Tottenham’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea marked their third consecutive Premier League game without a win, leaving them stuck in mid-table after 15 matches. While Ange Postecoglou isn’t under immediate threat, some believe his position could soon come under scrutiny if results don’t improve. Growing calls from fans and pundits suggest Newcastle boss Eddie Howe could be a potential successor.
On BBC 606, Chris Sutton dismissed the idea of Eddie Howe replacing Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham after a fan suggested the Newcastle boss as a potential successor.
Sutton, a long-time supporter of Postecoglou, highlighted the irony of the rumours, noting that Newcastle currently sit lower in the table than Spurs
Howe would be an interesting successor to Big Ange
Eddie Howe has achieved remarkable success with Newcastle in recent years, despite the team’s struggles over the past 18 months due to a series of injury setbacks. Addressing calls for Howe to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, Chris Sutton dismissed the idea. He highlighted that Newcastle currently sit below Tottenham in the league table, questioning the logic behind such a move. Sutton firmly stated, “You want to sack Ange and bring in the manager of a team that’s behind you in the table?”
Ange Postecoglou and Eddie Howe have similar records, but Howe’s achievements stand out. Taking charge of Newcastle when they were bottom of the Premier League, he orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, making his impact undeniably more impressive.

With support for Ange seems to be fading, Tottenham’s upcoming fixtures could play a pivotal role in determining his future. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe faces mounting pressure at Newcastle amid their struggles this season. Should Howe depart St James’ Park, Spurs may see an opportunity to bring him in, especially given his familiarity with players like Dominic Solanke from his Bournemouth days.
