QUOTE 1 (IN RELATION TO ENGLAND JOB)
'(That's) the biggest load of nonsense I've ever heard in my life. They don't care whether I'm the manager next year, they wouldn't lose any sleep over that. Footballers are footballers: they play the game, they train every day.
'Someone else could come in here tomorrow … The king is dead, long live the king. That is football. They don't worry if Harry's going to England, or if he's going somewhere else. It doesn't happen that way. They don't think about that; I don't think about it.
QUOTE 2 (IN RELATION TO WHY HE WANTS A NEW CONTRACT)
"The simple situation is, I've got a year left on my contract. It's up to Tottenham whether they want to extend that contract or not. If they don't extend it and I go into my last year, it's not an easy one when players know you've only got a year left,"
It me or has he contradicted himself here and also admitted that the slump was infact down to him as he did not clarify his position with regard to England, hence he got himself sacked?
