Postecoglou told to quit Tottenham if certain decision made v Ipswich Town
Ange Postecoglou has been told he should leave Tottenham if a certain selection decision is taken against Ipswich Town.
Tottenham take on Ipswich at Portman Road on Saturday (22 February) aiming to make it three Premier League wins in a row.
While Spurs have managed to turn things around in the league, recent quickfire exits from both domestic cups increased the sack pressure on Postecoglou.
And a loss to lowly Ipswich this weekend would once again have Postecoglou right in the spotlight as we approach the end of February.

Ange Postecoglou faces Djed Spence selection call v Ipswich Town
Djed Spence has been a revelation for Tottenham since being brought into the side, making a mockery of the managers who clearly did not see the talent in him.
The full-back was Man of the Match in last weekend’s win against Manchester United and should be given the nod against Ipswich this weekend.
And in the view of pundit Abbi Summers, speaking on talkSPORT’s The Inside Spurs show [20 February], dropping Spence would be a sackable offence from Postecoglou.
“I’ll put it out there – I’ve always been Ange in, never wavered from it, but if he drops Djed Spence then I’m ‘Ange Out’,” Summers said. “I’ll be off my island. That is the warning. Keep him in the starting XI.”
Tottenham record v Ipswich Town
For anyone expecting an easy game at Portman Road, the history books – admittedly going way back – suggest otherwise.
Ipswich have won their past four Premier League games against Spurs, while the Lilywhites have won just one of their last six away league games against Ipswich, picking up a 3-1 victory in August 1994.
Tottenham lost the reverse fixture against Ipswich 2-1 in November, meanwhile, and the Tractor Boys could become the first promoted side to do the double over Spurs since Wolves in 2009-10.
Postecoglou will be hoping for a far better outcome this time around, and all eyes will be on the team sheet at Portman Road when it comes to one pundit in particular.
