Hamburg coach Martin Jol insists he isn't bitter over the way he was forced out of Tottenham.

Jol told Sky Sports News: "They have got probably a worse situation that I had last year.

"I had to play with Chimbonda at left-back, Tainio at right-back and Kaboul - they have got Woodgate and Gareth Bale and all these players, they are star players - it is a total different situation from a year ago."

Jol does admit it took him a little time to get over his axing but admits he has no hard feelings.

He added: "I wish them all the best, but of course it took me one or two months.

"They won the Carling Cup with that team, which was good I thought but they changed it - and that is there responsibility but as I said I wish them all the best."
