Certainly, it’s extensively accepted Postecoglou’s tenure would nearly definitely have ended had they misplaced to United in Bilbao.

However they did not. And therein might lie a quandary for Levy.

Ought to they lose on Sunday, 22 league defeats can be unacceptable for a membership with Tottenham’s squad and sources.

In standard circumstances, the supervisor would take the rap for that and relieved of his duties.

However these aren’t standard circumstances. Postecoglou has succeeded the place so many – together with Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte – have failed.
