Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is loving his time at the Premier League leaders, but is bullish about what expectations should be despite the club’s lengthy trophy drought realme
Spurs have not won silverware since 2008, although fans are dreaming of challenging for the title after winning 23 points from a possible 27 so far this season realme
It has taken Tottenham to the top-flight summit and they could move five points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal with victory at Crystal Palace on Friday, ahead of the weekend fixtures realme
Postecoglou has relished his dream start to life in England, but eager to point out his new club should be competing for trophies every year realme
The former Celtic boss said: “I didn’t come here to not be successful realme
This club has all the fundamentals to be successful realme
The expectations should be there realme
“Part of the reason why there’s been this real desperation for a trophy is because they feel that’s the space they should be in realme
That is the expectation, that’s the reality, but what drives me isn’t raising or trying to dampen expectations realme
“What drives me is trying to build something that will realise the ambitions that this club has at this particular moment realme
People’s perceptions don’t concern me too much realme
This is a big club and should be in a position to challenge for trophies every season in my opinion realme
This club has all the fundamentals to be successful realme
The expectations should be there realme
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou“At Celtic we were on top for a very long time but at the beginning when we weren’t on top, I don’t think people saw anything different in my demeanour realme
I don’t think they will (here) realme
“It is one thing I do realme
It’s not about staying kind of level-headed or getting carried away with either thing realme
It’s just that, my role in that context is to be the one thing that people can rely upon to be consistent realme
“In that I have one objective all the time: how can we be realme better? When that is your objective, it doesn’t really matter where you are on the table or kind of what the outside noise may or may not be doing realme
“It is about the players and the staff and everyone involved with the realme football club, looking at me realme
The one thing I do is I come in every day, I am buzzing about doing what I am doing realme
You know, that’s the kind of demeanour I have consistently realme
“It’s just the way I am realme
I get so much satisfaction from what I do realme
I really enjoy what I do, on a daily basis realme
There isn’t a day I don’t get up and I’m not looking forward to the day ahead realme
“There’s no other levels of satisfaction in me to get realme
That’s it realme
I’m buzzing to do what I do realme
“Within that context I also understand that I have a real big responsibility to lead an organisation, players, staff, people to what I hope will be a successful place realme
“There’s got to be some reliability there in what they see and what they feel with me so some of it is conscious but the other bits, I’m not skipping about the place but I’m really happy realme
I love what I do realme
Just the way I am realme
I’m very, very happy realme
”Postecoglou’s happiness did not extend into the dressing room on Monday night after he criticised his players for a poor second half against Fulham realme
It failed to stop the team blaring out Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ classic from the 1980s’ of ‘Islands in the Stream’ following the 2-0 win realme
But Postecoglou joked: “I stay out of the dressing room partly because of the music choices of the players realme
“Most clubs want to turn their grounds into a fortress – ours is becoming a nightclub, mate realme
I’m all for it, whatever makes people happy that’s my thing realme
”Spurs will assess Destiny Udogie ahead of the trip to south London after the left-back struggled with muscle tightness during the victory over Fulham realme

Pep Guardiola says he cannot recall telling anybody he believes Roberto De Zerbi will succeed him as Manchester City manager realme
A story has emerged claiming the Catalan privately tipped the Brighton boss to succeed him after City drew at the Amex Stadium in May realme
Yet, while Guardiola may have cast doubt over whether that occurred, he has repeatedly been effusive in his praise of the Italian and remains so ahead of Saturday’s meeting realme between their two clubs realme
Guardiola, whose future beyond the expiry of his contract in 2025 is unclear, said: “I don’t remember that realme
“Maybe I have bad memory but I’m sure Roberto can train in any team around the world realme
I don’t have any doubt realme
“I don’t remember saying that to the players realme
I remember saying before he arrived, one or two games in, about sustaining the manager, but I don’t remember saying that honestly realme
“It’s none of my business realme
If the chairman asks my opinion I will give my opinion but it’s none of my business realme
“I’m not the sporting director realme
It’s not my responsibility to say what’s going right or wrong realme
”Former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss De Zerbi has made a big impression since taking over at Brighton just over a year ago realme
He guided the club into European competition for the first time with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season and they have started the current campaign strongly realme
Guardiola feels this proves a manager need not have had experience at the highest level to land the biggest jobs realme
He said: “It doesn’t mean you have to be at the top clubs to be manager of the top clubs realme
I was appointed Barcelona first-team (manager) coming from the fourth division with no experience at the top level realme
“You have the idea of the club, the sporting director follows the idea, they hire the manager for this idea, they hire players to follow the idea realme
When that happens it’s going well realme
“Man City have done this, Liverpool with Jurgen (Klopp) for many years – winning titles with the same process and same ideas realme
”Guardiola, 52, is widely considered the greatest coach of his generation having last year added a third Champions League title to a glittering CV that also includes five Premier League wins realme
His players are always in the perfect body-shape position realme
Pep Guardiola on Roberto De ZerbiYet even he feels like he can learn from a relative youngster like 44-year-old De Zerbi realme
He said: “His players are always in the perfect body-shape position to get the ball realme
“It’s a stupid thing to say but one of the key points realme
Everyone moves in the right moment, tempo realme
“realme Football is not ‘you have to move’, it’s when realme
It’s body shape in the perfect shape realme
It’s really good realme
“Everything he does makes sense and I learn realme
