Tottenham boss Postecoglou: I wouldn't call this a honeymoon period

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has scoffed at claims he's enjoying a honeymoon period.

Postcoglou has seen his Spurs players respond instantly to his methods so far after his summer arrival from Celtic.

He said, “I don't know what your honeymoon was like, but mine didn't involve losing the greatest player in the history of this football club [Harry Kane] on the eve of the transfer window — me trying to scramble to get players into the club, fighting for everything I do.

“I'm well aware, after 28 years, of the pitfalls of management, trust me. I've gone into this with my eyes wide open. Your radar is always up. When things aren't going well, you're thinking: 'Are guys going to respond in the right way?'. And when things are going well, you're thinking: 'Are we getting complacent?'"
