Ramos Not Worried About Losing Job

Under-fire Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has played down speculation that he is one or two more losses away from losing his job.

Hailed as the Spurs' saviour when arriving from Sevilla during last season, the Spaniard has overseen Tottenham's worst ever Premiership start, with the 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth keeping them rooted to the bottom of the table.

At Fratton Park, the traveling fans showed their discontent with the infamous 'you don't know what you're doing chant', but Ramos is confident that he can turn things around and that he will be given the time to do so.

When pressed on whether he can still count on the full backing of the board he said: "Absolutely. We speak regularly and everyone is aware of our delicate position.

"Whether I survive is something for the chairman and the board to decide but I'm not hurt (by the fans' abuse). What hurts is not winning matches."

"We are in a complicated situation and nobody seems to help us when we need it," he was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"Portsmouth scored from a penalty today but in the same kind of incident we were denied a penalty - the same as against Wigan last week. In critical moments we are not getting these decisions.

"We have been playing with two strikers in most games but we used just one against Newcastle and it worked better. Bent had played every minute of the six previous games and needed a break.

"It is true that when you come here and feel up for winning that it is very disappointing when you lose, but the players know we have another game in another competition on Thursday and we must recover from this very quickly."
