What do I really think about this?
The reason Tottenham is doing so bad lately is because of the pressure everyone is putting on Jol to succeed. And Robinson's Butter fingers.
Seriously, Jol is a good manager, no doubt brought Tottenham to great heights, and will continue to do so if given a fair chance.
Look at Tottenham games, the reason why they are not winning is simply due to the fact they concede too many goals, 21 to 10 matches to be exact. The only teams conceding more goals are Reading and Derby. Spurs scored a total of 17 League goals so far, second to only Portsmouth and Arsenal. So tell me, why are they in the bottom 3?
So Jol is sacked, in a very screwed up moment for the club. It would take something close to a miracle to revive them now.
And Megson takes over Bolton. Megson for all I know is a relegation specialist. Funny, Bolton's aim this season is to avoid relegation.

Tottenham Hotspurs Season Preview
Tottenham Hotspurs. Not too long ago, I see this side as a really dull and boring side, where they are simply too good to be in a relegation battle and too weak to fight for an European spot. So many changes since then.
I would like to compare them with Leeds in the early 2000s, not their spending habits though, at least not really. Even though there is a rise in the quality of the team and the football itself, Tottenham never won a trophy or qualified for a Champions League spot. They did secure the tag, 'the best of the rest.' Is Martin Jol's job safe?
Major signings includes Darren Bent (almost the same price as Henry), Gareth Bale, Younes Kaboul, and Kevin-prince Boateng. One to watch would be Gareth Bale. Pleas play him very often, the world wants to see what the hype is al about. We don't want another Theo Walcott.
Overall the squad is very very decent. I believe they have the potential of pushing for 4th place again, but there is all to it. What the fans need is a cup win this season. If not its going to be another so close yet so far season.
