LONDON — Tottenham made a dodgy start to last season and manager Martin Jol was shown the door.
Two unexpected defeats away to Middlesbrough and at home to Sunderland this time around has left Spurs propping up the Premier League. If they lose against Chelsea on Sunday it will be their worst start to a season for 29 years.
Juande Ramos' job is safe, but questions are being asked about Spurs' transfer policy which has seen England's Jermain Defoe, the Republic of Ireland's Robbie Keane and probably Bulgaria captain Dimitar Berbatov leave White Hart Lane.
