00:00 Just finally, nobody likes being reunited with their ex,
00:03 especially when they're with someone that they never liked.
00:06 But how hopeful are you that a spurned fan base
00:09 will take the moral higher ground
00:11 'cause they're so in love with you now
00:13 and not show any hostility or animosity
00:15 towards Maurizio on Monday?
00:16 - Jeez, that's a lot to take in.
00:20 And thankfully those kind of days are well past me.
00:22 I think your reference is to Maurizio, yeah?
00:28 All right, so I'll try and get to that.
00:31 Look, it's undoubted that
00:33 he had an unbelievable impact on this football club.
00:37 As all of us, I guess, in our roles,
00:41 that's our ultimate goal and ambition
00:43 is that whatever kind of doors we go through,
00:47 that we make an impact.
00:48 And he's had an undeniable impact on this football club,
00:53 his time here.
00:55 I mean, he almost took the club to the ultimate summit
00:58 of the Champions League or close to the league.
01:01 So his work is unquestioned.
01:04 Everyone I speak to around here,
01:05 there's still people who work with him,
01:06 can't speak highly enough of him as a person, as a manager.
01:10 So I doubt there'd be anything but respect
01:14 for Maurizio from anyone at this football club,
01:18 supporters or people associated with it.
01:21 That doesn't mean he's gonna get a guard of honour
01:23 on Monday night 'cause we wanna win.
01:24 And I don't think you would expect that,
01:26 but his tenure here and his impact here is undeniable.
01:31 And I think we'll stand the test of time
01:34 that whenever people think of Maurizio
01:37 and his time here as Spurs manager,
01:39 we'll only look upon it with respect and fondness.
