who should they get? Well, everyone’s dream ticket is the Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola. But would he risk his growing reputation? Brentford’s Thomas Frank is another one. But here’s why they need to stick. Injuries, a lack of new signings and they are still in the FA Cup, have a 1-0 lead over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final and are still in the Europa League.
“I also remember a director crowing two summers ago about how Postecoglou was not only the best candidate for the job, but he was their only candidate. So why change?
“I can’t see Postecoglou being in charge next season. But more fans want rid of the chairman, not the manager. Comically, Tottenham were voted best run football club by Fair Game Index last August. Nice stadium, shame about the trophies. That’s not the best survey.”
Tottenham need a change at the helm with both Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou departing
The lack of progress at Spurs has been evident that the blame lies with Levy and his running of the club even in terms of transfer activity.
It’s clear that he’s unable to be a capable leader who can guide the team through rocky times and someone better needs to come in to run the operations.
With regards to Postecoglou, he managed to get his methods across quickly but his stubbornness has seen his side struggle.
The players do not appear to be playing for him and the morale seems to be the lowest it’s been since he took over.
The only thing keeping him in a job right now is the fact that they could make it to the EFL Cup final.
However, Levy notoriously sacked Jose Mourinho before a cup final so it remains to be seen whether or not he does the same with Postecoglou.
