So here we are again. Another manager gets the boot right after delivering what everyone wanted.

Ange Postecoglou is weighing up a fat Saudi Arabia offer – and honestly, who can blame him? The 59-year-old Aussie got absolutely shafted by Tottenham earlier this month, despite finally breaking their trophy curse that had been haunting North London since 2008. Seventeen years. Let that sink in.

The Saudis Come Knocking (With Briefcases Full of Cash)

Al-Ahli are sniffing around Postecoglou like vultures, ready to pounce if their current boss Matthias Jaissle decides to bail. The German's future is murky at best, even though he just guided them to the AFC Champions League title last month. That's Saudi football for you – win everything and still worry about your job security.

Ivan Toney's up front for Al-Ahli now, which... good for him, I guess? From Brentford to the desert. What a journey.

But Wait, There's More

The thing is, Postecoglou isn't just sitting around waiting for Saudi Arabia to make it rain. Multiple clubs across England and Europe have been sliding into his DMs (metaphorically speaking). The man's got options, and he knows it.

Word is he'd prefer another shot at the Premier League. Can't say I blame him – getting sacked 16 days after winning your first trophy in nearly two decades would leave anyone with unfinished business.

The Bilbao Miracle That Meant Nothing

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Postecoglou beat Manchester United in Bilbao, ended Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought, and got fired anyway. Daniel Levy's decision-making continues to baffle everyone who follows this sport.

Thomas Frank's already been announced as his replacement. Poor guy doesn't know what he's walking into.

Ange's Classy Exit

The Australian didn't throw his toys out of the pram, though. His farewell message was pure class: "When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride."

He went on: "The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back teh glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget."

"That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream."

What Happens Next?

Postecoglou's not rushing into anything, which is smart. The Saudi money's tempting – we're probably talking stupid amounts here – but he's got time to weigh his options.

My gut feeling? He'll hold out for the right Premier League opportunity. The man's got something to prove now, adn nothing motivates like getting stabbed in the back after delivering success.

Football's a weird business. Win a trophy, get sacked. Lose everything, somehow keep your job. Makes perfect sense, right?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine the Premier League champion?

The Premier League's winner is the club that accumulates the greatest number of points during the season of 38 games. Three points are awarded for each win, while one point is given for a tie and none for a defeat. In the event of teams finishing the season with the same number of points, the champion is determined by goal difference, and if necessary, the number of goals scored. If there is still a tie, the winner may be decided by a playoff, which can take place at a neutral location. This scenario, however, has never happened in Premier League history.

What is Premier League football?

The Premier League is England's top football league and one of its most popular and competitive leagues. It is contested by 20 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL). The teams play 38 matches each year (home and abroad), with the season running typically from August until May. The Premier League is renowned for its international star players and high-quality soccer.

What happens to the Premier League teams that finish in the bottom half?

The bottom three teams in each Premier League are relegated, and this is done at the end of every season. The Championship, or second tier, of English football, takes their place. In their place, two of the top teams from the Championship and the winner of Championship playoffs will be promoted to the Premier League.

How has the Premier League changed since its inception?

Since its founding in 1992, there have been many changes in the Premier League. It started with a breakaway of the Football League for a lucrative TV rights deal. Since then, it has grown into a global sporting phenomenon, attracting top talent from all over the world, undergoing branding changes, and experiencing massive increases in revenue. The league's advancements have also been made in the fields of sports science and technology.

What is the function of the video assistant referee (VAR), in the Premier League?

The Premier League uses the Video Assistant Referee, or VAR, system to assist referees on the field in making correct decisions. This includes goals, penalties, incidents involving direct red cards, and misidentification. The VAR watches the video footage of the incident, and then advises the match referee. This referee can choose to watch a replay before making the final call. The system is designed to reduce human error that can affect the outcome of matches.
