i dont see how we as a club can entirely drop the role that commoli has. i dont believe the papers stating that his role is so marginalised that he doesnt need replacing. the only way that can happen is if we replace ramos. ramos did his best work at seville when he had a DOF or what ever name you want to give it. if commoli goes then he needs to be replaced by someone who can organise a scouting system, hire and fire scouts, and who can liase with ramos to discuss which of the players identified by the scouts should be bought, monitored more etc
unless we have someone who is willing to sign a contract to replace commoli then there is no point getting shot of him just for the sake of it because that could potentially have a negative effect on our plans in January.

I was talking with Alan Brazil today and he told me that he'd heard from a good source (possibly paul miller, who was also there) that DC will be gone within days

ackie my friend, you were wrong
Has your friend had any recent meetings abroad with DL lately, any news on Ramos and Comolli's position's within the club. I need ITK, i'm an ITK junkie these days.

Okay, enough. Don't make me get out the knuckle-rapper. It'd be a shame to have to infract long-standing, intelligent poster over some ManYoo prat, even if you do make a good point.
Er, sorry, Bill, I was making a general point about Rowdies' glory-hunting know-nothing fans, not Excellentdud in particular. Yes, I know that's pretty Jesuitical, but how is my response any different in essence from your comment about prawn sandwiches and agreement that Excellentdud is a troll?
He's been at it again tonight.
Whether Ramos goes or not somebody else needs to go....Levy for sure won't so DC needs to carry the can. I dont know why but I just think I'd feel better if somebody stood up and said that they screwed up big time this summer. I can't get angry at Ramos because I feel there are others to blame before him, although I am not so confident that he can get us out of trouble after today.

I cant help but feel we have a D of F to deflect any blame that might be laid with Levy. It gives the shifty little worm someone to hide behind when things go tits up.

Time for a long, deep breath:
The problem is that most of the press/ex-pros complex (soething similar to the American Military/Industrial Complex so beloved of conspiracy theorists, but far more sinister and insidious) is that they have been determined that the 'foreign' DOF sysytem (which would require them changing their ingrained outlooks) would fail from the start.
The facts are: from the (proper) inception of the DOF system (I discount the PleatMeister years, as he never got over the fact that he believed he should be coach - but for his kerb-crawling antics, and was a disruptive influence), three years ago, the team has finsihed 5th twice, and won the CC, qualifying for Europe in each successive year. This compares very favourably with what went before, all the way back to 1991. The club fell seriously behind round about this time, if not before, largely as a process of failure breeds failure with the inception of the Premiership and the Champions League. The successful clubs got richer - us failures got poorer. Everything the club(s) have done since have been efforts to restore some kinda parity. After the CC victory, who was making quotes, sending messages to various places, or even stating, in the pub over a pint, that Dan Comolli was a genius - no-one. If we change nothing now, recover in the league and win the UEFA (for instance, thus qualifying for Europe AGAIN) who will be saying it - no-one. But now that there are problems...
What I find most amusing (in a :bang: sense, not in a :rofl: sense), is that all of the pundits repeatedly state that 'these are good players' and then shift the blame away from Ramos, and onto Comolli, as he is not doing his job by finding good players - WTF isn't that oxymoronic, or summit. He is also blamed for the 'Berbatov-Gate' fiasco, for not bringing in a replacement before selling the BULGER. But wait a minute, Fergie offered a derisory 20 million, and didn't up his offer, and didn't up it until transfer deadline day, clearly hoping that the BULGERs sulky antics would force the sale at that dersiory price. Clearly the board could not have known until he did this that he would do this, and they were, obviously, desperatly hoping he would stay (no matter how improbable this idea clearly is now). So, what were they supposed to do - buy a replacement (and, remember, Pav. had already been bought), and then have the BULGER at the club anyway - when the situation with Defoe came to a head as having four strikers just wasn't working. For that situation, blame Fergie and the BULGER, not Comolli and the board. Or should they have allowed themselves to be bullied by fergie and the BULGER, and sell him for the 20 million - yeah right. I'm sure all of the Comolli slaters would have ripped into him for being outmanouvred by Fergie instead. It is then said that we don't have enough strikers and that is Comolli's fault, but, wait a minute - Keaen, Berbatov, Bent = Bent, Pav., CampB*ll = 3 strikers. I thing he made the best of a very bad situation, that was largely created by Fergie and the Bulger (I don't however think it is ideal).
Then there is the Arshavin thang. Zenit name a price. Spurs match it. Zenit up the asking price. Spurs match it. Zenit say it is too late to do a deal anyway - even though deals go through later. When put in these stark terms, it seems to me that the primary culprits are Zenit for playing silly beggars.
I don't like Dan Comolli much, but I do see the sense in the DOF system, and prior to this disastrous start I believe the stats show something better than what went before. So it is strange to me, as someone who doesn't actually like the man, that the media has such a bee in their collective bonnets about him - other than, as I said, that it is a Johnny Foreigner idea, that just must fail - when the facts suggest they should be looking elsewhere for actual, verifyable, causes and consequences, rather than playing the scapegoat game, 'cos it is easier - but theere again why should it come as any surprise that the media should behave in this way:shrug:

From Rabbi Crackers on FTL via SO
someone in the trust has a nickname that they dont know about that is used by the directors and the like at Spurs.
Toenails as they are known, is so called due to that being the only part of their body visible, where they are so far up levy's arse

From the Mail,

Comolli to get sack on the same day we announce new stadium. Seems suspect to me.
