Ryan Mason confidently stated that he is capable of leading Tottenham Hotspur and will ensure a positive response after their humiliating loss to Newcastle.
Mason is now the third manager of Tottenham Hotspur this season, taking over from Cristian Stellini who was fired after the team’s 6-1 loss at St James’ Park.
Mason is currently serving as caretaker manager for the second time at the age of 31, having previously taken on the role when Jose Mourinho was fired at the end of the 2020/21 season.
The ex-Tottenham player who had to retire due to a skull injury caused by a collision during a match for Hull in 2017, is going to be in charge of Spurs for six additional games.
Manchester United, who are currently leading by six points over Spurs and have two extra games to play, will face a challenging start with back-to-back matches against Tottenham and Liverpool.
Mason said during a news conference before the match that feeling comfortable is a natural part of being involved in football.
He stated that his previous experience as a caretaker confirmed his readiness for similar situations. Despite the events of the past two years, he feels prepared for the current situation.
Mason said he is prepared to take on the job full-time and if that happens, it would indicate that he has performed well.
The speaker is referring to something that will happen in four to six weeks, but their focus right now is on the upcoming games on Thursday and Sunday.
The Tottenham team promised to pay back the families who went to Newcastle to see them play, as the team was losing 5-0 within the first 21 minutes of the game.
Supporters have been calling for the departure of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy during home games, and if the team starts poorly against United, this animosity may resurface.
Mason was sure that his players would react appropriately.
Sunday’s outcome was a letdown and I anticipate that everyone, not just the players, will respond with a strong reaction, including those who work within the club.
The speaker is happy about the reimbursement because they value their fans and need their support, despite recent issues in their relationship. They want to ensure the fans are on board with them.
Mason may have to play without captain Hugo Lloris due to a hip injury he sustained during the match against Newcastle.
