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.

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.
