Despite the concerns, it is unlikely that coach Enze Postecoglou will leave the team due to his stake in the Tottenham club.
The British Spurs Web reported on the 14th (Korea time) that Eddie Howe could be a substitute for Postecoglou in Tottenham.
Postecoglou recently mentioned the possibility of a shocking replacement. The start was about acquiring a stake in Tottenham. England's The Sun says: 'Amanda Staveley and the financiers would put Eddie Howe at the top of Tottenham's candidates if they acquired a stake in Tottenham. Staveley and wealthy backers want to buy a stake in Tottenham, and she's a big fan of Howe. Howe could come as an alternative candidate if things don't improve after Postecoglou's difficult start at Tottenham this season. However, it is taking some time to acquire the stake in Stabley. Howe said he is also currently interested in the England squad.

Staveley is already a famous acquisition expert in the English Premier League (EPL). From Sheikh Mansour's acquisition of Manchester City in the past to Saudi Arabian Capital's recent acquisition of Newcastle, there has always been a stabley in the process of Middle Eastern capital's acquisition of EPL clubs. The same was true of Tottenham's stake. Staveley, with Middle Eastern capital on his back, went out to take over some of the capital in Tottenham's club.
The Sun explained that `Tottenham's current value is £2.42 billion (about 4.27 trillion won), and Staveley is expected to need £650 million (about 1.14 trillion won) to acquire a 25% stake in the club.'

This is not the first time that Tottenham has been informed of the acquisition of its stake and the sale of the club. In October last year, there was news that Qatar would want to take over Tottenham's stake. Britain's Daily Express says Qatar's withdrawal from the race to buy Manchester United does not mean Qatar's money is not headed to the Premier League. Liverpool and Tottenham have already been linked to investments in Middle East capital over the past 12 months. Tottenham and Liverpool are currently Premier League clubs targeted by Qatar, according to the news. Tottenham had reportedly already discussed buying a minority stake with chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, while Fenway Sports Group (FSG) also said chairman John Henry was still looking for investment.
In February last year, it also received attention from US capital. The Financial Times reported that `Iranian-American billionaire Jam Najafi is preparing to buy Tottenham.' Officials said he is preparing a blockbuster offer worth $3.75 billion (W4.8 trillion) to buy Tottenham. MSP Sports Capital Chairman Najafi is working with a consortium of investors to systematize his bid plans. 'We will be in official contact with Tottenham owner Joe Lewis and chairman Daniel Levy within a few weeks...', it said, but no acquisition took place.

All of the previous cases were not made, but Staveley's interest could have been sufficiently made by the acquisition of the club's stake, so there were many prospects that Tottenham would face a change. A managerial change also seemed sufficiently possible as part of this change.
Howe, who is mentioned as a replacement for Postecoglou, is a young master who has already been recognized for his leadership on the EPL stage. Howe, who led Bournemouth, took over as Newcastle manager in the 2021-2022 season and led the team to the European Champions League. However, there have been rumors that he could leave the club due to a feud with Newcastle director Paul Mitchell and that he could be appointed as manager of the England national team.
If Postecoglou leaves, it will inevitably affect the current Tottenham squad and the players who will join Tottenham in the future. Son Heung-min, the current Tottenham captain and ace, is also a captain appointed by Postecoglou, and Son Heung-min's position and whether he maintains the captaincy may change.

The bigger problem is prospect Yang Min-hyuk, who is scheduled to join Tottenham in January. Yang Min-hyuk's transfer to Tottenham was announced in July. Yang Min-hyuk, who is playing in the K-League on re-lease in Gangwon Province, will head to Tottenham in January.
Postecoglou was a player who watched Yang Min-hyuk last summer with considerable interest in the Scout team. Although young, I got to be with a player with considerable talent. I'm looking forward to seeing the future performance. "I'm looking forward to joining the team as soon as possible and watching the player grow up." He did not hide his expectations for Yang Min-hyuk.
However, if Howe takes office, the plan for Yang Min-hyuk itself may be different. In European big clubs, it is not uncommon for prospects who join the club to not receive opportunities due to managerial changes. Yang Min-hyuk's highly anticipated transfer may not go as planned.

Fortunately, however, it is unlikely that Postecoglou will suddenly leave the club due to the acquisition of the stake. This is because there is the will of Chairman Daniel Levy.
Spursweb is discussing the possibility of Howe taking over after the stake in Staveley. However, it has been reported that Chairman Daniel Levy wants to maintain control over Tottenham. This minority investment is not a complete acquisition, which is why Chairman Levy will continue to decide who will take over as director. Postecoglou means he won't go anywhere' he explained that Postecoglou doesn't leave suddenly.
Along with the news of Tottenham's sudden acquisition of the stake, interest in Postecoglou's future has poured in. However, if Chairman Levi stays in his position, it will not be easy to make a huge change due to the acquisition of the stake.
