Fate Sealed: Tottenham Boss Set to Leave at End of Season Irrespective of Europa League Success
Why beleaguered Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou is set to end ties with the club at the end of the season.
Neither Spurs nor United, languishing in 16th and 15th in the Premier League, are likely to secure European qualification through their league positions.
Postecoglou didn't hold back when asked about Wenger's comments.
“Well, I mean that’s a debate that’s been raging for years, like at least the last eight days,” he said with a smirk.
“I’ve never heard that before, so… I’ve said it before, mate, Spurs does crazy things to people. It does, it does. You put that club into any sentence or any issue, and invariably, they all come out and try and diminish as much as they can.
"Why wasn’t there an issue before, and it’s an issue now? What’s the difference?
"He’s one of the legends of the game, but it does crazy things to people, mate, I love it. I love it, bring it on. It’s going to upset people, so that makes me happy.”
