Ange Postecoglou admitted Tottenham were as low as they have been during his time in charge and that he did not know if he would be given the time to salvage the season. A crushing home defeat by relegation-threatened Leicester extended a dismal run of form for his depleted Spurs team to just five points from their last 11 games in the Premier League.
They are 15th, but alive in three cups with key players back soon from injuries. He insisted the campaign could still be transformed into a success and that the players were behind him. But when asked if he expected to be given time to turn it around, Posteocglou said: 'Who knows, I reckon there is probably a fair chunk that will say no.
'When you are the manager of a football club you can be very vulnerable and isolated. I don’t feel that. I feel like this group of players, not for me, are giving everything for the club. I have a group of staff that is really committed. I focus on that.
'I can even see in training when the guys coming back are going to give everybody a lift. There is a fantastic opportunity this season to really make an impact, and I know we can. But in terms of the question, is there anything I can say about that that is going to change anything that I need to do tomorrow morning? Nothing.'.
