Ange Postecoglou wants to create a club that has the opportunity to win things on a yearly basis.

He was still preaching from this page of his gospel before the November international break this season .

But things have changed, his personal situation, too, as Spurs endure one of the worst league seasons in their history, 21 defeats (and counting) starting to spell the end for the manager.

Ange Postecoglou's idea in recent months has been to reframe the challenge, to have the players see a “greater purpose” than merely winning a trophy.

Morale was low after Antonio Conte ’s scorching of the earth .

Spurs have got rid of a lot of experienced players and if none of those moved on have been greatly mourned apart from Harry Kane the collective loss of nous has been felt this season .

The taking of a new direction was never going to be straightforward.
