so have poyet and commoli

OoOoOo

They must have someone lined-up.

http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/clubannouncement251008.html (http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/clubannouncement251008.html)

well that's a shock

Quality. I can't help but think thats a bit rash no matter how bad they've started - Ramos is proven.

We should get Gus back!

Mo should go....there

That mini-statement's "We wish them well" is so empty it makes me smile.

Well, that was a whirlwind for Ramos - he'll move on and do the business elsewhere.

haha spurs are shit.fucking fickle cunts

I'd have ditched Comolli and that type of set-up all together. Not that I'm totally against that set-up but it certainly hasn't worked at Spurs.

They say pompey have allowed Redknapp to talk, I hope to god he dont go there

want spurs to go down - id love it

Well me thinks Tony Adams wouldn't follow! Redknapp would be an idiot to leave. In fact I doubt he would leave.

Good

Adams will never go there

good

It says on BBC Website that Redknapp has actually taken job.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7691457.stm

Joke of a Club.

Shit hot!

Top 6 by Christmas  :eatkf:

purely down to dosh if redknapp has gone there.

Its purely down to wanting to manage one of the biggest clubs in the country more like.

has beens.pompey have a better side

He should have waited for the Newcastle job then.

waited?it was his before keegan took it

Newcastle are no way a bigger club than Spurs

both has beens.both utter shit now

newcastle have done fuck all, ever.

at least spurs have a bit of history about them.

go harry.

p.s. they should have got jol back

Well clearly they are both utter shit now thats why they both are where they are.
That doesnt make them has beens  :bye:

oxfrod have won more than newcastle

Can i just add this regarding the replies to my Newcastle comment:-

 :fishing: :1st:

arriba is an Arsenal fan?

I was doing the same though Spudster you filthy plastic Gooner.

He says his son is ,its a dirty seceret he trys to hide.

Other gooners include Spuddy,Fatbury and someone else who I cant think of.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4393516,00.html

£5 million compensation.

spurs were a great side in my youth.around the time swindon were a great side in slightly lesser comparison.

Arsenal have gone almost as long as Newcastle since winning anything.

Bushy

I have my suspicions about Strood as well

Theres  afew gooners to be fair

i'm a swindon fan.only one club for me.
i go to watch arsenal pretty regular and enjoy the day out.
spurs are shit regardless of my support

see i told ya

Strood works at arsenal

yes i know,i think his head is being turned

if true i fully expect redknapp to do a good job for spurs.pompey fans will be gutted and rightly so

 :french:

Can you blame him with the standard of footy he watches?!

yep,hes a cunt

you are as much of a yid as i am a gooner yeovil.i know who i'd rather get tagged as.
up the arse!

yeovil is just a trouble maker I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't like any football team at all

ha ha yeovil is just bitter that he is old now and strood is young, your 43 now arent you?

43 being the age of Alan Partridge of course

I'm a plastic Yid  :D

I go up there 2 or 3 times a year and watch them on telly.I only really go up there for the day out though and to get pissed.Im Swindon and that is all.

same as yeovil.i just get to see superior football

and I get to sit in a ground with atmosphere.

yeah a negative one.

i'm loving this tit for tat shit :)

makes a saturday night good, I need entertaining for an hour till my mrs comes home

I know it was before our lifetime but 6 FA Cups (Spurs have 2 more) and 4 First Division titles (Spurs have 2 less) suggest otherwise.

Newcastle are wank at the moment though as are Spurs.

I think 'arry is taking a risk but why not I guess. I doubt he'll last long.

i think Spurs fans will be happy that Comolli got the chop.

Won't be long before Spurs reclaim their rightful place as the capitals number one club.

Arsenal are like the Harlem Globetrotters: Pretty, but will never win fuck all.

ha i love this thread.

i don't in any way support Arsenal.

I don't however think that Spurs could have got anyone better than Redknapp, quality appointment.

i'm just happy that i'm there on Wednesday and will see his first post-match press, going to be great fun.

also what odds for Crouch to sign for Spurs in january?

i recon harry could well grab three or four of that bunch, they could really do with Diarra that's for sure.

Diarra is a must, as is Distin & Defoe

Sol Campbell to Spurs ;)

Spurs won a game  :eek:

Redknapp is a superb appointment. Hope he does well, one of the very best managers in the premiership. His achievements in the last few years put overrated twats like Wenger to shame.

Crouch to Spurs in January would be a good bet.

Defoe as well!!

