‘Ange Postecoglou to be sacked within 48 hours’ with Tottenham plans in place
Tottenham may be set to part ways with Ange Postecoglou as early as Sunday.
17th in the Premier League and a Europa League trophy: two things you would never expect to see in the same sentence, though that is exactly what Tottenham achieved this season.
Spurs ended their 17-year wait for a major trophy with a 1-0 victory over Man United in Bilbao, with their final day 4-1 defeat to Brighton cementing their worst ever Premier League finish.
That mixture of success and failure has cast some serious shadows of doubt over the future of Postecoglou, but Tottenham may be about to pull the trigger.
Tottenham have no time to waste this summer
If Tottenham are to improve on their Premier League season next time out, the summer transfer window is going to play a huge role in their ability to do that, and with the window opening this Sunday (1 June), Spurs have a decision to make.
Tottenham need to recruit well, but the uncertainty over the future of Postecoglou will undoubtedly deter potential targets from making the move to North London, and given the fact that they will already have plans in place on a recruitment front, they won’t want to waste any time at all.

If Daniel Levy pulls the trigger now, that uncertainty vanishes immediately, though the time to appoint a replacement will also need to be considered.
Oliver Glasner is one of several names to have been linked with the job, but it is evident that Spurs need to move quickly if they are to move on from Postecoglou.
Levy needs to pull the trigger on Postecoglou
If Tottenham sack Postecoglou, there will be very few complaints. But if they keep him, it would take a remarkable job for him to win back the trust of the majority of supporters.
A few bad results and sack rumours would surface again, and given the impact they had on Tottenham’s recent campaign, they will want to avoid that scenario.
These next few weeks are going to be crucial for Spurs, and they must be ruthless in their decision-making.
