‘Anton Ferdinand, speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at its launch of the 5-A-Side Bet on Burnley v West Ham’
I think Brendan Rodgers is so underrated, it’s unreal. They’ve sold some big players in the last few years. They lost Harry Maguire, and they don’t miss him at all, it’s crazy.
What he’s doing at Leicester is unbelievable. He’s improved every player in that squad. Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho are all players who he has taken to another level. He’s just a great coach and a manager that everybody loves.
Would I be worried if I was a Leicester fan about him going to Tottenham? I don’t see him going there.
Why is he going to go to Tottenham? It’s different if he’s being touted by a top-four team Why is he going to leave a top-four team to manage Tottenham?
Look at the squads: is Tottenham’s better than Leicester’s? I can’t see it. They’ve got a couple of better individuals in Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, but that’s about it.
Leicester have just moved into a fantastic new training complex, the club looks like it’s being run fantastically well… why would you want to leave all of that to go to Tottenham?