 Harry took Soton down in 04/05....when he took over, they were marginally better off, than what Spurs  are now... the presence of the Sturrock bought Crouch, couldn't save them.

He almost saved Southampton in 2005, I don't think any other manager would have stopped them from being relegated until the last game but the way he saved Portsmouth in 2006 and then took them to the top half and winning the fa cup was incredible. It's worth remembering that Crouch was Southampton's only decent player back then, I don't think he'll have a problem keeping Spurs up this year.

I fucking hate that spiv Redknapp-I hope Spurs and Portsmouth both go down,along with Newcastle

I agree with bwb i mean fair play to redknapp he has spent all their money won 1 cup and fucked off, fair play indeed

I fucking hate all you plastic cunts that support premiership teams, you're just as bad as the cunts in the pub with a fucking shirt on. swindon and swindon only. fucking chancers.

It's only 9 games in, I have no doubt in my mind that Spurs will stay up... If results go their way they can be out of the relegation zone after the next round of fixtures for goodness sake.

The Premier League simply isn't the division full of quality that Richard Keys is constantly told to go on about - WBA, Bolton, Fulham, Stoke should all struggle while there are other clubs that can easily be thrown into it. Newcastle should survive aswell (although their situation is far more bleak as it stands)

The set-up was shite at White Hart Lane, Levy knows it. He's done what alot want done here and cleared out the first team staff.

Oh and what Mex said!

That is an absolute top quality post.

Its only Swindon for me. My eldest daughter is the same - her school mates are Chelsea, Man U etc but she's Swindon and Swindon only. She says we're crap but at least its her crap. 

Swindon is my only team aswell, bollocks to the premiership

I do look out for East Stirlings results though..

He hasn't spent that much in comparison to other teams in the top half of the premiership. Winning one cup is more than Wenger has won in the last few years and very good for a team like Portsmouth who don't often win anything. Now they've lost Harry I think it's pretty likely they will go down either this season or next unless they replace him with someone almost as good, especially if they lose Crouch.

Redknapp sells out every time.

I really couldn't give a monkeys about Spurs or Pompey, or Redknapp for that matter.

I reckon Allardyce or Curbishley might end up there

When I was at school, after Man Utd I think Spurs were the most followed club (maybe Liverpool). I think probably due to Gazza, Lineker et al.

Arry was an Arsenal fan as a boy.

I dont quite know what to make of him to be honest. Does seem quite motivated by money.

It can only be the money but why not eh? As soon as these young chaps become footballers, it's irrelevant who they watched as kids because the game becomes their occupation and not all can play for their boyhood teams. Obviously there are exceptions but it appears the case the majority of the time.

I'd sell out if I was him too.

i never expected redknapp to be named spurs boss.the bloke has built a great side at pompey and i'm baffled why he'd leave.it has to be money imo.
spurs are a massive club, and he will sort them out. to say wenger is overated is laughable.him and harry are completely different, but both do what they do very well.

The only thing I would say about Redknapp is that I don't understand why people like him so much.

Portsmouth-a "great side"?Are you sure?

He has done a good job at Arsenal. But he's not the second coming as some make out (hence overrated), look at the major trophy count. Sure they play nice football, so what.

adje.pompey are a very decent prem team.depends on how you perceive great really.
 batch. wenger managed a team that went unbeaten for over a season.he also gets virtual nobodys and makes them world class stars.
he is up there with the very best

who are these virtual nobodys?

i take it your joking yeovil?

Take your skull cap off Yeovil for fucks sake.

Viera, Fabregas, even Henry.

He's had great teams, not arguing. But look at the facts over 12 years:

FA Cups: 4
League Title : 3
League Cups :0
Euro Titles : 0

Nothing since 2005.

And George Graham:
League Titles : 2
FA Cups : 1
League Cups: 2 (?)
Euro (cup winner cup) : 1

Not much different. Certainly not in the same class as Fergie, or the Liverpool managers of their golden period.

Hasn't he been runner up of competitions loads though? Compared to the big spenders of Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, they do punch above their weight.

i'm not saying he is the best batch,but he's up there.
i'd say he's in the class of those you mentioned

haha!

Still really am baffled that people can say Wenger is over rated.
Just being at Arsenal for 12 years is an acheivement but if you look at the sort of club they were when he took over to what they are now it is outstanding.

Prem titles and Fa cups all over the place, not to mention CL and UEFA cup finalists and of course an unbeaten season.

All this while dealing with the black hole of a new stadium and still with a record transfer fee of only £11.5 million for Wiltord in 2000.

