Ange Postecolgou: Tottenham manager’s relationship with fans
Postecoglou inherited a team built by four managers in four years as the club struggled for stability following Pochettino’s sacking in 2019.
Harry Kane’s contract was running down and the striker was expected to leave, eventually joining Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to £100m.
No alternative was signed and his deputy Richarlison suffered an injury hit season.
Despite the signing of Dominic Solanke for £65m this summer, Spurs have been significantly outspent by rivals such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City on transfers over a 10-year period, according to a recent CIES Football Observatory report.
BBC Radio 5 Live pundit Chris Sutton – who admired Postecoglou’s work at his former club Celtic – said: “Postecoglou has been in for just over a season – so to think he took them from eighth to fifth is an improvement, while selling Harry Kane.
“We are [only] four games in and some of the nonsense I have heard after the game has been ridiculous.”
Postecoglou is focused on what he believes is right – whether it is popular with sections of the supporters or not.
His direct and open communication is refreshing but his single-minded belief frustrates some supporters, who wonder if he lacks the ability to change when his ideas are not working.
Yet, there has to be some appreciation that Postecoglou is a manager making decisions that are designed to be of long-term benefit, including making eight changes in the Carabao Cup to give minutes to the wider squad and young players despite risking defeat at Coventry.

Ring announcer Kody ‘Big Mo’ Mommaerts: “It’s a great fight. It will be tough for both of them but I have to give AJ the edge based on experience in big fights. He’s only been in big fights for the past few years and Dubois is just stepping into that zone.”
Former lightweight world champion Anthony Crolla: “I cannot wait for this. It’s a real fascinating fight. Dubois has come on so much in recent times, in terms of how he has boxing and mentally.
“I think it could be a shoot out where Joshua will land a little too often early on and it’s over inside six. But if Dubois does not take much punishment in the first four rounds and he’s still there, there is a great chance he could get AJ late on.”
Super-flyweight Shannon Ryan: “Joshua will knock him out in round seven and it will be done in spectacular fashion.”
Middleweight Chris Eubank Jr: “Joshua is going to be too experienced, too strong and his boxing IQ will be too high for Dubois. It is a cliche but there are levels to the game and Joshua is just a few too many levels above Dubois.”
Former undisputed light-welterweight champion Josh Taylor: “I’ve been in the GB squad with the two of them. Dubois used to give Joshua nightmares in sparring and hurt him a couple of times.
“I’ve seen him give him Joshua the wobbly legs. So it’s a very, very interesting fight. Me personally, I’m kind of edging just towards Joshua, but if anyone’s going to be able to put him over, I think Dubois can do it because he can seriously punch. He’s a devastating puncher.”
Australia: T. Wright, Kellaway, Ikitau, Paisami, Koroibete, Lolesio, White, Bell, Faessler, Tupou, Frost, Williams, Valetini, McReight, Wilson.
Replacements: Paenga-Amosa, Slipper, Alaalatoa, Salakaia-Loto, Gleeson, McDermott, Lynagh, Pietsch.
New Zealand: Jordan, Reece, Ioane, J. Barrett, Clarke, McKenzie, Ratima, de Groot, Taylor, Lomax, S. Barrett, Vaa’i, Sititi, Cane, Savea.
Replacements: Aumua, Williams, Tosi, Darry, Jacobson, Perenara, Liernert-Brown, Plummer.
