Board Movement and Newcastle Game

The Board had two interesting releases over the past week. A few days ago the word leaked out that Paul Kemsley was leaving his post at Tottenham's board to manage his U.S. investments. This news was followed by the publication of the team's latest financial report showing Spurs have netted record profits.

These two issues raise some interesting questions about the club moving forward. Kemsley was known both for being caught on film wooing Ramos in Spain as well as for his efforts planning for a new stadium.

With many stories about the team's pending sale, it's interesting to note that the latest rumor involves Kemsley joining current Newcastle owner, and lifelong Spurs fan, Mike Ashley in a Tottenham takeover bid.

Is this a wind up in advance of tomorrow's game against Newcastle? There are already a number of other intriguing factors leading up to this match.

Props to Allardyce on exposing Spurs' weaknesses. Seems to have been effective....

On Jol and the movement behind the scenes, The Sun reports that Jol's days are numbered as he has not been named on Spurs' new Monopoly board.

Talk about useless conclusions.
