Juande Ramos thinks his job is safe

September 29, 2008

Foreign football managers never cease to amaze me with their lack of understanding of the English game. Tottenham’s Juande Ramos has come out and said he believes his job is safe, when his side lay bottom of the table on 2 points, without a league win and having managed their worst start to a league season for 53 years.

What season has he been watching? Does he not even remember how he got the job in the first place, as Martin Jol was replaced after guiding Spurs to their highest every league finish just months earlier?

His job is more jeopardy than rare bottle of lager at Paul Gascoigne’s house. I’d be surprised to see him still there at the end of the week.

However he still insists his job his safe. After the defeat to Pompey he was asked he though he still had the dressing room:

Absolutely, we speak regularly and everyone is aware of our delicate position.

But whether I survive is for the chairman and the board to decide.

I’m not hurt (by the fans’ abuse). What hurts is not winning matches.

Ramos came in for extra abuse when he substituted their new striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and brought on Darren Bent, when they were 2-0 down and chasing the game.

We have been playing with two strikers in most games but we used just one against Newcastle (in the 2-1 Curling Cup win) and it worked better.

Bent had played every minute of the six previous games and needed a break.

Yep. Give it a week and he’ll be out.
