Levy: truth of Jol rumours

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has revealed that there is an element of truth behind rumours that there are concerns for boss Martin Jol's future. Jol's position as boss at White Hart Lane has been uncertain after club officials met Sevilla coach Juande Ramos during Spurs' dismal start to the campaign.

Levy said, "Obviously with any speculation sometimes there's an element of truth, but there has been a lot of stuff that's been written in the papers which has just been completely untrue.

"I think it's inevitable with the quality of players we have in this squad that when we're not performing on the pitch there's bound to be speculation,' added Levy.

"I've made it very clear that I very much want Martin to succeed, Martin is fully aware of our ambition, he also has got ambition - he just needs to get the results.

"I think we're all fairly thick-skinned if I'm honest, I just think Martin and the players need to ignore the outside pressure and just win, and that's what it's all about."
