Under-fire Ange Postecoglou hinted at an ‘agenda’ to have him sacked as Tottenham boss after his side were knocked out of a second cup competition inside four days.
As Spurs lost at Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round following their defeat last Thursday at Liverpool in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, there were chants throughout from Spurs fans calling for chairman Daniel Levy to walk away.
Postecoglou is also under severe pressure but launched a passionate defence of his players, claiming every club would struggle as Spurs have done with 12 first-teamers missing.
