Dave Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article2741245.ece October 25, 2007 Breaking: Spurs give Martin Jol marching orders Times Online Martin Jol has agreed severance terms with Tottenham Hotspur and is expected to take charge of his last match for the club against Getafe tonight. Juande Ramos has agreed to become the new manager at White Hart Lane at the start of next season, although he is coming under heavy pressure to take the reigns sooner. The match at home to Blackburn Rovers on Sunday is likely to come too early for the Seville manager, however, and Clive Allen is expected to take charge for that match. Gus Poyet, the former Tottenham and Chelsea midfield player, has been approached to become the assistant manager. Jol’s position has been untenable since senior Tottenham officials made an embarrassingly public approach for Ramos in August. The club have been pursuing the Spaniard since. The Dutchman appeared buoyant as he left the tunnel for the dugout before kick-off against Getafe, giving no hint of the drama that was unfolding. Ramos will be charged with turning around Tottenham’s fortunes - expectations of challenging for a place in the Champions League this season have been crushed by a series of poor results and performances.

The Bonk Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Is Clive Allen assistant coach? Why would he right ship untill Ramos comes next season? Why would they (the players) listen to him if he's part of Jol's set up? Nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 ITV picking up on it now with Pleat giving his views on it. He mentioned something about his time there and Arnesen coming in to replace him. When it cut to Jol he looked gutted and Levy looked anxious.

Shak Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Why the f*** would Ramos walk away from the Champions League for that mob? Looks like he's going to but I f****** wouldn't. All about the money at the end of the day. Outside of the likes of the Milans and Juve in Italy and Barca and Real in Spain there simply aren't any clubs that can offer a manager the wages teams like Spurs or ourselves can, regardless of the lack of CL football. Same with players, which is why I always laugh when we're linked with foreign players playing for Porto or Werder Bremen or some other club of such standing and we have hordes of people on the forum going "OMG, he'd never come here!!" The Premiership is the place to be these days, which can only be good for us as fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
