Ange Postecoglou on the brink as Tottenham fans unveil blistering three-word banner after Leicester City shambles
Ange Postecoglou looks to be running out of road at Spurs, with fans venting their fury after a fourth straight Premier League defeat.
The Celtic hero watched his side fall to defeat against struggling Leicester City, leaving them just eight points clear of the relegation zone after a horror run of just one win in 10 Premier League games. Despite Richarlison's first-half opener, Ruud van Nistelrooy's struggling Foxes turned the game around thanks to quickfire second-half strikes from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannous - leaving Spurs mired 15th in the table and having dropped 20 points from winning positions this season.
Throughout the game fans aimed their fury at Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, with regular chants of 'we want Levy out' throughout the second-half. But their patience with Postecoglou also appears to be running out, and the full-time was met with a loud chorus of boos. Pundit Rob Green, speaking on BBC Radio5Live, said the Aussie had ran out of ideas, commenting: "They've run out of ideas, they have no answer to Leicester just sitting in and wanting to defend. Spurs can't come up with an answer. They came up with so little after going behind.
"Leicester caught them napping, they were so sloppy and they didn't start in the second-half. Nobody gave Leicester a prayer today. A win today would've changed the rhetoric. But the performance hasn't changed that at all, it was a quiet performance from players who looked beaten. I don't think he's managed what he has, and the adaptability isn't there. Their belief has gone. I don't think he's got the abiklity to change." As the players made their way from the pitch a banner reading 'Time for Change' was produced from the home end, aimed at Levy.
And fuming fans were also quick to call for Levy's head on social media; one posted: "Levy’s legacy will be a stadium full of people demanding he leaves." Another commented: "Sacking Ange won’t make a difference, the real disease is Levy. Get him out of our club," whilst a third said: "Calls for Ange’s head will once again get louder. I STILL don’t think he will or should get sacked. Mitigating circumstances are ridiculously obvious. We know who’s ultimately responsible for this and it’s NOT the coach. I’m not letting Levy off the hook that easy."