Arsenal are probably the only premier league side I'll actually watch, fantastic on the eye.

We'll have to disagree :)


I realise the affore mentioned stadium black hole probably explains where the money went, D&T state Arsenal produced the 5th biggest revenues in world club football 06-07 and were in the top 10 the previous 2 years! OK their transfer fees paid out may be low compared to some, but don't kid yourself they are an underfunded club working miracles with finances.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deloitte_Football_Money_League


That's a surprise, remind me where you work again?

Arsenal's annual wage bill is the equal of Man United's. Those virtual nobodies get paid surprisingly well.

I would argue that taking division 1 relegation fodder, keeping them up, getting them promoted and established in a higher division and then winning a major trophy, is at least the equal of maintaining a top 4 position for one of the country's biggest sides.

I think Monsieur Wenger is on the record saying he'd rather give his current bunch a raise than bring someone else in.

none of those were nobodys when they were signed

Henry cost 10 million for fucks sake.

Vierra 3.5 Million from AC Milan in 1996.

I get pissed off with hearing about these nobodys ,they are decent young players many with already proven international form at u21 level and such bought for bloody good money.They certainly arent nobodys.

Van Persie was what £2.5M? Anelka 500K?

I don't think people were saying that, I think they were pointing out that Wenger was resourceful.

wasnt Toure £150k? thats unbelievable

u can add Toure, Sagna, Denilson and Carlos Vela. who where plucked out and cost them cheap. Anelka was sold to Madrid for £23m.

Sagna was £6m wasnt he? doesnt compare to the rest

Come on Yeovil, no ones saying he got them out of a Strasbourg youth club!!! Hey you in that parisian fish stall, come and play for me at Arsenal.

Anelka.

When you look at players careers, the ones at Arsenal usually have their best run of form under Wenger. Its the mark of a great coach. Obviously he lets players go, but they never hit the same heights.

Papers rekon Capello wont be picking Bentley again, hes seen enough.

I think Spurs should have appointed Graham Roberts.

Bentley has shit out big time, few months ago he was trying to get ahead of brckham to start, now hes behind Walcott, Beckham, Wright Phillips, even Gerrard would prob play there ahead of him  if Joe Cole was fit and on the left

Although a good player - I think Bentley is a smug, so-far-up-his-own-backside twat... But most of the Prem players tend to be.

i think Bentley is a cunt, and not half as good as he thinks, hes slow cant beat a man just like Beckham, yet Beckham has a much better delivery

The Papers know nothing of Cappelos thoughts though do they?

They dont even know his team the day before a game,not that id pick Bentley on current form anyway.

still think you must be fishing?

fabregas was a nobody when he arrived and was free wasnt he?

Didn't Wenger oversee Henry's progress at Monaco?

[url width=360 height=165]http://www.feelbest.com/Graphics/logos/fishermans_logo2.gif[/url]

Firstly, I dont see why Harry would take a step backwards and manage Spurs. Must be money.

Secondly, in an era of English football that has for the most part been dominated by Manchester United Arsene Wenger has done bloody well to win 3 Premiership Titles and a couple of FA Cups. Apart from Manchester United its still more than Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and anyone else has won in that period.

I feel very sorry for the Pompey fans, as i have a few friends who follow them.Contracts mean
next to nothing in football these days.To a great extent managers and players (with the odd exception)
follow the money.Harry loves to wheel and deal and will no doubt do so at Tottenham.

Maybe Jon Stewart will be Landan bound now?

Liverpool and Chelsea have been way more successful than Arsenal recently, champions league wins and premiership wins are a lot better than scraping into the top 4.

I agree, I would say it's way more impressive and obviously the argument for Arsenal spending less doesn't hold up, they spend a ridiculous amount on wages which allows them to attract young players which other sides couldn't afford.

What he said innit.

ridiculous amount? at the AGM on Thursday it was revealed that they spent some £35m p/a less than Chelsea, about £14m p/a less than Liverpool and about £1m p/a more than Utd, but remember that United have bought three £30m+ players in the last five years.

Wenger is a great manager and has achived a lot given Arsenals inability to match man u and chelseas spending in the last 10 years.

He'd annoy the piss out of me if I were an Arsenal fan though. By all accounts he does now have money to spend since the move to the emirates generates huge amounts of money nad he wont spend it because of his youth philosophy.  I dont think there is anyone better at taking a raw talent and making them world class (yes he does pay decent money for some of them) but its there for all to see that they could be a better side if he spent money on a hard working partner for fabregas and a classy cerntre back.  As it stands their squad is not deep enough and their players lack experience. they wont win anything this year, but they'll play some fantastic football at times.

