Daniel Levy Sets New Test for Ange Postecoglou to Keep His Job at Tottenham – Fans Convinced He Won’t Pass It
Tottenham Hotspur are once again at a crossroads, and the pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou following a disappointing league campaign and mounting fan frustration. According to sources close to the club, chairman Daniel Levy has set a clear challenge for the Australian boss: deliver results — or risk the sack.
But with Spurs currently languishing in 15th place in the Premier League and having just suffered a damaging 4-2 defeat to Wolves at Molineux, fans are skeptical that Postecoglou will survive the storm.
Levy’s Demands Amid a Crisis
Despite early season optimism under Postecoglou, the club’s domestic form has nosedived. Reports suggest Daniel Levy has laid down strict conditions: Tottenham must either win the UEFA Europa League or make a dramatic surge up the table to salvage European qualification via league position — a task that now looks increasingly improbable.
The chairman’s expectations are understandable for a club of Spurs’ stature, but many fans and pundits argue that such pressure is unrealistic given the team’s inconsistency, squad issues, and recent performances.
Europa League: A Last Lifeline
Tottenham’s only hope for silverware — and Postecoglou’s possible job salvation — may lie in Europe. The Lilywhites are currently in the Europa League quarter-finals, having drawn 1-1 in the first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt away in Germany. The return leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is this Thursday, and it is shaping up to be the most crucial match of the season so far.
Should Spurs crash out, the pressure on Postecoglou may reach an unbearable level. A win could offer a brief reprieve — but anything less will only inflame the growing discontent.
Fan Fury Reaches Boiling Point
Yesterday’s chaotic 4-2 defeat at Wolves has further alienated fans, many of whom are beginning to turn on both the players and the manager. Defensive errors, lack of urgency, and an apparent tactical confusion have left supporters fuming.
“There’s no fight, no structure. Ange looks lost and the players look like they don’t care,” said one Spurs fan outside Molineux. Social media has been awash with criticism, with “#PostecoglouOut” starting to trend post-match.
The defeat marked Tottenham’s third in four league games, leaving them perilously close to the relegation zone. What began as a project built on high energy and attacking principles now seems to be crumbling under the weight of poor results and mounting pressure.
A Dressing Room Divided?
While some players are said to remain loyal to Postecoglou’s vision, cracks are appearing behind the scenes. Whispers of discontent from senior members of the squad have emerged, with frustrations over tactical inflexibility and lack of rotation growing louder.
With morale low and belief fading, the upcoming Europa League clash could define not only Tottenham’s season but also Postecoglou’s future in North London.
The Verdict: Make or Break
Tottenham’s season is teetering on the edge. Daniel Levy’s ultimatum places Postecoglou in the hottest of hot seats, with little margin for error. Unless he can guide Spurs past Frankfurt and go on to lift the Europa League trophy, or somehow orchestrate a stunning domestic turnaround, his time in charge could be coming to an abrupt end.
And if recent performances are anything to go by, fans aren’t holding their breath.
