Venables blasts 'poisonous' Berbatov

Former Tottenham manager Terry Venables has laid the blame for the club’s dire start to the season squarely at Dimitar Berbatov’s door, bemoaning the Bulgarian’s “poisonous presence” at the beginning of the campaign.

Berbatov started the season at White Hart Lane but was clear in his desire to realise a ’dream’ move to current club Manchester United.
