Tottenham are set to fire sporting director Damien Comolli, who has angered manager Juande Ramos with his transfer dealings. (The Sun)
Well, if you think back to the Ramos appointment Levy did say that Comolli wanted him at the club as he is the perfect 'coach' to work in a DoF structure thus allowing Levy a bullet-proof patsy if things don't go well. Sacking him would help appease all the disgruntlment, although people are stupid. Fact is, if Comolli is a failure who has been allowed to spend so much money, should the person who appointed him not be made accountable?
Probablity Factor: 8/10
But Ramos has been given a personal assurance by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy that he will be given time to turn the club around. (Daily Mirror)
Ramos was told not to worry about his future by Levy immediately after Spurs' defeat by Hull City on Sunday. (Daily Star)
Dear God, not the dreaded 'vote of confidence'? Wondering how much of this is just speculation. Nobody knows, unless Levy is directly quoted as confirming he said this. Can't imagine the chairman rushing down to the dressing rooms to tell the coach not to fret.
Probability Factor: 3/10
There is boardroom unrest at Tottenham about the role Levy has played in the club's worst start to the season since 1912 after he gave the green light to Dimitar Berbatov's £30m deadline-day move to Manchester United. (Daily Mail)
This is just shit journalism.
Tottenham's first-team coach Gus Poyet is the man most likely to replace Ramos if the Spaniard does leave White Hart Lane. (Daily Mirror)
Really? Anything to do with him being the current number 2 at Spurs? Honestly, the deduction skills of the Daily Mirror astonish me. I was half expecting Spurs to invite Mitchell Thomas to take over as care-taker. Gutted.
Probabilty Factor: 11/10
Spurs' £15m winger David Bentley is furious with Ramos because he feels his manager's rotation policy is the reason he has been left out of Fabio Capello's latest England squad. (Daily Express)
More lazy journalism. Bentley should be furious with himself and his own form, being the reason he is not in the England squad. Yeah, I know, Ramos has played him out of position - not ideal, but regardless he hasn't shown anything to warrant a first team place in his natural right-wing position.

Levy ironically believes success on the pitch equals success off it but his spending this summer and possibly in parts over last year and the year before have been indicative of his philosophy.
Especially this past summer. So many soundbites and complaints and then still rolls over for Utd and Liverpool.
Bentley has not impressed me atall. Very poor especially at set pieces. Wrong type of player. Same goes for Gio. Talented but too lightweight. Too many luxaru players as per usual for the Spurs.
I think every player Ramos wanted didn't happen based on Levy not wanting to pay up over what he considers the odds. Thats why people question the Bent and Bentley signings. There is no consistency with Levys transfer/business policy. Its a big messy smelly ball of contradictions.
Comolli has OFFICIALLY supported Ramos.
The End is Nigh!
