Tottenham coach Les Ferdinand is convinced sacked manager Andre Villas-Boas agreed to all his summer signings. Critics have pointed the finger at the host of players brought in by technical director Franco Baldini in the summer as the reason the side are not challenging for the title.
"Most of the signings were perhaps suggestions to him, but he agreed to those suggestions," Ferdinand told Beyond the Pitch.
"The bottom line is he agreed to all of those signings. It wasn't a case that the players were brought in and he was told 'You have to make a team of these players', because if you're a manager and that happens, you're destined for the sack."
