Kicking out Harry another massive gamble

Daniel Levy has been responsible for many things in 10 years as Tottenham’s chairman, but he probably never expected to have inverted Karl Marx’s famous phrase about history repeating itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

History is certainly being repeated at White Hart Lane, as another hugely popular and relatively successful manager is kicked out.

Having sacked Martin Jol at half-time during a UEFA Cup game because he could do no better than achieve two successive fifth-placed finishes, Levy has now sacked Redknapp despite getting two top-four finishes and taking Tottenham into the Champions League for the first time.
