The solution to Saudi Sportswashing Machine's woes is so obvious - just get in some proper football men like Dennis Wise and Joe Kinnear!
Googling these charlatans... seems Spurs had some key links to these people... thank GHod we've got Daniel Levy in charge
"Tony Jimenez is often mentioned in the same breath as Wise in the North-East even though he has not been held as culpable for Keegan's demise.
He certainly has friends in high places and is close pals with Ashley and former Tottenham vice-chairman Paul Kemsley.
Brixton-born Jimenez, 45, who has Spanish roots, grew up in London and first came to public attention after he was spotted alongside Juande Ramos at the infamous meeting with Kemsley which led to the Spaniard's appointment at Tottenham two months later.
Jimenez was previously director of a sports management and promotion agency Casa Sports Holdings Ltd.
He apparently knows Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich well but first became acquainted with Wise and Gus Poyet, the Tottenham coach who has been tipped to succeed Keegan at Saudi Sportswashing Machine, while a steward at Stamford Bridge during the Nineties.
Ashley's loyalty to those two members of the 'roosterney Mafia' meant there was no way for back for Keegan, who refused to work with Wise or Jimenez unless their powers were diluted.
Ashley has got some good ideas but those advising him have not done him any favours or helped him achieve what he wanted. It is mess he didn't want to clear up and that is why he has been cast as the villain of the piece.
