Levy: "Ramos had to go"


Levy:

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has revealed that Juande Ramos had to leave the club after only 12 months, because there were issues in the dressing room and the back room staff.

"For a club of this size to be in the position we were in until a week ago," he said, "when we weren't scoring goals and there were clearly some issues in the dressing-room, between the manager and some of the players, we could not allow this situation to go on for long.

"I think it was plain to see that some of the players weren't performing as well as you'd expect them to perform. Certain players were perhaps being more publicly vocal than you'd expect. The fact we were getting all those red cards [three in total against Stoke and Udinese] and we weren't scoring, losing games – all those things were having an impact and clearly it wasn't helping."
