Ange Postecoglou expected to be privy to Tottenham Hotspur review next summer
Calling Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024–25 season “disappointing” might actually be an understatement. The North London club currently languish in 14th place in the Premier League and have already been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions. Sunday’s 3-1 win over Southampton marked their first league victory since mid-February, which followed a 4-1 thrashing of fellow strugglers Ipswich Town.
As expected, manager Ange Postecoglou has faced a multitude of challenges this season, with injuries to key players disrupting any momentum the team might have built. The lack of consistency has left Spurs well below expectations. Speaking to EPL Index, former Tottenham defender Graham Roberts weighed in on Postecoglou’s future at the club, adding further intrigue to what promises to be a crucial summer at N17.
Graham Roberts acknowledged Tottenham’s underwhelming campaign, admitting that their current league position is far below where a club of their stature should be. He emphasized the importance of finishing the season strongly and highlighted how injuries, particularly to key players like goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and both central defenders, have significantly disrupted Spurs’ rhythm and impacted their style of play.
Despite the domestic struggles, Roberts remains optimistic. He pointed out that Tottenham still have a shot at silverware and a potential route back to the UEFA Champions League through the Europa League. He suggested that if Postecoglou can field a fully fit starting XI, Spurs have a genuine chance to mount a serious push in Europe, starting with this week’s crucial knockout fixture.
Can Spurs win silverware?
It’s true that Ange Postecoglou’s second season at Tottenham has been marred by persistent injury setbacks, but critics argue that the challenges run deeper. Some skeptics point to Postecoglou’s tactical stubbornness and his apparent lack of a viable plan B as contributing factors to the club’s poor form.
Despite these concerns, Roberts maintains faith in the Australian’s long-term vision. He believes Postecoglou can still take the club forward, but admits that growing frustration among the fanbase is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
The Former Spurs player speaking to EPL Index, believes Big Ange’s season will be reviewed
“I imagine the board will now review both the season and Postecoglou’s future once the season wraps up. While there are mitigating factors to consider, somebody will decide on the next steps for the club. The growing frustration among fans is a genuine worry.”
“Let’s see what happens this week in the Europa League because Spurs are now in a position where, with a full eleven, can give it a real go,”

With a near fully fit squad finally available, Spurs have a realistic opportunity to push for silverware and end a turbulent season on a high. A strong showing in Europe could not only restore belief among fans but also secure Postecoglou’s position heading into a pivotal summer.
