Just heard on the radio that Santini has left Spurs because of personal problems. Bit of a disaster for spurs.

He struck me as another Christian Gross. I think Spurs should go for Martin O'Neill. It would be a job that O'Neill would surely be tempted by. I know Celtic are his boyhood club but this is his chance to move to a big club.

Well said that man.
Jesus Christ Folks are we not swamped enough in our national press with English Premiersh*te without it polluting this part of the forum. There is a space for talking about foreign footie on this site. Could some moderator shift it there please?
BIG CLUB??!?!?!?!?!?!?
You are having a ****ing laugh, yes?
Come on, JPM. If you really think that Spurs (pah!) are a bigger club than Celtic, you'd be better sticking to discussions about hair care and nightclubs. Honestly, some people...

As you can see, I was deflected from the point I was about to make by an utter irreverance. Spurs bigger than Celtic? As if. Consider yourself dealt with, JPM.
Santini's departure will actually work out well for Spurs in the longer term. If they have any sense, they'll appoint their coach Martin Jol as manager. He's recognised by Frank Arnesen as a clever tactician. Apparently, the only reason he wasn't given the job the first time around is because he wasn't "high-profile" enough.
Personally, I think having Jol in charge will only help Robbie Keane. Who knows, young Stephen Kelly may even get a game now...

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to
announce their new manager tomorrow
with assistant coach Martin Jol
favourite to succeed Jaques Santini.
Santini resigned on Friday and Jol took
charge for yesterday's 3-2 defeat to
Charlton before stating his desire to
manage the club on a full-time basis.

I heard something similar. Apparently this Arnesen guy never liked Santini, and they had had problems right from the word go. I still think that JS would have done well with Spurs eventually, i mean you can't expect instant results.
And BTW-Spurs are a bigger club than Celtic, no matter how much you'd like to think they're not.
And this is the GENERAL FOOTBALL section of the site, not the eL section. If you don't care, don't read it. SIMPLE.
It's now in the General Football forum but it started off in the EL forum so they were right to ask for it to be moved.
On topic, I dont think it'll make too much difference to Spurs in the long run, the assistant Jol is highly rated
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Er, I don't think so. Quite apart from drawing twenty thousand fans more to each and every home game than Tottenham and having a global fan base bettered only in British football by Manchester United, Celtic play Champions League football almost every year. I can't honestly think of the last time Spurs made any sort of impact in European competition.
Having television money to burn (approximately ten times more than Celtic for domestic football) does not make Tottenham a bigger club. Not a chance.

Better than Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool? Let's see some evidence, PP...

I can't give you hard-and-fast numbers, DG, but a Nike spokesperson came out with this recently at a press conference to launch the new kit deal that they have signed with the club. To add to that, and as near as any evidence I can find to substantiate this claim, there are Celtic supporters' clubs in over eighty countries around the world. Despite a search on Google just now, I failed to turn up anything about the global reach of the other three clubs.
Anyway, back to Santini. Three million quid for four months' work. That's about twenty five large a day. A grand every hour. Nice work if you can get it.

Don't take the bait PP
celtic bigger than THFC joke.they might have a supporters clubs in every city populated by irish catholics but alot of this is not based on football but religoin.as a previous post said if you started getting behind your local el teams you might one day have a football club as big asTHFC steeped in football history
Sperz were last invited to appear in glitzy international tournaments in USA, when?
Sperz were last in a European final, when?
Sperz had over twenty thousand away fans at a UEFA Cup fourth round game, when?
Sperz have how many supporters clubs around the world?
Sperz aren't even regarded as a big club in Ingerland anymore so how they can be regarded as a bigger club then some one who plays European football every season in front of sixty thousand people is beyond me.
Oh by the way I think that you'll find every league and non league club in the world is steeped in history.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
Would O'Neill not have more money to spend on sorting out the squad at Spurs? Celtic are clearly a bigger club than Spurs, however, probably have a hell of a lot more money to spend there than at Celtic.
Can't see it happening, because of the structure at Spurs, rather than any of the untangible reasons....
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Unfortunately (for me and few others from around here) this is all too true

Martin Jol has been confirmed as Tottenham's new head coach.
Director of football Frank Arnesen declared the news to the club's shareholders during the AGM at White Hart Lane.
The 48-year-old replaces Jacques Santini at the helm following the Frenchman's surprising decision to leave the club on Friday evening.
