Tough questions on Spurs agenda

Decision day is coming and Spurs fans cannot wait. They want answers to some pressing questions at the club's annual meeting on Thursday.

The biggest of these concerns is the identity of their next manager. Their anxiety would have been heightened as they watched acting-manager David Pleat's side struggle to overcome a Wolves team that is surely destined for the drop.

Again the long-suffering Spurs fans had to watch the opposing team dictate the play for long periods. Pleat has done his best and most Spurs fans acknowledge that - seven wins out of 12 is no mean feat.

But Thursday's AGM is the time for chairman Daniel Levy to put his head above the parapet and answer questions.

The difference between Spurs and Wolves was the finishing. Spurs had the class of Freddie Kanoute and hat-trick hero Robbie Keane; Wolves had nothing that closely resembled it. Yet they still gave Spurs a game with goals from Paul Ince and Alex Rae.

Allied to the clinical strikes from Keane and Kanoute was a wonderful finish from Stephane Dalmat, surely worth the entrance fee alone, and it gave the game a more than flattering 5-2 scoreline.

It was a strange afternoon for former Wolves striker Keane as his trademark somersault and gun-toting celebration was dispensed with. "I didn't celebrate out of respect," he said. "I did not want to rub it in as they have been so good for my career and me personally.

"I went there when I was 15 and they made a young lad feel very welcome. They couldn't have done enough for me - they were exceptional.

"As a striker, though, you do your job and score regardless of who the opposition is. That's just the way it goes but I do have mixed emotions. I just hope they stay up. They deserve the Premiership."

Wolves skipper Ince knew Spurs were lucky. He said: "There is no way they were three goals better than us. The scoreline was a joke.

"Anyone who says we didn't deserve something out of the game doesn't know anything about football. We got punished for every mistake."

But Thursday is the time for clarification about the future or Levy can expect more of the boos that accompanied the team at half-time on Saturday.
