Postecoglou told The Standard: I hope so, or why am I doing what I'm doing? That's why I came to the club.
As somebody said to me last week, 'Just do your job, Ange'.
And my job is to try to bring success - and if you don't think you're going to be in the title race in 12 months' time, then I don't know why I'm here."
