    <font size="2">Tottenham Hotspur manager Martin Jol has parted company with the club after their poor start to the season.</font></p>

    <font size="2">

    Jol tendered his resignation before taking charge for the game against Getafe - a 2-1 defeat in the Uefa Cup. Spurs, who are third from bottom in the Premier League, have won just one league game after spending heavily during the summer transfer window. Sevilla coach Juane Ramos has reportedly agreed to become Spurs' new manager at the start of next season. it was claimed Spurs met Ramos in August with a "dizzying" offer to replace the 51-year-old Jol at White Hart Lane. The Times newspaper has also reported Gus Poyet, the former Tottenham and Chelsea midfield player, has been approached to become the assistant manager.During the defeat to Getafe in a a Group G game Spurs fans gave vocal support to the Dutchman singing "Stand up for Martin Jol" during the match.Jol took charge of Spurs in November 2004, taking over from Frenchman Jacques Santini and under the Dutchman the club twice qualified for the Uefa Cup.Having recruited the likes of Darren Bent, who cost &pound;16.5m, Gareth Bale and French defender Younes Kaboul during the summer, Tottenham had high hopes of challenging for a Champions League place.But Spurs have suffered a disastrous start, recording just one victory - the 4-0 win over Derby in August - and since the reported meeting with Ramos, Jol has faced constant questioning over his future.</p>

    I feel bad for Jol though, they have a damn good team but just like Rafa, he wasn't able to use them properly.</p>
