In a recent interview, the legendary former manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, made a bold statement about Tottenham's chances of winning a Premier League title. Fifteen years after his famous 'Lads, it's Tottenham' pep talk, Sir Alex declared that the north London club will never be able to lift the coveted trophy.
While attending an event at Newbury Racecourse, Sir Alex made this sensational remark just hours before Tottenham's thrilling comeback victory over Brighton and Hove Albion. The winning goal was scored by Brennan Johnson in the dying minutes of the game, securing all three points for manager Ange Postecoglou's side. This impressive win moved Tottenham up to fourth place in the English top flight, one point ahead of Aston Villa. Interestingly, Ferguson's beloved Manchester United were set to face Villa in a highly anticipated clash the following day.
Many have credited Postecoglou for transforming the mood at Tottenham since taking charge last summer. However, Sir Alex clearly believes that the club still has a long way to go before they can compete with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City. Tottenham's last league triumph was way back in 1961, and according to Ferguson, their supporters will have to wait even longer for another taste of glory.
When asked if Tottenham will ever win the Premier League, Sir Alex could not contain his laughter and responded bluntly to Sky Sports' Matt Chapman, saying, "No!" He went on to explain that the competition in the Premier League is fierce, with teams like Liverpool and Manchester City being incredibly powerful. Even for his own former team, Manchester United, Sir Alex acknowledged that they have to fight hard to stay at the top.
Responding to claims that Tottenham is now more likely to win a title than United, Ferguson firmly stated, "No chance!" This statement came just moments after Johnson's dramatic goal secured a crucial win for Tottenham against Brighton.
Speaking to the media after the game, Postecoglou expressed his pleasure with his team's response to their poor first-half performance. He admitted that the first half was not great, partly due to Brighton's strong performance and Tottenham's lack of discipline. However, he praised his team's character and mentality, stating that they always respond well to guidance.
The Australian manager also addressed the issue of fatigue by explaining his decision to bring on Son Heung-min and Yves Bissouma as substitutes. He revealed that they were worried about the players' fatigue after their international duties and decided to bring them on in the second half to avoid overloading them. Ultimately, this decision paid off as Son played a crucial role in securing the win for Tottenham.
