This headline from the Telegraph’s website proclaims that: “Juande Ramos has restored Tottenham’s pride.” It only goes to show how quickly things can turnaround in the cut-throat world of football. The story was written just eight months ago in February.

Spurs fans might be divided on who to blame for their current situation, and whether or not Ramos should be fired from his post or given more time, but few would say they are proud at sitting at the foot of the Premier League.
