Manchester United legend Gary Neville has admitted that he would love to see Tottenham winning the English Premiership.
Since Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as manager of the North London club in 2014, he has managed to transform them from a modest outfit to one that can challenge for silverware on a regular basis.
The Lilywhites have narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League title during the past two seasons and in the process Pochettino has also helped the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen to become World class talents.
They have gained a lot of praise for their heroics especially considering that they do not have the financial muscle of many of the other Premier League heavyweights.
Neville has since said that he hopes to see them winning the League by saying, “The job that Pochettino is doing here and the team that he has is brilliant. It’s everything Tottenham were not during my football career – resilient, good to watch, robust defensively and with young players – English players too, which is always a bonus. Harry Winks was fantastic today and in the Bernabeu.
“Everything is right – it is a brilliant team, a brilliant coach, going into a new stadium and looking like they love playing with each other and with a connection to the fans. We have been quick over the years to criticise Daniel Levy and don’t offer praise when things are going right but he’s got a fantastic manager, a great youth set-up and now the youth players are being given a chance.
“People might say they don’t pay as well as other sides but maybe he’s running his club in a sustainable way and that’s an achievement.”I hope they can win the league because they play well enough to win the league but I think in the end it will be too much for them and that’s my honest opinion.”