Which proves my point then. Do you think Portsmouth spend anywhere near that? If any other team had spent as much as that and won absolutely nothing in 3 years and not even come close to winning anything in the last two they would have sacked their manager by now. Redknapp won more at Portsmouth with a fraction of the budget.

Portsmouth are in some serious financial difficulty aren't they ?   What odds are they for relegation - I can certainly see a fire sale of their players to Spurs in January, and I'd take Spurs to finish higher than them in the league this season.

  Just to give some idea of the cost of changing your management team can cost, in this case it's costing Spurs approx 24 mill....5 mill in compensation to Pompey 10 mill to pay up contract of Ramos and Poyet, then 9 mill in in wages over 3 years to Redknapp.

 Of course in the case of STFC, the numbers wouldn't be so great, but it is an expensive business which the Malpas out brigade need to consider.

Even without sacking and paying off Malpas, today's Adver story suggests that we'll have to sell a player or two at some point this season just to break even.

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.2463335.0.the_hard_sell.php

In these times the most important thing is survival.

All he was saying is that without the selling of players we won't break even, so I guess the adver story isn't incorrect really. But it's nothing new. If the right offer comes in we have to sell because we are forecast to make a sizeable loss this year . It's no different from any other season or from any other club.

At the AGM he said similar to 'the ideal is to bring youngsters through, play them and sell at the right time for the right price/conditions, ideally bringing through 4, keeping 2 and selling 2' - the right conditions includes a healthy sell on clause. In face we apparently turned down a 'big clubs' advances for a player because they wouldn't agree the right deal regarding sell on/appearances/etc.

Reg - you might be double counting the contract/Redknapps wages there - they were committed to the ramos/Poyet contract if they hadn't changed the team.

I do agree it's an expensive exercise though and certainly needs to be taken into account.

Having seen Gomes' last two performances, what price David James to Spurs in Jan?

Having seen Gomes last two performances, I'd say he makes Calamity look like Schmichael.

I wouldn't rule out a bid to bring Defoe back to the Yids either.

Thats going to be some right shitty business if they did buy defoe back, no doubt for twice what they sold him for

Old Ruddy face is a loon to be ditching Portsmouth for the Yids.  I think he’ll do a decent job and dig them out of the mire but regardless of the league they’re in I can’t see him being flavour of the month for to long the season after. 

If I were Pompey right now I’d get on the blower to Ramos and offer him the manager’s job.  He’s dropped a couple of bollocks no doubt at Spurs and picked up a few more but he’s a class above in the managerial stakes and Portsmouth maybe right up his street.

 Fair point...today's news though does seem to back up the point though, that the Board aren't inclined to to pay up MM and co, and bring in new management...if MM does go, then Byrne/ Williams with possibly an upgrade of Bodin it will be.

Which still isnt as much as Wenger has won at Arsenal is it?

Chelsea - 2 Premierships
Liverpool - 0 Premierships
Arsenal - 3 Premierships

Champions league counts for 4 premierships.

I reckon 5 at least

Thanks for making me laugh.

spot on.
most arsenal fans see it how you do.they wont slate wenger even though they'd like him to buy players for big prices.they see him as having done so much good for arsenal they accept his way of running the club.

Thing is they wouldnt need to even spend that much by modern premiership standards.

With the undoubted quality of Arsenals scouting system they surely must be able to identify a good quality defensive midfielder and centre back for £10m each.  liverpool spent £7m on Skrtl who is pretty good and United spent about the same on Vidic who is excellent.  Instead he signs Silvestre because he was cheap (and french!) despite the fact he is clearly mediocre at that level.

So basically it is because of Wenger that they are a member of the big 4, but at the moment they are also not going to win anything because of him either. They have a small and young team who are going to get bullied into losing at points this season, in the past they could field Viera and petit who could both play, yet were physical too. currently they have Fabregas who is clearly ace and denilson who is not bad but very similar to fabregas.  Even last season Flamini was an excellent athlete who put in a lot of work and wasnt afraid to tackle.

here endeth the poinless post about arsenal.  slow day

i think Wenger will splash a bit of the cash in the January transfer window for Kolo Toure brother Yaya from Barcelona. The Board has said to Wenger the money is the there to spend it.

Looks like Pompey are going for Tony Adams.

