The Spurs manager Juande Ramos, Damien Comolli and Gus Poyet, have all left the club tonight ahead of a crucial clash with Bolton. Spurs have recorded their worse run in the clubs history and languish in last position in the Premiership.

The Spurs Chairman and board are believed to have given Ramos 6 games or until Christmas to turn the fortunes around of the club, but the pressure may have been too much for the board at the north London club and a replacement according to sources at White Hart Lane will be announced.

Favourites to take the job include Harry Redknapp, Mark Hughes, a potential return for Terry Venables or another foreign coach like Gus Hiddink.

The official statement:

The Club can announce that Damien Comolli, Sporting Director, Juande Ramos, Head Coach and First Team Coaches, Marcos Alvarez and Gus Poyet, have left the Club, with immediate effect. We wish them well.

Clive Allen, Development Squad Coach, and Alex Inglethorpe, Youth Team Manager, will take charge for Sunday's League match against Bolton.

An announcement will be made on First Team coaching staff in due course.
