'You paved the way despite the many obstacles' - Romero's cryptic tribute
- Published
Just an hour after Tottenham's appointment of Thomas Frank was confirmed, vice-captain Cristian Romero posted a message to his former boss Ange Postecoglou on social media, external.
It included the line: "You paved the way despite the many obstacles that always existed and always will exist."
Some supporters have viewed this as a shot at Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who chose to sack Postecoglou despite him winning the Europa League and ending the club's 17-year trophy drought.
During the trophy parade in north London, Postecoglou made headlines by saying in the best TV shows "series three is always better than season two", hinting at his future at the club.
Several Tottenham players posted tributes to the Australian coach following confirmation of his departure, but it is the timing - and reference to many obstacles that "always existed and always will exist" - that has caused speculation.
"Beyond everything, we won a trophy and went down in the history of this beautiful club, which is the only thing that matters," Romero added.
"I wish you the best because you deserve the best, and thank you for everything."
