It has been a horrific league campaign and Ange Postecoglou's job in N17 has been hanging by a thread for some time now, given the Lilywhites' plight.

That thread has come in the , however. Tottenham have a massive semi-final clash coming up in the next couple of weeks against Norwegian surprise package Bodo/Glimt.

are just three games away from winning their first piece of silverware since 2008. With it would come a place in next season's too.

Given they are up against Bodo/Glimt - the first time a Norwegian team have ever made it to the last four of a European competition - Spurs are favourite to lift the trophy in May.

That puts Levy in a difficult position. A trophy is what the supporters have craved for so many years and Postecoglou could deliver it. However, there is no getting away from the atrocious league form.

Postecoglou has been under pressure for many months now and there is a growing feeling that no matter what happens in the Europa League, he may well be relieved of his position at the club.

But the difficult decisions do not end there. Who replaces the Australian if he is to leave?

A certain Mauricio Pochettino would be a firm favourite, given he has openly said on more than one occasion that he feels he has unfinished business at Spurs and would like to return one day.

When asked who fans would like to see in charge of Spurs next season, Postecoglou won out, with 36% of the vote. Pochettino was next with 27% of the vote.

However, what was stark about the voting was that no other names got anywhere near those two, with vots spread thinkly amongst the rest of the linked bosses.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank got 13% of the votes, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola got 6%, while Oliver Glasner got 4% and Marco Silva and Kieran McKenna got 3%. The option of 'someone else' also took 4% of the vote, suggesting the market is wide open and there are not too many standout candidates out there to replace Postecoglou if the decision is taken to part ways with him.

Whatever happens, things cannot get worse in the Premier League than they have been this season. If they were, Spurs would be relegated.
