Dimitar Berbatov, Jermaine Jenas, Darren Bent, Pascal Chimbonda - you all let Jol down at Spurs

That sums it up quite nicely! had the players performed, and had Jol been provided with the squad additions he wanted, things would have been very different. Now, let's hope the deadwood gets cleared out (and to my mind that includes Jenas). I have a feeling the squad will look rather different come the end of January... I only hope a European place isn't out of our reach by then.

Realistically All managers are their as the Number ones, therefore success or failure is always addressed to the manager.My concern is only on one issue howcome Martin which almost managed a champions league post two seasons ago could not manage a squad of members that on paper have very good attributes when compared with other players. The most cruel sign in the squad is when you see the players arguing on the pitch, especially when things are not in the right direction. I presume that certain names from the squad must make way.

Robinson and Dawson to name too although I will go light on Dawson. I must agree on Chimbonda. We give Stalteri a hard time but I think if you look at our defensive record when he plays, I think it will be better. Maybe Jol should have played Chimbonda at right wing

"whilst the man Jol wanted to build his side around, Michael Carrick, was shipped off to Manchester United." Yes thanks to non-stop speculation by the media and sites like this one despite denials by the club. Remember, Carrick did not have long on his contract and the board did not want another Sol Campbell.

Great article - I wholly agree. We played our best football with Ledley King, Michael Carrick and Edgar Davids, and Comolli has failed to replace those three players (we should have assumed long ago that King was a "nice to have" when fit, and not relied on him being available). Berbatov's latter season run of form merely papered over the cracks in the squad. It astounds me how quickly our Director of Football has managed to destroy the dynasty that Jol was building. MJ is too much of a gent to say, but has dropped enough hints about the sort of experienced players he asked for, but didn't get. And Kemsley? he was brought in to do one thing: organize a bigger and better stadium. At this rate, West Ham's new 60,000 seater will be up and running before we have even got planning permission. I loved Martin Jol, and Martin Jol loved me. But Daniel just loved the money. Kemsley just loved himself. And Damien will always love the Ars*n*l... Next up: Daniel works out that swapping Ramos for Jol has co

...Daniel works out that swapping Ramos for Jol has cost him £30 to £35m, and wonders which sulky striker he needs to sell to balance the books before he sells the club...

Jol has no real ambition, intelligence and was far too negative in his approach to games. This was the reason the likes of berbatov lost respect for him, his tactical skills were terrible, how often over the last two season has he waited until it is to late to make a substitution, uefa vs servilla for one, umm cup games with arsenal bringing on a defender for your best attacking option. No idea, he was in the right place at the right time, he inherited a very good, talented side. Got to fifth (in a league where the same four teams dominated) which isnt much considering the quality of the rest of the league and the vasts amounts spent by European reknown directors in Arnersen and commoli. We have a very talented squad, very talented MJ was happy to refer to the past and never truly believed in the future positively, he lacked ambition, belief, positivity and the know how to get us to the higher dizzier heights. When drawing away to boro he talks in the interview as how in previous seasons ''this has al

But what happens now?How long will Ramos put up with the antics of Levy.My fear is that within 2 years he will also be gone.Spurs from being a fairly wealthy club are having their resources wasted away.Was the 16 million pounds spent on Bent, who was superfluous to their attacking needs, a commencement of a profiligate policy that will end in bankrupcy.Other great clubs have gone bankrupt.This continuous spiral of financial disaster can only be described as evyL ????

best of luck mr jol , you didnt deserve the treatment you recieved from the ' gutless , clueless mr levy. in my opinion , it should be levy that leaves the club . as a life long spurs fan , imsickend and ashamed by the way the board conduct thier buisness. im sure martin jol will become a huge success at his next club and prove levy wrong. as for some of the players , the should be ashamed of themselves - berbatov sulking like a spoilt child - if he feels he needs to go to a ' bigger club ' then go now . we dont want or need players like that . we want people who are proud to wear the shirt and work for the team . lets hope the new manager (ramos) will get rid of the deadwood and the sulkers.

