'Why didn't you try a bit harder?!' - Ex-Tottenham boss questions squad's commitment to sacked boss Ange Postecoglou amid reports of Spurs mutiny

Club Friendlies

Reading

Tottenham

<p>Redknapp has taken aim at Tottenham’s players who publicly backed Ange Postecoglou following his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/spurs-sack-ange-postecoglou-daniel-levy-thomas-frank/blte3d6a132dd72b55b" target="_blank">controversial sacking</a>. The former Spurs manager questioned the squad’s commitment, suggesting their lack of effort during the season contributed to the club’s disastrous 17th-place finish and ultimately, the Australian’s dismissal. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Postecoglou’s departure just two weeks after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/tottenham-player-ratings-vs-man-utd-europa-league-final-brennan-johnson-micky-van-de-ven/blt5503ac1eb0012125" target="_blank">guiding Tottenham to Europa League glory</a> sparked widespread backlash, with many feeling he deserved more time. Several Spurs players, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/obstacles-that-will-always-exist-cristian-romero-swipe-tottenham-ownership-ange-postecoglou-sacking/blt90801c6a830bb232#cs766d7828787adb37" target="_blank">Cristian Romero</a> and Yves Bissouma, were quick to post emotional tributes to their outgoing manager. However, reports of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tottenham-players-fuming-spurs-facing-player-revolt-furious-decision-sack-ange-postecoglou/blt4c31b3a53ac7ec7b" target="_blank">dressing-room revolt soon followed</a>, with outlets claiming some players were furious with the decision and even contemplating exits.   </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking during a <a href="https://x.com/HaytersTV/status/1933212254188568590" target="_blank">Soccer Aid training session</a>, Redknapp said: "That's football, that's what footballers do. 'Oh, we love the previous manager' — well, why didn’t you try a bit harder? You might not have finished fourth from the bottom.” </p><p>He added: "It's the same old message. The king is dead, long live the king. That's football. They all come out and say the manager was great, then the new manager comes, and he’s great. Then, when he goes, they’re sorry to see him go. That’s football. You mustn’t take any notice of what they say.” </p>

WHAT REDKNAPP SAID

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tottenham-hire-thomas-frank-spurs-confirm-appointment-danish-boss-after-reaching-agreement-brentford-following-sacking-europa-league-winner-ange-postecoglou/bltd778255272ffaee3" target="_blank">Thomas Frank has now been announced as Tottenham's new boss</a>, and as he begins his reign in North London, rebuilding trust and unity in the dressing room will be key. With murmurs of unrest and a fanbase still divided over Postecoglou’s exit, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-frank-seven-point-tottenham-plan-beat-mutiny-win-trophy-hijack-man-utd-move-bryan-mbeumo/bltd91eb753caee669b" target="_blank">Danish coach must stamp his authority quickly to steady the ship ahead of the new campaign</a>. Whether the squad truly backs him may be clearer once the Premier League kicks off. </p>
