Good news for all #AngeIn supporters — David Ornstein, considered the gold standard for Premier League news and transfer reports, was just on NBC Sports’ broadcast coverage giving an update on Tottenham Hotspur, where he said that embattled head coach Ange Postecoglou is “100% safe in his job.”
The video is posted in the header of this article, and it’s worth a full watch. There’s a good amount of info about Tottenham’s transfer business, including today’s signing of keeper Antonin Kinsky and what it means for the goalkeeper situation at Spurs. If you want to skip past the transfter stuff and just get to the stuff about Ange, move forward to 2:19” in the video. Here’s a transcript from that point:
“Ange Postecoglou is 100% safe in his job, I’m told. There is no uncertainty over his future, despite the pressure he appears to be feeling in some of his public comments. They’re backing him to lead this project forward and they’ll hope he delivers.
“They have a chance of a League Cup trophy and a Europa League trophy. They’re focusing on that, and they’re also fighting to get into the top four, although realistic about their chances on that too.”
Good. This is quite clearly the club briefing that Ange is is no danger of being sacked anytime soon and that Spurs are taking a long view towards rejuvenation and development of the squad in the upcoming transfer windows. There’s no better source to brief on this than Ornstein, who has a gravitas that makes a statement like “100% safe in his job” settle with a real weight of authority.
