You’re having a laugh!! Hoddle is a rubbish coach who done more harm than good for us. The biggest problem with us is that we change our manager every 3 years or so. Where has it got us? Nowhere. If we are to change, Hughes isnt a bad choice. Would he, or anyone else, want to come to a club with the board we’ve got? Give it to Clive Allen or keep Jol. Not Hoddle

Tottenham must decide now rather than later. Is this coaching team capable of bringing about attractive but winning football? Results of the first four games prove that the coaching team, starting with the manager, must go.
Players show lack of belief, lack of teamwork, and lack of application. Sure there may be players who may have to be dealt with, but on the whole these are the failures of management.
The board may have handled matters badly and handled public relations embarrassingly worse, but the board has been right. If Tottenham is to be other than the best of the worst, the coaching team, not just the manager, must be changed.

Hoddle may be a legend at the lane but it was Levy who sacked him, hes hardly going to go back to him. It would be a right publicity disaster on top of what has already happened. WE should not sack Jol unless we are struggling at christmas time. Its been 5 games, its just form not an indication of where we are going to finish. He’s built this side and he has earned the right to guide it. The world wasnt made in 7 days and neither will a great spurs side be created in 3 years. Jol took over when we were 14th and we were 5th twice in a row there after. Its typical knee-jerk reactions. And although you said the same thing a year ago, you went silent quickly after. Hes done more for this club then any other man in the premiership era. Lets be patient, in Jol we trust.

Forget Glenn. Hes bloody awful. He’d sign a bunch of 30 year olds. As for Martin Jol, hes a good manager. I’m a Jol lover.

But I’d hate to see him leave WHL and if they want someone to replace him with. Theres someone 100% times better than Glenn Hoddle and thats Jurgen Klinsmann, the real genius.

I really really hope that was a joke! How on earth can you really wish hoddle back on spurs, as great a player as he was, he just isnt up to managing us. We havent truly had a great manager since terry venables, only much as i hate it did george graham look like reviving us and now again much as i hate it jol has done a fantastic job but is sorely lacking in his tactical decision making, shame that as you say he will be gone soon!

To be honest i dont know which manager would bring us out of this slump to be sure, but maybe a man with grahams defensive knowhow, hoddles way of attracting big name players (aka chelsea) and jols motivation at keeping the squad as massive and over employed at several positions as it is yet players dont want to leave, (example defoe) then if this person is out there please come and help the mighty yids cause i feel we have let ourselves down and are in need of some direction and soon before we lose out what we have achieved for the last 2-3 years altogether.

Hoddle!? You idiot! Talk about go backwards! Hoddle cocked it up and lost the dressing room within two seasons! Do you want to go back to that?

Is that the Glenn Hoddle who was in charge during the humiliating 4 0 stuffing in the cup against Southampton? The same Hoddle who made WHL the resting home for past its like Redknapp, Poyet, Ziege and Sheringham? The 5 -1 humping at the Riverside followed by the 4 - 0 destruction at home against Blackburn? The Worthington Cup defeat at Burnley? The same Hoddle who managed us to THREE 4-0 defeats in a row??

I’m assuming you were there for some of these games, I know I was. The board showed their naivety by leaving him in charge during the close season, then dumping him without a replacement then and now you’d like to see the same thing happen with Jol, our most successful manager in terms of league position since the start of the premiership after 5 games.

I’m as frustrated as everyone about our results, and maybe Jol isnt the man to take us higher then fifth, but then you blow your argument by mentioning dross like Peter Taylor (5 million for Ade Akinbyie) and yesterdaymen like Dalglish and Souness for Christ sake. Not even as a joke should any of these men be mentioned as candidates.

The question of availabilty is also important. Just because our board are so bereft of any class that they’d have no problems dumping a manager during the season, it doesnt mean a decent replacement would break his contract to join us. And most of the out-of-work managers about are out of work for a reason.

Finally, if the last few years have taught us anything its that the hire then fire approach we’ve taken during the last 15 years or so got us nowhere. If we can’t get in a high class replacement in now we have to wait until the seasons over, another year of a caretaker manager is just not an option.

I thought i was alone in the hankering after the second coming of Goddle, yes its a little twisted but i love the guy. 7 games into that season was all he got, shocker.
The best spurs player of all time.
Probably only me and you in the world who agree!
Footballwise, he did pretty well for england too as i seem to remember…

Are you taking the piss? I would rather stick with Jol than bringing Hoddle back,what you forgot to mention is with Hoddle in fighting never ends and his personality is his biggest problem.

Capello himself said he would take Spurs job if offered.

Capello or Koeman will do nicely.
