Can Ramos make Spurs acheive what Sevilla had like Uefa cup and a title challenge?

Will the partnership work ?Would this partnership work or it wouldnt matter if Spurs didnt go for Poyet?

How much budget would he get?

What would be first signings ? Sevilla players (palop,Alves etc) or non Sevilla players?

Ramos is a mark above Jol tactically, and built a good team at Seville without a massive amount of money. Given time and a decent budget he could do very well indeed.

I expect him to sell Bent and buy Kanoute, and then look at getting a proper left winger and a balanced central midfield (rather than two sitting midfielders or two goalscoring midfielders). They could also do with a centrehalf as Dawson seems to have lost what composure and sense he had, and is becoming a talentless hoofer - a poor man's John Terry, who is himself a poor man's Terry Butcher.

And then there's the big position - goalkeeper. They should sell Robinson to whoever will buy him and find themselves another keeper, because he's at fault for about 1 in every 3 goals that they concede, so about one goal a week of late. That's not good enough for a side looking to break the top four next season.

Good luck to him & Spurs though.

Dear Supporter,

Today we welcome members of our new coaching team to the Lane - Juande Ramos and Marcos Alvarez and, in doing so, we bring to an end an unsettled two months for our Club.

Much has been written and speculated about the Club in the past few weeks. Quite clearly there are always two sides to every story but, in the interests of the Club, we have endured much criticism without responding or retaliating. We have instead issued statements, when appropriate, containing accurate and relevant information.

For you, the supporters, there are two particular issues on which I would now like to comment: Firstly regarding reports about Thursday evening - the first time Martin and I met to discuss his position was after the match, there were no discussions prior and there were none of the reported disagreements. We would not have, in any case, asked Martin to take charge of the match under those circumstances. Media speculation which preceded the game, inaccurately reporting Martin as having resigned, was in no way a deliberate measure by this Club, in no way served our purposes and we have resented any suggestion that this was the case. Leaks (which are wholly unacceptable) and speculation accompanied the game and it is a sad and regrettable aspect that individuals get caught in their midst.

Several events clearly did not happen as we all would have wished and I am the first to admit that things could have been handled differently and better.

Secondly, I should like to once again outline how the acquisition and disposal of players works at the club. We have a Football Management Group which meets on a regular basis – this is constituted by myself, Damien Comolli (Sporting Director), John Alexander (Club Secretary) and the Head Coach, now Juande Ramos. This group meets to discuss, identify and acquire players in targeted positions and to consider possible disposals. No player is brought into the Club or sold who is not approved by the coaching staff – it would be counter-productive to buy players that won’t be played. It is a system that Juande has worked with for years, which allows him to specify his needs and to concentrate on coaching the team whilst Damien and his scouting network seek options. This process clearly relies on accurate briefing and good decision making. It has a collective responsibility.

In conclusion, you, our supporters, should know that your Board has always had, and will always have, the long term interests of your Club as its sole focus.

In the past six years we have accommodated many changes, some of our own instigation and some that were thrust upon us by circumstance. I consider it the mark of the strength of an organisation as to how it deals with change, realigns and moves forward. We have made the changes, popular or unpopular as they may be, that we felt were necessary and right. New possibilities now face us, please lend us your support as we move forward together.

Yours,
Daniel
