“I need to apologise to Mike Dean, I cannot behave in that way. It is not the way to behave and I am going to accept the charge. “My behaviour was public and now I want to apologise in a public way. I need to apologise to him and all of the officials.”Dean’s comments allegedly caused Pochettino to clash with the referee, but the Argentine would not reveal what the official said to him on the pitch.“No, all that happened on the pitch stays on there,” he continued.5

Dean’s comments will remain unknown to the public

“I think that is the most important, we need to accept that we are with our emotion.“For me it’s not important, I don’t take it personally. When your heart rate is so high you need to be careful how you take words. All that happened on the pitch, I’ll never translate off it.”Dean was due to be fourth official for Tottenham’s Premier League trip to Chelsea on Wednesday, but he has been moved to Manchester City’s home fixture against West Ham following Saturday’s incident.
