HARD TO SEE HOW POSTECOGLOU GETS ANOTHER JOB IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE AFTER HIS WRETCHED REIGN AT FOREST

- BY JOHN CROSS

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has run out of soundbites and excuses this time.

It is impossible to see a route back into Premier League management after his disastrous 39-day reign at Nottingham Forest.

Big Ange has been great entertainment during his time at Tottenham and Forest. And not just because his defences are so wide-open that it generally ensures a feast of goals.

But the facts speak for themselves. Postecoglou failed to win any of his eight games in charge at Forest.

Even worse, he has managed just one win in his last 17 Premier League games, a run which stretches way back to February.

Yes, yes, yes, we all know about the Europa League success and the Australian promising - and delivering ~ a trophy. It was Tottenham's first in 17 years.

But in retrospect, what on earth possessed Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis to appoint him after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo last month?
