Time to go

Premier League Tottenham Hotspur
by IANOFTHELANE (U12788752) 12 October 2008
comment on the article

At the start of the season I wrote that I was hoping for about 14 points from the first six games,as an insight to how our season would go.I do n`t want to go too much over the same old ground,but I am after somebody`s blood and the first one is Commoli ,sack him and get the others a bit more focused.Why did it come as such a shock and suprise to The Three Wise men that Berb wanted to go?Its obvious that he and Keano were papering over the cracks.I think as well that we should get the skipper spot sorted out and that Ledley should make a public statement resigning the captaincy.We need a full time leader and its not Jenas.Ledley stepping down would clear the way for Woody ,or what might be ,an even bolder move for the future,Gareth Bale.What do Spurs fan think about that?

I like the look of the non performing Spurs team.
Good Manager too, Martin Jol is.

Commoli is a legend at Arsenal.

Arsene realising his scouting 'abilities' and sent him down the road, to 'help' spurs.

Job well done i say. ok

Take Jol back at any cost, Ramos is all at sea and will be your downfall if he stays in charge for another 10 games.

Spurs are no longer just a football club but a business. Hence a Chairman needs a manager and coaching staff for the team and as any publicly quoted company there are various directorial functions at the club and one of them has to be a Director of Football. Whether Comolli is good or not, Ramos and Poyet must look to the circus for inspiration. Let me explain. A trapeze artist nor an acrobat nor a lion tamer can do their job in half measures. All functions are dangerous if not trained and executed properly. An acrobat doing his job half heartedly would not only look silly but could break his neck etc. if he got it wrong. That's the inspiration I'm talking about that Spurs need.

Spurs will not lose matches if they don't concede goals. Fundamental I say. Therefore if the rest of the team gain confidence from a back four and a goalie, the next training perfection has to be the midfield. The back four cannot have any confidence if the midfield give the ball away--cheaply and the forwards cannot get the confidence if they cannot trust the midfield to give ball to feet or present ball to head. Simply fundamental.

I think the forwards will deliver eventually if seven eights of the team function properly. Spurs forwards are having to work far too hard to get the ball--expending so much time in doing so that the end product is worthless in the end.

Unless Spurs operate to perfection in all departments then there is absolutely no hope for the fans expecting results week in and week out. There will only be disappointment in the end. The coaching team need to get this perfection. Circuses only look spectacular because the artists are perfect and they all do what they have to do perfectly. Its that perfection that makes them look good. Spurs should aim for that. Nothing to do with Comolli at all. Its the way they are taught and brought on!

Why does it come a surprise that the players are not playing as a team when there is such a high turnover of players. If you look at the good clubs they dont buy and sell 11 players every transfer deadline, they have a core of players and this is refinned, not demolished and rebuilt every year. No wonder there is no continuity. Bring back Martin Jol

If Levy was the fan he says he is, then why did he employ Comolli who was from Arsenal??? Comolli should have gone after the Martin Jol debacle. Who's laughing now? Comolli who brought in "One-Day" Ramos or the Management at Hamburg who brought in Martin Jol.
