You want good people and when you&#8217;ve got good people they&#8217;re going to attract attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018From my perspective, whatever that transpires to, it&#8217;s very much in Chris&#8217; hands. It&#8217;s his decision in terms of what he wants to do moving forward and obviously the club will deal with it from there.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/13\/78683891-12841805-Tottenham_rebuffed_an_approach_from_Swansea_for_their_senior_ass-a-2_1702042000051.jpg\" height=\"566\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ange Postecoglou has hinted that his assistant Chris Davies (pictured) could still join Swansea<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/13\/78737233-12841805-image-a-3_1702042064826.jpg\" height=\"466\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou wants to keep hold of Davies but admits it is now in his assistant&#8217;s hands<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham hope Heung-min Son will be available to face Newcastle on Sunday. \u2018He was a bit sore after the game obviously but the extent of it, we&#8217;ll need to see how he recovers today,\u2019 Postecoglou said.<\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou did add that he will never look to make excuses for Tottenham\u2019s recent five-game streak of taking a 1-0 lead, only to fail to win.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I&#8217;ve always been relaxed,\u2019 Postecoglou added. \u2018Part of my role to develop staff and I am really proud of the fact a lot of the guys I&#8217;ve worked with, the reason they are not with me as assistants is because they are senior managers in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you are looking for things that will be disruptive, you can use that as a clutch or an excuse for anything. We lost Harry Kane the day before the season started so there is a disruption. We lost half the squad after one game so there is a disruption. There will always be this.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You can&#8217;t work in a vacuum where everything is perfect and for me I have been relaxed in these kind of situations because I have always believed the environment will cover whatever challenges we have if we get it right.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Postecoglou will go up against Eddie Howe, who declined the Celtic job before it was given to the Australian. \u2018Sliding doors moment,\u2019 Postecoglou admitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There&#8217;s probably been no bigger decision in me being here today than Eddie knocking back the Celtic job. I haven&#8217;t thanked him. I probably should.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/13\/78737263-12841805-image-a-4_1702042116894.jpg\" height=\"442\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou goes up against Eddie Howe on Sunday, the man who declined the Celtic job before Postecoglou took it in 2021<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12841805\/Ange-Postecoglou-hints-highly-rated-assistant-Chris-Davies-join-Swansea-despite-Tottenham-rejecting-approach-faces-disruption-five-games-without-win.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ange Postecoglou hints that his highly-rated assistant Chris Davies could still join Swansea despite Tottenham rejecting their first approach&#8230;
