Daniel Levy has FINALLY spoken truthfully (sort of) in admitting, in relation to the Jol-Ramos debacle:

“Obviously with any speculation sometimes there’s an element of truth.”

In an article I previously wrote, about whether the removal of Jol would cause instability at Tottenham, I am of the firm belief that it would.

Whoever were to come in, with perhaps the exception of Mourinho, would not be able to take Tottenham to a top four position without having stabilised their position at the club for at least a couple of years.

Jol, however, feels not even the Portuguese tactician could have done what he did at Tottenham:

“No one could’ve done better, I firmly believe that. Not even Mourinho.”

What is needed from the big Dutchman now is evidence that he really is the best man for the job. We must beat Aston Villa on Monday, and start stringing together some Premiership wins or all Jol’s talk will be for nothing.

If we do not improve we will be languishing in mid-table. The dilemma will then be, to keep the faith in Jol for some kind of turnaround, or sack him, accept that Tottenham cannot qualify for Europe, let alone Champions’ League this year and try to rebuild for next year.

Levy has already publicly backed Jol since trying to get rid of him didn’t work, and as Jol himself said if the board had wanted to sack him, they “probably would have made a decision already.”

So, results is what we need, lets hope we get one against Villa.
