It was little more than three months after being persuaded to appoint Ange Postecoglou that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy triumphantly told a fans’ forum “we’ve got our Tottenham back”.

MATE, oh mate, we’ll miss you, mate.  Even though you weren’t our mate. And we knew that, especially if you called us “mate”.  Ange Postecoglou, you were the last fair-dinkum

Harry Redknapp believes the writing was on the wall for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham as soon as Daniel Levy refused to back him publicly after the Europa League final last month. On Friday, Spurs confirmed that the Australian had been sacked.
