Santini quits Spurs - Personal Reasons or Power Struggle?

Gamblog discusses the surprise resignation of Jacques Santini on Friday as Spurs troubles continue with Charlton beating them 3-2

Santini had only been at Spurs for 13 none too exciting games before citing 'personal reasons' as his reason for departure.

Whilst it does appear there is an illness in his family back in France, the abrupt departure has caused speculation there was more too the story as he became the shortest reigning Spurs manager in their history.

The Telegraph claims the real reason for his resignation is due to a power struggle at board level between Santini, Daniel Levy and Frank Arnesson and further claims there were already rumours of his resignation a few days before the announcement.

Its seems Santini's assistant, Martin Jol, is favourite to take over the reigns at White Hart Lane as Spurs prepare to make a full announcement in the next day or 2 after their AGM
