Spurs are bottom of the Premier League with just two points from seven games and Jol hinted that his successor, Juande Ramos, had made mistakes in the transfer market since winning the Carling Cup in February.

Jol led Spurs to top-five finishes in 2006 and 2007 but was dismissed after Spurs took seven points from their first 10 matches last term.

His new club, Hamburg, top the Bundesliga and at a press conference today Jol said: "Spurs have a worse situation now than last year, even though they now have stars like Jonathan Woodgate and Gareth Bale in defence.

"I had to field Pascal Chimbonda at left-back, Teemu Tainio at right-back and Younes Kaboul in central defence, so it was a totally different situation one year ago.

"They won the Carling Cup with a good team, which they then changed, but that is their responsibility."

Despite his sacking, Jol added: "I wish the club all the best."
