Ghosting by both employers and employees in the application process has been written about a lot recently, but I was yet to hear of employers ghosting their own employees. Until it happened to me.

The "greatest card of all time" was stacked from head-to-toe and didn't disappoint with Smith v Buatsi, Madrimov v Ortiz Jr. and Kabayel v Zhang all proving superb contests. Joseph Parker dispatched Martin Bakole with ease to prove he must be next in line for a world title shot.

Instead, he must fully back Ange by building the squad depth necessary to play Angeball's high intensity style three times per week. He must overhaul Spurs' wage structure so they can compete with the elite clubs and he must fully delegate negotiating to those running recruitment

Criticism and protests aren't a new experience for Levy. However, he's usually been able to quell them by sacking the manager, leading to a resurgence in Spurs' on the field fortunes. This time feels different. Sacking Postecoglou will only intensify calls for him to go.

I've written here about the similarities between both philosophies and the need for Spurs to keep the faith with Postecoglou through the toughest period of his managerial career: www.jaspergoddard.com/en/articles/...
