Mason taking it match-by-match

London – Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Ryan Mason said his focus is only on the next game and that the “big decisions” about the club’s direction will only be made at the end of the season.

Spurs slipped to seventh following Saturday’s 3-1 defeat by Leeds United and are seven points behind fourth-placed Leicester City with three games left.

Mason stepped in to replace Jose Mourinho last month and while he guided them to victories in his first two league games they lost to Manchester City in the League Cup final.

“There are definitely tools to work with for next season and I’m sure the chairman and the football club will have a long hard think about the direction the football club wants to go,” said Mason. –
