      Ange Postecoglou set for massive payday whether Daniel Levy sacks him as Tottenham boss or not

      by

      ANGE POSTECOGLOU is set for a HUGE payday whether he remains Tottenham manager or not.Postecoglou finally ended Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought with a narrow 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final.Ange Postecoglou will land a healthy bonus for winning the Europa League on Wednesday nightCredit: GettyBut rumour has it that Postecoglou could still lose his job regardless of qualifying for the Champions League after their big win.His horror Premier League form, where Spurs lag 17th in the table, has been too much to bare for sections of fans.But Postecoglou can look forward to a massive pay-packet before any decision is made about his future.This is because chairman Daniel Levy will sign off a £2m bonus to the Aussie for lifting the club’s first European trophy since 1984.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSWhile, Levy would also face a mega compensation bill if he were to sack the 59-year-old, who joined in the summer of 2023.Asked directly about his future, Postecoglou said: “No, no planned meetings. I haven’t had any discussions, no one has spoken to me about anything.“Maybe they felt like they don’t need to or they were waiting for this game. “What I do know is, I’ll go back to my hotel room, get my family and friends together, open up a nice bottle of scotch, have a couple of quiet ones, get ready for a massive parade on Friday, play Brighton on Sunday.

Postecoglou unrecognisable in amazing throwback video as first club share emotional 3-minute tribute after Europa LeagueAnd the squad have backed Postecoglou to stay after Brennan Johnson bundled in the only goal against United in Bilbao.Postecoglou was widely mocked when he made the bold claim earlier in Spurs’ largely dismal campaign that he “always” wins silverware in his second season.Sergio Reguilon and James Maddison posed with a fan’s banner showing a picture of the Aussie and his fateful words: “I don’t usually win things, I ALWAYS win things in my second year.”But Tottenham will compete in Europe’s elite competition next season for the first time since 2022/23.That means there could be an extra £100m in the coffers thanks to prize money, TV revenue and additional sponsorships.Spurs’ Europa League win saw them scoop a £10.95m cash prize from Uefa.Tottenham’s qualification mean there will be six English teams competing in the Champions League next season.Tottenham ratings: Bissouma dominates Europa League final as occasion gets to UdogieBRENNAN JOHNSON was Tottenham’s hero as they finally ended their 17-year trophy drought in the Europa League final.Despite being without James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski for the clash in Bilbao, Spurs came up with a massive win against Manchester United.Johnson scored the goal as he helped bundle in from a corner in a tussle with Luke Shaw to send fans into dreamland.But Spurs also owe a huge thanks to Yves Bissouma who was totally dominant in midfield.At the other end, Destiny Udogie struggled to get up to the pace of the match as he was up against Manchester United’s Amad Diallo.Spurs had just three shots, only 27 per cent of the ball, and completed a mere 115 passes over 90 minutes.But it didn’t matter, as United never really looked like finding a leveller to take it to extra time.SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson gave his ratings for the Tottenham players…Man Utd vs Spurs – Europa League final: Kick-off time, TV channel and live stream info for Bilbao clash More

Aston Villa and Newcastle sit on the same points as the Blues, with Man City a further two points clear of them.Chelsea know only a win will guarantee a top five spot, with Villa’s goal difference a mile behind theirs.Villa play a rather desperate Manchester United side at Old Trafford, with Newcastle at home to Everton and Manchester City at Fulham.Forest have done superbly well to keep themselves in contention going into the final day and know only a win will do for them, before they’re left to rely on other teams and their results.First scorer and correct score predictionsCorrect score: 1-1 at 6/1 with Betfred – HEREFirst scorer: Noni Madueke 15/2 with talkSPORT BET – HERENottm Forest vs Chelsea latest oddsNottm Forest at 19/10 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.How to claim..William Hill £60 welcome bonusVisit the William Hill website HERE*Register an account using the Promo Code: T60Once your account is registered, click ‘opt in’ on the ‘Vegas Promotion’ pageDeposit a minimum of £10 in your main account to receive a £20 Vegas Bonus for use on Selected GamesThen place a bet with a minimum stake of £10 at odds of 1/2 or greater on any football marketOnce that’s settled, your account will be credited with £40 in free betsWilliam Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Nottm Forest vs Chelsea predictionsCan’t split themTwo teams going at it after a long hard season, with both needing a win.It has draw written all over it.Forest defensively have been solid for the most part this season until recently, while Chelsea’s threat in front of goal the last three games has been non-existent.
