David Bentley says he has no problem with Juande Ramos and insists he remains fully behind the under-fire Tottenham boss.
Reports have suggested Bentley blamed Ramos for missing out on the current England squad for not playing him often enough and playing him out of position.
Bentley has failed to live up to expectations since his £15million move from Blackburn as Spurs have endured a nightmare start to the season.
The former Arsenal man admits he is shocked to see the side rooted to the bottom of the table and that they are laughing stock to the rest of the league.
"I'm fully behind him [Ramos], 100 per cent," Bentley said.
"I know people are having a laugh at the fact we are bottom of the league at the moment. But it's up to everyone at the club to stop the jokes.
"We have more than enough good players at Tottenham to get us out of this situation and I give my word that we will."
Tottenham have made their worst start to a season since 1912, but Bentley is confident they have the character in the squad to fight their way out of trouble.
"We're not happy with what has been happening," added Bentley.
"You cannot hide from the situation. But what we need are a team of leaders who take responsibility. We have to grow as people."
Bentley also claimed they could not use the exits of Robbie Keane to Liverpool and Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United as an excuse for their poor run of form.
"We can't blame their departures for our problems. That's too easy an excuse," concluded Bentley.
