Tottenham suffered yet another embarrassing defeat on Thursday evening.
Indeed, Spurs lost 4-0 to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, and there’s now a real risk of their silverware drought extending to another year.
On top of the disappointment in the cup, Tottenham also sit 14th in the Premier League table.
Ange Postecoglou’s position has been questioned as of late, and Tottenham have been linked to some potential Postecoglou replacements.
Edin Terzic was linked to Tottenham last month, while Matt Wells could become Spurs’ interim manager if Postecoglou does go.
So, is Postecoglou close to getting the sack? According to Fabrizio Romano, writing in his newsletter for GiveMeSport, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Indeed, Romano says that the situation regarding Postecoglou at Spurs remains under control, even if results on the pitch are getting out of control.
Ange Postecoglou situation is under control
Romano shared what he knows about Postecoglou’s position.
While many Tottenham managers have been sacked in similar, or even better positions, Romano says he’s not hearing anything to suggest Postecoglou will be gone soon.
Indeed, according to the journalist, the Tottenham manager’s position is said to be under control.
“I don’t have any messages on his potential sacking or surprises. The situation remains under control at the moment,” Romano wrote.
Tottenham fixtures analysed
Postecoglou is safe at Tottenham for now, but surely this can’t go on forever.
Indeed, Spurs are closer to a relegation battle than they are to Champions League qualification, and their upcoming games don’t make for easy reading either.
Aston Villa in the FA Cup could spell the end of Spurs’ silverware chances this season, and that is swiftly followed up by a game against Manchester United – which, regardless of their current position, is never easy.
Ipswich Town have already beaten Tottenham this season, so a trip to Portman Road won’t be easy, while Manchester City can still hammer any team on their day.
Bournemouth have been brilliant this season too, so that will be another tough ask, while Fulham have taken points off of the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs already this season.
Postecoglou’s job is safe for now, but if this run of fixtures doesn’t go his way, Daniel Levy may have no choice but to make a change in the dugout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
