Martin Jol was sacked early into the 07–08 season, with Juande Ramos ex-Seville coach replacing the Dutchman. Spurs went on to win the Carling Cup, beating Chelsea 2-1 in the final in February 2008. Nevertheless, Ramos in turn was sacked on 25 October 2008 following a 2–0 loss to Udinese in the UEFA Cup and with Spurs bottom of the Premier League following the worst start to a season in the club's history. In the early hours of the 26 October 2008 Portsmouth Manager Harry Redknapp first confirmed that he had agreed to become the new manager of Tottenham.

Redknapp Exclusive

On 25th October 2008 Harry Redknapp was apointed Manager of strugglers Tottenham Hotspurs, Levy, Spurs' Chairman who had sacked Juande Ramos even after he was the main man who got there first trophy in a long time. Redknapp was as shocked as much as every one else on him appointment. This is what he said, "Well i am very, very excited being at the helm of an amazing bright futured club."

Portsmouth have decided to keep Tony Adams as Harrys succesor, however they will be hard footsteps to follow.

We also caught up with Harry;

Reporter: Hello Harry how do you feel about being new manager of Tottenham.

Harry: Well it hasnt really sunk in yet being at such a massive club.

Reporter: Do you have any targets given from you or the board?

Harry: Well like i said this club has a excellent future and i dont know why we are not inside the top four.

Reporter: Harry one last thing what about transfers?

Harry: I have total control and am going to bring in a midfielder and striker!

Reporter: Can you tell us?

Harry: Good bye .

[Caldera31]

Good work, you need to fix up a few mistakes in your Squad listings though!

Harry in dreamland

From the Kick Tottenham just start to knock the ball about and a fantastic beckham like cross from Bentley results in Pavlyuchanko’s header being tapped past the post from the goalie. Bentley played in a wonderful ball for pavlyuchenko but 1 on 1 the pressure was to immense corner ball. Bentley beats his man as he then slides his own team mate the he rounded the goalie what a superb solo effort on 43 mins. Yet again a superb ball behind the defence from Bentley only for pavlyuchenko to waste another chance corner ball.
1-0 spurs at half time
64th minute and pavlyuchenko disposed the CB yet for him to shoot wide. Yep it looks like Darren Bent is now coming on for Roman. Andy Johnson Fulhams Record breaking signing breaks through the dodgy defence to strike the equaliser. WHAT A GOAL!!! Bentley with a trade mark free kick whipped it in and modric forced a save from the keeper but no one was there to stop the substitute Bent from scoring a diving header. 2-1. Fulham just smashing the footbal up the pitch for the last 3 minutes.Bent 1 on 1 doesn’t get a 2nd goal. It’s all over what a start for Harry redknapp and Tottenham Hotspurs.

Riccardo Montolivo

Montolivo agrees 3 year deal at tottenham he is an exciting CM Redknapp told us.

[IRE-ENG-OX4]

Can Harry win 2 in a row?

VS


Tottenham Hotspurs last week got off the a great start after beating fulham 2-1 everything about them look like a top 4 side except from their finishing. However west Brom having beaten ARSENAL AT THE EMIRITES will be hungry to prove that they belong in the big league.

Two in a row it is

First chance of the game fell towards Roman Pavlyuchenko and yes he missed corner to spurs with-in the first 3 mins. Both midfields are as strong as each other with Bentley trying a strike at goal which skims the post. Pavlyuchenko created space for himself but to hit it wide from near the penalty area. Perfectly played cross from Dos Santos yet Pavlyuchenko cannot finish. With a Great solo Run Roma Pavlyuchenko Finishes a 1 on 1 finally.
1-0 spurs Half Time
Start of the second half not a lot happening.89th minute and wood gate is sent off for bringing down Zlton Gera and gera steps up to the penalty spot but Gomes saves it.
Full time 1-0 spurs
