SpurOfGlory said:Is that it,he motivated the side to it's worst prem start but also a 4-4 draw aganst Villa is motivation,I think the cup win after coming from behind means a bit more,if five bore draws is not acceptable what about 7 points from the first ten games?
We were ONE GOAL DOWN. It's not a huge margin. And there are plenty of other landmarks. How about the first win over Chelsea at the Lane in God-knows how many years? How about being the first team to put three goals past Mourinho's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. How about back-to-back UEFA Cup entry through the League? You want to talk about his fitness regime? How about competing on four fronts, playing close to 60 games in a season and in the process, gaining fifth place in the League, two quarter-finals and a semi-final?
SpurOfGlory said:Oh is this Jol who joined under Arnesen and totally undermined the manager Santini and forced him out,he even admitted he gave the club 6 months max as assistant and if he didn't the managers job he would walk then his mate walks to Chelski and he moans about being messed around and humiliated-I really feel sorry for someone who won nothing in three years earned millions but couldn't motivate a side to go to Sunderland and get a point opening day
Are you out of your mind? Or have you just rehashed and distorted a whole-load of anti-Jol rubbish just to prove a point you don't have? Santini walked. He left of his own accord. He was not pushed by anyone. If you want to talk about intrigue, let's discuss things a little more recent, namely the royal screwjob the club gve him earlier this season.
SpurOfGlory said:Pre season was just a money grabbing exercise and caused fitness problems,your clutching so many straws your hands must hurt,he thought peaking mid season was a good idea hence the slow starts and we know his idea of diets was let the players eat what they want,the defence was a shambles he couldn't coach better and he was responsible for the bad start and all the other problems like all other club members and players and after three years he had to go or is he never at fault?
No, you see that's where you're having difficulty in comprehension. You in your rabid, anti-Jol stance want to lay all the blame at his feet and deny him any credit. Whereas we normal people see shades of grey between the pillar and post you erect. We don't deny that perhaps Ramos is a better choice of manager, but we don't instantly turn on the man who got us into a position where we become serious contenders. Get it?
Your argument of lack of fitness doesn't hold water. If his fitness regime was so poor, how did the squad get through a 60-game season? And if your entire stance is based on one single game against a supposedly lesser side, I would remind you that Brimingham thrashed us 4-1 at St Andrews and 3-2 01at the Lane, both games under Ramos. Perhaps Ramos deserves to be fired if we follow your semblence of logic (and I use the term very loosely)
And if preseason is responsible for the player's fitness, then blame for that should be placed squarely on the shoulders of our 'illustrious' DOF, Damien Comolli who organised the tour of South Africa.
SpurOfGlory said:No he didn't he went into talks then the board issued him a new long term deal to stop him walking,your speaking bollocks it's fact and he also was approached by another club which he spoke to but declined to join.
Proof?
SpurOfGlory said:Thanks for the history lesson but Jol didn't get us back respect on his own others can take some credit,even George Graham won a cup in 6 months,Hoddle got us to a final and Ramos won a cup in 4 months,in the league he may have had our two best placings for awhile but that doesn't make it a significant change all down to Jol,our glory never has or will come down to managers making top five then going backwards without winning anything.
How did we go backwards? The season hadn't finished yet. You can't state that a club has regressed until the results are all in. And again, we back to your monochromic vision. It's not all black and white, do you see? Ramos may well have brought us silverware, but that doesn't detract or debase what Jol did for the club. Do you understand that position, or is it only simple black and white with you?
no you see, that's what you DON'T get. This isn't a pro-Jol site, this is a pro-SPURS site. Get the distinction?SpurOfGlory said:I get this is pro Jol site
It seems you need to improve your eyesight. What C0YS said wasSpurOfGlory said:but all this comes from fans saying they would accept a thrashing by Jol's Hamburg aganst their club
He said he would be disappointed, but not too disappointed. That isn't acceptance.C0YS said:If hamburg play us I bet they will stuff us.....just cause thats always what happens, and if it does happen I cant say I will be to dissapointed.............I still will be a bit dissapointed at least
Oh dear. A handful of posts in and already your an expert. You have no idea what happens or is said on this site. We have plenty of Jol-bashers here, but most of them have the sense to acknowledge that he did a job for us and pretty good one too considering the circumstances. And those of us who have a soft spot for him, acknowledge that he had weaknesses as well. My advice to you would be to actually sit and READ some of the threads on the site before jumping in with both feet and attacking the viewpoints of those who've contributed a hundred times more than you have to this site.SpurOfGlory said:if he can do no wrong and nothing can be said it shows what a narrow minded poster you and other pro Jol fans can be,if you don't like people pointing out his faults then tough you can sing his praises all day,we all respect what he did but his mistakes can be pointed out without that being labelled as some massive anti Jol agenda.
You joined the site. We didn't ask you to join, did we? If you don't like it, no-one's compelling you to stay. Yet you remain and continue to spout what I (and maybe some others) believe to be drivel.SpurOfGlory said:When spurs fans would happily get thrashed by a Jol side that says it all,no point debating merits and ignoring his faults it just make this board a pointless unobjective site or do the rules somewhere state no criticism of Jol?
Oh please, put your toys away!SpurOfGlory said:All the talk of history is funny and I love the heroic speeches but when did spurs fans start supporting Jol before the good of the club,love the man and respect what he done but happily taking a beating because they love a former manager is a joke.
