Cast your minds back, Spurs versus Sevilla in the UEFA Cup second leg Spurs dead and buried at 2-0 down at WHL, watch the highlights of that match and you cannot help but feel a sense of pride to be part of Tottenham Hotspur football club.
Defoe and Lennon get us back in to the game it's 2-2 with 20 minutes to go, the crowd are screaming "Martin Jol's blue and white army", now look at the faces of the Spurs players all with looks of steel including the manager, they all want this win they all would have bled white that night. See the look in Keane and Berbatov's eye, they had no wish to leave Spurs that day.
We were knocked out of the UEFA cup that night, but we were a club on the up we had a manager that had a love for Spurs and their fans, we had a team that were fighting for every ball.
The camera will occasionally pan across to the Spanish manager in the opposite dugout, an up and comer in the managerial world, he would later manage the prestigious Real Madrid after a failed venture in England.
The dream looks to have ended, we are now throwing money at players such as Craig Bellamy as we look to sell our souls for any sort of success. If I was an Arsenal secret agent i could not have done a better job at taking apart the Spurs team, first i would get rid of the loyal talented young manager who has Spurs in his heart, get in a couple of mercenaries (Ramos and Commoli) get them to sell our loyal hard working players like Malbranque and Tainio (a spurs fan!!) and then sack them both halfway through a season.
Then in what stinks of desperation we get a manager who has been investigated for fraud and has a shady past at best. He is now given a warchest to bring in a substitute and a Honduran midfielder for almost the same cost as our first 11 (bar Berbatov) that won the Carling cup.
I shudder at how quickly we ALL have destroyed Tottenham Hotspur FC, it sounds like a sad film.
We have gone from a manager that would not moan and would show an air of class every time he spoke as he knew that Spurs were a team with morals. A club who would not discuss it's transfer deals until they were completed, a manager who would not criticise our under confidence striker in public.
However rather than sit here and moan any more and rather than try to re-sign the Spurs players who were so foolishly sold I suggest another route. This is where you come in Mr Levy, make up for your devastating mistakes and you can! Wait until the end of the season and thank Mr Redknapp for his efforts, take a trip to Germany and offer Hamburg a sum of money, lets say 10 million and ask to speak to their manager.
We give Martin Jol FULL CHARGE of the running of the football club and ask him to appoint his own staff and a DOF. The next step is simple, back him to the hill until he decides it is enough.
Because in the end what is better blind success or a belief that we are all in it together, a club that plays attractive football, a club that sticks together, ignore the media and create the club we had and not the laughing stock of the Premiership, which is what we have today. We can change things.
