Ange Postecoglou might only have a game or two to save his job at Tottenham.

The former Celtic manager has not had it his own way since leaving Glasgow for North London and Postecoglou faces the sack from Daniel Levy.

Spurs are in disarray and languish in 14th spot in the Premier League table with Ange struggling to find a win from anywhere.

Postecoglou snapped at a Sky Sports reporter following his side’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea where he cupped his ears after his side scored a goal which was eventually ruled out for offside.

Souness says Celtic hero Postecoglou ‘playing dangerous game’ with Tottenham fans

And Graeme Souness, the former Rangers player and manager, feels that could signal the end for the Australian if he’s not careful.

“There is no way of dressing up that it’s been a very disappointing season for Ange Postecoglou,” Souness wrote in his Daily Mail column.

“He’s on a downward spiral that is hard to get out of.

“When you start falling out with the diehard supporters who travel away to watch you, it’s always a dangerous game.”

It’s dangerous, indeed, and Postecoglou won’t have it as he did at Celtic in terms of a fanbase relationship and a mutual love for one another.

His decision to leave Celtic Park came after he’d won five trophies at the Scottish Premiership giants and it was met with disappointment by the support.

Postecoglou faces Spurs sack after poor season

Ange has had run-ins with Spurs fans this term as they begin to lose patience and Levy could do the unthinkable even if his manager gets to the Europa League Final which remains a possibility.

It has been a rough year for the big man but Hoops fans have always had his back and wished him well throughout what has been an up and down campaign.

Some don’t seem to want Postecoglou to succeed at Spurs because of his Scotland connection and loud-mouth pundits have disrespected Celtic and the 59-year-old.

So it might be time for Ange himself to take his future into his own hands before he suffers any sack indignity.
