"And then, you know that he [Frank] can't be the only issue at the club, right? And that's probably for every manager, but ultimately that's what we get judged on. It's a curious club, Tottenham, you know. It's made a major pivot at the end of last year, not just with me, but with Daniel [Levy] leaving as well. And you've created this whole sort of environment of uncertainty."
"What was the reason for such a major pivot? So Thomas is walking in and what's his, you know, what's his objective? What's the club's objective? At the start of the year they sort of said, compete on all fronts. Well, the club hasn't competed on all fronts for a very long time. And you also, you know, the most influential person at the club [Daniel Levy] for the last 20 years is also going."
Ange Postecoglou labelled Thomas Frank's sacking a fair departure while expressing sympathy for Frank's situation at Tottenham. Tottenham sit five points above the relegation zone with just two wins in their last 17 Premier League matches, prompting the dismissal. Postecoglou noted his own recent experiences of being dismissed twice in six months and argued that managers cannot always be the sole issue when results falter. Postecoglou criticised Tottenham's major pivot late last year, including the departure of Daniel Levy, and said the resulting environment of uncertainty and unclear club objectives undermined managerial stability.
