Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou Faces Leadership Challenges and Injury Crisis

Postecoglou addresses Cristian Romero's public criticism of Spurs' board while grappling with a defensive injury crisis and poor form.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou stated that Cristian Romero's public criticism of the club's board over investment was emotional and inappropriate, though he acknowledged Romero's passion for improvement.
Romero apologized to Postecoglou after suggesting the club's leadership should match the spending of rivals like Manchester City and Liverpool and focus less on changing coaching staff.
Postecoglou emphasized the need for unity within the team and defended the club's potential to compete despite financial disparities with wealthier rivals.
The team is struggling with a significant defensive injury crisis, with key players like Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Ben Davies unavailable for upcoming matches, including the Europa League tie against Rangers.
Postecoglou's tenure has come under scrutiny after a poor run of form, with just one win in seven matches, as questions persist about Tottenham's squad depth and long-term investment strategy under chairman Daniel Levy.
