“When the pressure comes on them…” – Former scout makes Postecoglou sack claim as Levy comes under scrutiny

published :

Tottenham are interested in signing Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen.

The pressure has been mounting on Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou given how his side is enduring a difficult season in the English top tier, and their recent defeat against Leicester City at home has got the majority of the Lilywhites faithful to lose faith in the Australian head coach’s ability to drive the club forward.

The loss against the Foxes was Spurs 13th of this season’s Premier League campaign, and now all odds are stacked against them to even finish in the top half of the table given their current 15th position in the English top tier, which is just above the relegation zone, and they could slip to 16th if Everton wins their game in hand. You could sense a feeling of annoyance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend at full time as a section of supporters called for Postecoglou to be sacked.

Levy under pressure, probable Postecoglou sack a release…?

3 things Daniel Levy must do to win back the Tottenham faithful.
Daniel Levy is not the most popular man at N17 right now and that could put Postecoglou job under scrutiny.

Postecoglou faces the wrath of a sack with every passing game, and Lilywhites former scout Mick Brown, Daniel Levy, will be forced to sack the Australian head coach with growing pressure from the supporters. This comes after a majority of fans at the game last weekend sang against the manager and the club chairman.

He goes on to explain that as soon as pressure starts to grow on his position, Levy gets rid of whoever is in charge of the first team and will consider doing so again.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Football Insider, Brown said:

“It’s mapping out at Tottenham as it often has done over the years. The manager of the time needs players, it gets to a point where the chairman is accused of keeping his hands in his pockets, he starts getting pressure from the fans, and he sacks the manager.

“He’s sacked 15 managers during his time there. It’s ‘watch this space’ at Tottenham at the moment. They’ve been down this road before.

“Chairmen, particularly Daniel Levy, don’t like pressure from the fans so they react and make a decision. That’s not my opinion, it’s a fact, it’s history. When the pressure comes on them, they don’t handle it well. So anything that happens at Tottenham will not surprise me.”

It is to be seen how it goes from here, but Levy has stood behind Postecoglou all the while with the pressure continuing to soar, but will the club chairman continue to do so? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
