I wonder how much of the £100 million they got for Bale is left for whoever picks up the job at Spurs.

I suspect Defoe will go in the window unless new manager gives him more starts as well.

Never understand teams that have Director of Football in there management structure , it never seems to work , it just seems to undermine the Manager or is it Coach these days.

No, I know what you mean, basically the dof picks and buys the players and then the coach as they are called coaches/manages them. It's very much how a lot of foreign clubs are run isn't it, when it all goes wrong the manager gets it in the neck but not necessarily the dof. Of course LFC nearly had a similar thing with Damien Comolli, however on that occasion be he and the manager (Dalglish) were both correctly blamed with Comolli being the first to go, followed swiftly by Dalglish. Then Rodgers came in and correctly had the say on signings.
