Tottenham to enter the Champions League
Panache, skill, finesse, determination, grit, motivation, and a will to win is what tottenham showed last night to see themselves in the dreamland with the prospect of Champions League Beckoning next year. Fortune Favours the brave and brave will now inherit a fortune. Harry Redknapp’s men qualified for the qualifying round of the Champions League next season with a dogged but gritty one nil win over the noveau riche Manchester City last night at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Tottenham’s summer has now added golden glow to it and their shrewd owner Daniel Levy can now boast the prospect of playing at the likes of San Siro, Santiago Barnabeau and Camp Nou when trying to lure new recruits to his club. Along with the money that is to come from the TV rights and participating money will see Spurs pocketing around 70 million pounds, a prospect that will definitely see the London club shoulder to shoulder with the so called big four of the English premier league, A trophy that has just seen 4 teams win it for the past 18 years might just get a little more interesting. Let alone the four winners the top three spots have only been captured by 6 teams in the last 15 years, that is 45 spots and just six teams occupying them.
Tottenham’s fortunes turned when Harry Redknapp took over as their manager just over 19 months ago when they were down in the dumps struggling in the relegation dogfight but Redknapp brought with him an attacking mentality and a desire to win and since then spurs have never looked back.
The final whistle was accompanied by the chants of Mancini out by some sections of the crowd but come on are u serious, after doing what they did to Mark Hughes they cannot do the same thing to another in just over a few months, constant chopping, changing and culling helps no club and city don’t want or deserve that. After all they should appreciate that however disappointing or heartbreaking this defeat be they still have a set of loyal supporters, an astute manager, a super rich owner and a good blend of youth and experienced footballers.
City must continue their ascend, Chelsea did not win immediately after the Russian rubles of Abrahamovic, they endured a trophy less first season, sacked Claudio Ranieri brought in Jose and then the trophies came, City must do the same, they must learn to walk before they run and silverware will eventually come, Persistence and Perseverance will be rewarded.
Just Look at Spurs and how their fortunes have turned in just over 18 weeks form utter oblivion of relegation to the delirium heights of playing in the Champions League. Offcourse Harry Redknapp’s achievement is at par with that of Roy Hodgson and both men proved to the world that English managers can work wonders with team if given time and chance.
