Robinson, whose costly error against Germany helped them to defeat England 2-1 at Wembley on Wednesday, is clearly unhappy with the way Jol's future has been questioned at White Hart Lane.

Robinson declared: "What's been happening at the club is very disappointing. When you see how far Martin Jol has taken the club and the way he's managed it in the last two years, to then go behind his back to obviously seek other options is very disappointing. The manager has the full support of the players."

He added: "I think it is very difficult for him. There's been a lot that's happened and what the club has done is very disappointing. The players are 110% behind the manager and we just hope he stays as long as possible.

"I think it is known throughout the club the way the players feel about the manager. I think there a lot of players who are disappointed with the way things have unfolded this week.

"To question somebody's job after three games of the season is ridiculous, especially after what the man has done in the last two years.

"We've started the season better than Manchester United, we are above them in the league, but nobody has said anything about Sir Alex Ferguson so why should our manager be questioned?

"It's been difficult not to be affected by things, we see the TV and media like everyone and it is unsettling, especially when we've been settled for the last two or three seasons."
