Gary Neville refuses to change his mind on his perception of previous Tottenham sides.
Gary Neville wound up former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp this week with his comments on Sky Sports Monday Night Football.
Neville’s comments that he saw Tottenham as easy opponents during his playing days upset Redknapp who blasted the former Manchester United captain.
Redknapp spoke to TalkSport and tore into Neville’s comments.
He said: “I thought Gary’s comments were an absolute disgrace.
“I can only comment on the three-and-a-half years I managed the club, and we weren’t gutless, we weren’t spineless, we weren’t pathetic, flaky or soft.
“It’s a disgrace to label people like Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Ledley King, Rafa van der Vaart, William Gallas, it’s a disgrace to talk about players saying they’re spineless and gutless.
“I was so disappointed and so upset by his comments. He was totally out of order.
Neville is not deterred. Asked in a Twitter Q&A yesterday what he thinks of Tottenham, Neville repeated his comments.
Neville was also amused by Sky co-pundit Jamie Carragher, who poked fun at Redknapp’s outburst.
Redknapp had gone onto have a pop at Neville’s spell as Valencia manager and urged the pundit to ‘do his homework’.
Neville does not appear to be changing his opinion, and while he has counter balanced it by praising this current Tottenham team, that is of little comfort to Redknapp who managed the club between 2008 and 2012.
