Also asked Robert Vilahamn about the work that Spurs have done this season with Norway international Celin Bizet 🇳🇴 and the details behind her improvement:

“She has the potential to be the best winger in this league.”

Spurs coach Robert Vilahamn: “We want to make sure (players) come here and they’re going to enjoy every single moment of their football career when they are here.”

Asked Robert Vilahamn what Spurs are able to present to transfer targets now, to possibly convince players to join them over leading teams.

“I think you will not come here just because you want to have the best salary; we will never try to sell that to the player.”

Robert Vilahamn’s response when I asked about Spurs’ pre-season plans.

“I’m used to going away with the team, because I’m a strong believer in teamwork, team building, so we’re looking into that to make sure we have some kind of camp during pre-season.”

Spurs coach Robert Vilahamn tells me he’s heading to the South West this summer 😄

“We’re going to go to…Cornwall? Is that correct? On the west coast of England, we’re going to go there. Everybody says that it’s the best place in the UK.”

Carla Ward on psychological support in the women’s game: “Too many times, and I’ve said it time and time again, and I feel very strongly about this, players are classed as numbers, not people - that’s not okay. That’s in the game far too much.”

Carla Ward: “There is a massive amount of work that needs to be done. For me, psychological support, mental support for players, staff. I sound like a broken record, but at what point is that going to be something that’s put into the licence? We’re talking about human beings.”

Asked Carla Ward if she might return to management as a reformed, boring character…

“Reformed in that I might bring some personality back – I think the job’s sucked the life out of me! I think I used to have a personality but it seems to have disappeared.”

Asked Carla Ward about the process with Aston Villa players’ contract renewals, with one manager leaving and another not yet confirmed.

Rachel Corsie confirmed this week as signing a new deal.

Carla Ward’s response when I asked if she feels like she’s been able to draw breath in these last few years since becoming a manager.

“The way the women’s game’s going, (infrastructure and staffing) needs to be addressed, otherwise you’ll see more and more managers take breaks.”

Asked Carla Ward what she feels urgently needs to change in the women’s game. Are players and staff currently being listened to enough?

More than the result, I think the biggest thing for Spurs is that they actually finish this game having at least properly threatened Chelsea a few times. Aside from England hitting the bar, it just wasn’t there at Wembley.

Really started this second half well.

“I’m a (Manchester) United fan, but just actually seeing what the set-up of (Everton) was like, how much of a family club it is and how important it is in the community, I think that was a big contrast coming from United, which felt a bit more like a business.”

Asked Marc Skinner how much he’s planning for next season with Grace Clinton in mind.
 
“All I hear in conversation is that Tottenham want to keep Grace… I want to bring her back to the club… I think she has a huge say in how we’ll play in the future.”
