Wow: Staveley now target brilliant Ange replacement in surprise Tottenham move
In what could be a surprising twist for Tottenham Hotspur, Amanda Staveley may consider replacing Ange Postecoglou with another manager if her investment bid in the North London club proves successful.
Staveley, who left Newcastle United earlier this year, is reportedly interested in acquiring a stake in Tottenham. Backed by significant financial resources, her involvement could provide a much-needed boost for Spurs, who are eager to keep pace with their Premier League rivals.
For years, Tottenham has struggled to match the financial muscle of other top clubs, and Staveley’s investment could finally give them the edge they need to challenge for silverware.
Under the long-standing leadership of Daniel Levy, Tottenham has faced financial constraints, particularly in the transfer market.
It took a full year to replace Harry Kane after his departure to Bayern Munich, with the club finally signing Dominic Solanke for a reported £65 million. Solanke has begun to justify that investment, scoring in both domestic and European competitions.
However, the potential benefits of Staveley’s investment may not be enjoyed by the current manager, Ange Postecoglou.
According to reports from The Sun, Staveley might look to bring in Eddie Howe as his replacement if her investment goes through and Postecoglou’s struggles continue. While Postecoglou has shown moments of brilliance this season, his team has been inconsistent.
For example, Spurs impressed with a dominant win over Manchester United but followed it with a collapse against Brighton, squandering a two-goal lead to lose 3-2. This inconsistency has put pressure on the manager, whose job could be in jeopardy if results don’t improve.
Eddie Howe, currently managing Newcastle United, has garnered attention for his ability to build competitive teams without major summer reinforcements.
Described as “brilliant” by Gary Neville, Howe has earned a reputation as one of the Premier League’s most promising managers.
Staveley is reportedly a fan of Howe, and her arrival at Tottenham could trigger a managerial shake-up if Postecoglou fails to turn things around.
Despite the speculation, Tottenham would be wise to remain patient with Postecoglou. His team has shown flashes of potential, and the Australian manager deserves time to fully implement his vision.
Postecoglou’s attacking style has already brought some memorable moments, particularly in the win against Manchester United. With the right backing in the transfer market, he has the ability to transform Spurs into a more consistent and competitive side.
In the past, Tottenham has tried hiring high-profile managers like Antonio Conte and José Mourinho, only for those tenures to end in disappointment. Both managers were brought in with the hope of delivering instant success, but their pragmatic styles ultimately clashed with the club’s philosophy and long-term ambitions.
By hiring Postecoglou, Tottenham took a different approach, opting for a manager known for his ability to build teams over time. To abandon that project now would be a step backward.
Instead, Staveley’s potential investment should focus on completing the project Postecoglou has already started. Recent signings like Solanke and Archie Gray represent promising steps toward building a squad capable of competing at the highest level.
If Staveley’s investment can bring further financial backing, Tottenham could continue to grow under Postecoglou’s leadership. While Eddie Howe is undoubtedly a talented manager, Tottenham’s best move would be to stick with Postecoglou and give him the support he needs to succeed.
In the long run, patience may prove to be the key to unlocking Tottenham’s potential under Postecoglou. The club has already seen how effective his style of play can be when everything clicks.
With continued investment and trust in the process, Spurs could finally find the consistency they’ve been lacking and take significant steps toward ending their long trophy drought.
