Ferguson speaks on Tottenham’s title chances

When asked by Sky Sports Racing's Matt Chapman whether Tottenham will ever win the Premier League, Ferguson responded as reported by Daily Mail, “No' before laughing.
“1961 was the last time they won it. That's a long time. The proposition today with Liverpool and Man City being so powerful in the Premier League.”
Ferguson also responded as follows to Chapman's suggestion that Tottenham has a better chance than United of winning the league, “No chance.”
On Saturday, Tottenham defeated Brighton 2-1 at home thanks to a late equaliser from Brennan Johnson.
