Jols loses 1st 2 games, wins 3rd and they are planning a new manager behind his back. Fergie gets 2 points out of 9 which is 1 less than Jols so does that mean he is going too?
ps. Now I know how much you dislike us Scottish people, Warnock rumoured to want Inverness job.

I agree about the lack of loyalty but unfortunately, like in many sports, it is brought about by MONEY, a component spoiling many sports as I knew them.
Always happy to defend the Dutch, I've heard there is more to it than Spurs's poor start. It could revolve around the fact that the Spurs management are trying to dictate to Jol - eg. we provide the money, we supply the players (Darren Bent) - your job is to coach them. Jol is apparently uneasy with this plan - for example I wouldn't want Bent in my set-up but he is purchased and the manager is then told it's your role to get the best out of him.
Things have gone sour and there was plenty of activity on betting exchanges last week about Jol leaving - most of these people are shrewdies and I think it's a disagreement about roles, which don't sit too well on poor results.

In many countries, this is routine practice; they don't have a manager as we understand the term, merely a coach. It's never been so here (obviously).


As for loyalty ... I'm still in a complete fog as to why anybody would ever have expected to see it in the first place. If I work for Smith Tools Ltd., and Jones Tools Ltd. offer me twice as much money to do the same job, I switch. If Gerrard works for Liverpool, and Arsenal offer him twice as much money to do the same job, he'd be a fool not to do the same.

I think loyalty to one club vanished a long time ago scottishdude. Jol has done a good job at Spurs, they have only played 3 games:loopy:, like most of the board members these days they only want to see more pound signs.££££££££££££. Unless your Milan Mandaric , then who knows what he wants.:confused:

He must be a fool then. Ask Chelsea ;)

You see, there is still some loyalty within our wonderfull club :D
