However, following that success, a few players moved on, with Heung-min Son\u2019s departure<\/a> standing out as the most emotional of them all, marking the perfect ending to his remarkable stint in North London.<\/p>\n Tottenham\u2019s last major triumph before that came in 2008 when they lifted the League Cup, yet Paul Robinson has now confessed that he regrets leaving the club shortly after that victory to join Blackburn Rovers.<\/p>\n Speaking on the An Echo Of Glory podcast, the former Spurs goalkeeper admitted that he acted too hastily when deciding to leave Tottenham for Blackburn in July 2008.<\/p>\n Revealing how his relationship with then-manager Juande Ramos deteriorated, Robinson said he should have waited for the Spaniard to be sacked instead of rushing out the door.<\/p>\n He explained, via An Echo Of Glory: \u201cThat is why I left. Me and him (Juande Ramos) did not see eye to eye at all. With hindsight, I should have stayed and outlasted him, but sometimes you cannot see the wood for the trees. You know, we just won the Carling Cup, as it was the League Cup at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I knew even playing that final that I was leaving at the end of the season because he did not want me around and I was not going to play. At that point, he had taken me in and out of the team.<\/p>\n \u201cThe man management and the way he handled that situation, I wanted to get out. I wanted a fresh start and I needed to play. But Juande Ramos left, obviously, and like I say, hindsight, you look back, could have probably seen that coming. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd then Harry (Redknapp) came in, a manager that I would have probably loved to have played for, but I could not see past the end of the next week and I wanted to play every week. And with Juande Ramos, I was not going to be there. He was never the right fit for Tottenham.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Spurs aiming to build on new era of success<\/p>\n Footballers naturally crave consistent minutes, and no one can truly fault Robinson\u2019s desire to play regularly. His decision made sense at the time, even if hindsight offers a different perspective.<\/p>\n![\"League](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/lc-1024x683.jpg\")
