“I have to make this clear to everyone”-Postecoglou explains Spurs culture and the magic behind his transfer phone calls

With the phrase “I have to make this clear to everyone” in his transfer phone calls, Postecoglou elucidates Spurs culture;
Among Ange Postecoglou’s first orders of business upon joining Tottenham was to establish ground rules for how players and staff should conduct themselves toward one another.

Many have focused on Postecoglou’s impact on Spurs’ style of play, praising his rapid transformation of the Lilywhites from a conservative to a progressive side. However, the Australian has also presided over a change in club culture since joining the club.

Although it wasn’t always the case in prior seasons, the players’ body language now makes it clear that Hotspur Way has a genuine family vibe.
“There are certain values I uphold really strongly, not just around football but the way you treat people and making sure you respect everyone you share that space with,” Postecoglou told INews when questioned about the cultural shift. I aspired to create an atmosphere where individuals could step in and instantly feel connected to our work.

I try my best to get along with everyone in the building, even though it’s not easy because it’s a big organization; after all, everyone is important. And if you do that, people will take note, and maybe the feeling will spread throughout the establishment.
The phone conversation with Ange
The 58-year-old has also been successful in swaying the decisions of multiple transfer targets to choose Spurs over other clubs, all thanks to his exceptional communication skills. Talks with the former Celtic manager were pivotal in the decision-making process for nearly all of Tottenham’s new signings.
Postecoglou said, “I just try and be myself,” when asked about his approach when meeting with prospective signings. Aside from the footballer, I make sure I’m talking to the right person before I have that conversation [to convince a player to join].

“The footballer, his attributes are obvious to all. What matters most is the individual. I will be completely at ease once I have a firm grasp on that and fully comprehend my audience.

“When someone takes the time to get to know you and your background, and then tries to paint a picture of how they’ll fit in, most people appreciate it.”Not only do I think they’re a talented footballer, but I also envision them playing a significant role in this. If they decide to join us, the manager will have a good idea of my character and my abilities on the field.

Ange was the unifier that Spurs needed at the end of Conte’s tenure because the locker room was so fractured; he did an excellent job of uniting the team and winning over the fans.
