Ramos Out, Keegan In

I thought I'd get in early with the recriminations, before Spurs' inevitable dire display and humiliating defeat in tonight's UEFA Cup match (which I can't watch, even if I wanted to, as it is the only of tonight's UEFA Cup matches involving Premiership clubs on pay-per-view rather than a terrestial broadcaster). This is the worst start to a season since, well, last season. That start cost the then manager his job. His replacement, Senor Ramos, was supposed to be the great saviour of Spurs, (according to the board, anyway). He certainly wasn't meant to put us back where we were last year. The sad thing is, that until last season's bad start, Martin Jol had done a blinding job for the club, with back-to-back fifth place finishes. We're going to be lucky to finish fifth from bottom at this rate. But there you are, we have a decent manager for the first time in years, so we sack him. Typical bloody Spurs.

OK, I know that Ramos can claim that losing our two top goal scorers during the Summer didn't help, along with the failure to either replace them both or secure the services of a defensive midfielder. But the reality is that there are a lot of teams above us in the Premiership with far less talented squads than ours, who are doing a bloody sight better. Even if we don't have prolific forwards any more, we still shouldn't be conceding so many goals. No, Ive lost faith in him already (actually, to be fair, I doubted he was the right man in the first place). We need to get someone else in before it's too late (after all, that's what everyone was saying this time last year). Bring in Kevin Keegan, I say. Why not? We've exhausted every other managerial possibility and King Kev is at least used to being feted as the Messiah then achieving nothing. Plus, he always has the good sense to jump ship before it actually sinks. Which is what I feel like doing these days...
