HATCHET MAN: You're a miserable little pleader Jol - you were good at Spurs but don't start begging

09 April 2009 18:17
Martin Jol's record at Tottenham and Hamburg tells you he is a decent manager and when he was at White Hart Lane those who met him thought he was a reasonable man too. But the way he is pleading for another Premier League job is pitiful. Jol should be above such begging and have a bit more respect for his German employers. He may have dressed his naked self-promotion as talk about what he might do when his contract expires at Hamburg, but who knows whether they will be looking for a manager in a year or two's time. The sport is simply not like that and a man with Jol's experience cannot fail to have noticed. That makes his public plea even worse and he could end up paying for it because a desperate manager is not an attractive one.
