Keeping up with the times was a recurring theme from the moment Ange Postecoglou teased the journalists still using their bashed-up old Dictaphones for his press conference at Hotspur Way. “I love you old-school guys with your Dictaphones,” he said, grinning. “Just imagining you all at home with your typewriters.”
Newer does not always mean better, though, as Postecoglou and Pep Guardiola will know only too well after this season.
