[Sports]Postecoglou unsure on future - but why do many Spurs fans blame Levy

[Maheso]

Ange Postecoglou has had some tough moments during his second season in charge at Tottenham.

There was defeat by newly promoted Ipswich in November, a 6-3 loss to Liverpool at home in December and needing extra-time to scrape past non-league Tamworth in the FA Cup in January.

But Spurs' season plunged to new depths on Sunday with a 2-1 loss to Leicester City, who had been on a seven-match losing streak before arriving in north London.

The mood inside the Tottenham Hotspur stadium turned toxic at full-time but Postecoglou was not the only one bearing the brunt of the supporters' rage, as fans made their feelings clear towards chairman Daniel Levy.

After defeat to Leicester left Spurs 15th in the Premier League and on a seven-match winless run, Postecoglou admitted he was unsure over his future.

But why is a lot of the anger directed elsewhere?

After the loss to Leicester, Postecoglou said: "I'm a football manager and I get judged on results, that is the way of the world."

If that is the case, then the results do not make happy reading for the Tottenham boss.

After Sunday's loss:

Spurs are 15th in the Premier League, collecting 24 points from 23 matches.

They are eight points above the relegation zone and are closer to bottom place Southampton (18 points) than they are to league leaders Liverpool (27 points)

They have won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches, winning one, drawing one and losing nine. They have taken four points from the last 33 available.

Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League matches - their longest winless streak in the top flight since a nine-game run in 2008.

The defeat against Leicester was the first time since a loss to Notts County in 1912 that Spurs have lost at home to a side who had lost their previous seven league matches in a row.
