Spurs sack Ramos

[Colchester Kev]

Good luck Harry !

I assume Adams has stayed at Portsmouth?

LOL one would bloody well hope so.

Redknapp is mad in my opinion. Hope spurs get relegated for the fact most of the fans are deluded. Big club my arse

[ ] the tottenham defence dont need someone like tony adams

[FuglyBaz]

[GlasgowBandit]

Strachan for Pompey!  He has a decent record on the South Coast.

spurs seem to have an enriched history in either picking shite managers, or picking great managers and messing them up.... which seems strange to me as from an outsiders point of view their upper management seems to have the fundamentals pretty sorted in a fiscal sense.

And that is why anyone with an ounce of knowledge will always tell you that football and finance are enemies ... the two are poles apart and toatlly contradict each other in todays game.

I guess so, but for the life of me I cant see how a board that has good financial sense can get it so fkin wrong outside of the boardroom. Some of the decisions, like selling all the strikers/managerial decisions, it just seems like utter madness, and my point is that a board that can manage a club financially should have the ability to put something in place to get it semi-right outside of the boardroom. I could understand if they got it wrong in every department!

Are the directors in control of everything? is this why Ramos was such a failure? no leeway to do anything on his own accord?

[maldini32]

Wow wa weewaa

[Colchester Kev]

Thing is Totalise, boards that control finances with their lives, usually have too much control in the football side of the club, it is a disaster waiting to happen ... Commoli  shoulders most of the blame here, he was the buyer/seller of players and answered to the board, not Ramos.

a shoddy mess that is really embarrassing for Spurs.

Will be intersting to see what the board have told redknapp about the role of "director of football" and whether we will not go down that route again ...

Who knows, but whats the worst that can happen ... we get relegated ?  well we were getting relegated with Ramos thats for sure.

[totalise]

would you be in this mess if Ramos got full control, rather then just being a peg-man for the board to tell what to do? I think all this director of football stuff is complete nonsense, let the manager select the players for both team selection and for transfer requirements. By all means, use someone like a director of football to find what the manager wants, but it seems ridic that the director can make these decisions outwith of the managers desires. I cant imagine Arsene/Fergie accepting a player that they didn't really want to buy!!

[gatso]

should be an interesting couple of weeks for ya. I'd expect harry to bring in 2 or 3 on loan straight away to steady the ship and he's always up for an interesting signing

[77dave]

i think Spurs should of given O'Leary the chance for the top job with Adams as his No.2

Maybe George Graham as director of football

Would we be in this mess ... Well look at the evidence, after the cup final last season, we couldnt buy a point ... Now if Ramos was a good manager, he wouldnt have let that happen, you cant allow your players to mentally switch off and play the rest of the season like it didnt mattter, it has carried on to this season and its like a runaway train going downhill. The buck stops with him and his inability to motivate a team of players, and getting them playing like they didnt just meet each other over breakfast, which is how spurs have been playing ... no team spirit, no bonding .

Harry is a master at getting players playing for each other and creating a bit of a brotherhood in the dressing room.

I hope he wins the fkin lot
