The crazy situation unfolding at Tottenham as Daniel Levy prepares major Ange Postecoglou statement

Tottenham Hotspur have won a trophy for the first time in 17 years and you would think everything would be rosy in the garden in N17.

But that Europa League title win does not tell anywhere close to the whole story. Spurs finished just one place above the Premier League relegation zone in the 2024/25 season after a horrendous domestic campaign beset by injury problems.

There was pressure on head coach Ange Postecoglou's shoulders for most of the season, with questions over whether he would last the season in the Tottenham hotseat asked almost daily in the second half of the campaign.

It felt like everything was resting on the club's fate in the Europa League final. But, here we are, more than a week after that incredible night in Bilbao and closing in on a week after the Premier League season ended and we do not know what the future holds for Postecoglou or Spurs.

Postecoglou delivered on his promise to win a trophy in his second season at the club. He delivered the trophy the supporters have been craving for years and with it the Champions League football chairman Daniel Levy demanded.

But there is no getting away from the fact that in the Premier League, Spurs fell woefully short. And that is why we are still asking questions about the Australian's future in north London.

Postecoglou went on holiday straight after the season ended, meaning we are no closer to finding out whether he will be sacked or if he will remain in the post. There is unlikely to be any news this week, football.london understands .

And that, in itself, is a crazy situation in which to find ourselves.

Manchester United endured a similarly dismal season, made worse by losing in that Europa League final to Spurs, but as far as we know, we are not waiting on an announcement to come as to whether Ruben Amorim will remain as the Red Devils head coach.

West Ham finished 14th, yet there is no confusion over whether or not Graham Potter will remain in his job. Ruud van Nistelrooy looks set to be sacked by Leicester, following their relegation to the Championship, but at least he and we know where we stand with that.

Spurs, and Postecoglou in particular, are in limbo.

It is a crazy situation whereby everyone is waiting with bated breath to find out if Postecoglou will stay or if he will go. But what if the club just decided to do nothing - and say nothing?

It is not beyond the realms of possibility for that to happen. There may well not be a decision, nor a statement, to make. Postecoglou still has two years left to run on his current contract and we could all be sitting here, waiting for news to drop that never comes.
