Ange Postecoglou ditches Tottenham fan message as ex Celtic boss has 'no interest who is behind me'

Bullish Ange Postecoglou insists he doesn't care if he has the support of the fans as pressure mounts on the Tottenham boss.

The former Celtic Treble-winner was involved in a heated confrontation with diehards last night as toothless Spurs crashed to a 1-0 defeat away to Bournemouth. Footage online shows furious punters heckling and booing the dejected Aussie as the struggling North London club slid into tenth spot in the Premier League.

Postecoglou refused to go into detail about the angry exchange last night but admitted he understood the supporters' frustrations amid an inconsistent run of form. The 59-year-old now faces a monumental game this weekend against rivals Chelsea and asked on Friday if he felt he had the backing of the fanbase he said: "They are not behind me mate, they are behind the club.

"I have got no interest on who is behind me. Last night, you've got to figure the ones who travelled to Bournemouth are fairly hardcore supporters, they weren't happy with what they saw and felt like they had to give some feedback. I took the feedback on board and we move on."

The Aussie declined a request to send a message to fans, saying: "As I said last night, no messages. I'm here, I'm going to fight to make sure we bring success to this football club. Nothing really changes. Where there's doubt, whether that's internally or externally, that just gives my resolve even stronger to make sure we get it right."

He added: "The supporters are the supporters, they are invested into this club. Whoever is in charge or whoever the playing group is, they will feel how they feel. Whether they see what we're trying to do or can't see what we're trying to do, I can't change that materially without there being evidence on the pitch
