Spurs hit the highest of highs on Wednesday as they won the Europa League, while they hit a new low on Sunday as they signed off their league campaign with a 4-1 defeat to Brighton, finishing 17th in the table.
Ange Postecoglou was set for the sack prior to winning the Europa League, but now, things don’t appear to be all that clear.
Micah Richards thinks Postecoglou will stay, while others still reckon he’s set for the sack.
Speaking on 606, Chris Sutton has been discussing the idea of Daniel Levy getting rid of the manager at this point, and he believes it would be foolish for Spurs to sack Postecoglou now.
Chris Sutton says it would be foolish to sack Ange Postecoglou
Sutton shared his verdict on Postecoglou’s situation at Spurs.
The pundit reckons it would be foolish for Tottenham to sack Ange Postecoglou at this point, going as far as to claim that Spurs let Postecoglou down last summer.
“It would be foolish for Big Ange to be let go by Spurs. Ange should stay. Daniel Levy needs to back Ange,” Sutton said.
“Last summer, Rob, I don’t know how close you follow Tottenham. They bought young. They were going for development players.
“Tottenham need players who were further down the line in their careers. I don’t know what you think, but I thought they sort of let Ange down last summer with the recruitment.”
Tottenham signings under Ange Postecoglou
Sutton says Tottenham have let Ange Postecoglou down in the transfer market, but it’s very hard to agree with that point of view.
Indeed, Spurs have spent a massive amount of money since hiring Postecoglou as their manager, including a club record signing of Dominic Solanke.
Spurs have spent close to £400m in two years since hiring Postecoglou, and it’s hard to have sympathy for the manager in this regard.
Postecoglou has been unlucky as injuries have defined Tottenham’s season at times, but a 17th-place finish is, quite simply, unacceptable.
Daniel Levy has a very difficult decision to make with Postecoglou, there’s no doubt about that, but sacking the manager isn’t as unreasonable as Sutton is making out here.
