Ange Postecoglou has the chance to save his career at Tottenham by winning the Europa League Tottenham Hotspur are not having a season to remember under Ange Postecoglou. The Lilywhites have struggles to get results when it has mattered the most. With the club, sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League, the North London club now have next to no chance of securing European qualification through the league spots.
However, there is still a chance that the season ends on a high for the Spurs faithful. Ange’s men are in the quarterfinals of the Europa League quarter-finals and face Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the tie tonight at home. A positive result could go a long way in securing a semi-final berth and Ange Postecoglou will also live to fight another day at the helm.
Big Ange has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. The 59-year-old cupped his ears towards the Tottenham fans during the Chelsea game, which did not go well with the supporters and he was faced with jeers afterwards. This just shows the toxic environment at the club and it felt like an unnecessary thing to do towards his own supporters.
Paul Merson wants Tottenham to back Ange Postecoglou There is only one way that Tottenham can still save their season. The Lilywhites are still competing in the Europa League, and Ange Postecoglou’s future depends on how the team performs in this competition. With the league campaign already a write-off, fans will hope that the players can do everything they can to go all the way in the competition and win a long-awaited silverware.
Paul Merson believes that Tottenham should stick by Ange Postecoglou if the Aussie manages to win the Europa League this season. Speaking on Sky Sports News, the renowned pundit said (as transcribed by Tottenham Hotspur News ), “It’d be a joke if he isn’t [still at Tottenham if they win it]. A disgrace.
If he wins the trophy and they sack him, that’d be an absolute joke. They’ve got a short memory, Tottenham fans. They haven’t won anything in a long time.
He’d have won a trophy and taken them into the Champions League.” Merson believes that the main criteria for Spurs this season was to achieve Champions League qualification, and Ange Postecoglou would achieve that and win a major trophy as well by winning the Europa League. However, the Englishman also believes that winning a trophy will still not be enough to get all the supporters back on board.
With the club involved in all sorts of trouble in recent weeks, Ange Postecoglou will hope to end the season on a high and give fans a lifetime memory of winning a major trophy after a 17-year long wait. This article first appeared on To The Lane And Back and was syndicated with permission..
