As Tottenham Hotspur continue to work on securing a potential replacement for Ange Postecoglou, a new report has suggested that there are some concerns internally at the club regarding the leading candidates to take over the hot seat.
Over the last couple of days, we have seen some reports suggesting that Daniel Levy has already decided to sack Ange Postecoglou, even though the decision has not been officially confirmed.
This news has sparked outrage from some on social media, including former player Ramon Vega accusing the Tottenham board of disrespecting Postecoglou after he delivered the club’s first trophy in 17 years.
It has been claimed that Spurs have held talks with candidates to replace Postecoglou, but there are thought to be some concerns about the names that the Lilywhites are now after.
Tottenham have a managerial decision to make
This update comes from The Times, who back up what we have heard from other sources by revealing that the names at the top of Tottenham’s wishlist are ones with Premier League experience.
Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Fulham’s Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola have allegedly been discussed as “possible successors” internally at Tottenham.
However, it is said that concerns have been raised as a result of the trio’s “lack of pedigree and experience” at the highest level.

That might be a particular issue for the North London club, given that they are set to embark on a Champions League adventure this season having booked their return to European football’s most prestigious club competition following their Europa League final win against Manchester United in Bilbao last month.
Alasdair Gold reveals Tottenham’s concerns about sacking Postecoglou
This report comes just a couple of days after Alasdair Gold claimed that Spurs fear a backlash from supporters if they sack Postecoglou.
He explained that there are also concerns about how the decision will be perceived by the media, particularly given the reputation that the club have of not prioritising silverware.
Finally, Gold also added that it may be difficult for Tottenham to sell the appointment of Frank or Silva to the club’s fan base.
