Alan Shearer Shares Postecoglou Sack Verdict at Tottenham

Amid the calls for consistency, manager Ange Postecoglou is facing growing scrutiny. Despite this, Premier League legend Alan Shearer believes the Australian coach isn’t truly under significant pressure just yet. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Shearer was asked if Postecoglou was feeling the heat at Tottenham.

“Typical Spurs though, isn’t it?” said Shearer. “My goodness me. They beat City at home, they beat Villa at home with a great win, and then you got Ipswich at home. Ipswich turn you over.”

Shearer dismissed the notion that Postecoglou is under serious threat, adding, “I don’t think so. No, I think you just look at it like that—he took responsibility, didn’t he? He said it’s his fault, his problem. He’s got to sort it out. But when you see them in the second half against Villa and then beating City, it’s just, it’s the inconsistency again. How long have we been saying that about Spurs?”

For now, it seems the club’s faith in Postecoglou remains strong, but Tottenham’s search for consistent form is likely to determine whether he can ultimately steer them to the season’s lofty targets.
