Jol slams Spurs' policy

Martin Jol has slammed Tottenham's transfer policy during his tenure at the club. Jol went as far as to blame Spurs' new signings this summer as the cause of the poor start to the season.

"I felt the squad would be unbalanced with these signings and it proved to be the case," the Dutchman told the Sun on Friday.

Jol revealed that he wanted two experienced players but instead Spurs hired Darren Bent, 23, and Younes Kaboul, 21.

"I think the club wanted to invest in younger players because they wanted to make money on them in the future. The decisions were not being made for footballing reasons."

Jol, who was sacked last week after the 2-1 defeat against Getafe in the UEFA Cup, hit back at Spurs sporting director Damien Comolli for lack of cooperation.

"When Frank Arnesen was director of football we spoke together about the players to bring to the club. But I did not have the same relationship with the next man (Comolli)," added Jol.

"I knew that in the summer and I realized my position was becoming very difficult."
