Tottenham Sack Ramos,Gus and Comolli

Well its about time!

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked coach Juande Ramos and sporting director Damien Comolli and are set to appoint Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp.
Spurs have agreed a compensation package of £5m with Portsmouth, according to the 61-year-old Redknapp.
The North London club also parted company with first team coaches Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez following their worst ever start to a season.
"It's a great opportunity. Spurs are a big club," Redknapp told Sky Sports.
"I love Portsmouth and I loved my time there, we had some fantastic success and I'd never been happier.
"But it's a great deal for Portsmouth, £5m for me, and it's a chance for me to get on and see what I can do.
"Once Tottenham came in and once the offer was made it was difficult for the club to turn down a £5m offer for a manager.
"The club were pleased to take it and hopefully people will remember what I've done there."
Redknapp revealed Spurs contacted Portsmouth on Friday morning, and after discussions between Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, it was agreed he could talk to the London club.
Redknapp expects the official announcement to come from White Hart Lane in the morning.
"It will all be sorted out and by tomorrow morning I should be in place," he said.
Clive Allen, development squad coach, and Alex Inglethorpe, youth team manager will take charge of Sunday's game against Bolton, while Redknapp expects to be at White Hart Lane to address the players before the match.
Spurs are four points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League after taking just two points from their opening eight matches this season.
Ramos' last game in charge was Thursday's 2-0 defeat to Udinese in the Uefa Cup.
The 54-year-old Spaniard joined Spurs from Sevilla on 27 October 2007 after Martin Jol was sacked.
Ramos had back-to-back Uefa Cup triumphs with Sevilla and guided Tottenham to the League Cup in Feburary - the club's first trophy since 1999.
