Please try and keep on topic guys!
I was sad to see Ramos leave, but I knew he had to go.. But I do believe that Ramos did leave with a mark, he certainly made our players fitter and more physical..
I don't know, he has comented before about how Souness stunted his development as a player when he replaced Robson at the toon.

I think Ramos is a good manager and I am sure he will go on to find futher success elsewhere.
Things were simply not right for him at Spurs, he struggled with the language, could not adapt to our game, I assume he simply tried to manage us as if we were a Spanish team and it turns out these skills are not directly transferable, he needed to change his approach and learn how to convey his ideas and show his talents in the English game.
Who knows maybe it was just the wrong club at the wrong time for him, or perhaps his style of management is simply not suited to the English game and Englsih mentality.
To an extent I think we also bought into the hype, a good manager I have no doubt he is, however we were sold a tactical genius who was a magical combination of Wenger/Fergie/Jose that he was not.
His record at Sevilla was amazing, to what extent this was down to him I now am not so sure. I think those who disregard what he did there and suggest it was the DOF who was really behind the success do Ramos a diservice, he clearly did a good job there. Maybe in reality his job was aided greatly by the DOF's eye for talent.
I think ultimately there were series of events that made Ramos regin at Spurs a failure, Berbatov and Keane rocking the boat surely did nothing for moral, his inability to learn English and thus lack of man management skills to the squad left us in disharmony and lacking real motivation and leadership.
I think that Ramos had to go, I was sad to see him leave but the fact was we were rock bottom and looked like going nowhere. The start to this season was amoungst the worst football I have ever seen Spurs play (and being a 90's Spurs fan that is saying something)
I honestly don't feel things would have turned around quick enough had Ramos still been incharge and I think right now we would still have been deep in the relegation zone, so the decision to replace him though regretable (as I had high hopes for his regin as coach) was surely the only option we had.
I'm not one for looking back, like I said many times before the King is dead long live the King. Let's all just give Harry the time to do his thing and see what he is capable of, hopefully the poison chalice that is the Spurs hot seat will finally prove to be the right fit for a would be top manager (lord knows we have seen many not quite make it or straight up fail in recent years)
JJ came on leaps and bounds when Ramos first took over. It was a remarkable difference.
It's good to see a player come out and thank Ramos for what he did for them on a personal level. Too many players have been quick to put the boot in when they should be looking at themselves.
I bet Jamie O'Hara has a debt of thanks for Ramos. Wasn't he still at Millwall under Jol?
