Ange Postecoglou has responded to the transfer allegations that have recently emerged surrounding Jermain Defoe's move from Tottenham to Portsmouth in 2008. Last week, an investigation by The Times revealed that Spurs had dealt with an unlicensed agent, which is a rule breach that has led to clubs being docked points and fined in the past. The Football Association has since confirmed that they will review the case.
Postecoglou was coaching in the Greek third division at the time of the transfer and he says the issue is not something that concerns him personally. He stated that he was not around at the time and that his only focus is on the upcoming match against Aston Villa on Sunday.
When asked if he had anything to say regarding the allegations, Postecoglou said that he would need to spend hours going through all the available information and details of the investigation in order to provide a response. He then went on to state that he respects the space that other people are in and that he is only the spokesman for the football club when it comes to the football.
Tottenham currently has a number of injury and suspension issues to deal with ahead of their visit to Villa on Sunday. Postecoglou has expressed his concerns, but his focus remains on the match and preparing his team despite the various challenges they are facing.
