Sky Sports football pundit Gary Neville has taken to social media to expand upon his claim about Tottenham Hotspur having been a stable environment upon Ange Postecoglou’s appointment as the club’s new head coach.
Neville was involved in a heated debate with fellow pundit and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher within the Sky studio following Manchester City’s comfortable 3-0 victory over rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
Carragher questioned the style of football which United boss Erik ten Hag is operating in comparison to the likes of Aston Villa’s Unai Emery and Postecoglou, who has helped to renergise the Tottenham Hotspur faithful with a return to the high-pressing, attack-minded tactics which have seen them top the Premier League table.

Gary Neville makes another claim about Ange Postecoglou
Carragher told Sky Sports: “He has been here now nearly 18 months. We’ve seen Unai Emery come in at Aston Villa, we’ve seen Ange Postecoglou come in at Tottenham. In a short space of time, it doesn’t mean you win every week, but when you go to the games you know what you’re going to see.
“We still don’t know what we’re going to see with Manchester United. You tell me how they play with the ball.”
Neville replied, suggesting that the two aforementioned managers had inherited stable environments after taking the managerial reins at their respective clubs, he said: “Look, Carra, to be honest with you I can’t disagree with you. But those managers you talk about come into stable environments. They’ve currently got over their heads a guy all over the news who is going to own 25 per cent…”
We decided to question Neville on X yesterday about his claim of Postecoglou having walked into a football club with a stable environment considering it was far from the case, considering Tottenham had just finished in their lowest league position in ten years, the resignation of director of football Fabio Paratici, the protests by some fans towards Daniel Levy and ENIC along with the legal situation surrounding former owner Joe Lewis in the USA.
Neville, responded to our question by instead insisting that the ownership situation at Tottenham was stable.
Ownership is stable!

Neville has done Postecoglou’s efforts an injustice once again with his newest claim. The Australian inherited a fanbase who had become disenchanted with the club considering the lack of enjoyment which had been witnessed on the pitch following the Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte eras.
Daniel Levy and the board will be thanking their lucky stars that the appointment proven to be a shrewd one, with huge pressure mounting on the senior figures at the club after how last season panned out.
