ANGE POSTECOGLOU is set for a massive payout if Tottenham decide to sack him. The Australian’s future is in huge doubt after Spurs lost for the sixth time in their last seven matches on Sunday.

Another week in the Premier League, another Tottenham defeat. At what point do you start looking at the bottom trapdoor instead of the lofty skyscrapers that take you to European nights?

Daniel Levy makes shock Ange Postecoglou sack decision at Tottenham after the 2-1 defeat at home against Leicester City.

Ange Postecoglou is set to retain his role as Tottenham manager despite questions over his 'ability' to steer the club in the right direction. The Aussie technician is facing mounting scrutiny following Spurs' latest setback on Sunday. They succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Leicester City, marking their eighth loss in ten Premier League outings.

Spurs must rely on inexperienced teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Mikey Moore and – in the likely absence of injured Richarlison and Dominic Solanke – Will Lankshear against Elfsborg and although each of them appear to have the brightest of futures, the weight of responsibility under such intense scrutiny is a huge burden to bear.

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.

Tottenham have suffered injuries to the majority of their playing staff this season, and Antonin Kinsky being the only signing this month screams of indecision by Levy. There have been links to Man United’s Alejandro Garnacho, and PSG’s Milan Skriniar, but the latter has now joined Fenerbahce and the Garnacho links have disappeared.

Tottenham have been warned that their poor form cannot be solely blamed on Ange Postecoglou. They need to give the inspirational Aussie until the end of the season, when a review would take place, according to former Spurs and Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm.

Postecoglou is confident that Spurs' form will pick up once their injured players return to fitness, which also appears to be the calculation of embattled chairman Daniel Levy, with the club still yet to respond to the head coach's repeated pleas for new signings this month.
