Andrew MacdougallAre Tottenham players now inoccent?
So all is well again at White Hart Lane. Tottenham are still bottom of the league but with Harry Redknapp installed as manager few envisage them remaining there much longer. The terminally bad smell around the club has disappeared instantly. Or has it?
Though Ramos and his crew have gone, the players - seemingly absolved of all blame - still remain after failing to win a game in their opening eight matches. And no doubt most of them will continue on under Redknapp and the new regime because they are ‘highly talented’. Tottenham’s failure, however, has been their failure and can they be trusted to take them up to the high altitude and pressure of challenging the top six.
So much for generating a culture of personal responsibility among the players, absolving them of accountability now could return to haunt Tottenham in the future.
