A few days ago, Postecoglou admitted his suspicion that someone within Tottenham is leaking internal developments to the media, with the Australian coming to that conclusion after rumours of an injury to Wilson Odobert started surfacing online.
Since then, the Australian has explained that he thinks the leaks are adversely affecting his side by letting opposition teams know about more than they need to about the fitness of his players.
Since then, Postecoglou has made it clear that the Tottenham mole is not a player and explained that the club will deal with things internally once the leak is found.
Why Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham are convinced about the leaks
The Telegraph has now shed light on why those at the club are convinced that information is being leaked and are also relatively confident about where it is coming from.
Postecoglou believes that information regarding Spurs team news and injuries are regularly being shared with the press by a mystery club insider.
The reason he is convinced is that key terms and language being used in internal meetings about injuries are being repeated verbatim in the media.
This has helped the club narrow down their search for the leak and has completely discounted the players or any of their agents.
Postecoglou’s decision to go public is strategic
Normally, one would expect clubs to deal with matters like this internally rather than make it public.
However, on this occasion, there is clearly a method behind their decision, with Postecoglou and the club perhaps wanting to let the mole, as well as their contacts in the media, know that they are onto them.
The Australian will hope that this will perhaps reduce the leaks regarding injury news, especially given the huge games that the club now has coming up.
