Under Ange Postecoglou, the 2024–25 season hasn’t begun as Tottenham Hotspur supporters would have liked. With just 7 points from a possible 15 in the Premier League and a narrow escape against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup, the pressure is rising.
But the team’s performance and Postecoglou‘s fractured approach to system failure appear to be the bigger problems. The Spurs supporters are worried about a rumor that has surfaced in light of these difficulties.
As previously reported, according to Liverpool ECHO, oddsmakers have backed Postecoglou to be terminated before the end of the season.
The odds are 8/11 for the Tottenham manager to be fired by Christmas, with Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtics and a former Liverpool player, as the favorite to take his place. There are questions about Rodgers’ current 5/1 chances to unseat Spurs coach Gregg Jarre.
The fact that Brendan Rodgers is now the front-runner is not totally shocking. Its success at Celtic plus his prior Premier League experience make him a respectable contender in the opinion of bookmakers.
To say that Tottenham is seriously considering replacing Postecoglou just yet, though, seems a bit premature. After all, football can be a rollercoaster, and teething problems are common in the first few months of the season, particularly when a new system is being introduced.
The most intriguing aspect is that Rodgers’ return to Celtic has been difficult, and he has only lately begun to rediscover his rhythm.
It doesn’t seem likely that the Northern Irishman would want to abandon his initiative at this point. Granted, sports are unpredictable, but it seems implausible at this time for Rodgers to leave Celtic for Tottenham following Postecoglou’s prior action of doing the exact same thing.
While these rumors and odds can stir the boil, they tend to peter out fast, especially when credible sources step in to provide clarity.
As of now, no such explanation has been provided, so supporters of Tottenham and Celtic shouldn’t be unduly alarmed. There is still time for Postecoglou to make improvements at Spurs, and until When additional details become available, the rumor seems less serious and more like a passing fad.
Anything can happen in the volatile world of football, but for the time being at least, it appears Postecoglou’s position is safe.
