Gareth Bale’s agent explains Tottenham and Jose Mourinho’s ‘biggest mistake’

Gareth Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett has revealed he told Jose Mourinho and Tottenham how to get the best out of his client as the possibility of a second season at the club is discussed. The Wales international returned to Spurs on loan for the season to much fanfare, however, struggled to make a consistent impact under Mourinho, making seven Premier League starts though scoring six goals before Ryan Mason was put in charge. When speaking to SNTV, his agent, Barnett said: "As I said to Spurs at the beginning: 'if you give him a run, put your trust in him, let him play his own game, not tell him he's got to do this and that, treat him like a [Lionel] Messi or a [Cristiano] Ronaldo - I’m not he's as good - and you'll see. "It's been proven that every time he's been left like that, he's gone and scored a lot goals. He's world class. "So that was the biggest mistake - I'm not going to blame anybody." Asked if he would blame Mourinho, Barnett replied: "Well, I wouldn't do that. He's a very successful coach... but Julius Caesar was also very good, but I don't think he would be very good with the armies now."
More on Bale's future, he added: "He's still one of the best players in the world, but he's only got four games left so we will have to see.
"It's a three-party discussion; it's us, Real Madrid and Tottenham. We have our views and we will let them know at the right time."
