Although I may have omitted it from my profile information, I'm a big Tottenham Hostpur fan. So it was with a combination of dismay and disappointment that I read of our much-loved, big Dutch bear of a manager Martin Jol being given the dreaded 'vote of confidence' by our erstwhile sensible-seeming chairman Dan Levy. The BBC sports site describes it thus.
A friend of mine (who shall remain anonymous) is currently doing some work experience at White Hart Lane, and is privy to some serious insider information. According to my source, Jol is already halfway out of the door, with touted replacement Sevilla coasch Juande Ramos having
already visited the club. I don't know if I believe this, or whether I even want to admit I do, but it does seem unlikely. Nonetheless, managers who are given the backing of the board do have a nasty habit of letting the door hit them on the arse on their way out mere weeks later.

Then, and only then, should the club contemplate giving such a legend his marching orders.
