There have been plenty of Tottenham fans calling for Daniel Levy's head after a disastrous Premier League campaign so far, but a former Tottenham CEO puts the blame squarely on Postecoglou

Antonio Conte predicted Spurs could find themselves in a battle to stay up - and the previously unthinkable is now a possibility

The pressure is rising on Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham suffered their 12th defeat of the season at Everton; Spurs have lost 24 out of their last 50 games - winning just nine league games in nine months;

Those who have worked with or for Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy all agree on one thing. In previous years, head coach Ange Postecoglou would have been long gone.

Sacking Postecoglou would probably mean Levy turning to another temporary solution (two-time interim boss Ryan Mason is on the coaching staff), which history suggests would leave the club in stasis until a new permanent coach and another brand new project could begin in earnest.

Sacking Ange Postecoglou would give Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy 'an even greater problem' this month, according to reports.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has said that it remains a possibility that there are no further signings at the club this month. Spurs completed the transfer of 21-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinksy from Slavia Prague on January 5 but have not made any more additions to the squad since then.

The debate over whether Postecoglou is the right man for the job continues to divide opinion in N17. While he seems well-positioned to unlock the team’s potential, a more practical approach may be necessary for Tottenham to start delivering consistent results.

Ange Postecoglou must do without another four Tottenham players for their Europa League clash against Hoffenheim on Thursday evening
