The former Crystal Palace chairman believes but it's not a universal opinion after recent setbacks.
Simon Jordan believes Ange Postecoglou has exceeded expectations in his first season as Tottenham boss – but a former Spurs star has rued a familiar tale of woe in North London.
Tottenham now trail Aston Villa by seven points with two games in hand in the race for Champions League football. Speaking to Gambling Zone, Gallas said: " It’s always the same thing. If you’re a top club and you don’t qualify for a place in the Champions League, then you have failed. It’s as simple as that. When we spoke about Tottenham at the beginning of the season, Champions League qualification would have been the target.
"You need to be really committed to be able to do this over the course of a season and you need a deeper squad because those physical demands are so high. It’s impossible to play with that intensity for a 38-game season when your squad isn’t deep enough, and that is why Tottenham’s results haven’t been as positive in the second half of the season. The group looks like it is running out of steam.
And outspoken Jordan – an advocate of Postecoglou since his Celtic days – believes the next step for the 58-year-old is hunting down silverware. Speaking in his Daily Mail column, he said: "The feelgood factor he has generated this season, however, will soon be extinguished if he is unable to replace that with a more accomplished, mature approach. The goodwill and magnificent support he has received from fans will pivot at some point into, 'OK, now we need to win'.
