Ange Postecoglou verdict reached as four Tottenham manager replacements put forward

Just when Ange Postecoglou must have thought things couldn't get any worse, along came Sunday. The 2-1 home defeat to a previously hopeless Leicester saw Spurs hit a new nadir under their Australian boss, and they now sit a lowly 15th in the Premier League after 13 defeats this season.
Pressure is continuing to mount on the former Celtic manager, and while he looks to be safe in his job for now - with many Spurs fans venting their anger at Daniel Levy and the club's board - there does look to be fewer and fewer places left to turn for him.
So what should happen now? Will Spurs pull the plug on the problem-hit Postecoglou? And if they do, who should they target to replace him? We asked the Mirror Football team for their views:. We've been here before, haven't we? Tottenham in freefall, protests against Daniel Levy, a manager looking worn out. Sadly, I think the same outcome is inevitable.
I really want to like Ange Postecoglou but his rudeness with the media and stubbornness on the pitch isn't doing him or his club any good. Okay, maybe Spurs have lacked that sort of character in recent years, but without the very best players - like at Celtic - his style of football isn't going to work in the long term.
Teams have figured Tottenham out and unless Postecoglou is willing to compromise (unlikely) it's only going one way. The question is, who would you bring in? Kieran McKenna would be my pick, someone who has an emotional connection to Spurs and has done himself no harm with Ipswich's performances this season.
