Darren Bent insists Tottenham's players are "100 per cent" behind manager Martin Jol.

"He's been fantastic," said Bent.

"You can see the players are behind him 100%, everyone loves him. Whatever is going on behind closed doors we know nothing about.

"The players love him, the fans love him. He's our manager. It's surprising as we've finished fifth in the last two years - people are saying if you don't finish fourth then he's out. I think that is ridiculous."
