One man who has been disrespected far too much in recent times is former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.
The English media enjoyed verbally taking Postecoglou apart during his stint at Tottenham Hotspur, and some even mocked his achievements at Celtic.
One man who has constantly backed Postecoglou in the English press is Celtic’s legendary striker Chris Sutton.
And after Thomas Frank’s Tottenham were beaten again, this time at home to Fulham on Saturday evening, Sutton made sure to send those critics a reminder.

Given the struggles Frank is now going through at Spurs, failing to win eight of his 13 Premier League matches, Sutton stated that his predecessor, Postecoglou, should ‘never have been sacked.’
Remember, Postecoglou had to deal with a mountain of injury issues last season, yet he still helped Spurs win the Europa League – their first major trophy in nearly 20 years and first European honour since the 1980s.
‘Spurs should never have sacked Postecoglou…’ wrote Sutton on social media.

There is always this perception that, just because Postecoglou won trophies at Celtic, it was a gimme and undervalued by those down south.
But as the Treble-winning hero made it clear time and time again during his many entertaining press conferences, he delivers silverware, and he produced that for a pretty ungrateful Spurs.
Nonetheless, with Frank having managed 21 games in all competitions so far, this is how his record looks compared to Ange’s first 21 matches, and remember, he had just lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
