Ive met him many, many times and he loves Tottenham Hotspur, hes very passionate and it all came out last night. Ive got so much joy for him.Weve had so many problems this year; we didnt go back into the stadium until late, he never bought a player but he believed in this team, and weve had over 50 injuries to 28 different players, so what hes had to go through is just amazing.Ive got nothing but admiration for him and hell become one of the best managers Tottenham have ever had, Im sure.
