Tottenham lower expectations for next season

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 17:23

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has conceded that Spurs cannot compete with the strength of the Barclays Premier League's Big Four or Manchester City's spending power.

Redknapp admitted: "City are working on another level with the wages they can offer. We liked Barry and Santa Cruz but when it came to it we just weren't at the races."

He said: "If we can't get players who will improve the team we're not going to bother.

"We already have a decent squad, many of whom are going to improve. We recognise we have to improve the away results next season and f we can do that we can push to finish in the top six.

"That has to be our aim and I believe we can achieve it."

they may be one of the richest clubs in england, but if they're competing against the richest club in the world to sign a player they're interested in (i.e. cruz, barry) then how much they have becomes pretty irrelevant.