When you buy a player for the kind of money like we payed for this bag of cack you have to try and fit him in which is where jol went wrong i think, he realised that 5 strikers was 2 many so he sold mido who i thought was good enough, the one stroke of summer genius was to buy a 18yr old kid but sadly cannot stay fit but im sure if he had of stayed fit bale would have surely given us more of a lift we needed, but you need to look at players like dawson and robinson who have performed way below par all season to go with the bigger names like chimbonda and berby and jenas is just pure crap he should be the 1st to see the exit door

i hope we get rid of berbatov, hes shown what a snake in the grass he really is, jenas isnt good enough, robinson is the main reason for jols downfall, chimbonda only plays for himself when he feels like it, zokora is second rate and as for bent***********, enough said.

When drawing away to boro he talks in the interview as how in previous seasons ''this has always been a tough place for us to take a point, so yeah we are happy you know'' In the past we never had a talended squad as the one who are blessed with, so instead of making excuses, say it was not acceptable, with the talent and chances we have we should have won this. Easy touch, just a big friendly giant, who was happy to always live off the fact he got us to two fifth finishes when in truth, a league dominated by four, Arsenal had a very poor season, and because of jol we dropped numerous points, because we conceded too many goals by playing soo deep, and defensive fearing the opposition instead of attacking them. Players lost interest in him of course, as a former player, a well respected one, i lost interest in jol over a year and a half ago. And berba was the same, how often did you see him gestering to push up, push up. By playing this way Jol does three things 1) Shows his team he has no confidenc

He didn't inherit a talented side. Spurs were still very much at the beginning of rebuilding when he took over, and the turnover of players has been massive whilst Jol has been there. Look it's very simple. Jol was never the boards long term choice. They wanted what they think is a top manager and thought they had that with Santini. Jol came in to steady the ship but in the long term they always wanted a higher profile name. Strangely probably to them Jol did almost, and that's the key word almost as well as they would have hoped their new man to do, but not quite enough. So now we move into a new era. The current men are unprofessional, and are wrong to insist on a director of football system. Jol is a top bloke, and when had what he did to work with before Commolli, showed he is a good coach. Not sure what to expect next, but I cant say I have much confidence in any of them right now.

who agrees that berba should be sold due to his childish antics ? would fergie still want him after his tantrum ?

inherited a talented squad in comparison to the other clubs in this league. Say what you like about the director of football season but i am a fan of the structure it brings. In the past we have had managers waste our money on all kinds of crap, at least with this system in place, we know we are buying to a certain criterior that involves young, talented players with no depreciation loss. Structure is in place, time for a manager who can inspire, a man who instills confidence in his players through thoughtful decision making policys. Something jol never possessed, just a nice guy in the right place at the right time.

who decided to waste 16 million on a bench warmer was it jol or camolli ? we seem to bought in many players that havnt produced the goods - according to reports , bale was the player jol wanted ? maybe im wrong but thats what i gather anyway

A consistent team needs a consistent club! The 2 top teams, Man Utd & Arsenal have kept with Sir Alex & Arsene, success doesn't come overnight, I would have been happy with a League cup win, building up to a real league challenge within another 2 years. Now it's back to square 1, a new manager with new ideas. I suppose the same old story will repeat itself in 2 years time when Ramos can't deliver immediately. Remember the other top contenders wont wait for Spurs to play catch-up. I fear that come next April all Spurs supporters will be celebrating - NOT GETTING RELEGATED!!!

Jay K - agree there is a lot of sense in buying talented youngsters, but you need some experienced heads around them. Just ask Harry Redknapp, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, Rio Ferdinand, Jermaine Defoe and Freddie Kanoute.... And that is something Martin knew, but Comolli didn't. Remember, when Comolli was at Ars*n*l, he inherited an experienced defence.

PLease put down that ps2 and get in the real world..please!, you have an opinion as we all have, fortunately some of us dont watch football expecting to win a trophy at the seasons end, you hope they will of course, but you should expect good, passionate football, every week. Why did Berba throw his dummy out?, why isnt Taraabt given a go?, why did we buy Bent?, Why isnt Defoe in the squad?, those are questions worth a reply to, not your obvious blind dislike of the former manager!, and was his hands tied by Commoli, in buying players that were not required and not those that were definately needed?, see ;proper questions, not just blind hatred

Once you buy something it's no longer your money,It belongs to THFC, Thats called professional football,and they do with it what they please, thats called business!, you can go to WHL or not thats called choice!

Definitely the sign of a good manager when he admits he shits himself at set pieces against us.
