Tottenham make decision on sacking Ange Postecoglou after Nottingham Forest loss

Spurs have been in dismal form as of late with calls for Postecoglou to be sacked getting louder.

Tottenham are reportedly content with Ange Postecoglou as manager but will pull the trigger if results continue to spiral.

Spurs slumped to their fourth defeat in seven matches against Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day, meaning the capital club are now 11 points adrift of the top four.

It’s the ninth match in 12 outings across all competitions Spurs have failed to win, with the pressure continuing to mount on Postecoglou’s shoulders.

But according to The Times, the Tottenham hierarchy aren’t actively looking to sack the Australian coach and would rather keep him in charge.

However, it is suggested that Spurs will have no qualms in sacking the ex-Celtic chief if their on-pitch results don’t improve sharpish.

Postecoglou has admitted he isn’t willing to renegade on his principles in order to achieve those results though, claiming he will look like a ‘genius’ if it eventually pays off.

Speaking over the festive period, the 59-year-old stated: “There’s always people in life [who are] looked at a bit curiously because they do things a bit differently and they’re a bit of a joke until they get it right, then all of a sudden they’re a genius. That’s probably relevant to us right now.

“The first thing you look at as a manager is, are the players still responding to this, are they looking to an alternative out there? I haven’t sensed that at all.

“It’s very easy to, because it’s human nature to think we need to do something different or we’re obviously undermanned, let’s change something.

“The players still want to tackle this the way that we are tackling it. But it’s up to me to guide them through that and show them all these things are temporary.
