For anyone clamoring for Ange Postecoglou’s resignation amidst bad results, it’s crucial to recognize the wider situation at Tottenham Hotspur. Sacking a manager because of squad depth concerns is a good way to deflect focus from the real issue at the top. Instead of dealing with the club’s fundamental problems, chairman Daniel Levy has continuously turned to management changes as a band-aid solution.
Ange Postecoglou has given Spurs a sense of direction that has been missing for years by introducing a distinct and recognizable style of play. However, he requires the right support in terms of team depth and talent in order to carry out his vision. His long-term project should not be dismissed because of a few unfavorable outcomes. The main barrier is not the manager’s skill or strategy, but rather the club’s failure to invest in the players who fit his system.
Ange’s performance is not the only problem here; the club’s ownership has also failed to supply the tools and assistance required for long-term success. When things do not work out, Levy has a track record of sacking managers without ever fully supporting them in the transfer market. Managers end up being used as scapegoats for more serious structural flaws as a result of this vicious cycle.
Spurs supporters should vent their frustration at the board instead than the manager. Ange needs patience to realize her vision, but that can only happen if Levy makes a commitment to genuine support during the transfer window. The club will keep having problems until then. Being a manager or Spurs supporter, correct?
