Tottenham asked to reinstate Ange Postecoglou as head coach by Melbourne mayor
The mayor of one of Australia's biggest cities has asked Tottenham Hotspur to 'reconsider' their decision to sack head coach Ange Postecoglou, adding they risk being 'known as the team that is allergic to silverware'. The 59-year-old Postecoglou, who was born in Greece but grew up in Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria, was relieved of his duties by Tottenham on Friday after two seasons at the helm. Advertisement He led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years when they won the Europa League on May 21 but oversaw a league campaign that ended with a 17th-place finish and 22 losses, both record lows for the club in the Premier League era. Postecoglou spent the majority of his playing career with South Melbourne FC — a club founded by Greek immigrants and originally known as South Melbourne Hellas — and was head coach of the team between 1996 and 2000. After leading Australia at the 2014 World Cup and winning the 2015 Asian Cup as head coach of the national team, Postecoglou remains popular in his home city and nation, with Lord Mayor of Melbourne Nicholas Reece even taking the step to publicly urge Tottenham to reverse their decision. 'On behalf of the people of Melbourne, and Premier League fans around the world, I call on Tottenham Hotspur to reconsider its decision to sack coach Ange Postecoglou,' said Mr Reece in a post on Instagram. 'In Melbourne we have followed Ange's career closely for decades. 'Never underestimate Ange's determination to win, and his ability to carry teams to greatness. We have seen this time again over his career. This year Tottenham made history by winning the Europa League trophy — its first such win in 17 years. We will see further trophies if Ange is given the chance. 'Don't let Tottenham be known as the team that is allergic to silverware. Let Ange lead the players onto greatness in next year's Premier League campaign.' Mr Reece is a member of Australia's Labor Party and assumed his role in July 2024, before retaining it in the 2024 Melbourne City Council election. Tottenham are yet to confirm Postecoglou's replacement. The Athletic reported on Monday that the club had contacted Brentford as they seek to reach an agreement to appoint Thomas Frank as head coach.

Newcastle United Transfer Progress Is Slow And Fans Want Answers
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - MAY 25: Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe celebrates gaining a ... More Champions League place after the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Everton FC at St James' Park on May 25, 2025 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. (Photo by Alex Dodd - CameraSport via Getty Images) For Newcastle United supporters, this was billed as a summer to remember. After three transfer windows without a major first-team signing, this is the time to improve, off the back of the greatest season in its modern history. The momentum of winning its first major trophy in 70 years carried through to securing Champions League qualification. Both of those achievements promised much; a stronger hand when looking to keep its best players, particularly Alexander Isak, the star striker for whom a new contract is earmarked, and brighter prospects for new recruits. Analysis of the club's transfer plans do not need to be thorough; a right-winger, a centre-back, a striker and a goalkeeper are wanted, just as they have been for two years. Newcastle's failure to strengthen in those positions has not been down to choice, but rather the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. Newcastle coach, Eddie Howe, confirmed in his final press conference last season that PSR is not a major concern this summer. A year ago, there was huge concern as the club scrambled to sell two of its best young players, Elliot Anderson and Yakuba Minteh, before the accounts deadline of June 30. Without those exits, Newcastle would have posted a loss of more than £105m ($142m) over a three-year period, incurring a points deduction. That would have been a disaster, impacting the club's development for years to come. So if there is no PSR threat and the pull of the Champions League is there, why hasn't Newcastle signed anybody yet? June 10 is the deadline for the early transfer window, designed to allow those clubs playing in the Club World Cup to strengthen before competing in the United States. But all clubs have had the opportunity to sign players. Newcastle supporters are growing in frustration at the lack of movement; but the club appears to have made domestic signings its priority.

Picture date: Sunday September 15, 2024. (Photo by Nick Potts/PA Images via Getty Images) Naturally, given the wealth of the Premier League and rival clubs not wanting to sell to each other, it is hard to do swift deals. Newcastle is also unwilling to be held to ransom. Sporting Director Paul Mitchell and CEO Darren Eales are both leaving this summer, too. But the biggest reason Newcastle is not ready to strike has been clear for a year. Last summer, after complying with PSR, the club tried and failed to recruit, which has only fuelled fan angst at the current situation. As bids for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi failed to lure the defender to St James' Park, Howe said something that has reverberated into this summer. 'If you're going to add players they have to push the group to new levels," Howe said on August 10, 2024. "That's what we are looking for — which is very difficult to find. There's not many players that will make us better.' Newcastle has already made enquiries for Brighton forward Joao Pedro and Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga. Neither club is keen to sell, and Newcastle must accept that it is facing a difficult situation if it wants to move ahead with those deals. Talks are underway over a £30m ($41m) move for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, with hope of progress over the next week by the time the window reopens. When clubs want its players, such as Manchester City which is interested in defender Tino Livramento, they are met with a tough stance. There are reports that Newcastle feels the fact it is owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund is increasing prices; that isn't the case, it is the reality of buying from rival clubs. Howe is correct in saying that Newcastle's squad is at such a high level that only a small group will improve it. But that is why scouting is so important, finding the right players without spending too much. While the Premier League is rich enough so clubs don't have to sell without huge profits, its standing as the best league in the world has created a myth that players are more valuable once they have proven they can play at that level. But that only feeds into the increasing of prices; Newcastle must be more creative in finding the right signings. This summer is different to any other; never before have so many clubs been so active this early in June. Pre-season in still weeks away, so fans would do well to remember that and stay calm. But through failing to sign anybody major since 2022, Newcastle has lost that immediate trust in the process from supporters. While rival clubs are signing players, there is a juxtaposition on Tyneside; officially, Newcastle is PSR issue free and able to spend, but players are going elsewhere and its board is about to break up. The momentum built is in jeopardy. There is plenty of time for that to change and no need to panic. But Newcastle is facing a tide of negativity if it doesn't act soon, because in the summer which is supposed to take the club to new heights, fans are concerned history will repeat itself.
