Until Comolli pulls out a Santa Cruz a Benni McCarthy a Bullard a Zaki a Vieria a Fabragas a Reina a surely the jury is still out on him, no?

Basically until he signs some unknown player for next to nothing who turns out to be an absolute sensation for us then he will, quite rightly, be judged.

Although I don't believe he should be sacked, I think we need to look at our transfer policy and define the roles of each of the committee then we have a process and a structure.

And BBLG, we paid £15.5m for Bent with £1m on potential success, check our statement to the stock exchange, it's clear and correct. And we didn't make any profit on Kaboul, we got our money back.

Whether a player represents good value for money can only be based on his current form. On current form the 13 players (an unbelievable inflow of players in such a short period) on the whole do not look good value at all and therefore Comolli and Levy get the blame for bad signings.

However they can't be responsible for a players form so its not really always their fault - surely its up to the players themselves and the coaching staff to help get the best out of players.

I think that the number of players and the turnover of players is an important fact that the list reveals,whatever their value or the return on the prices paid.
I know some changes are inevitable when you replace the manager which is one reason I dont want to change managers again. But 30 in and 29 out in three years is destabilising for the team
We are playing like strangers because to a large extent thats what we are, compounded of course by injuries.

Will 2007 be viewed in the future (or now) as a time when Spurs made very poor decisions?

Circa £50 million spent but only one player (Gareth Bale) making a significant contribution.

One would have expected that £50 million in the hands of a top class scout would have contributed towards achieving top 4 given that we were already an established at top 5.

Jol obviously didn't rate many of these purchases as good enough for his team.

Ramos obviously doesn't rate many of the players from the top 5 teams or those bought during that crucial time.

Looks like the buck stopped with Comolli. And it wasn't spent wisely.

Perhaps Chelsea knew what they were doing when they stole Arnesan from Spurs.

Perhaps Arsenal knew what they were doing when they let Comolli go back to France.

Perhaps Spurs (the board) hadn't a clue what they were doing when they brought Comolli to Spurs in over Jol.

I think, my fellow spurs fans, we have to be realistic and face up to the fact that we are in real danger of being relegated.

I dont know whose fault this will be and I am not interested in pointing fingers...all I'm lamenting is the fact that we are SHIT at the moment...why???

Is it because the manager cannot communicate with the players?? Then that is the job of the assistant manager....most of the players seem to have lost confidence in themselves and each other..it is the managers job to get things right and get it right fast.

We seem to lack firepower in the front...but we have a yougster who has been blooded on the home and international stage and what do we do?...loan him out. I am speaking of Perkhart...bring him back and throw him in the deep end...he may take some time to adjust but the boy has got the ability and the talent WHY ARE WE NOT USING THE TALENT WE HAVE????

We bought Bentlet for a huge sum and then shove him on the left when he is a right sided player...WHY for God's sake?? Because we have Aaron Lennon on the right...so what?
