Gustavo Poyet has admitted that sacking Juande Ramos and his coaching staff was the right choice by Daniel Levy.

Former assistant coach, Gustavo Poyet has admitted that sacking Juande Ramos and his coaching staff was the right choice.

Speaking to The Sun, Poyet acknowledged that Harry Redknapp has done well with his former Tottenham charges.

"Being honest and looking at the results, it was the right decision to sack Juande and me.

"When you change the manager after 10 games or so, you're not looking to change the style.

"What you're looking for are different results, a reaction, a change. Simple. And it happened, so full credit to Harry.

"It's not nice when you get the sack. But I'm realistic at the same time - when things aren't going well you can't hide. Those are the rules in football and you must accept them." said Poyet.

The Uruguayan was quick to admit that the team fell apart after a few bad results and it just got worse with each passing game.

Poyet said: "We had an absolutely fantastic pre-season. But we couldn't get any points in our first couple of games so the situation changed completely, especially for the new players.

"All of a sudden ‘boom' you can't get a result. I think the place got nervous. You have habits, methods, and those sometimes don't work.

"Even if you have the best training in the world you will ask questions if you are losing. You'll say, ‘Is this the best way? Shall we do this, shall we do that?'

"You will ask too many questions. That's why the club decided to bring in something fresh and different. And it worked."

New manager, Harry Redknapp, has taken Spurs out of the relegation zone and remains undefeated since he took over charge of the London outfit.
