      Martin Jol leaves Spurs

      Tottenham Hotspur manager Martin Jol has parted company with the club after their poor start to the season.

      Jol tendered his resignation before taking charge for the game against Getafe - a 2-1 defeat in the Uefa Cup.

      Spurs, who are third from bottom in the Premier League, have won just one league game after spending heavily during the summer transfer window.

      Sevilla coach Juane Ramos has reportedly agreed to become Spurs' new manager at the start of next season.

      it was claimed Spurs met Ramos in August with a "dizzying" offer to replace the 51-year-old Jol at White Hart Lane.

      The Times newspaper has also reported Gus Poyet, the former Tottenham and Chelsea midfield player, has been approached to become the assistant manager.

      During the defeat to Getafe in a a Group G game Spurs fans gave vocal support to the Dutchman singing "Stand up for Martin Jol" during the match.

      Jol took charge of Spurs in November 2004, taking over from Frenchman Jacques Santini and under the Dutchman the club twice qualified for the Uefa Cup.

      Having recruited the likes of Darren Bent, who cost £16.5m, Gareth Bale and French defender Younes Kaboul during the summer, Tottenham had high hopes of challenging for a Champions League place.

      But Spurs have suffered a disastrous start, recording just one victory - the 4-0 win over Derby in August - and since the reported meeting with Ramos, Jol has faced constant questioning over his future.



      Not surprised. They've had a crap start to the season,and losing to Getafe was the final straw.

      Seemed like a nice bloke - but as we all know - no room for them types in football.

      I think Jol is a great guy, and a great manager, hope he gets another job soon.

      Spurs just haven't clicked this season have they? Which is sad cause they are usually a top 5 or 6 team and now they are looking at relegation? Crazy game this is.

      What are they gonna do for the rest of the season then, get a manager in on a 1 year deal? Or just have a caretaker manager??

      It appears he was sacked now! (we knew that anyway though didn't we....)

      Jol sacked as Tottenham manager 
       
      Tottenham Hotspur confirmed the sacking of manager Martin Jol following the club's Uefa Cup defeat by Getafe.
      Reports swept around White Hart Lane during the match that Jol would be leaving but his departure was not confirmed until later on Thursday.

      "I shall never forget the Spurs fans," Jol said in a statement released by the club, which also sacked the Dutchman's assistant Chris Hughton.

      Clive Allen will manage the team for Sunday's game with Blackburn.

      Former Spurs player Allen is the club's development coach and he will be helped to prepare for the game by youth team manager Alex Inglethorpe.

      "For me, Martin and Chris' departure is regrettable," said chairman Daniel Levy.

      "Our greatest wish was to see results turn in our favour and for there to be no need for change."

      Sevilla coach Juande Ramos has reportedly agreed to become Spurs' new manager at the start of next season.

      It was claimed Spurs met Ramos in August with a "dizzying" offer to replace the 51-year-old Jol at White Hart Lane.

      But with Sevilla in the Champions League Ramos opted to see out his contract with the Spanish club which expires next summer.

      Ramos is regarded as one of the most promising coaches in European football after guiding Sevilla to back-to-back Uefa Cup titles.

      Sevilla beat Spurs on the way to their success in last season's Uefa Cup, while Ramos also led his side to third in La Liga and victory in the Copa del Rey - Spain's top domestic cup competition.

      The Times newspaper also reported Gus Poyet, the former Tottenham and Chelsea midfield player, has been approached to become the assistant manager.

      During the defeat to Getafe in a Group G game Spurs fans gave vocal support to the Dutchman, singing "Stand up for Martin Jol".

      Jol took charge of Spurs in November 2004, replacing the unpopular Frenchman Jacques Santini, and under him the club twice qualified for the Uefa Cup.

      Having recruited the likes of Darren Bent, who cost £16.5m, Gareth Bale and French defender Younes Kaboul during the summer, Tottenham had high hopes of challenging for a Champions League place.

      But Spurs suffered a disastrous start, recording just one victory - the 4-0 win over Derby in August - in 10 league games and since the reported meeting with Ramos, Jol has faced constant questioning over his future.

      Jol's agent is currently in Brazil and was unavailable for comment late on Thursday as regards the terms of the Dutchman's severance package.

      "Given what he did last season I don't think he will have a problem finding a new job," said Getafe boss Michael Laudrup after his side's win.

      Jol has been linked with Dutch club Ajax who are without a permanent coach following Henk Ten Cate's departure to Chelsea.

      Torres and Berbatov would actually be insanely good.

      Heard he had 'agreed' to resign before the game.  Then told the players after the final whistle.

      Surely the players would've heard stuff though, I think they knew before the game tbh. Dunno though.

      Has he left Seville for definite now??

      Sad to hear Jol leaving. To be honest in games against the scums, arse, bluenoses and chekski i've been continuously swering at their managers but when against Spurs, amazingly i don't, even though they scored 2 against us, that goes to show how much respect i have for this man. Real gentleman and an honest block. All the best to him and hope to see him back real soon in the PL.
