Franco Baldini out Sevilla Sporting Director Monchi in?

Tottenham are said to be keen to employ Sevilla Sporting Director Ramón ‘Monchi’ Rodríguez Verdejo when his contract expires.

Monchi himself is said to want a job at FC Barcelona and Barcelona-based sports daily Mundo Deportivo report that former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has already had a meeting with him. That meeting they say was arranged by Guardiola's agent, his brother Pepe, to try and persuade the 46-year-old to join him at Bayern Munich.

He has turned down an offer to join Zenit St Petersburg and Jose Mourinho is known to have wanted him when at Real Madrid, clearly he is held in high regard.

Monchi is credited with compiling a low-budget squad that has gone on to win the Europa league and that appeals to Daniel Levy and the Tottenham board. His philosophy is broadly the same as Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino knows his work from the time the Argentinian was with Espanyol.

Where does that leave Franco Baldini? Are Tottenham not happy with his work thus far given the players he has brought in have not exactly set the Premier League alight. Monchi has decided this will be his last season at Sevilla, he waits for Barcelona but if they do not come knocking then we can expect Daniel Levy to step up his efforts.

Spurs Summer Transfer Window Day 24

Good morning and it's another spiffing day to be a proper positive Spurs fan during this exciting period of our carefully and meticulously planned evolution under Daniel Levy and ENIC. To further your excitement I have the Spurs Summer Transfer Window Day 24 piece for you. I know, you can hardly contain yourself can you. The eternal question, will he get straight into the news or will be keep us waiting again with some brilliant in sight into life at and around Tottenham. I'm undecided on that one folks, as of yet there is no Spurs Chat piece here, but who knows something might occur and I'll come back to fill in the blank, take you off the main transfer route into a local route (railway terms). If you have topics you'd like me to talk about please leave them in the comments. They all go for moderation so I do read them all and post all the sensible ones, leaving out the odd abusive one from some Levy hating doss-house in Scotland. In the meantime I said I read all

Summer Transfer Window Day 25

In Spurs Summer Transfer Window Day 25 we have a healthy Spurs Chat section about our club and it's brilliantly bright future thanks t the way it has been developed by Daniel Levy. You could argue that he is the best signing Spurs have ever made. Anyway this is the Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN) take on Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Alasdair Gold says he has heard (not from anyone at Spurs or with business knowledge he hasn't) that it’s ENIC's “peak time to sell the club.” That is complete garbage, more likely that he has invented it. You do not sell something you have just pumped £150m into! Do you change the engine in your car right before you sell it? There is zero chance ENIC sell for a few years yet, they would certainly want to see the club winning trophies first for a start and an increase in commercial sponsorship. There is simply too much money coming into the Premier League to sell, hence the interest in Chelsea. What Alasdair is mistaking is that we are n
