Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou could be headed for an exit this summer after a disastrous campaign.

Tottenham have endured a disastrous season, leaving Ange Postecoglou hanging by a thread heading into the final games of the season. Spurs are stranded in the bottom half and still yet to pass their worst-ever points total.

The North London side have at least reached the Europa League semi-finals, and they can still qualify for next season’s Champions League by winning that competition. Postecoglou could be doomed either way, and according to National World’s James Trembath, the Australian is indeed headed for the exit doors.

Dissecting what has gone wrong for Postecoglou at Tottenham, Trembath said on the latest Spurs podcast: “I think for me, towards the end of sort of October, November we were on a run, nine wins in 11 games and and we were really really purring. Obviously we went to the Etihad, we won 4-0, went to Old Trafford beat Man United 3-0, and we beat Aston Villa 4-1. It was just showing signs of clicking into gear and then injuries have then completely ravaged us and I think, for me, looking back on it, it's probably two things.

“It's Ange not changing during the injury crisis. The team is built around Van de Ven, Romero, Udogi and Porro, those inverted full backs with pace in terms of the back four and that aggressive press. When those guys are not there, Ange just hasn't changed bar the Man City game where Dragusin and Davies played at centre-back and we dropped 10 yards and never gave Man City a sniff.

“We seem to have always tried to play the same way and I think ultimately that's going to bring him down . You know, I'm all for a manager sticking to his principles but we saw against Frankfurt that we changed a little bit, we don't be as aggressive and we we just adopt that slightly different tactic and we can still be a very very effective side.

“So, I think that's that's sort of point one in terms of Ange for me, his tactical ability to be flexible. I think point two is is very much as you've just said there, the injuries we we had are a very valid excuse. We could hide behind that we've now that we’ve got a fully fit squad aside from one or two. But things just haven't changed. I get the players need time to come up to speed and we're making four or five changes around the Europa League games, but really barring that that first game against Frankfurt when we really did play very well, there hasn't been too much for fans to shout about.

“There's been the odd flash here and there but we've just not been able to consistently put it together for 90 minutes and the individual mistakes and the defensive frailties are there for all to see . The concentration against Nottingham Forest, it was two poor mistakes from Vicario, similar against Wolves. Romero, he's one game in three or four where he produces world-class performances, the next two or three you just don't look interested and he's running around like a headless chicken.

“So, something's amiss because the football isn't Ange ball football anymore and you know we're still not getting the results and just losing every week so, I think they'd be the two key factors for me and obviously, you could throw into the mix as well, when he starts turning on the fan base as well. There's been a little fracas with various fans. He's called us out once or twice and I think the game against Chelsea when you start losing those away purists and those really die hard hardcore hardcore fans.

“I think you know your time's up then when you start losing the the real dedicated away following because they're not the ones necessarily on social media and you know that they are really the thick and thin followers. They turned on him at Chelsea, he had that cup incident didn't he as well, which I know he claimed he wasn't doing it the fans but certainly looked that way.

“I think that was another nail in the coffin really for his tenure at Spurs and it's a shame because when he came in he was a breath of fresh air and that first season, the first 10 games, he looked like he could be the man to recharge us and then, sadly, the wheels have come off one by one and it's been a bit of a car crash ever since and he'll go down as one of the worst managers in Spurs' history.”
