Levy faces crucial decision as Tottenham fans lose faith in Ange Postecoglou

The mood surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham is beginning to shift. GiveMeSport reports that those within the club who once firmly backed him to finish the season are now showing signs of hesitation. Following yet another defeat, quiet doubts have started to replace what was once unwavering confidence.

Frustration boiled over in the away end when Ange Postecoglou replaced Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert in the 64th minute with Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson. The travelling supporters of Tottenham Hotspur immediately began chanting, “You don’t know what you’re doing.” Soon after, Sarr appeared to have given the team a lifeline, as he rifled in a brilliant effort that appeared to be the equalizer. But the joy was brief, as VAR disallowed the goal for a foul in the build-up. That setback increased the tension, and it seemed that earlier chants from the fans still lingered in Postecoglou’s mind.

Big Ange’s reaction was deemed very unnecessary

As the tension rose, Postecoglou turned back towards the away section and cupped his ear… his action became the memorable snapshot of the evening. While he later claimed he was urging the supporters to cheer, not many interpreted it that way as it obviously comes across as Big Ange trying to agitate the fans, a moment which failed horribly.

A disconnect had already begun to form between the manager and the fanbase, and now chairman Daniel Levy must seriously reflect on that moment.

Tottenham’s upcoming Europa League quarter-final first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt now feels like a final stand.. not just for their season, but possibly for Ange Postecoglou’s future as well. While many expected him to stay at the helm until Spurs’ last chance at silverware was gone, that certainty is beginning to waver. For the first time, some close to the club are no longer so sure he’ll even make it to the dugout.
