Lagos, Nigeria – E be like say dem don drop the bomb for Tottenham Hotspur camp as dem sacked Ange Postecoglou just after him lead dem win di Europa League. Na wetin we fit call wahala, abi? How person go collect di first trophy in 17 years and still dey face dem fire? Chai!
Postecoglou, di Australian manager wey sabi ball well well, don follow di age-long mantra wey say ‘di game dey about glory’, but it look like say glory no dey count for Daniel Levy eye. As dem confirm sey di gaffer don pack him bag after two years, him no fit hide di surprise wey catch am. Na only Spurs wey fit sack manager wey don bring dem back to glory.
For statement wey dem release, Spurs talk sey, ‘E sure sey our decision no fit dey based on emotions.’ All dis as dem still praise di glorious night wey dem take beat Manchester United for Bilbao. Na wah! Glory no dey sweet Levy like money sef (money wey sabi disappear). Dem fit no follow di recent trophy dry wey Postecoglou bring come, but here we go reason am well.
Di club don suffer for years without any silverware before Postecoglou come. E be like di gaffer carry golden touch wey man try before am. Even di legendary manager Pochettino no fit do wetin Postecoglou achieve. But dis guy still fit cause di club to finish for 17th place for di Premier League, wey no suppose happen at all. E be like sey dem chop black magic for league!
Some fans dey vex, say dem no suppose sack am after he bring di glory back. But some dey yan say if dem no follow di league well, na only trophy dem go dey hold. E no dey make sense at all. Shearer don talk say, ‘Football na stupid game!’, and we no fit argue with am. Football don change, and e be like sey di current owners wan more money dan glory.
As dem dey face back dem chairman Levy, after sacking di man wey don make plenty people happy, where di club go go from here? Fans dey celebrate di Europa League win, while di board dey do wahala decisions wey fit turn dem back to mediocrity (we no fit talk sey dem wan go back to di old Tottenham wey sabi lose).
Di pressure don dey full Levy head as dem don set eyes on new managers to fill dat gap. If Postecoglou wey don bring glory fit pack, wetin go happen, when dem hire fresh manager? Na so modern football dey be now, glory na just fine words if e no go fit bring em di financial success? We dey watch, and we go see wetin go happen next!
