‘We’ve heard’: Journalist shares how the majority of Spurs players now feel about Ange Postecoglou, there’s a split

Tottenham Hotspur are Europa League champions, and while the celebrations from that triumph are still ongoing, behind the scenes, Tottenham are in a strange situation.

Indeed, Ange Postecoglou was set for the sack heading into this summer, but after winning the Europa League, it’s increasingly more difficult for Daniel Levy to justify sacking the manager.

However, Spurs do still sit 17^th in the Premier League and there’s clearly something not quite right at the moment.

Speaking on The Tottenham Way Podcast, Tom Allnutt has been discussing Ange Postecoglou’s future at Spurs, and he’s shared an interesting insight into how the Spurs squad now feel about their manager.

How Tottenham’s squad feel about Ange Postecoglou

According to Allnutt, there is a split in the Tottenham squad on Ange Postecoglou.

The journalist says there are three or four players who are very much behind the manager, while three or four other players are in the opposite camp.

However, the majority of the squad are somewhere in the middle, not completely behind the manager, but not entirely against him either.

“I think that is revising history. Like, the way we have seen some players play in the last few months, well, to be honest, we’ve heard and we know, I think there are, you know, some players in the squad who had checked out with Ange, and he had checked out with them. Yes, players will say things, of course, because they get asked questions,” Allnutt said.

“And I think, I have no doubt, there are three or four players who are very strong on Ange. There are probably three or four at the other end of the spectrum. There are quite a lot of other ones in the middle.”

Managers who were sacked after winning trophies

Ange Postecoglou has just delivered Tottenham their first trophy in 17 years, and it does feel harsh to sack the Australian at this point.

However, other managers have been in similar situations in the past only to lose their jobs, despite better performance in the league as well.

Simply put, finishing 17^th in the table as Tottenham is unacceptable, and while it would be a difficult decision to make, Daniel Levy would be totally justified if he decided this was the end of the road for Postecoglou at Spurs.

The Tottenham squad are still split on their manager by the sounds of things, and that’s not a great footing heading into next season.

It may be time for Tottenham to reset and go forward under a new manager in a fresh direction.

Andoni Iraola has been linked to Tottenham, and perhaps he’d be a better option.
