Leyton Orient's manager Richie Wellens has publicly apologized for a regrettable comment he made regarding Tottenham Hotspur's manager Ange Postecoglou, following a 1-0 defeat against Stockport. Wellens remarked he would not make excuses for injuries like Postecoglou did, triggering backlash. Realizing the inappropriateness of his words, he later expressed embarrassment and regret, emphasizing the strong relationship between the two clubs. Wellens praised Postecoglou as a world-class coach and sought to mend any potential damage to the relationship, as Tottenham players are currently on loan with Leyton Orient.
I'm not going to make excuses, I'm not Ange Postecoglou.
I made a stupid comment about Tottenham Hotspur. That comment was brought to my attention later in the evening.
I am deeply embarrassed and regret what I said. At Leyton Orient we have a strong relationship with Tottenham Hotspur.
Ange Postecoglou is a world-class coach and I want to apologise for my comments.
