Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists Liverpool are no inspiration.
Instead, Pochettino says it is Spurs other English clubs should look to.
He told the Evening Standard: When you analyse from 2014, when we arrived at Tottenham, the net investment of all the teams, it's not that City [started spending] when Guardiola arrived, or Liverpool when Klopp arrived, or Chelsea when Conte or Sarri arrived, or Manchester United when Mourinho or now Solskjaer arrived.
It's in their history in the last 10 years all the money they were spending to arrive here.
For us, we are far away from that. It's not fair to compare and say Liverpool is going to be an inspiration for us. No! It's the opposite."
Pochettino added: Tottenham is an inspiration for the rest of teams in Premier League or in England because with less in everything you can fight.
The most important is that culture, that philosophy we create all together in the club in the last five years.
Maybe in the end we can get or not [get] a trophy but we are very close. We are so competitive with less we are doing a lot more than our rivals.
I think we proved a different way to operate we achieved the final of Champions League fighting with big clubs."
