So how bad was the Juande Ramos and Damien Comolli regime at Spurs? Well it took almost £150m on new players in the 16 months to undo the damage down by Ramos and Comolli.

Spurs spent £119.3m in the year ending June 2009, with another £29.4m invested since on the likes of Peter Crouch, Sebastien Bassong and Niko Kranjcar.

comolli and ramos did *try* to learn the basics.

As a seemingly fitting anniversary present for us and nearly exactly one year since his dismissal as head coach at White Hart Lane, (along with Damien...); Juande Ramos is once again out of a job. Seems that he can't keep one these days for love nor money.

St Etienne's Blaise Matuidi (L) maybe on his way to the Emirates

L'Equipe is reporting Arsene Wenger approached Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud inquiring about the services of Marouane Chamakh. The Bordeaux striker had his heart set for Sunderland when Laurent Blanc excluded that move saying it represented a step down and calling for him to remain in Bordeaux.

The men Sven won't want to emulate 1. Dennis Wise Not just a director of football, but Executive Director (Football). Regardless, the rat-alike failed to set the world alight with his recruitment policy. Since he was younger, less experienced and less famous than Newcastle's then manager, Kevin Keegan, you do have to question Mike Ashley's logic in [. Click to continue reading...

St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi still could move to Arsenal, after the Ligue 1 outfit's director of football Damien Comolli was contacted by the Gunners. Click to continue reading...

Let's get one thing straight. Damien Comolli is not a sociopath. As he reveals in his first interview since being sacked by Tottenham, he's just a man trying to correct some misconceptions about a job he did. You can say what you like, but that does not make him an amoral charmer whose primary psychological [. Click to continue reading...

Breaking: Damien Comolli has a new job in football. For what it's worth, the real St. Étienne was a martyr. Related posts:Harry Redknapp Is the New Manager of Tottenham Hotspur Related posts:

If there's one thing Harry Redknapp hates, it's a sporting director. Or a director of football. Pretty much anyone with a vague title who tells him what to do in the transfer market. 'Arry famously quit as Portsmouth manager when Velimir Zajec was appointed director of football, and has taken the Tottenham job on the understanding [. Click to continue reading...

That is, writes a desperate, face-saving open letter to Spurs fans on the heels of a botched eleventh-hour manager swap. I like to imagine the story of Daniel Levy at this point as the saga of a man who wanted to do the right thing and resign from his position, but found he simply couldn't [...] Click to continue reading...

There aren't enough exclamation points in the keyboard for this, so here's the dry report. Juande Ramos is out at Tottenham, and according to the Guardian as well as several other sources Harry Redknapp has agreed to replace him. The Tottenham website, cautious instrument that it is, admits only to holding talks. Click to continue reading...

The BBC is reporting that the house cleaning at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has begun. Manager Juande Ramos, Sporting Director Damien Comolli, and first team coaches Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez are all looking for work after being sacked Saturday night ahead of their tie with Bolton Wanderers on Sunday.

What's most revealing about the demise of Tottenham Hotspur is not how Juande Ramos appears so dispassionate and out of his depth on the touchline, but how Spurs fans are blaming the downfall of their club on Damien Comolli and not Ramos. In two separate polls conducted by EPL Talk, fans appear to more upset about [. Click to continue reading...

It just does not get easier at White Hart Lane. After splashing the cash (£16.5 million) on Modric in the hopes that he would fast track Spurs to a CL spot, it appears that Ramos and Damien Comolli are are losing faith and are targeting Andrei Arshavin for the January transfer.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR The good: Winning the Carling Cup last season went some way towards vindicating Daniel Levy's decision to replace Martin Jol with Juande Ramos. Ramos looks pretty wily too – he's dumped the guff (Robinson, etc) and somehow convinced Liverpool to pay £20 million for Robbie Keane. Click to continue reading...

Fred Rutten isn't the only new Dutch manager in the Bundesliga, as ex-Tottenham Martin Jol took over the reigns of Hamburg earlier this month. It's been nearly 30 years since Jol's last appearance in Germany. He made 9 appearances for Bayern Munich as a midfielder in 1978/79 before returning to the Netherlands [.

And by "the Spurs", I'm not referring to the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, and I'm well aware Tottenham Hotspur are "Spurs", not "the Spurs", as Americans unfamiliar with soccer sometimes wrongly presume (paging Bill Simmons).