Should have gone back for Avram Grant.

Yup, BBC 'understands' he has been appointed.

Very risky appointment IMHO.

I think its a bad move, Adams was pretty poor at Wycombe and although that was a while ago I still can't see him being a substitute for Harry.

Harry's quote is just asking for trouble:

"Joe is very experienced, Tony is up and coming in the managerial game and works very hard. I don't think either of them would do any harm, for sure."

Let's wait and see.

He just follows the trend of former Wycombe bosses headed into the top flight such as O'Neill and, erm, Lawrie Sanchez - Wycombe, the breeding ground for top-flight greatness

Joe Jordan will be really running the show though right?

Has Arry been at the Steve McClaren school for comedy dutchmen?

Yes, Steve Mclaren and 'Arry also.

This will end in tears!

Anyone remember Jordans stint in charge at shitty?

Yeah - player manager for a while too.......i remember a cup tie against Forest when he threw a ball in a Forest players face....quality.

He was good at Hearts. Jordan still has a better previous record than Adams, maybe he didnt want it?

Ha ha. Just (well half an hour ago, while I was having my lunch) heard an ex-Wycombe player saying on talkSport Adams would "relish the chance with both hands". Fantastic use of mix-metaphor football cliche there

Best one I heard was Chris Kamara on Soccer Saturday, describing a goal

"And *player* went through the defence, ball at his feet like a piece of string"

UNN-belIEEEEV-able

"They're fighting like beavers"

so if these great centre-backs for £10m are so easy to come by, why did AC Milan get Philippe Senderos?

Rio Ferdinand: "Giggsy's come in and taken up the mantelpiece"

Bentley has put Spurs ahead with a 40 yard volley! 1-0 Spurs at Emirates.

Yeah twas alright, caugh Alumnia off his line and away he went running to the Spurs fans.

Silvestre equalises.

more dodgy goalkeeping from Gomes.

Gomes' confidence is low - he was the reason they weren't losing 4/5-0 earlier in the season, now he's he's the reason they drop points.

Jamie Redknapp is a knob... He's trying to call a foul on something that really wasn't.

Erm, it was an obvious foul. Clear as day.

I know but I hate Jamie Redknapp with a passion and his hissy fit annoyed me.

He did get a little bit over excited. Nice to see Alan Smith plugging away to wind him up further...

It wasn't hard to - I like Alan Smith though :)

2-1 Arsenal now.

Gallas. Van Persie assist again.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't a free kick either... mental. Nice attempt at a save by Gomes again also. Lordy he's bad.

no way they could win 2 in a month.

It was bad enough to warrant SkySports doing a Huddlestone-has-fucked-up close up after the ball went in :D

Not bad, 43 seconds.

Gomes  = worse than Taibi was for Man U.

I liked that... his mum will be so proud!

Yep... Capture the image and it'll be on the wall in the morning.

Danny Invincibile has scored tonight for Killie.

I reckon Arsenal could get 5 tonight if they keep going forward.

....as Bent scores for Spurs.

2 to go DV :)

Maybe they could ;)

I was expecting a fight back,

4-2. I think it could end up 5-3.

....as Van Persie scores for Arsenal.

If Adebayor scores last I get my useless scorecast bets refunded!

Ooops, Almunia has Gomezed it.

And Van Percie makes it 4-2

4-3. Jenas.

Ooo... Surely not an equaliser on it's way?

4-4!!!

4-4. Lennon. HAHA

fucking 'ell!

Get the fuck in!

Cracking game!

WENGER OUT!!!

haha, ace.

just seen Bentley goal. what a strike.

Jamie Redknapp's cackle makes me want to kick him in the face (I don't think it was Keys and it certainly wasn't Smith)

Hahaha. Not a bad game, unless you are a Gooner.

I dont mind Redknapp as a pundit, he's alright just way over used - he's there every week.

You know wheel him out when Spurs or Liverpool are playing and at a push Chelsea to no need for him when its Fulham Vs Sunderland or something!

What an entertaining game! Goals, great play, mistakes... the lot!

Poor old Fatbury.

Best bit was the fan joining in the players' bundles for the 4th Spurs goal.

And Arsenal fans singing "1 - 0 and you fucked it up" 2 minutes into the second half.

he was right at the bottom! stewards were trying to grab him but he got smothered

'Mon the Yids :)

Watched this in the pub last night. The place was overun by plastic gooners.

