Darren Bent admits Tottenham training was "horrible" before the arrival of new gaffer Harry Redknapp.

"At one stage the training ground was a horrible place to be," he said. "Everyone was down but since Harry has come in everyone has had a new lease of life. That has shown in the performances.

"It wasn't nice before. Ramos came in and banished a lot of players to the reserves because he didn't want them.

"But Harry has made everyone feel welcome and that's the respect you've got to show people.

"If you show them that respect, they will do what we've done on the pitch and get results.

"I never really got to know Ramos. He's a good manager, there is no debating that, but some things work and some things don't.

"Sitting at the bottom of the table shows it didn't work with him. With Harry coming in, the proof is in the pudding.

"The one thing Harry has done in contrast with Juande to spark the revival is use people skills.

"He has made us believe that we're good players and that we shouldn't be where we are, whereas with Juande and the Spanish, it was a bit hard.

"The players now believe in how good we are and how we can progress in this league.

"Harry can talk to people one to one and have a proper conversation with them and know what he's going on about."
