It’s becoming increasingly clear that Anj Postkoglu has taken over Spurs and somehow – impressively, really – made them more Tottenham than ever before.
Historically Tottenham are an interesting team, it has had some really good days and some blindingly bad days, but if you are one of the clubs that seriously try, it’s never really going to be right. You pose no real long-term threat. Do things right.
Angeball has been great this season; Old Trafford won 3-0 At the heart of the game was an almost cartoonishly unconvincing but undeniably true five-game winning streak that ended with The most ridiculous defensive collapse imaginable, turning a 2-0 half-time lead into a shameful 3-2 defeat at BrightonOne Spurs fan was then delighted to be left fretting over the international break.
Upon their return, Spurs defeated West Ham United and suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace. A visit from Dr Tottenham is urgently needed. Then beat Aston Villa and lose to Ipswich because of course they lost. The only really surprising thing is Tottenham beat Manchester City In fact, despite their best efforts, they failed to lose at home to Fulham and then away to Bournemouth, And then another ridiculous and very, very stupid defensive collapse at home against Chelsea. Did we say that was a pretty stupid defensive breakdown? How about conceding three goals in half? everton?
“Ange out” talk is growing and It will only get louder and louder. Plus, Spurs are always ready for wild, shocking changes in direction, and it’s not hard to see how a desire for something less ridiculous might prevail. less ridiculous Liverpool lost 6-3 at homeMaybe.
So who are the potential contenders for the Premier League’s most toxic holy grail? According to the latest odds, these poor sods.
10=) Brendan Rodgers
This link comes up so frequently that we almost think it might have happened. Definitely not jumping ship from Celtic again in the middle of the season.
10=) Xavi Hernandez
After announcing in January last year that he would leave Barcelona in the summer, Xavi made a U-turn and expressed his intention to stay in April. Then in May he was fired. There was nothing to suggest he would make a good Tottenham Hotspur manager, but here he is.
10=) Michael Carrick
Get to know the club. But that was a long time ago. Good performance at Middlesbrough but Tottenham Hotspur picking a manager from the Championship as they make a run for the Championship is tricky.
10=) Eddie Howe
Newcastle’s recent dramatic progress may have undermined that, which is a bit of a shame because until recent weeks it was entirely conceivable that two foolish clubs would make the decision to cancel at the same time after a shaky start to the season, and as such, Howe You’ll jump right back into another important task, which may actually be impossible to achieve your goals.
9) Max Allegri
He has been a staple in the Premier League’s Next Team X manager market since leaving Juventus (again), but we think this is the first time he’s been in the top ten. We therefore sympathize with Mr. Allegri for this huge blow.
8) Gareth Southgate
Say what you like about Gazball, but it definitely doesn’t have the silliness of Angeball. A lot of crap will be taken care of. Calvin Phillips will join on loan. Dejan Kulusevski will be pushed to the left for some reason. Spurs won’t be as good as they were at times under Postkoglu, but they won’t be as bad as they were under Postkoglu.
As an added bonus, the whole “never quite taking that final step required to actually win something” issue, which hurts Southgate’s qualifications for any other top job in the Premier League, isn’t much of a concern here. .
7) Thomas Frank
It’s so wise. Frank will represent Tottenham’s reflections on Mauricio Pochettino’s last truly successful managerial appointment in the Southampton era. Since then, Tottenham’s managers have been appointed as show-off elites who treat Spurs like shit on their shoes, crazy gambling, or fifth-choice desperation.
A manager working quietly and efficiently further down the Premier League food chain is not going to work.
6) Kieran McKenna
In a market like this, letting the big clubs struggle while managing the smaller clubs never hurts your chances. McKenna is a highly regarded young coach who feels a top eight job is inevitable in his future. While there are some valuable “get to know the club” credentials, this feels like it was the wrong time at the wrong time.
Mind you, beating Chelsea will get Tottenham’s attention. In fact, it’s probably second on the list of desirable qualities in a potential Spurs manager, behind actually being the Chelsea manager.
3=) Xavi Alonso
Another recent top ten player. Let’s be honest, we’re trying to imagine a scenario like this: a guy who’s made it clear he’d like to coach one of his previous clubs, which included Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Munich performed so well that he ended up joining Tottenham Hotspur. Thorn team. True, his stock may not be as high as it was last summer, but things are certainly not that bad at Tottenham for the handsome captain.
3=) Didier Deschamps
Wait, what? Interestingly enough, Tottenham barely looked at the current top two in this market just a few weeks ago. His sudden rise to prominence here must have something to do with last week’s announcement that he will step down as France coach after the 2026 World Cup, but math fans will note that the 2026 World Cup is still 18 months away, which is not the case. The current situation doesn’t seem to add up. Timetable for the next Spurs manager.
3=) Marco Silva
It’s surprising that Silva figures so prominently in the huge market for the next manager, as the job he’s done at Fulham may well merit him such status. There’s always a danger with mid-table managers that consistent ability is exactly what the big clubs should want, but it can also leave you a bit overlooked. We doubt Spurs fans will entertain this as an idea, but we’ve heard worse ideas.
2) Andoni Iraola
It’s hard not to think this will be welcomed by Tottenham fans, whose eyes can see Bournemouth are much higher on the points. Premier League standings And play better football. It’s on our list of things to happen in 2025so considering the feature’s perfect record of 100% accuracy, it’s basically a done deal.
1) Edin Terzic
The former Borussia Dortmund boss is a relatively new name, but he has rocketed to the top of the rankings in recent weeks. If Spurs were to make changes this season, you’d imagine they’d want it a) this month and b) done quickly, so the best ability for any manager here is probably availability and Terzic ticks that box box. The former Borussia Dortmund manager is doing pretty well in our league, isn’t he?
