Postecoglou ‘could be sacked by Tottenham on Sunday’ as Tamworth await
Ange Postecoglou could face the sack at Tottenham after the upcoming clash against Tamworth.
Spurs travel to face the National League side on Sunday (12 January) in a potential banana-skin FA Cup tie.
It won’t be as simple as turning up and taking an easy win at the Lamb Ground given the physical nature of Andy Peaks’ side and the artificial playing surface.
The Lilywhites will have to put in a strong performance to take a win but are still expected to progress to the fourth round against a side four divisions below them.
If a positive result isn’t taken, where could Postecoglou’s future lie?
Ange Postecoglou could face Tottenham sack after Tamworth clash
The Australian head coach has come under fire in recent weeks in North London with results leaving fans frustrated at different points this campaign.
A win against Liverpool in the League Cup has helped curb this pressure but could all come crashing down against the Lambs.
If Spurs don’t fall to a famous defeat or fail to win convincingly in the West Midlands, it could be curtains for the former Celtic boss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Regardless of all the positive traits as head coach in N17, there may be no recovery from the negativity that an FA Cup giant-killing would have on his reputation in the capital.
There is already a negative atmosphere surrounding the Lilywhites of being unable to win a trophy and that attitude and ridicule will only increase in the event of a defeat against Tamworth.
Postecoglou needs a win. A convincing win.
If not his job could be in serious jeopardy and Daniel Levy could be on the lookout for potential alternatives.
