Hughes next!
TOTTENHAM have sounded out Mark Hughes about replacing Juande Ramos as boss.
Spurs officials contacted Sparky’s advisors yesterday to offer him the job hours before Manchester City’s UEFA Cup tie with Omonia Nicosia.
They slapped a £20million, five-year deal on the table and would love the Eastlands chief to take over during next week’s international break.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy decided to act after concluding Spaniard Ramos is now a lame-duck manager.
Only slack finishing from Polish minnows Wisla Krakow and an own goal kept struggling Spurs in the UEFA Cup yesterday.
Levy is a long-term admirer of Hughes, 44, and came close to offering him the White Hart Lane job last year after axing Martin Jol.
Hughes earns around £2.5m a year at City after moving from Blackburn during the summer.
But he has unlimited funds to splash in the transfer market following the club’s takeover by Abu Dhabi businessmen.
The way City outbid Chelsea to land Brazilian hitman Robinho for £32.5m from Real Madrid proved their amazing new transfer muscle.
New City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan will be determined to hang on to Hughes — even though they have demanded he wins them the Champions League by 2011.
Sheikh Mansour has said: “We want to make it clear that Mark Hughes is absolutely integral to our plans.
"We are lucky to have someone who we believe is the best young British manager — someone who has been successful on the global stage, the Premier League and of course as a player.”
Since winning the Carling Cup last season Spurs have been on a dismal downward spiral — and Levy is desperate to put things right.
The club have a worse league record than Derby had at the equivalent stage last season.
Pundits have also questioned Ramos’ buys, with most agreeing he has wasted the majority of the £81m he has spent.
Spurs remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table with just two points from six matches.
And fans chanted ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ at Ramos when he took off striker Roman Pavlyuchenko in the 2-0 defeat to Portsmouth at Fratton Park last Sunday.
Former Seville coach Ramos, 54, signed a four-year contract at Spurs last October.
His side play Hull at White Hart Lane on Sunday in what could be his last game in charge
yea okay says the sun... my interest ends right thereOriginally Posted by yiddytheyid
If this is true then levy is a ****ing idiot. Going behind Jol's back was a major mistake last year and apparently he hasn't learned a thing.
And hughes won't leave City... Why would he? I'm sure if he wanted it the arabs would offer him more money.
The Sun have a serious anti Tottenham agenda, and should be ignored.
As for Venables? his record in the league for Spurs was pretty average after his first season. The man is also a crook and was partly responsible for the fiasco that almost saw us docked 16 points back in the early-mid 90s which would have seen us relegated had Suger not appealed and crossed the FA's palms with silver!
On top of that, Venables would be way out of his depth in the modern game. So all in all, he can fvck off!
My first choice manager would be Glenn Hoddle, but in another thread someone suggested Fatih Terim, and while it would be funny to have a muslim in charge of the Yid Army (might do the middle east peace process some good!) he is a top drawer coach and may do well!
Good Morning, if there is even a grain of truth in
this then Ramos is gone. It will turn in to the
situation we had with Martin, where the players
know he's going to be replaced. Job becomes untenable.
Saw a Spanish based journalist on Sky, saying Ramos
knows he is on borrowed time, a similar start in La liga
would already have cost him his job...
Its just ****ing stupid. The sun are c**ts. Aren't we having enough trouble without these bull**** stories causing more ripples in the already wavey spurs pond.
Also if this is true i have totally lost faith in Levy. Has he not learned anything from this problems we was put through last year? Sell the club and **** off out of north london.
From the club website:
Club statement
The Club largely refrains from making statements of this nature unless absolutely necessary in order to set the record straight in light of wholly inaccurate reporting.
An article on the back page of this morning's Sun newspaper reports that the Club has made an offer to Mark Hughes to take over as manager during the forthcoming international break.
This story is completely untrue and without foundation and the matter is being discussed with the publication.
Give a man a fire, he'll be warm for a night, set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

They should hang the guy who wrote that article.
Are the Sun are bunch of f**king gooners ?? they seem intent on stirring things up here !!
Levy should sue !!!
The Sun; what a laughable rag. Yes they have got an anti-spurs agenda, they are constantly trying to fabricate and stir **** within Tottenham. At least make something up at least 10% believable you morons. They literally get paid to sit there and invent rumours.
WOW this is shocking. but the sun does lie
All the sun newspaper is good for is wipeing your ass with ..oh & page 3 .
na don't believe any of this hughes story, , spurs have officially denied it, and why the hell would he leave man city, got a great chance with them especially after they've got this billionaire guy in. Jus the usual rubbish from The Sun
The tabloid press try to make things happen, they stir the s**t not just for Spurs but anywhere they see a story! Newcastle are going through similar stuff at the moment. The best thing for Spurs and Ramos is to get a few points on the board and they will move onto the next poor victim. By changing the manager we would be playing right into their hands, all the stories of how many managers we've had during Wengers reign, everyone laughing and having a dig at us like normal!! We really need stability right now, Ramos has to have more time. If United had sacked Fergie back in the day when he had a bad start, they would not be where they are today!
If we had to change Ramos i`d go for Moyes i think he`d do a decent job for someone Everton can`t offer the funds for him in the transfer market so if we left him to it he`d be ok :dontknow:
