Romero will join Tottenham permanently in 2022 after a season-long loan from Atalanta. Say “something went wronghopefully they (the board) realize that,” when discussing other clubs’ spending compared to Tottenham’s.
Postkoglu said: “He realized that a lot of what he said was good, but some of it was not the right way to handle it. Just like I would not criticize players publicly.”
“I’ve spoken to Christian about it and he apologized for it. It wasn’t the right thing to do. It shows he cares. There are ways to do it, but not like this.”
