Postecoglou sack: Major Tottenham claim made live on air – ‘He’s gone’
Ange Postecoglou is clinging on to his job at Tottenham by the smallest of threads.
The Australian has endured constant speculation surrounding his future after a dismal season in North London which has seen Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League and eliminated from both domestic cups.
The Lilywhites’ only chance of success is the Europa League and even that might not enough to save his place in the dugout beyond the end of the season.
Postecoglou could still be sacked if Tottenham win Europa League
Daniel Levy could sack Postecoglou even if he ends Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought and guides them to the Europa League crown.
It would be harsh but the atmosphere surrounding the North London club is toxic and Alan Brazil feels that it could doom the Australian.
Speaking on talkSPORT (10 April, 6:38am), he said: “I want him to do well, I really do, I think he is bang up against it and he is desperate for a bit of success to cling on to.
“Whatever happens, I think he is gone anyway, even if Spurs get through tonight.”
Gabby Agbonlahor replied: “Do you think so? What if they win it [the Europa League], Al?”
Brazil responded, saying: “I still think he is gone, it’s all over.”
Tottenham would be silly to sack Postecoglou if he succeeds
If Postecoglou wins the first trophy for the Lilywhites since the League Cup in 2008, surely he has to stick around in North London.
Winning a trophy would completely change the mood around the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and lift a dismal campaign into a very positive one and opinions on Postecoglou may be a lot brighter.
| Premier League | Played | GD | Points |
| 13. Man United | 31 | -4 | 38 |
| 14. Tottenham | 31 | +13 | 37 |
| 15. Everton | 31 | -5 | 35 |
Surely it would also take the pressure off of the former Celtic man and his job security would be untouchable if he brought success back to N17 for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Postecoglou has had to deal with a ridiculous injury crisis this season, albeit his tactical stubbornness and intense training methods have exacerbated the situation and it would only be fair to give him another crack next season if he wins a trophy in his second season in charge.
Levy would be stupid to fire a manager who won Spurs a trophy but you never know with him at the helm.
He very well could decide to go in a new direction and deny the Australian the chance to build on it, especially when a new manager would not be guaranteed to replicate it.
