Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed his frustration over what he perceives as a persistent negative agenda against the club. Despite a recent win over Southampton, Postecoglou highlighted that even positive developments are often viewed through a pessimistic lens, emphasizing that Spurs' current position in the Premier League—14th after 31 matches—has contributed to this narrative.

As the team prepares to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-finals, Postecoglou has acknowledged that there is skepticism surrounding his future, even if Tottenham were to secure a trophy this season. He remarked on the sentiment that suggests he might be "gone anyway" regardless of the team's performance in the tournament, which represents their last hope for silverware this season.

The Australian manager, who joined Spurs in June 2023 after a successful stint at Celtic, has been under pressure due to the club's struggles this season, compounded by injury issues. Postecoglou has a track record of success, having won multiple trophies in his previous roles, and he aims to continue that legacy at Tottenham. However, he is wary that the prevailing opinions about his coaching ability and the club's direction are difficult to change.

Postecoglou stated, "Even if we win [the Europa League], I am gone anyway. That's just the general sentiment of the people." This acknowledgment of the challenging environment reflects his commitment to focusing on the team's performance rather than external criticisms. As Tottenham seeks to turn their season around, the upcoming match against Frankfurt is pivotal, not only for potential silverware but also for Postecoglou's standing as manager.

The atmosphere surrounding the club remains tense, but with a crucial European tie on the horizon, Postecoglou hopes to galvanize his players and prove the doubters wrong. The match could serve as a turning point for both the team and Postecoglou's tenure at the club.
