Phil McNulty has a tough but fair column on the BBC blog today about Spurs.

It is well worth a read in its entirety but the central aspect of it can be summed up as the Spurs leadership is getting what it deserved at the moment. These are worrying times at the Lane and every Spurs fans should be very worried at what the future will bring.

Here is a key clip from Phil:

He told us, in faltering but improving English, that "all the people" were responsible for Spurs' almost unthinkable position at the foot of the table.

And yet he will know that if Spurs continue to lose, responsibility will ultimately be his - with director of football Damien Comolli possibly thrown in for good measure.

Ramos also struggles with the legacy of Martin Jol, with a straw poll among Spurs fans making it clear great affection remains for the Dutchman so ruthlessly and hastily dispatched by Levy last season.

They do not see Ramos as an upgrade on Jol and results bear out their opinion, with the latter flourishing at the Bundesliga summit with Hamburg.
