When asked by talkSPORT about the Spurs rumours, Dyche laughed: 'Ah, it's brilliant, honestly. I was in the pub and this guy goes, 'Ah, you're meant to be in talks with Spurs tonight?' And I say, 'I'm sat next to you having a pint of Guinness, so it's unlikely, unless you work for Spurs!'
Igor Tudor on his decision not to use Xavi Simons: When asked about Simons in his press conference, Tudor made it clear that even if the former Leipzig man was a major signing for the club, he currently felt he couldn't start him as he was simply doing his best for the team.
Billed far and wide across the media as a fire-fighter upon his arrival, Tudor has proved quite the opposite, taking no time at all to torch his own reputation as a coach and leader, along with whatever sort of positive relationship he might have fostered with Tottenham's players and fans.
