Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou says he is not interested in how the decision to appeal against Rodrigo Bentacur's seven-game domestic ban for a racist slur looks to the outside world.
The Australian manager said he has "made worse mistakes" and believes education is the way forward with the 27-year-old midfielder, rather than a "harsh" punishment.
Spurs are hoping to have the Uruguayan's ban reduced from seven games to the six-game minimum for a discrimination-related offence.
