And it is finally here, the headline that journalists everywhere have been dying to write in order to appear poetically amusing, "Vamos to Ramos!"
It was perhaps inevitable. As soon as Spurs Manager, Juande Ramos was given the Tottenham Board's full backing, a sacking was imminent. This sequence of events has happened many times before in football and will no doubt happen again. With just 2 points from 8 premiership league games and an early exit from European competition looking likely, Tottenham had to do something.
So what did they do?
The Tottenham board sacked Spaniard Juande Ramos and hired Portsmouth Manager, Harry Redknapp! This should be interesting.
Of the current Tottenham squad, Redknapp commented, "They have a decent squad on paper, although it's not a well-balanced squad, it's a squad with good ability, very skillful players, but maybe a bit of a soft centre. We need a little bit more strength and aggression about the team if we're going to survive. You don't pick up two points if you're that good."
First team coaches, Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez also leave the club as does sporting director Damien Comolli.
Clive Allen will temporarily fill in as Manager for Tottenham's game today against Bolton. Often when a side has a new manager, the team, conscious that they are now fighting for a place to stay in the squad, play a bit better. Lets hope this is the case today.
