Ange Postecoglou says the chance to end Tottenham바카라s long trophy drought was the biggest attraction when it came to accepting the job. (More Football News)
This week saw the club announce revenue streams (£549.6million) in the 2022-23 financial year had passed half-a-billion pounds for the first time and also marked five years since Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened.
However, the main draw for Postecoglou to take over at Spurs was not their money-spinning home venue, the state-of-the-art training facility or healthy finances, but the opportunity to bring silverware back to N17.
Any realistic prospect of Tottenham winning a trophy this season ended in January when they exited the FA Cup but their experienced head coach had continued to state they remained in the title race.
Now 13 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool with only 24 points still to play for, Postecoglou has accepted it will be a trophyless campaign but is determined to change that next year.
바카라It바카라s a fantastic stadium and the facilities at the training ground are fantastic, so you factor that into it, but it wasn바카라t the reason I came to Tottenham,바카라 Postecoglou said ahead of Sunday바카라s visit of Nottingham Forest.
바카라And I get it. It바카라s the Premier League, I바카라m earning decent money, it바카라s high profile, it바카라s got a great stadium, great facilities."
바카라(But) it hasn바카라t won anything for a while. That바카라s why I came. That바카라s the biggest attraction."
바카라If they were playing out of the back of some other stadium, it wouldn바카라t have made a difference to me."
바카라I see a really big club which hasn바카라t had success for a quite a while and it바카라s a great challenge for me."
바카라Progress is not just an endless road, progress has an objective of being successful. When does that happen? I was hoping it would happen this year but it didn바카라t so the plan is for it to happen next year.
바카라At the same time you have got to understand that progress is really messy. It바카라s disheartening and dispiriting and it can really knock your enthusiasm because it바카라s not linear."
바카라You are going to cop some blows along the way and I know that is still ahead of us. We have had to manage a few this year so you understand the progress I바카라m talking about leads to success."
바카라If it doesn바카라t, you will be asking questions to a different bloke next time because it won바카라t be me."
바카라That바카라s why I바카라m here, to bring success to this football club. This year was my objective so next year becomes the objective. And the quicker it happens, the better for me and the football club.바카라
Postecoglou has repeatedly faced questions about the battle for Champions League qualification in recent weeks, especially since he claimed a top-four finish was not a priority.
It was put to the 58-year-old that playing in Europe바카라s elite competition could be the difference between signing the best players or not this summer, but the Australian rejected that notion.
He asked: 바카라Why do you want to come to Tottenham? Because if you want Champions League football and that바카라s all you want, you don바카라t want to come to Tottenham; you just want to go to a Champions League club."
바카라I want people to come to Tottenham, who know this club, know the challenge we바카라ve got and we do have a challenge. We바카라re different to other clubs in that we haven바카라t had success for a while 바카라 so I바카라m looking for a certain type of character.바카라
