Martin Jol has denied making remarks which criticised Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli.
The Dutchman had quotes attributed to him which questioned Comolli’s transfer policy and the way that the acquisition of new players was handled at White Hart Lane.
A spokesman for Jol has now denied the coach said anything to that effect, saying the comments did not come from him and have been wrongly credited to the former Spurs boss.
"These quotes are not attributable to Martin,” said the spokesman.
"We believe they come from articles in Holland which in the translation from Dutch to English have been reported as coming from Martin, but they did not."
Reports in English newspapers had quoted the 51-year-old as saying he felt the squad would be ‘unbalanced’ with the signings of players such as Younes Kaboul, Kevin Prince-Boateng and Adel Taarabt, and that he did not have the same relationship with Comolli as he had had with previous director Frank Arnesen.
