Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is loving his time at the Premier League leaders, but is bullish about what expectations should be despite the club’s lengthy trophy drought realme
Spurs have not won silverware since 2008, although fans are dreaming of challenging for the title after winning 23 points from a possible 27 so far this season realme
It has taken Tottenham to the top-flight summit and they could move five points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal with victory at Crystal Palace on Friday, ahead of the weekend fixtures realme
Postecoglou has relished his dream start to life in England, but eager to point out his new club should be competing for trophies every year realme
The former Celtic boss said: “I didn’t come here to not be successful realme
This club has all the fundamentals to be successful realme
The expectations should be there realme
“Part of the reason why there’s been this real desperation for a trophy is because they feel that’s the space they should be in realme
That is the expectation, that’s the reality, but what drives me isn’t raising or trying to dampen expectations realme
“What drives me is trying to build something that will realise the ambitions that this club has at this particular moment realme
People’s perceptions don’t concern me too much realme
This is a big club and should be in a position to challenge for trophies every season in my opinion realme
This club has all the fundamentals to be successful realme
The expectations should be there realme
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou“At Celtic we were on top for a very long time but at the beginning when we weren’t on top, I don’t think people saw anything different in my demeanour realme
I don’t think they will (here) realme
“It is one thing I do realme
It’s not about staying kind of level-headed or getting carried away with either thing realme
It’s just that, my role in that context is to be the one thing that people can rely upon to be consistent realme
“In that I have one objective all the time: how can we be realme better? When that is your objective, it doesn’t really matter where you are on the table or kind of what the outside noise may or may not be doing realme
“It is about the players and the staff and everyone involved with the realme football club, looking at me realme
The one thing I do is I come in every day, I am buzzing about doing what I am doing realme
You know, that’s the kind of demeanour I have consistently realme
“It’s just the way I am realme
I get so much satisfaction from what I do realme
I really enjoy what I do, on a daily basis realme
There isn’t a day I don’t get up and I’m not looking forward to the day ahead realme
“There’s no other levels of satisfaction in me to get realme
That’s it realme
I’m buzzing to do what I do realme
“Within that context I also understand that I have a real big responsibility to lead an organisation, players, staff, people to what I hope will be a successful place realme
“There’s got to be some reliability there in what they see and what they feel with me so some of it is conscious but the other bits, I’m not skipping about the place but I’m really happy realme
I love what I do realme
Just the way I am realme
I’m very, very happy realme
”Postecoglou’s happiness did not extend into the dressing room on Monday night after he criticised his players for a poor second half against Fulham realme
It failed to stop the team blaring out Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ classic from the 1980s’ of ‘Islands in the Stream’ following the 2-0 win realme
But Postecoglou joked: “I stay out of the dressing room partly because of the music choices of the players realme
“Most clubs want to turn their grounds into a fortress – ours is becoming a nightclub, mate realme
I’m all for it, whatever makes people happy that’s my thing realme
”Spurs will assess Destiny Udogie ahead of the trip to south London after the left-back struggled with muscle tightness during the victory over Fulham realme

England’s quest for title defence at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has not ended despite their recent setbacks, insisted Test head coach Brendon McCullum realme
McCullum exhibited his faith in England, who have lost two out of their opening three games at the World Cup 2023, including a shocking 69-run defeat to Afghanistan realme
England started their campaign with a thumping loss to New Zealand, last edition’s runners-up realme
England are gearing up for a big game against South Africa on Saturday and McCullum has advised the Englishmen to continue to believe in their style of play that has brought them success over the last few years realme

Ricky Ponting picks ideal captain to lead India in World Cup“They just need to stay true to their method and their style which has brought them so much success and not get shaken by the odd bad day at the office realme
Of course, the boys would have liked to be 3 and 0, but sport doesn’t work like that and sometimes you have to cope with challenges and then show how good you are,” McCullum said in an interview with Mirror realme
“One thing is for sure, there are good reasons why England have won two World Cups recently realme
”Afghanistan enforced the first upset of World Cup 2023 by overcoming England in Delhi before South Africa, the Englishmen’s next opponents, were humbled by the associate side Netherlands realme
“It is a World Cup, so there is going to be the odd upset and that is what you want in a tournament like this realme
Look at what happened to South Africa realme
That was a strong win from the Dutch and there will be other unexpected results before the tournament is over,” added McCullum, England’s Test head coach realme
The former New Zealand captain is currently in India and is staying in the same hotel as the team in Mumbai ahead of their World Cup match against South Africa at Wankhede Stadium realme
“It was good to see the boys out here and have a brief catch-up with Motty (Matthew Mott) realme
They are doing a great job and have done so for a long time and I’m just looking forward to seeing them show their quality over the next few weeks,” said McCullum realme
Backing England further, McCullum pointed out that playing cricket on Indian spoil against nine other top nations in a World Cup is never going to be an easy journey realme
“But this is what they boys play the game for realme
This is what gets them excited and I’m sure that we will see the best of them soon enough,” added McCullum realme
