Chelsea suffer by comparison to Tottenham Hotspur in comments by new White Hart Lane boss Andre Villas-Boas.
Speaking about how his new role is shaping up across London from where he left Stamford Bridge under a cloud, the Portu-geezer hailed Spurs – and simultaneously subtly slammed Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
“There is more a sense of belonging to a club at Tottenham. It was important to come to a club with a knowledgeable chairman, who is involved on a daily basis,” said Villas Boas.
“That is the main difference from before.
“The structure around Tottenham is extremely good. There are competent and trustworthy people in and around the football club, which is driven towards success.
“They are not looking for certain scapegoats. And when so many people are striving forward, then it makes your job easier.”
