Who would you fire from Tottenham?
Spurs’ woeful start to the season has heaped pressure on two key figures at White Hart Lane. The players might be taking some of the flak, but they are not likely to lose their jobs over the team’s current relegation form. No, it is the off-field personalties who face the chop. Fairly obviously the man…
The Tottenham Hotspur theory of relativity
The more you spend, the worse you play. That is it in a nutshell – Spurs never perform well when they have splashed the cash. Juande Ramos and his team of multimillion-pound signings are bottom of the table with just one point from their opening four games after a 1-2 defeat at home to Aston…
Safe or Not? The 08-09 Manager Sack Race

Can Juande Ramos lead Tottenham to an assault on the big four?
There was a mixture of immense disappointment and great celebration and pride at White Hart Lane last season. Before a ball was kicked Tottenham were looking good.

Blackburn and Tottenham must do better to deserve European football

Ramos to play Football Manager this summer, what will Tottenham look like next season?
After a turbulent season as replete with failure as success — an extremely disappointing league position and a whimpering exit from the UEFA Cup compensated only by a euphoric Carling Cup win — one gets the feeling that Juande Ramos and his team are to take advantage of the long summer break to effect a…
