Sports agent Jonathan Barnett has rarely been shy about sharing his opinion about his long-time client Gareth Bale.
He was at it again during the Financial Times’ Business of Football event, but on this occasion may well have put his foot in it.
Bale has failed miserably to make an impact at Spurs since returning to the club on loan from Real Madrid last September.
His efforts have infuriated Jose Mourinho, with the Spurs manager making no secret of how unhappy he is with Bale.
The latest state-of-play undoubtedly mirrors the Welsman’s fall from grace at Madrid under Zinedine Zidane.
