Ange Postecoglou has made it very clear that he expects Tottenham Hotspur to be involved in the Premier League title race next season.
The Australian toldfootball.london last week that he expected to be preparing Spurs this summer to have a big season next time out and he confirmed on Monday, ahead of the derby clash at West Ham, that in 12 months' time he expects the north London outfit to be involved in the title race.
«I hope so or why am I doing what I'm doing? That's why I came to the club. As somebody said to me last week, 'Just do your job Ange', and my job is to come here and try to bring success and if you don't think you're going to be in the title race in 12 months' time then I don't know why I'm here,» said the Tottenham head coach.
When quizzed on who told him to just do his job, he responded: «Oh, just a confidant. A couple of confidants who straighten me up every time I wobble, including my wife too, by the way. Very often.»
Postecoglou is refusing to simply limit fifth-placed Tottenham to a top four finish as a target this season despite the eight-point gap to top of the table Liverpool.
«You don't know but ultimately you don't want to discount that possibility. That's why I keep saying, if fourth's our ultimate goal or we fall in with two games to spare, what does that mean? We don't aspire to anything better than that?» he explained.
