Jol rubbishes Spurs quit claims

Martin Jol says he's surprised by reports that he wants to quit as Tottenham manager.

He insisted: "Everybody is committed to the cause of getting higher up the league and making a success of the season.

"This is dominating my thoughts at the moment and so you can imagine how surprised I was to hear that one newspaper was suggesting that I was on the verge of quitting my job today. What a load of rubbish."

Jol is still publicly insisting he has the backing of chairman Levy after being asked about the Mourinho reports.

He said: "Daniel Levy called me to tell me that it's all rubbish and that he wants me here next year.

"He's always good to me and has always backed me."
