'No guaranteed manager!' - Ex-Tottenham boss unsure Ange Postecoglou exit will help club
Tottenham Hotspur have no obvious replacement for Ange Postecoglou should the Premier League club part ways with the Greek-Australian, believes ex-boss Tim Sherwood.
Spurs have endured a difficult sophomore season under their current head coach, whose promise of delivering silverware in his second campaign looks to be a fading dream.
With his team marooned in the bottom half of the table and their hopes of domestic success long since faded, only the UEFA Europa League can provide glory for Tottenham .

Many anticipate Postecoglou could be handed his marching orders should they fail to win, but Sherwood says there is no replacement who can deliver guaranteed improvements.
"There have been some fantastic managers at Tottenham," he told Norsk Poker . "They’ve had the ‘trophy’ managers such as Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
"They had Nuno Espirito Santo – who they couldn’t get out the club quick enough, and now he’s third in the Premier League. There’s no guaranteed manager to come in.

"They had Mourinho and Conte who were supposedly ‘guaranteed’ to bring success and win trophies, but they couldn’t. Sometimes the glove fits and sometimes it doesn’t.
"I like Ange Postecoglou. I think he’s something different. He’s certainly brought excitement back. It’s a little bit too entertaining at times.
"They obviously can score goals but also concede. They can beat anyone but also lose to anyone, so it is unpredictable. Of course you want to see more consistency.
"But look what he produced last year, when the players stayed fit. That’s what I’d be looking at, rather than this season where Spurs have been crippled with injuries.
"If they win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League, it’ll be considered as the best season Tottenham have had in recent history.”
Tottenham will look to salvage their hopes when they face off with Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals of the Europa League next month.
