Big Martin

The Spurs manager, Martin Jol, has been 'linked' (to use the word which means that a few hacks have put 2 and 2 together and probably made 5) with the now vacant coach's role at Ajax.

In this context, I clearly owe Peter Schmeichel an apology. For years I have thought that he was a typical Red - overbearing, arrgoant, contemptuous and deserving of pillory.

Clearly, however, he is a man of exquisite taste and judgement. As he put it on Match of the Day last night:


Spurs is a bigger job than Ajax.

Quite right, too.
