Bye Bye Martin
So Jol has gone. Hardly a secret, and probably one of the most shocking treatments of a manager by a board that I can remember.
It does mean that in less than 2 seasons Darren Bent has seen 4 managers depart from 2 different clubs…

Paul Kelmsley was grinning like a cheshire cat tonight behind Daniel Levy as he tipped off every paper under the sun that he had finally got his man Jol sacked.
I am absolutely gutted that we have lost Jol and I blame the board for results and morale. They totally undermined the manager earlier in the season from that point forth there was no recovery. I am sick to death of ENIC and these bastards who own our club. It is like a wolf in sheeps clothing only the sheeps clothing is our beloved tottenham.
I have supported Spurs since I was a kid but I have never felt more repelled from what spurs has become today. Sack the board. If you are a true fan stand up and make your anger and feelings known. The board must go! Let the club know your feelings…

Not a Spurs fan myself…but must admit that I was hoping that they would do well this season as the Premiership desperately needs another team to regularly challenge the predictable stranglehold that the so-called big 4 have on the Champion’s League places (noticed how for Benitez the Premiership has been reduced to an easy CL qualifying phase?)
I wrote this post because I was impressed with the dignity that Jol behaved with throughout the whole process. Let it be remembered that the board started looking for a new coach BEFORE the sequence of bad results [apparently an offer was made for Ramos on the 31st of August] had really got started. In fact, as fans seem to realise, it was this which set the crisis in motion and I was pleased to see that they gave Jol a decent farewell.
