Why Ange Postecoglou hasn’t been sacked by Tottenham – from player power to trophy boast and Daniel Levy relationship

WHEN the anti-Daniel Levy noise cranks up, it usually leads to change at Tottenham. The change that fans are demanding right now is in the boardroom — but usually that ends up coming in the dugout.

That is despite Spurs slumping to 15th and being in danger of getting sucked into a relegation battle. Although the Aussie reacted snappily to a fan accusing him of just that as he walked down the tunnel after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester.

As well as the chants, banners were unfurled in the stands which included one saying: “24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy . . . TIME FOR CHANGE.”. The question is, why is Levy sticking by Postecoglou right now?. It is baffling the football world and is multi-faceted in its answer.

First of all, the dismissals Levy has presided over — and there have been 12 permanent ones during his near-quarter of a century at the helm — have normally been preceded by a relationship breakdown between himself and the manager. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS.
