Harry Redknapp returns to the club on Sunday where he reigned for more than three years - but reckons the days of long-serving managers is dead and buried.
The QPR boss was dramatically shown the Tottenham door after the club finished fourth in the Premier League two years ago, and still refuses to be drawn on why he got the boot.
The era when a manager might see more than a decade at the same place, apart from Arsene Wenger, barnacled on to dreaded Spurs rival Arsenal, are finished, says Redknapp.
The 67-year-old does think the continental model with a catwalk of coaches parading in and out of clubs has become the norm in England.
Redknapp explained: "I wouldn’t want to criticise Tottenham.
“But you look at Arsenal and Manchester United and they’ve had that stability. When you keep chopping and changing and bringing in players, it’s always difficult.
“Tottenham is owned by an Englishman, but other clubs get foreign owners and it’s the way it’s done that they get new managers in.
“But I like the look of this lad (Mauricio Pochettino); he did well at Southampton, but you won’t see the Wengers and the Fergusons anymore.
“West Ham had five managers in 16 years. There was only four of them in 60 years before that.”
For the first time, Redknapp reckoned it wasn’t Chelsea winning the Champions League that saw Tottenham kept out the following season, but a wretched display by West Brom keeper Martin Fulop that handed Arsenal a 3-2 win at The Hawthorns before that.
The Gunners claimed the last Champions League spot - one point ahead of Redknapp and co.
“At one minute, I had two jobs, Spurs and England, a bit later I was out of work,” he joked.
