Simon Jordan has suggested that Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou is the only manager in the Premier League who’s liked by neutral supporters.

The Aussie has made quite the impact at Spurs after arriving from Celtic over the summer.

Ange Postecoglou currently has Tottenham battling it out for a place in the top four after the club had missed out on Europe altogether for the first time since 2009 last term. 

While Spurs’ improvements on the pitch have been evident, Postecoglou has also impressed during interviews and press conferences.

The Tottenham boss has been received well in the Premier League and Simon Jordan believes neutral supporters have taken to Postecoglou.

Jordan on Postecoglou’s impact at Tottenham

Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan responded after a fan suggested that neutral supporters dislike Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta. 

“The only one who creates a feeling of general well-being most of the time is probably Postecoglou right now,” he said. 

“But that’s because Spurs are playing a brand of football and not winning anything so everyone’s quite happy with that. When you start challenging…”

Danny Murphy then asked: “You mean the way he conducts himself?”

“Yeah, that’s my point,” Jordan added. “He doesn’t create a reaction in neutral fans or fans of the opposition.”

It’s fair to say that Postecoglou has come across as a down-to-earth and likeable character. That is probably a big reason as to why he is generally liked by neutral fans across the league. 

Of course, Jordan makes a great point that this could change swiftly should Spurs start picking up major silverware.

But for the time being, Tottenham fans will be enjoying the journey under Postecoglou, regardless of what opposition fans think of their manager.

Spurs face a difficult trip to Craven Cottage on Saturday and will be hoping to build on their emphatic 4-0 win at Villa Park.
