Gary Neville has called out Paul Merson for his pre-season prediction that Tottenham would finish in the bottom half of the Premier League this season.
appointed Ange Postecoglou as their manager last June following Antonio Conte s fiery exit during the run-in in 2022/23.
Postecoglou successfully navigated a summer full of uncertainty with Harry Kane linked with an exit.
Despite interest from , the England captain joined Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to get his hands on a trophy for the first time in his career.
In his debut, he came off the bench as Bayern lost the German Super Cup final and for the first time since 2012, the Bavarians have ended the season without a trophy.

HOW THE RACE FOR EUROPE IS LOOKING

Following Kane s departure last August, Arsenal icon Merson boldly claimed that Tottenham would finish in the bottom half this campaign.
He was not even remotely close to being correct, with Spurs currently fifth in the Premier League with one match remaining.
This, in Neville s opinion, was the worst Sky Sports pundit prediction of the season.
Neville admitted that it was either Merson s take or his opinion that Bournemouth who are sitting pretty in 11th would get relegated.
“It’s probably mine or Merse’s looking at that,” said Neville. “Bournemouth I think are 11th at the moment, aren’t they? If they went down, then they would be 18th. That’s seven places out. Merse is seven places out really, isn’t he?
