Poll: Did Ramos Deserve Longer at Spurs?

I don't think he deserves longer time because he can't bring any changes after 8 Premier League games. What the Spurs looks for is immediate change where Redknapp have done it yesterday.

GLORY GLORY HARRY REDKNAPP!! COYS!

Even if you fired the players, a lot of them would be players Ramos wanted, right?

Matt's right-when heads have to roll, you can't fire all the players. That's a cliche in American sports when a coach (manager) is let go mid-season.

Simon, I said at least a decent/good manager came in and not some unknown.

Also when I see premiership fans that aren't the "big 4" it really pisses me off that they say "Lets hope we get 7th-5th" like that's a measure of success. Until the mentality changes there will always be the "Big 4".

Can't see Levy selling players that didn't want to leave (eg Carrick. Berba, Keane) and without the manager's (he's paying 4 mill a year) agreement (eg Malbranque, Tanio, Chimbonda) or insisting on keeping and playing the dud ones (eg Robinson, Zokora, Dawson).
Unless of course we're watching an episode of Dream Team and Eastenders all rolled into one, where he has been planted there by that other lot to sabotage our plans for world domination.
Shit happens in football and if you have loads of dosh you can pay 5 mill to get yourself out of it as with Redknapp - fingers crossed.
Absolutely nobody could have foreseen Ramos getting so so wrong - but he did conspiracy theories or not.

JOE LEWIS SHOULD NOW MAKE UP HIS FKN MIND TO REPLACE THE CNT CALLED LEVYSCUM!!!!!! REGARDLESS WHO IS TO BLAME AMONGST THE DOF OR THE MANAGER, IT IS LEVY WHO MADE THE FINAL DECISIONS ON WHO TO BUY AND WHO TO SELL!!! SO THIS MEANS THE BUCK STOPS WITH LEVYSCUM, SO IT IS HE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE NOW FOR THIS SEASON ALREADY LOOKING LIKE A TOTAL DISASTER!!! BRINGING IN HARRY IS DESPERATION, WE HAD A GREAT MANAGER IN RAMOS....RAMOS WAS LET DOWN BY LEVYSCUM AND COMOLLISCUMS INEPTITUDE IN THEIR TRANSFER DEALINGS!!!

Jol evetually got found out as we languished in the relegation region and definitely had to go.
Ramos with a massive reputation was a decent enough idea but turned out so rubbish in the PL that there is a good chance we may still be relegated.
So now we've called in the best man for the plight we find ourselves in.
When you think Bruce Rioch was the manager elsewhere before Wenger came in - kissing a lot of frogs to find your prince is the only way to go.
Post Redknapp - Mourhinio.

Managers only get sacked because you can't sack all 22 first team players. Just the way it is. He HAD to go, no doubt about it.

HAD to happen. This team has been in relegation form (3 wins since the Carling Cup) for a long time now. It's not just that they were losing, it's how. For example, replacing Bent with Pavlyuchenko when Spurs were down 2-1, or resting Pavlyuchenko against Stoke when he's cup-tied for Spurs' next game to begin with, etc. Younes Kaboul looked more and more right every day.

As for Comolli...he knew Berbatov was leaving. Even if Keane totally blindsided him, there was still ample time to get somebody else who wasn't cup-tied AND hadn't already played half a season. Of course, not selling Defoe might have been a good idea, if Comolli thought ahead at all.

What's all this nonsense about Ramos not being a good coach?

Martin Jol must be pissing himself with laughter tonight.

nah he said pav and bent were to much alike to play upfront which is shit cause ones a target man and the other runs off the ball it made no sense and to sit david bently and p lay him out of position all the time comon he doesn't know the english game he had players last year that did martin jol would have taken them to the carling cup!

But...He only did the lone striker thing because all his strikers were sold.

I'd also like to add he was a cup coach never good in the league and we want a top 4 finish more than anything after being so close!

Ramos was stuck on the fuckin lone striker shit which was so dumb...its about time!! COYS! funny thing is they had an interview with ramos on friday on spurs tv talking about the bolton game...they contacted redknapp on thursday night after the uefa cup game...that was an embarrassing loss!

I think it's pretty telling when Pasquale Marino, quickly becoming one of the most well-respected minds in Italian football, calls Ramos "a perfect coach" and less than a week later he's canned. Perfect is perhaps an exaggeration, but the problems rise much higher up the food chain than coach.

james - he must have been planning for future in the irish league! in other words no hope! cant believe you arent pleased!

fuzzy i agree!!

I just beg the Spurs fans if we get 5th once, let alone twice - DONT TURN ON THE MANAGER COS HE DIDN'T GET 4TH - PLEASE!!!!

Kind of a shame that he didn't get more time, he was obviously planning for the future...

The only good thing is that Redknapp is a respectable and good manager.

:(

I bet he wishes he hadn't bought Jermaine Defoe now.

Daryl- he can be apparently. Just got confirmed that Redknapp is taking over

Spurs are paying £5m to Portsmouth in compensation for Redknapp's services.

Redknapp will be at the game tomorrow - he said that on TV tonight - and will go into the dressing room to meet the players. For the game itself Clive Allen and Alex Inglethorpe (youth team manager) take charge.

Ive been watching Ssn and Redknapp said that he will be at the game tomorow and in the dressin room tommorow. and the deal will be confirmed in the morning and they are singing tonight! he wil also put out the team

Oddly, I think Clive Allen has stepped into the breech.

Short term question: with Poyet gone, who's in charge for tomorrow's game? Surely Redknapp can't be installed by tomorrow afternoon.

Dont underestimate Harry. I really think he is the man for us. Of all the managers we could have possibly got, I wouldn't have been happier with anubody else.
I am so excited about Redknapp as our manager I can hardly control myself!!

Quite right, it has been totally unacceptable and this is completely necessary.

IF A WELL RESPECTED PILOTS PLANE IS NOSEDIVING TOWARDS THE GROUND AND ITS GATHER MORE AND MORE SPEED UR NOW MISSING A WING A FEW FEET BEFORE UR SMASHED TO SHIT IN A PILE OF ROCKS ARE YOU GONNA JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SAY GIVE HIM TIME LOOK AT HES C.V HES FLEW MANY GREAT PLANES IN THE PAST HES A GENIUS ITS JUST HES STYLE.FUCK NO UR GONNA KICK HIM OUT THE WAY AND LET SOMEONE ELSE GRAB THE CONTROLS. EVEN IF ITS A DROOPY FACED COCKNY MAN.

Why should he deserve longer? He's never been a top class manager, at least not in league play. How many games should Spurs have to lose before letting him go?
