Despite his icon status at Arsenal, Wright revealed he does not share the vitriolic disdain many fans hold for their neighbours. Speaking on The Overlap podcast, he voiced concerns about their trajectory, maintaining that he hopes they stay in the top flight.
Wright explained his stance, stating: "People talk about Tottenham going down this season, there's a chance. I wouldn't want to see Tottenham go down. In this moment right now, I watched them the other day, absolutely they could. But I wouldn't like to see it. I've never had a hatred of Tottenham. When I was younger, I was always Glenn Hoddle. I loved Glenn Hoddle and I still do."
Wright believes that for Tottenham to truly rival Arsenal or Manchester City again, a fundamental change in ownership is required. He argued that Levy's departure has merely exposed deeper issues regarding the Lewis family's stewardship.
Wright concluded: "Now that Daniel Levy's gone, they can't blame him. It's the Lewis family. They've got to change the ownership. You need an owner who can come in who's got that [Roman] Abramovich energy. He wants to win on the pitch and Tottenham have got everything in place."
