Apprentice star Sugar attacks Spurs fans demo as an 'unintelligent mob' and is glad Levy didn't tell Ramos: 'You're fired'

Former Tottenham chairman Sir Alan Sugar is delighted Daniel Levy did not call in manager Juande Ramos and say: 'You're fired.'

Sugar gave his backing to Ramos and called the Spurs fans planning a demonstration at Sunday's game against Bolton an 'unintelligent minority mob'.

The star of BBC One's The Apprentice said: 'It's a terrible situation the club's in but we have to be patient. They have a great team of players, so it's not as if we don't have the players or the financial commitment in the squad.

'I say every game 'it must come right' but it would be totally irresponsible to be talking in terms of blaming any individual at the moment including the manager. He's no mug, look what he's achieved in the past.

'I have always believed 99.9 per cent of Tottenham supporters are sensible. They don't like what's happening at the moment.

'The 0.1 per cent. .. 35 or maybe 50 people, a small minority, who are unintelligent, have been wound up. But if you see a mob of 50 standing and shouting up it can be intimidating.'

Sugar remains optimistic Spurs will escape relegation but warned: 'No one's too big to go down. The table doesn't lie. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea lose games occasionally but we are losing too many. Looking at the playing squad there is no way we should go down but you can never say never.'

Well, Sugar expertly got us into the top four didn't he so his advice means the world to me.

your sarcasm is very childish. the years under sugar were poor, especially the final two years under francis onwards, but without sugar, THFC would no longer exist. Without sugar we would not have seen klinsmann, ginola or sheringham. and without sugar the stadium would be in absolute tatters.

have some respect. he may not have been the best chairman but he was certainly not the worst.

[kicked]

So, because of that, what he has said is wrong?? He did stop us from going bust and built the platform to which we can waste 30 million or so on players these days!

I guess you are part of the 0.1 % then?

[Michey]

:clap:

The word "unintelligent" did it for me!

[PT]

The Spurs Supporters Trust is the Voice through which dialogue is undertaken - just so long as THFC gives the Trust the platform upon which to voice our collective concerns.

[TheChosenOne]

AMS had to be dragged into the club and earned a nice few quid along the way, including jobs for the family and a big payday when selling most of his shares recently.

Fair enough his dough (or the guarantees anyway) stopped the club going belly up but even my old Mum would have known the wasn't called "Tottenham Hotspurs"

[Sanj]

Yes - maybe he wasn't a footy supporter when he came into this 'business', but one cannot now doubt his support for the club.
He was well and truly sucked in by the footy fever, and he does seem to genuinely care about teh club now.

[jolsnogross]

A board member saying people shouldn't criticize or protest the board - really interesting insight to be had here, huh?

I remember seeing one of those 'Premiership Years' things where semi-celebrities sit in their living rooms and try to be glib and pithy about the footy season back when someone's away strip was brutal and go through their memories of their club that season. And there was Sugar talking about Christian Gross, and not just talking, slagging and taking the piss. And I thought to myself, but it was you who hired him ffs! What gives you the right to have a go? And Gross had a decent cv before he came and after he left, so what the hell does it say about you and the running of Spurs that you're now sitting here laughing and ridiculing someone you hired to run the footballing side of your football club!!??

We have the same problem now. A small man with a big ego who's to be commended for his business acumen and sound financial stewardship of our club, but hasn't a clue about how to create and build a proper footballing philosophy and strategy along with that.

Most of the powerful and successful businessmen in this world are small men with big egos – so what else is new?!

There are so many sound bytes flying around at the moment from just about everybody linked to the club. Everyone is frustrated and confused, but what the f*ck can they or we do about it?!

All we should do as fans, is get behind the club and pray that we start winning soon! Its humiliating now, but we have the players to turn it around. So lets just keep positive and see how it goes.

[punky]

Coming from the guy who called owning Tottenham a waste of his life? Hmmmm.

Not that I am defending the demonstrators, because i'm not. Just curious as to where this new-found interest in the club has sprung from.

[spud]

Whether or not we like Alan Sugar and regardless of what we think of his reign as Chairman, any right-thinking person must surely agree with this point of view.

The thing our club needs now is unity - especially among the fans. The team needs our support, not some half-arsed holding up of placards encouraged - if not instigated - by media whose only motivation is a story.

The last thing that it needs is some sort of 'demonstration' by self-serving whingers who have no idea of the internal workings of the club. They seek somebody to blame, convinced that theirs is the only pure motivation and that 'greedy' Levy and 'useless' Commolli are purposely running the club into oblivion.

Anybody who joins in with this is pathetic. They should spend sunday afternoon at home with their mummies sucking on their dummies.

[Roberts84]

Only the papers have said the word 'demostration' as on this site and the others I have been on everyone is against it.

[SteffenFreund]

I'm furious about this demonstration. I can't see the reason for it. Levy has made Spurs one of the most profitable football clubs in the world. He's also given the director of football a lot of cash to buy players. The striker problem was a bit of a cock up but we don't know the circumstances that led to that so we can't blame anyone.

"back Levy" demonstration on Sunday anyone?

Word for word agree with you, but some fans reasoning frustrates me.

[gaganelov]

Demonstartions may not help forsing Levy to resign, but why not pressing him to apologize at least. He brought this mess - and should say publicly "sorry".

[ken the yid]

I think that those fans who boo the team are worse than those who will demonstrate against Levi.....

[Sovereignspur]

If we demonstrate what will it change :shrug: If Daniel Levy wants to quit the club he will, but not by us shouting and screaming the odds. Lets get behind the team. I am as pissed off as everyone else that we are the hub of everyones jokes at the moment and yes unless we start winning soon i ill start really worrying. He has backed the DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL with the clubs cash maybe we should demonstrate against Damien Comolli :hump:!!!! Maybe we might get rid of him and make some much needed signings in january.

HE IS OUR PROBLEM HE WAS WITH JOL AND NOW IS WITH RAMOS

[southlondonyiddo]

What a load of old tosh from Sugar

People need to open their eyes, we need a minor miracle to stay up even now and AS wants everyone to be patient.

What has Sugar ever known about football and carlos kick a balls like Bergkamp!!!

Who's fault is all this. Oh no cant be anything to do with the Chairman and the way he conducts himself in relation to selling our best players and stabbing our best manager for 20 odd years in the back etc etc etc

Ramos has had 28 league games and won 5 so far. We have 30 left and we need at least 11+ to stay up! (Oh and we've had our easy run of games)

The Chairman needs to stand up and accept his role in this farce, the nasty little toad, who like a politician when he opens his mouth I tend to stop believing him

[2bearis2do]

Great to see both Berbatov and Keano scoring in the CL.
Just shows, if we had got last season right aand got there, we could have gone anywhere, now we´re going nowhere.
