Having just taken Spurs to the Semi-Final of the FA Cup was it fair that he was dismissed ?.

It seems he was sacked for stating that he would only be given a 'limited budget' for the remainder of this season and for next season. The Spurs board have not denied that this is true - so what are the grounds for sacking him ?. There has been many times in the past when a manager has stated in public that he does not have money to spend in the transfer market. OK - the board may not like the truth being told - but I have not known a manager be sacked for stating a fact.

I am also sick of hearing about the so called 'Tottenham style of play'. The truth is that you have to go back a long way (20 years) to find a decent Spurs side that actually won anything (with Ardiles and Villa). They were not attractive to watch under Venables and only won the FA Cup during his reign - largely due to Paul Gascoigne.

Rather than worry about the 'style of play' Tottenham supporters should be more concerned by the fact that their club has not been champions of England for over 40 years !!!!!!.

It was about time George Graham was sacked. He wasn't really taking the club anywhere and Spurs needed a new manager. Glenn Hoddle is a lot better and speaking as a Spurs fan, he will do a lot better than Graham. Also, who cares if Spurs haven't won the championship for about 40 years. Stop living in the past. Just wait a few years and we will be up there with the top teams.

What do you expect? His first 5 games in charge have been against the following teams:

Arsenal (lost 2-1)
Bradford (won 2-1)
Sunderland (won 3-2)
Chelsea (lost 3-0)
Liverpool (lost 3-1)

Apart from Bradford City, Tottenham have played quality teams.

George Graham will be the next Scotland manager once we get shot of the wee fat potato.
