"Last year was the first year in recent times that Tottenham made it so public that they wanted to go for the title but you also have to agree with me that Harry [Redknapp] was in and out of that quotation," Villas-Boas said. "It's very well to promote yourself to the title and to quit the week after. Not that this is a criticism but if we really want to go for it, this is something we have to assume from the start."It is a proposition I put to the players on the first day that we met. We would like to assume this responsibility, not to put more pressure on ourselves but because it goes along with what we are trying to build at this club. We are trying to put together a squad that makes us compete for the title."

Harry Redknapp has revealed that he will attempt to help save his former club Portsmouth from being shut down. Pompey have been set a deadline of 10 August by administrator Trevor Birch to have their finances in order or face going out of business.The club's former manager Redknapp plans to speak to Nwankwo Kanu, who has lodged a claim for £3m in pay, to see if he can persuade the former Arsenal and Portsmouth striker to compromise.
Redknapp told ESPN: "I will be ringing Kanu today to see if there is anything I can do. I signed him for Portsmouth on a one-year contract and Tony Adams told me: 'You must be mad, he is finished.' Six years later, he is still there."
The defender Tal Ben Haim is also owed a similar amount in wages and Redknapp added: "In the case of Tal Ben Haim, if players have a contract and are owed money, you can see why they think they should get it. But if the club closes down they won't get a penny. They need to think hard about that."
Redknapp spent five seasons at Fratton Park between 2002 and 2008, guiding the club to a momentous FA Cup win in 2008.
"Portsmouth has got to be saved. It's a great club with great traditions," Redknapp added. "It would be a disaster if this club went out of business.
"It has great fans to the extent that, if you live in Portsmouth, you are a Portsmouth supporter. If you walk around in that town, you don't see people wearing Manchester United or Arsenal shirts.
"It is soul-destroying to see them in this predicament, and there must be a group of people out there or someone who could take over the club so cheaply and save them.
"I would love to see someone do that. Surely it cannot happen that Portsmouth go out of business. If someone did come in, the club could be resurrected quickly. It wouldn't take a lot to get it going again.
"I remember when Milan [Mandaric] came in and bought the club all those years ago, they were looking to lock the gates then and go into administration – but he turned it all around and made it work.
"When he sold the club, it spiralled out of control. Balram Chainrai put a lot of money in, but he must think it is the worst investment he ever made in his life. But now it just needs some people who understand football and who can work with the players."
The front on this bloke, f*ck*ng hell.
HEURELHO GOMES has aimed a parting shot at former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp for making him feel ‘terrible’.
The Brazilian keeper made a couple of high-profile errors against Chelsea and Real Madrid last season — and it cost him dearly.
Redknapp brought in 40-year-old Brad Friedel and made him first choice at White Hart Lane — leaving Gomes sidelined.
Now the former PSV Eindhoven man has welcomed the arrival of new manager Andre Villas-Boas and hopes it could be an end to his hell in North London.
Gomes said: “Redknapp barely talked to me. I was playing really well when he hired Friedel. So I was really surprised and decided to ask him about that.
“Redknapp asked me to be calm, because I was his goalkeeper and he trusted me, as he told me. But that didn’t happen.
“In the 2010-11 season, I made only two mistakes but I didn’t give them so much importance and I didn’t think I was going to be sacked from the team because of that.”
Gomes reckons his old boss then blocked his chances of getting away from Tottenham to restart his career.
He said: “I asked Redknapp to let me go, but he said no to three offers for me. QPR, CSKA Moscow and Atletico Mineiro wanted me.
“I was close to CSKA because they wanted me only for four months and I was going to play the Champions League, but Redknapp didn’t allow me to leave.”
So Gomes was stuck on the bench for the big Premier League games and he admits it started to affect him.
He added: “People in England have different ways of doing things in football.
“For example, when a club like Tottenham buy you, you have to play really well. So if you play well, everything is OK.
“But if you don’t play well, they don’t don’t help you at all. That made me feel terrible.”
Gomes is now looking forward to a fresh start with Spurs and says he is happy to see out the final two years of his contract.
But he admits a return to South America would appeal if he ends up behind Friedel in the pecking order again this season.
He said: “I’m sure that Villas-Boas’ arrival is going to help me. He is great and he wants to do the best for Tottenham. I’m sure he will achieve many things here. I hope I could play in his team until 2014.
“I have two more years under contract at Spurs and I intend to fulfil them. But I’m tired of Europe, I have reached my limit here.
“I’m 31 years old and I’m thinking about moving back to Brazil.
“Atletico Mineiro wanted me, but Tottenham asked them to pay a fortune of £8million for me and the negotiation finished.”
Harry says he would have got Carroll in a heart beat. top talent that will score goalsStill disappointed but looking forward to his next job. Thinks we will really struggle to make the top 6 unless we replace Modric and bring in 2-3 top players
He also said he was keeping an eye on Dempsey and Walcott

Former Spurs boss Redknapp reveals Levy's Real deal with Modric
Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has warned Spurs fans to brace themselves for the departure of Luka Modric.
The Croatia playmaker has been the subject of transfer speculation for the second consecutive summer and looks likely to leave White Hart Lane, with Real Madrid his likeliest destination.
Chelsea's interest was rebuffed before last season and Modric went on to play a starring role for Spurs under Redknapp's management.
But the latter warned that the 26-year-old's excellence came at a price, with a promise to clear the way for a move away this year.
Real assistant coach Aitor Karanka recently praised the player in the Spanish press and Redknapp has told the Sun: 'I would not be sure Luka would start the season at Tottenham.
'The club would be happy to sell if they get the right money. The chairman (Daniel Levy) said to him last year "Give us one more season and if Real come in, I won't stand in your way".'
A silver lining of any possible departure would, of course, be the swelling of the transfer budget available to Redknapp's successor Andre Villas-Boas.
One possible target is Lyon and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, whose agent and father Luc told the same newspaper: 'I'm sure that Hugo's move will be accelerated if Modric joins Real.'
