Former Tottenham Hotspurs manager Martin Jol today slammed his former club for buying players for the wrong reasons, confirming what most people already believed that big signings like Darren Bent and Younes Kaboul were not Jol’s choices but those of director of football Damien Comolli.
Jol told The Sun: "I felt the squad would be unbalanced with these signings and it proved to be the case.
"The funny thing is the new manager will probably come to the same conclusion and the club will go out in January and buy the two players I felt we needed.
"When Frank Arnesen was director of football we spoke together about the players to bring to the club.
"But I did not have the same relationship with the next man (Comolli).
"I think the club wanted to invest in younger players because they wanted to make money on them in the future. The decisions were not being made for footballing reasons.
"I knew that in the summer and I realised my position was becoming very difficult."
