Tottenham boss is dispirited after his team lost its chances of qualifying for the Champions League football next season
Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou said the club's foundations are "really fragile" after Tuesday's defeat by Manchester City ended their hopes of Champions League football.
Ange Postecoglou's side needed to beat City at home to keep their UCL hopes alive but lost 2-0.
"The foundations are really fragile," the Australian said. "The last 48 hours have shown me that.
"It's inside the club, outside the club. Outside, inside, everywhere. It's been an interesting exercise. It's just my observations, mate."

The atmosphere at the stadium was noticeably flat, and when Postecoglou was asked whether this influenced his players, he said:
"Of course it does. It is what it is. I can't dictate what people do.
"They're allowed to express themselves any way they want. But yeah, when we've got late winners in games it's because the crowd's helped us."
When asked about the Spurs fans' chants, Postecoglou replied:
"I'm not interested, mate. I just don't care. Maybe I'm out of step, but I just don't care, I just want to win.
"I want to be successful at this football club, it's why I was brought in. So what other people, how they want to feel, and what their priorities are, are of zero interest to me.
"I know what's important to build a winning team - that's what I need to concentrate on."
