Ramos sounded out?

Juande Ramos has insisted he could one day return to the Premier League, amid claims he has already rejected an approach from an unnamed club.

 

The former Spurs chief left England with his reputation severely tarnished after he lasted just 12 months at White Hart Lane.

 

However, Real Madrid came calling in January and he has performed well with the Spanish champions as they are now clear in second place in La Liga.

 

Indeed Real president Vicente Baluda is hoping to tie him down before the summer elections, such has been his impact.

 

And Ramos' work has not gone unnoticed back in England, with Spanish reports claiming he has shunned an offer.

 

Newcastle, who are also said to be keeping close tabs on Olympiakos' highly-rated Spanish coach Ernesto Valverde, are said to have sounded out Ramos about a possible summer move to Tyneside.

 

And Ramos has now admitted he would consider a move back to England.

 

"My priority is with Real Madrid, but I would also like to have a clear idea about my future," he told the Daily Mirror.

 

"Just because I left Tottenham, that does not mean I cannot return to the Premier League.

 

"That league still holds many challenges for me."

    I know he have lots of stick at Supurs but I love his Sevilla team very attack oriented team and you have to be some one to mange a team like Real Madrid. In my opinion he would be great specially with a number two like Peter Beardsly or Rob Lee.

Have people already forgot how he got on this season at Spurs? how some players slagged him off big time once he had gone?

 

Don't want him here, why would it work? he's suited to Spanish leagues.

Oh go on then.......

 

 

 

TOTTENHAM have just found themselves Juan hell of a manager.

 

For Juande Ramos is the man Spurs have been crying out for years.

 

Think of Arsene Wenger, throw in a bit of Alex Ferguson and mix it up with Jose Mourinho — and you get Ramos.

 

For the players he is a mentor, a teacher, a man who loves spectacular, attacking football like Wenger.

 

Go out of form, take your eye of the ball and you are dropped even if you are Beckham or Van Nistelrooy. Work your socks off and you are in the team for good — just like Sir Alex.

 

If you need your manager to be a leader, a friend, a confidante — just like Mourinho — then Ramos is your man.

 

Jermain Defoe, things are looking up for you today. You WILL play because Ramos does not care about names, reputations or transfer fees.

 

And the fans can rejoice because Ramos WILL deliver.

 

He has never failed, taking teams from oblivion and putting them on the map — and you would struggle to find a player who has a bad word about him.

 

Ramos led Seville into the Champions League for the first time and won back-to-back UEFA Cups, a Spanish Cup and the European Super Cup.

 

He guided lowly Malaga to 10th place — their highest La Liga finish. When he left they got relegated. When he was in charge of Rayo Vallecano he got them to the UEFA Cup. Even though they got a fair-play spot they had still finished ninth.

 

Next stop was newly-promoted Real Betis and he led them to a UEFA Cup spot in his first season, narrowly missing out on a Champions League place.

 

His only mishap was at Espanyol when he was sacked eight games into the season after a fall-out with the directors over signings.

 

A close friend of Ramos said last night: The word that best defines Juande is justice. He is a just man, a fair man.

 

Ramos goes out of his way to be a friend to his players. He wins their trust by being fair.

 

The new Spurs boss will always play the most in-form players. He will drop Dimitar Berbatov if he has to and will not think twice about it.

 

Last year, Seville paid 5million for striker Ernesto Chevanton, a massive fee for them. But he hardly got a game.

 

He did not convince Ramos. Like Andriy Shevchenko failed to convince Mourinho — despite a 30m transfer fee.

 

By contrast, Fredi Kanoute and Louis Fabiano were irreplaceable.

 

In fact, even youngster Kepa Blanco — who spent the second half of last season on loan to West Ham — played ahead of Chevanton.

 

Ramos always prefers a rigid 4-4-2 system with two strikers. He only ever changes it to 4-4-1-1, with a second striker behind the targetman, when Seville play away from home against big clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona.

 

He adapts his game to the squad he inherits and, like Wenger, those who have played under his guidance have increased their value.

 

Players like Joaquin at Betis and Daniel Alves at Seville burst on to the world scene under his guidance. Kanoute left Spurs as a flop and scored 20 Liga goals last season.

 

Yet Ramos is different to the legendary three Premier League managers in one way — he is always calm, does not remonstrate with referees, does not moan.

 

He is serene as another close pal of his described. Whether that will change in these shores remains to be seen.

 

Unlike Mourinho, he will never court headlines and although very polite and courteous to the media — he will always give an interview — he does steer clear of controversy.

 

Barcelona were planning to replace Frank Rijkaard with Ramos if the Dutchman left at the end of the season. Real, too, were always following him closely.

 

However Ramos has been studying English for some time.

 

Last year, he won the prestigious �Miguel Munoz� trophy for the best manager in Spain.

 

In his homeland he is rated among the best two Spanish managers along with Liverpool’s Rafa Benitez.

 

But unlike the under-fire Liverpool boss Ramos loves to play attacking football.

Too good

This is more than likely bs.  The Sunday Sun had us lining up Aguirre last week.  We've got JFK for the forseeable

Don't want him here, why would it work? he's suited to Spanish leagues.

 

Are Spurs doing much better under Redknapp now? In any case this is a non-story, pure back page speculation used to fill a few column inches.

Incidentally, I can't see him working under "the system" either.

Quality, although, i think hes quality and could do a job in the premier league with the best clubs. If he replaced Hiddink at Chelsea he would do well imo!

[oldtype]

Should be forced to take the TOEFL before he's ever given another work visa in England.

[joeyt]

Valverde sounds impressive, albeit managing in the Greek league

[TRon]

Have people already forgot how he got on this season at Spurs? how some players slagged him off big time once he had gone?

 

Don't want him here, why would it work? he's suited to Spanish leagues.

 

Are Spurs doing much better under Redknapp now? In any case this is a non-story, pure back page speculation used to fill a few column inches.

 

 

 

well yeah they are doing slightly better, no longer bottom are they? - Besides, just because Redknapp hasn't done loads better it doesn't change the fact that Ramos was poor at communicating with players and things didn't work out this season in a particularly bad way.  I'd see him coming here as a big gamble, given the troubles were in.

 

But your right, it's a non-story... something to sell papers.

 

 

 

 

How are they doing better? Harry had a nice honeymoon period followed by a slump. Ramos had an even better honeymoon period where they won the FA cup and looked a decent side for a while, then had a slump. I don't think either are the answer FWIW. Ramos is too Spanish and Redknapp is Tottenham's version of Joe Kinnear.

One of my very good friends is a Tottenham supporter and he was in no doubts they were getting relegated under Ramos.

 

Although not clear of relegation it wouldn't surprise me if we see Tottenham pushing on under Harry Redknapp next season certainly a forward thinking appointment though unlike Joe Kinnear.

Well I can only compare what's happened within this season, and on that basis I'd say Redknapp has done better than Ramos.  They haven't had equal time at running the club for a direct comparison, and in fairness Spurs are in the League Cup final again and may win it under Redknapp for all we know.

 

Anyways, not really a worthwhile debate, espically given that we both agree Ramos is too Spanish
