TOTTENHAM cannot afford to fall into the ‘Erik ten Hag trap’.
were all but certain of giving Ten Hag the elbow at the end of last season.
Everyone was aligned with the plan — he had to go.
And then came the final. United somehow managed to beat and, for a brief moment, everything looked rosy.
mulled it over and over and eventually he decided on an almighty U-turn that included giving Ten Hag yet another summer to spend money they didn’t have.
And what happened? Nine games into the new season, with just three Premier League wins on the board, they realised they had been duped.
It was the same Ten Hag as before. He finally got the chop and United have failed to recover since.
Tottenham simply have to look at that situation and think: “Let’s not do that. Let’s not fall into that trap with .”;
The Spurs boss looks done. No matter what happens, he is gone.
And yet everyone is saying that Ange will save his job if he somehow turns things around and guides the club to the trophy come May.
What difference will that make? It just prolongs the inevitable, just like United did with Ten Hag. And look how that ended up.
In years gone by, winning a cup would be enough to keep a Spurs manager in the job. Not any more.
That’s how bad things have become.
Spurs and chairman cannot afford another calamity of a season after this one. But then who do they get next?
seems to be flirting with the idea of a return but he surely won’t be available until after next summer’s World Cup. So what do they do until then?
Postecoglou claimed the cupping of the ear to his own fans was because he wanted them to celebrate. Come on. That f***ing wound me up. Does he think we are stupid?

I have watched from the defeat at about eight times now and my conclusion is that he went there with an agenda and stuck to it.
He was expecting people to hammer him — he was expecting there to be nasty questions and the reaction was so unnecessary and odd.
I don’t think the interviewer, Patrick Davison, did anything wrong.
Postecoglou then claimed the cupping of the ear to his own fans was because he wanted them to celebrate.
Come on. That f***ing wound me up. Does he think we are stupid?
Those are the actions of a man who is incredibly frustrated and under pressure.
After all, he is human, and that whole club is so f***ing toxic. The whole place needs a revamp.
But as a result, Ange has got into this weird, messy state of desperately trying to control the narrative in the most awkward, cringeworthy way possible.
He looks like one lonely, isolated guy, especially at full-time at .
That being said, I am not surprised he at the end. He got that right, at least.
There’s no point stoking the fire even further to get even more abuse.
What concerns me is that Ange looks to have no one to bounce ideas off or to seek reassurance from that he is saying the right things and making the right decisions.
And why is he still sticking up for this group of players?
For too long Spurs have brought in mediocre players who are not up to it to take them to the next level.
For to change, they need to figure out what they are.
Are they wanting to be top-four challengers? Are they wanting to simply compete for cups? Do they just want to be a nice, entertaining team neutrals enjoy watching?
At the moment, they aren’t anything — and that’s the biggest concern of the lot.
