Poyet and Comolli away as well. agree very strange timing. not sure what to make of this, Ramos is a good manager (although refused to learn the lingo) might be for the best. come on the yids!

starryfish Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Harry on SSN now saying he will be the new Spurs manager, deal done tonight. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Spurs obviously plotting this through out the day as doubt this would all have happened tonight in space of half an hour. Jimmy for Pompey! Link to comment
tutankamun Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Harry on SSN now saying he will be the new Spurs manager, deal done tonight. boost. make no bones about it though, this is a crisis appointment for Spurs. Harry would never have got the job if we weren't in the situation we are currently in. when he took over at Portsmouth he was there to take them to the next level i.e. win a cup / qualify for europe. he did a brilliant job at that. he's now at Spurs to stop us getting relegated, which I'm sure he'll do but that's it. I doubt he'll be there long term. Spurs are basically starting from scratch again. Link to comment
Slim Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Strange timing. Not really, with the clocks going back, he's got an extra hour with the squad. Link to comment
archiemacdougal Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Strange timing. Thought they would of waited until after tomorrows game, see what happened. Poyet and Comolli away as well. At least they didn't do it during a game this time. Link to comment
s1dnk Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ramos got lucky at Sevilla, writing was on the wall when he refused to learn the language. Not a given the 'arry will get them out of trouble either because they are worse than sh1te just now. Love seeing them at the bottom of the table, long may it continue. Link to comment
Guest rocket_scientist Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Spurs sack Ramos, and surprise the football world by appointing Redknapp. Bish bash bosh. Done deal. Problem identified. Problem excised. Beautiful. Reminded me of PLG at Ibronx. Murray and/or Bain identified the problem - an underperforming manager - spoke to a potential successor behind the scenes, got agreement in principle from him, then wielded the axe, taking the Scotland manager back to Rangers. Consider the AFC angle. We have exactly the same problem, according to the majority of AFC fans, a manager that is marking time, with no stomach for the future, and zero ability to get anywhere near the indisputable potential that we have. There is a big difference with the Ramos, PLG and the Blunderwood situations though. At Spurs and Rangers, the board acted to line up a successor, then wielded the axe to cut out the festering problem. At Aberdeen, our DoF doesn't even see fat orangeman as a problem, thus the contract extension. On here, two of my "opponents" in particular - and it is always healthy to have opposing views in debate, thus enabling us all to see the extended, bigger picture and consider all possibilities - have repeatedly challenged my debate by asking me to stipulate who should succeed the inept obese one. My answer was to say that my opinion doesn't matter, as I am not qualified, not working in football, to ideniify his potential successor and to see if they might be available. They then attempted to discredit my argument by saying it was a cop out not to say who should be the next manager, repeatedly pointing out the incongruity of my saying on one hand not qualified to appoint a successor, but on the other qualified to say there is a problem. Their desperate attempts to twist the debate will be based on their own reasons and their own motivations, and much as I couldn't care less what these people have to say, the Ramos/Redknapp and PLG/Smith situations are excellent examples whereby a club acts behind the scenes to fix a known and identified problem. This is what Aberdeen should have been doing, in my book, well before now. Rumours of McGhee in within 48 hours were disappointing. Much as I would welcome anyone instead of JC, if there were any basis of truth in AFC talking to him about the possibility, then the fact that it came into the public domain was disgraceful and unprofessional and self-defeating. The well run, ambitious and progressive club does not air its moves in advance, although a half decent run clun would never have given that blundering idiot a 3 year deal earlier this year. Spurs fans went to bed last night with anxiety and concern and woke up this morning with renewed hope and anticipation for the rest of the season. What have we got to look forward to? Miller thinks fatman was worth an extended deal. The fans, including the ones who he's driven away already,.do not. Link to comment
Broughty Ferry Arab Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Looks like Ramos speaks English to me in the clip in this link. Flash 'arry will love this move. A bigger club means bigger transfer fees, which mean bigger brown envelopes. Link to comment

Not a given the 'arry will get them out of trouble either because they are worse than sh1te just now. Love seeing them at the bottom of the table, long may it continue. 2 UEFA Cups, a Super Cup, 1 Copa Del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup would suggest he was far from lucky at Sevilla. Link to comment
K-9 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Defoe and Kaboul back to Spurs with 'arry? Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not kaboul would take defoe back. Another quiet day in North London. COME ON HARRY. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I wonder if Harry will do a similar job to what he did when he took over Southampton when they were at the bottom of the Premiership? Link to comment

rgudon Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 2 UEFA Cups, a Super Cup, 1 Copa Del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup would suggest he was far from lucky at Sevilla. on sunday supplement one of the hacks was intimating ramos was almost trying to get sacked relating to some of his descisions on the park Link to comment

I read today that he had lost the dressing room. The results this season have been shocking. Hey Ho. Sack Ramos, 1-0 up already today! Take heed, Milne. Link to comment
