A very busy couple of months for the new Spurs manager, trying to stabalise the clubs financies and playing staff. We caught up with Mr Cain after a training session.
Reporter: Must have been a hectic start for you at the club Chris, how are things going?
Cain: Very well thankyou, the players have had their "Get to know me" period, and now they know what I expect from them from now till the end of the season. The clubs massive wage bill was a worry, but that has been brought way under the budget for the season now.
Reporter: Many fans were calling for your head when you sold Postiga to Burnley!! What was the thinking behind that?
Cain: Fanancial reasons, nothing more. The lad is a good player, don't get me wrong, but we need a larger team to cope with Internationals and injuries. That £12m has been promised by the board for strenghtening the squad. And as for calling for my head!! We have just steared Tottenham to a new record of 17 Games Unbeaten!! I hardly think we are in trouble. Another few good results and we are back in the mix for a possible top 4 finish.
Cain has done what alot of other managers would have feared doing, selling a star player while the club was in 14th place. This has been a master stroke, and the club have every right to focus on a top four finish.

Tottenham were also cruising to a 6-0 win away to Blackburn before a freak power cut at the stadium forced the game to be postponed.
17 games unbeaten and the manager has yet to make any notable signings, what could the manager do with a couple of Worldclass people at the club?
