Overview

• Postecoglou has gone seven matches without a win since taking over last month, with sections of the fanbase calling for his removal after defeats to Midtjylland and Newcastle.
• Multiple reports indicate owner Evangelos Marinakis is leaning toward keeping him through the international break, with talks expected and the Chelsea match highlighted as an early test of his tenure.
• The club has been linked with Fulham’s Marco Silva as a preferred successor, though outlets note his contract would require a sizeable payment to pry him away mid-season.
• Coverage also stresses Marinakis’ track record of hiring out-of-work managers, a factor seen as delaying any move for a contracted coach such as Silva.
• Pundit reaction is split, with Chris Waddle calling the pressure “farcical” and Roy Keane labeling Postecoglou a “dead man walking,” while the manager says he remains confident and accepts results must improve in the next run of fixtures.
