Juande Ramos is unconcerned about his tenure as he tries to revive the fortunes of bottom of the table Tottenham. "Until the end of my contract - this is the time I have," insisted Ramos.

"It's sometimes difficult to explain this situation but the team is losing 1-0, 2-1, it's very near the victory," he said.

But he conceded: "In our situation all the matches are very important. We need to win at Stoke. All the games are important because at the moment this is a serious situation for us.

"I'm worried because we want to win but this is a normal situation we have had since the start of the season.

"We are working very hard. We want to finish this situation very quickly."

Regarding the growing speculation over his own immediate future, the Spurs boss said: "No problem. It's normal in football.

"The situation for me is not bad because I have 20 years training. I have had big experiences in good moments and bad moments so this is normal for me.

"When you win you are the best and when you lose you are the worst. This is football. It never always is good and never always is bad.

"Of course I have pressure because I work every day with the team for the next game."
