Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham are “not a big club” because of their refusal to pay major wages for top-level signings. The manager who led them to Europa League glory last season before being sacked also feels the dreaded “Spursy” tag is “100%” real and is another factor holding them back.
Postecoglou finished fifth in his first campaign in charge in 2024 but missed out on Champions League qualification, the revenues from which he suggested are fundamental to Spurs in the transfer market. When he wanted to strengthen in the summer of 2024, the Australian was unable to land many of the players he targeted. Spurs added Dominic Solanke and three teenage talents – Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert.
