Is getting sacked as manager of Tottenham Hotspur necessarily a bad thing for the career of a coach? Being martyred by Daniel Levy certainly has its benefits at a club where successive incumbents, and indeed players themselves, have argued that the point of Spurs is something other than winning. What is that? That Levy gets to run the club his way, and all else takes its place accordingly.
All Spurs managers come up against the intractable problems of a fanbase at odds with Levy and whoever might now control what was the Joe Lewis stake in Enic.
