Gabby Agbonlahor refuses to apologise for Ange Postecoglou criticism despite Tottenham ending trophy drought with Europa League triumph

<p>Tottenham secured their first major trophy in 17 years by defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final. Despite this success and securing Champions League football, former Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor maintains his stance that Postecoglou isn't the right man for the job, refusing to offer an apology for his previous criticism. Agbonlahor believes Postecoglou deserves praise, but insists the club needs to invest heavily and potentially consider a managerial change for sustained success.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Postecoglou's first season at Tottenham was a rollercoaster. While Spurs initially impressed with their attacking football, a mid-season dip and concerns over tactical inflexibility led to criticism, including from Agbonlahor. The Europa League victory and Champions League qualification have undeniably strengthened Postecoglou's position in his second season, but questions remain about his long-term suitability to guide Spurs to consistent title contention.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWmGxYMTsW4" target="_self">talkSPORT</a>, Agbonlahor said: "No, I think he deserves praise for what he's achieved. He's got the club into Champions League. First European trophy since 1984, So he deserves a lot of praise. But Spurs have to go now. They have to invest. They have to get rid of the players that aren't good enough. They have to go through it now.</p><p>"Can they go next year like Newcastle, Crystal Palace, winning trophies? Can they go again next season and win another trophy, an FA Cup, a Carabao Cup? Can these players get used to winning trophies? Can they go out and get a Champions League squad assembled for next season and have a good go? Why not? You're in it now. This season's forgotten. </p><p>"If you need to change the manager, bring in a different manager who's going to get you the right players and you're going to trust with the funds. But Spurs need to stay on top now. You've won the Europa League. You're in the Champions League. Why not go and have a good go?"</p>

WHAT AGBONLAHOR SAID

<p>Tottenham will celebrate their Europa League victory with a trophy parade. The club now faces crucial decisions regarding player recruitment, aiming to build a squad capable of competing in the Champions League and challenging for domestic honours. The Tottenham board must decide if Postecoglou is the manager to oversee that project, balancing his recent success with concerns about long-term sustainability. Spurs will be a team of interest for the foreseeable future with questions still to be answered and their new found momentum to be capitalised on.</p>