As soon as Spurs fourth went in, they all left. Funny as fuck.

not a great start and at the moment it seems like a matter of time for Adams:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/7708725.stm

Martin Keown is so unbelieveably dull and uninspiring.

An old friend of mine who is an Oxford/Spurs fan once saw Martin Keown in Oxford (he's from there isn't he?) and asked him for his autograph... Keown apparently then quite literally ran away.

Don't know if he's from here but he lives here. I've seen the gormless twat on a few occasions. He wasn't as tall as I expected, and looks even more apeish in the flesh.

Shit pundits (that's 90% of them) really get on my nerves. I wish most of all for Alan Shearer to get off tv.

... a generous percentage I must say :D

 Shearer is indeed embarrassingly poor....he needs to have a go at management.

 Footballers are always smaller than what you expect them to be, when you see them in real life...the only one who I've come across, who seemed huge is Petr Brezovan.
 
 

I swam with Brez once, he can do 20 metres in 6 strokes. I can do it in 17 :)

I'm a reasonably good swimmer too. I have an aesthetically pleasing stroke.

Anyone else ever been swimming with a footballer, or even a celebrity?

John Barnes was retrieving his clothes from a locker next to me at centreparks once. I was on my way into the pool, he had completed his dip.

 When my youngest was about 2, I used to take him to mother and toddler splash.

 This was at the Oasis...of course PC meant they couldn't exclude a dad, so it was a wonderland of stretch marks, erect nipples and untrimmed fanny hair  :D

 The only other father who availed himself of the opportunity, was Tommy Jones. We didn't exactly swim together more shared the same pool.

 Speaking to my lad at the weekend, now 20, he remembered how his father had taught him to swim, so time well spent.

Ruddock is fucking massive.

 Lard don't count

Indeed he is.

 Contrary to footballers, cricketers always seem bigger in real life than they do on pitch.

 I once got quite close to Gareth Chilcott....his neck was about the size of the top of my thigh.

Keown has rejected a coaching job at Pompey. Is Adams having a bit of a dig at him?

"I think Martin is feeling that sitting on the sofa at Match of the Day and Football Focus is the way forward."

Hard to tell the context of the comment, especially as he follows it up with "It might not be right for here and now but in the future who knows. I might persuade him in the summer."

That's if you're still in the job Tony. Has the length of his contract been publicised?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/7703944.stm

I went swimming with Len Fairclough when I was a kid

I shared a sauna with david kerslake and ossie ardiles at south marston health club

Sorry.........strictly for us old'uns

that cant be right because I know who Len Fairclough is...

Is he the one from emerdale left pearl a widow. Nice bloke

Nah, he was the 'ard man in Corrie who owned the builders yard....

I got it Fred. "But he told me I'd drown if he took his finger out" was the joke doing the rounds at the time IIRC. Hell, now I do feel old, I'm in the Fred envelope

:thumb: :thumb:

Along with Max I presume ?

Didn't take long for Redknapp to get Spurs back out out the relegation zone. Now only two points from the top half of the table.

he is doing a great job.

Its quite amazing how hes turned  it around. .

Surely that's manager of the month sewn up already...

Weird appointment, but Ramos now manager at Real madrid.

Mental... he must fit well in the Spanish management set-up

As a spaniard who spent his whole career in spain i would guess so Lucien

fucking bizarre.

Cheeky

I don't find Ramos' appointment at Real at all suprising. It's win/win for both parties. In recent years Ramos has a good record in La Liga plus it's only until the end of the season. So mega-superstar name could be appointed in the Summer unless Ramos does the business.

Does that mean he is not coming to us now then?

Schuster might be though.

Spurs now in 9th, Redknapp has done an incredible job so far.

The bloke is a Leg end!

Oh do fuck off

 ???

How rude.

Well i dont see how he is a legend when king,cudicini woodgate modric well the list goes on have managed to get to 9th in the league.

Redknapp is a cunt. He'll be leaving Spurs when he gets bored and realises they won't do anything.

Might it be because much the same group of players were rock bottom with about 2 points? before he took over?

Oh that make him a legend then. Roy hodgson must be the actual god

Totally agree!

I would guess that Tottenham would've moved up the table if Ramos stayed - but the Premiership generally doesn't operate by such a system.

Redknapp has done the job required of him this season.

Course hes a legend!

Great a wii golf as well and his Mrs is a great footballer..come on!!  

LEGEND

Haha see those reasons i agree with

I think he's done a triffic job there.

I wonder if he knows Bert at all through his horsey connections.

Incidentally today's update on the blog is an enjoyable read.
