Ho ready to put Spurs 'where this club should be'
[Getty Images] Tottenham manager Martin Ho wants to use this season to "build foundations" for a tilt at Women's Champions League qualification next season. After a promising first half to the season, Tottenham have lost four in a row in all competitions to slip out of contention for a top-three spot. Ho is targeting a strong end to the season starting on Sunday with a home game against the side immediately above them in the Women's Super League table, Manchester United.
"I don't come into any season just to take part," said Ho. "I want to make sure this club can be where it should be, competing for honours domestically and European honours, getting in those qualification spots. "We know that's difficult because it's only three teams but this year gives us a really good opportunity to build foundations for where we want to go.
"I have no doubts next year we can be more competitive. " Meanwhile, up against his former side, Ho is expecting "a bit of bite and a bit of needle" at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The two sides met twice in four days in December, United rescuing a point after being 3-0 down in the Women's Super League fixture, before beating Tottenham in the League Cup quarter-finals 72 hours later.
"It will be a competitive game and definitely one of high quality," he said. "Both teams possess really good qualities and really good players. "
