The Media Circus Is Killing Tottenham, Time To Put An End To It

September 26, 2007

Mr. C knows who to blame for the chaos at Spurs, and for once its not Martin Jol.

If anything has been learnt from this whole Tottenham debacle apart from the fact I was right all along; it is proof of the constant love that the British Media have for our football club. In a week where Arsenal have been named the second richest club in the world and the fall out of Mourinhoâ€™s dismissal; it is Tottenham that continually dominate the back pages.

Can you blame the press for being incapable of ignoring our club? They are only human. But as a fan Iâ€™m growing tired of their constant intrusion into our club affairs which is destroying morale and is jeopardising a season that has only just started. We know Jol has his failings but the simple truth is he is the 5th best manager in the league and he would get us into that position if he still remained in the job; but the continual speculation and flat out lies being marched out by the media has created a division at the club that is clearly irreparable and is threatening any chance we had to mount a challenge on the top 4.

There is a ridiculous stand off taking place at the moment between the club and the press that you think that the Chairman would have the balls to come out on National TV and let the fans know what is happening. His failure to do so is doing nothing but fan the flames of this media bonfire of which their aim is to throw Jol on at any given opportunity. The time has now come for the club to come out and either back Jol or put him out of his misery; the longer they keep quiet, the media circus will continue to grow, at the detriment of the team.

I hate Martin Jol with a passion and know he is reached his level where he canâ€™t take us any further but the manner in which he has been treated by the club is an absolute disgrace. Jol has shown a wonderful amount of dignity and even held the baying press away with calculated and clever answers.

Itâ€™s about time our board stood up and be countedâ€¦the press are enjoying every single minute of this and we as a club have been the ones sharpening their pencils. If we are going to achieve anything this season we must act now one way or another. The press boys have been drinking far too much tea and coffee in cafes down Tottenham high road the last two weeks and its time to send them packingâ€¦Sort it out Levy; you are gambling with our season here, not to mention the long term future of some of players if we fail this year.

Pure speculation but could it be a bond of brothers type affair - Scenario - Levy bans on reporter from WHL - other reporters have none of it and create some spin - blows up out of proportion - Spurs on the rocks…

Love or hate Jol you have to feel for the guy! I would have told the board to get stuffed long ago!

I always hate the bad press we get and always finish the season disappointed with tottenham. I always feel let down and hurt but then I think to myself “Would it be Tottenham without any of this”? It is typical tottenham and will continue to be and in a way, this is what makes me passionate about the club and football in general. The unpredictable nature, the hurt, the sorrow but the joy of being involved!

I thought the Board had already clarified the position. They have not offered the job to anyone else and expect Jol to be the manager until at least next season. If they really mean it, God help us, or preferably someone who actually does respond to prayers in a practical way.

You ‘HATE HIM WITH A PASSION’ - Why? Which member of your family did he kill?? You may well think he’s reached his level, but calm down a bit mate and put things in context! I don’t even hate Wenger with a passion!

5th best manager in the league is a bit of an overstatement don’t you think, he has spent a complete fortune over the last few years or has he? does he just accept players thrown at him by commolli and levy and makes do or does he go and ask for them?
Either way we are the laughing stock of the league, spent 40 odd million and in the relegation zone, we spent the whole summer calling arsenal a one man team without the one man, has beens and what not and now look at us, A FUCKING JOKE!
Maybe we should all just shut the fuck up for a while and wait see what happens, we fuel the fires that the tabloids feed on with our doubt and the fact that we are so quick to talk ourselves up, lets just leave it till the summer till we do our yearly rants about how good we will be and how shit arsenal will be and let it all happen for now.

Cliff - you conveniently fail to mention Ars*ol, who have Danny Fiszman as the major Shareholder.

You really are a two-bob racist bigot, and should be sprayed in the face with ammonia forthwith…

Bit touchy about yours and chelsea being the most hated clubs in england are we, again writer, take your own advice and u stop being a cunt. Its quite obvious you are a little upset at being relegation fodder but that doesnt mean u have to delete my comment for speaking the truth, your club is the most hated, fair enough i may have only put one or two of the many many reasons that u are the most hated but it is a fact, u are the laughing stock of the league and we are all loving it.

Forever and ever laughing at and looking down on YOU.

spurs shot themselves on the foot stop blaming the media, all they did was report the stories.

whenever i saw a spud player on tv they were talking about champions league football and how they are a big force from managers to players to fans all blah blah.

you can do all the talking but without no action then you are doomed,

all i can say is lets all laugh at totenham ha ha ah aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

one more time lets all laugh at tottenham ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah

all racists are scum, including CFC fans. Why do spuds’ fans call themselves Y***? There’s as many fans withe Jewish ancestry at AFC, but they don’t call themselves AFC Y***. You should find another nickname for your supporters, instead of one that gives ammunition to the bigots, the ignorant, and the scum of the earth. How about Continuous Underachieving Nothing Team Supporters? Go on, try it, you can have the copyright for nothing.
