Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says he's loving the "scrutiny" he's under as a Premier League manager.

Postecoglou insists he's been chasing such a spotlight since his time in Melbourne, Australia.

"Supporters have a right to have a say," he said. "And if they feel I have somehow fallen short, then they are allowed to say it.

"But I'm also allowed not to pay any attention to it. Not that I don't respect it, I just don't think it is relevant to me.

"Even when people were saying good things about me I wasn't paying attention then either.

"Japan was four years of bliss for me - I couldn't understand the language and couldn't read the papers, it was a beautiful existence.

"Yeah [the scrutiny is intense] but I love that mate," he added.

"You have got to understand where I come from -- I craved this. When I was in Australia, irrespective of what I achieved there it was barely going to raise a ripple. All I wanted was attention -- the right sort of attention where everything I did was scrutinised."
