Tottenham: Harry Redknapp 'not writing off' Mauricio Pochettino return after Ange Postecoglou sacking
Ex-Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said that the club's decision to sack Ange Postecoglou did not surprise him in the slightest and would not write off a return for Mauricio Pochettino. Redknapp, who managed Spurs from 2008 to 2012, said that Postecoglou's dismissal was 'harsh', but did concede that the north Londoners had been 'atrocious' this term. Advertisement Spurs won the Europa League, qualifying for next season's Champions League in the process, but it was their 17th-placed finish in the Premier League table that was the final straw for Daniel Levy. Postecoglou had delivered Spurs' first piece of silverware since the League Cup in 2008, and their first European crown in 41 years. However, Redknapp noted one particular factor that made him realise that the Australian's time was up. 'I thought it was a certainty, doesn't shock me at all,' Redknapp said of Postecoglou's sacking. 'Daniel has had two weeks after the cup final to come out and stop the speculation, from day one after they won that cup he never came out. Advertisement "All Daniel had to say was, no, he's our manager. He's here. We're looking forward to next season, but he didn't say a word. 'I knew then for sure he was finished, so it's not a shock in any shape or form to me. It was obvious he was going and [the final] made up Daniel's mind. "It wasn't the best game, it was two poor sides and I think, given their position in the table, Daniel would have made up his mind long before the final that he was going." Serial winner: Ange Postecoglou (Getty Images) Redknapp had thought that the Europa League trophy could have been Postecoglou's saving grace, but he accepted that Spurs' league form - where they lost 22 of 38 games - was unacceptable. Advertisement 'It's harsh, it's a difficult one,' he said. 'They were atrocious this season. 'The league form, fourth from bottom, they had a shocker, they won the cup, sometimes you get a bit of luck with the draw. 'But Daniel has looked at it and is thinking, 'hang on, Man United kept [Erik] Ten Hag last year after winning a cup and they went out and bought some players under his leadership and then suddenly they sacked him. 'Were they going to take that chance with Ange? Bringing four or five new players and suddenly things haven't improved in the league by Christmas, then they have to sack him and are stuck with the players he brought in. Advertisement 'He looks a good guy and I'd have liked to have seen him given more of a chance but it was never going to happen once Daniel didn't come out and support him.' The league form, fourth from bottom, they had a shocker, they won the cup, sometimes you get a bit of luck with the draw Harry Redknapp Looking ahead to who could replace Postecoglou in the dugout, Thomas Frank, the Brentford boss, is the frontrunner, according to reports. Redknapp said that the project at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be an attractive one for a lot of top coaches. "It's a great job for someone," he said.. "I know they finished fourth from bottom in the Premier League, but they won a trophy this year, they're in the Champions League next year. Advertisement "Let's not kid ourselves. Tottenham is a big club. The training facilities are out of this world. The stadium is probably the best stadium in the world now. "What a job for somebody. They've got a good squad. When they're all fit and playing, they've got 20-odd players there that are very, very good players. Some good young players, too, the kids who have come through this year look very good. 'There'll be an awful lot of people who would love that opportunity to manage Tottenham for sure, and Frank at Brentford is a big odds-on favourite. "Even Mauricio Pochettino - a friend of mine rang me and said, you know, what about Pochettino going back there? It's possible. I wouldn't write him off. Naturally, I'd be pleased."

Jose Mourinho makes Daniel Levy feelings clear with Tottenham comments
Tottenham won the Europa League last week and former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has suggested that chairman Daniel Levy will be more pleased about Champions League qualification rather than the trophy Ex-Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has aimed a dig at Daniel Levy following Spurs' Europa League triumph. Mourinho's former team beat another of his previous employers, Manchester United, 1-0 in Bilbao last Wednesday. The win ended Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought and rescued a catastrophic season for the club. Ange Postecoglou's side finished 17th in the Premier League, directly above the relegation zone, marking their worst top-flight campaign since 1977. Spurs' dismal form coincided with protests against chairman Levy from angry supporters. The much-maligned chief axed Mourinho back in 2021 just days before Tottenham were due to face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. Mourinho has managed two clubs since but he's clearly not forgotten Levy's ruthless decision to sack him. The 62-year-old, who's now in charge of Turkish giants Fenerbahce, told Sky Sports: "The impact is obvious, Tottenham plays Champions League and of course for Mr Levy, the millions that the Champions League gives for him is the best news. "For the fans, for the players, for Ange, it's a title." It's not the first time that Mourinho has taken a swipe at Levy. "The most ridiculous [sacking] was a club that has an empty trophy room sacks me two days before a final. That was the one that was... come on," the Portuguese said on the Obi One Podcast in 2023. "Tottenham have never won for 50 years. I don't remember when. I am two days before a final and I couldn't do the final. It's the one which doesn't smell well. Mourinho added: "I had a plan but sometimes it doesn't work. But the reality is every time I went to Wembley with Chelsea I won. I went there with Man United three times, I won twice. "So the record was good. It was a stadium and atmosphere which I dominate well, because when you go into these big matches you need to feel comfortable, you cannot go to these matches and feel the stadium is too big. "I had the experience to try and help the team but the final was against Man City so I would be an idiot right now to say we would have won. But a few weeks before that, we won against them 2-0 at our stadium, so the feeling was positive. But it is what it is."

'He's got some engine!' - Gascoigne praises Man Utd star ahead of Spurs showdown
Ex-Tottenham star Paul Gascoigne has singled out Bruno Fernandes for praise ahead of the Europa League final, calling the midfielder an 'extra manager' on the pitch for Manchester United. Fernandes has once again been United's standout performer throughout an otherwise dismal season in the Premier League, with the 30-year-old racking up eight goals and nine assists in 35 games. The Portugal international has also been instrumental in the Red Devils' journey to this year's Europa League final, netting seven times and registering four assists across the campaign. But individual stats will mean little to Fernandes should United suffer defeat to Tottenham this evening, with Champions League qualification on the line in Bilbao. United are guaranteed to finish with their lowest-ever points total in the league this term and tonight's all-English affair at the San Mames Stadium represents a chance for Ruben Amorim and his squad to save their season.

He's got some engine and I like when he's playing,' Gascoigne said. 'He's also organising players and telling them where to go. It's like having an extra manager, but he's on the pitch! 'He scores some great goals and he really gets around the pitch. 'Both teams need to win this competition, I think just for a bit of a buzz.'

'The best performance under Amorim'
Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson declared Manchester United's performance against Athletic Bilbao as "the best under Ruben Amorim" after they won 3-0 in their Europa League semi-final first told BBC Radio 5 Live: "They were excellent - granted they were playing against 10 men - but they still had to do a job. From that point Manchester United completely controlled the game."There's no way a team of Manchester United's stature should lose 15 games in a Premier League season. When things like that happen, criticism will come but there's no way you can criticise them for the way they've played in this Europa League."They're still the only team unbeaten in the Europa League. If only they played on a Thursday night every night."Ex-Tottenham and Aston Villa winger Andros Townsend agreed, stating United were already starting to exert their authority when Athletic had a man sent off."Bilbao started the game the better and it was only when Casemiro gave United the lead that the tide turned," said Townsend."The game had turned just before the red card happened. Manchester United learned the lesson that they almost suffered against Lyon. There were no risks - a very professional performance."
