It is Ange Postecoglou’s only regret since being asked to take over at Tottenham. “For the first time in, I reckon, it must be 20 years, I’ve had to pull out of the Fantasy Premier League,” said the Spurs manager. “I’m gutted about that.”
Sadly for his football-obsessed mates back in Melbourne who were hoping he could at least provide some inside information for their teams, Postecoglou is playing the game for real these days. Confirmation on Thursday that Harry Kane is leaving north London after Daniel Levy accepted an offer that could be worth more than £100m was not unexpected as the England captain had made no secret of his desire for a new challenge.
