Splash the cash if you want Champions League fame: Redknapp
April 14th, 2011 - 6:52 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr.14 (ANI): Coach Harry Redknapp has insisted that the only way Tottenham can become a Champions League force is to splash the cash like their top-four rivals.
Redknapp reckons Tottenham must compete with the likes of big-spending Manchester City if they are to make sure qualification for this season was not a fluke.
The Sun quoted him, as saying: “If this club wants regular Champions League football then you have to add quality players to the squad each season. It has become so hard to qualify now as all the teams at the top are spending big on top players.”
He added: “If Tottenham can make the top four again it would be a great achievement, arguably better than last season because City have spent millions trying to make sure of fourth place.”
“What we have to do is to make sure next year Tottenham keep on building and creating a team capable of getting into the Champions League. It is no good doing it once and not having a go at doing it again for another 15 years or something like that. To do it every year, you have to keep improving your squad,” Redknapp said. (ANI)
