“He’s not the sort of manager they were looking for” David Ornstein on Nuno Espírito Santo talks| video

David Ornstein is a brave man for seeking to play down the circus that the club clearly believes has plagued Daniel Levy’s hunt for a new head coach.

I take a view that the situation is yet another self-inflicted fiasco, borne out of Tottenham being the first club in world football to fire José Mourinho before he won a trophy.

A brief glimpse at the comments for this Sky Sports video gives one the flavour of public opinion, and much of the language used is unkind, to put it mildly.
