LONDON: Tottenham manager Martin Jol has been given an ultimatum of six games to save his job after his side fell to a 3-1 loss at home to Arsenal at the weekend, according to press reports here yesterday.
Jol’s position has come under scrutiny as his side sit fourth from bottom with just one win from six games with speculation rife of a swoop for Sevilla’s Juande Ramos.
While Daniel Levy has apparently ruled out an immediate parting of the ways, even a revival from Spurs in the next month may not be enough to save Jol.
The Dutchman is adamant he is the man to help break into the 'big four’ and hit out at those who continue to undermine his position in the wake of the defeat by Arsenal on Saturday.
He said: “I’m not hurting inside. I will try to get the results and as long as the players show me the commitment they showed me again, there is no problem.
“People said in 2005 I was going to be out of a job but I am still here.
“So I think I will be here in six weeks. I feel there are two worlds here in London.
“There are you guys (journalists) and then there are the supporters who read your papers. It’s amazing, no?
“Although they read your papers, they’re still backing me. That’s a great feeling.
“I don’t think the board is a problem. I tell them all the time what’s wrong. We speak about players and talk about the team.” – AFP
