While Postecoglou's crisis threatened to hit breaking point, Rodgers soared to new heights
'Send to Coventry' is an idiom used in England meaning to deliberately ostracise someone. Typically, this is done by not talking to them, avoiding their company, and acting as if they no longer exist.
The Aussie was literally sent to Coventry after the EFL Cup draw sent Tottenham to the home of the Sky Blues and he was staring into the abyss as they trailed before a late, late show rescued them. But that hasn't been enough to appease seething Spurs fans whose patience is being tested to the limit.
As Rodgers and his team were putting Slovan Bratislava to the sword in the revamped Champions League, Postecoglou was staring down the barrel of his greatest indignity yet since swapping the east of Glasgow for North London. His Tottenham team looked for all the world to be heading out the EFL Cup to Coventry City, a result that would surely have seen legitimate questions asked at boardroom level about his position.
Back in Glasgow, Celtic were running back the years to peak Angeball without him, racking up the goals to register their biggest ever Champions League win. While Postecoglou was digging out a reporter for criticising a 'flat' performance, a smiling Rodgers was saluting his five-star Hoops and cracking jokes about facing Bayern Munich in the final.
