Terry Venables has blamed Berbatov behaviour and attitude at the beginning of the season for Tottenham’s poor start to the league as the Bulgarian tried to secure a move to Manchester United.
“Berbatov kept telling us he had ‘a dream’. Well, good for you Dimi. You had a dream with a few extra noughts added to your bank balance,”
“But did Spurs have a dream too? You got your way but your poisonous presence at the start of the season – the brooding and the reluctance to play – has cost the club that believed in you.”
Spurs have only 2 points from their first 6 league matches and lie bottom of the table. The start of the season for spurs was dominated by the speculation surrounding Berbatov with there being a debate whether or not to lay the want away striker.
Venables believed that selling Keane with no replacement ready was a huge mistake.
“They thought they were going to get Andrei Arshavin,” “This was a massive managerial blunder by Spurs, especially when they had allowed Keane to leave. But letting Berbatov and Keane go without having Arshavin in the bag was a boardroom blunder.”
