Tottenham ‘must sack Postecoglou now’ after new Premier League reveal
Ange Postecoglou’s future remains up in the air at Tottenham.
The Australian led Spurs to a first trophy in 17 years when his side beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao (21 May).
However, he also presided over the worst Premier League campaign in their history, as they finished in 17th place, with their lowest ever points total.
Daniel Levy faces a tough decision but his task may have been made easier by a new reveal.
Tottenham predicted to finish eighth next season
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium outfit are expected to have a much improved campaign next season after essentially giving up on the league this time around once it became clear that European glory was achievable.
The latest odds from Bet Victor (27 May) give Spurs the eighth-best chance of winning the league, which suggets that is where they will finish next time around.
The Lilywhites are 66/1 to win the competition, which is not bad on the surface but is ultimately not good enough for a team of their stature.
Postecoglou must go after latest Tottenham reveal
If the North London outfit finish eighth next season, it would be progress from the disasterous campaign that the 59-year-old led last time.
However, it would leave Spurs outside of the Champions League places and they cannot afford to miss out on the benefits that they receive from the competition.
The revenue boost that they will get from qualifying for Europe’s elite tournament this season will be game-changing but it will mean very little if they fail to secure another berth next season.
The N17 outfit should be aiming to win the biggest honours and it does not seem like are fancied to be competiting at that level in the new campaign under Postecoglou.
Levy has no choice but to fire the ex-Celtic man after the latest reveal if he wants the Europa League winners to push on and achieve more success in the near future.
It may seem harsh but they cannot afford to miss out on a potential opportunity to improve their future just because the beleagured manager won a second-rate European trophy.
