There's an argument to make that Ange Postecoglou should be sacked, but, for now, Daniel Levy is sticking by Postecoglou.
The chairman is backing the manager, but how do the players at the club feel?
According to Jack Pitt-Brooke, speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, there's a clear sense of how Spurs' players feel about Postecoglou.
How Tottenham's players feel about Ange Postecoglou
There's been speculation about Postecoglou's future recently, but according to Pitt-Brooke, the squad are still behind their manager.
Indeed, the journalist says that he gets the impression that the Tottenham players are still loyal to Postecoglou and support his style of play.
"My impression at the moment is that the players are pro Postecoglou, they like him, they’re loyal to him, they enjoy his style of play and his way of working. And that often, towards the end of Mourinho or Conte or Pochettino, that was not the case. So that suggests the players are willing to stick with this."
Tottenham are getting worse under Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham's players are still behind their manager, but make no mistake about it, something needs to change at Spurs.
Indeed, Tottenham are in decline right now, and they're in the worst position they've been in at this point for a long time.

| 2024/25 | 6 | 3 | 6 | 21 | 11th |
| 2023/24 | 8 | 3 | 4 | 27 | 5th |
| 2022/23 | 8 | 2 | 5 | 26 | 5th |
| 2021/22 | 8 | 1 | 6 | 25 | 5th |

This is very much sacking territory for a Tottenham manager.
Nuno Espirito Santo had a comparable start back in the 2021/22 season, and he was gone by November.
Somehow, Postecoglou has managed to retain the backing of his players and the Spurs board up until this point, but whether or not that is enough to turn the tide in terms of results on the pitch and save his job remains to be seen.
Postecoglou may not be under any serious internal pressure just yet, but from the outside looking in, the Australian doesn't look to be in the safest of positions right now.
