Sevilla director of football Ramon Rodriguez was in London on Thursday and it is thought he has begun negotiations with Spurs over compensation for Ramos. </p> Spurs reportedly want Leeds assistant boss Gus Poyet to assist Ramos, who only speaks rudimentary English. </p> According to reports from Spain the 53-year-old Ramos has agreed a four-year deal with Spurs. </p> </p><div class="avinline">Report: BBC football correspondent Jonathan Legard </div> </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="208" align="right" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 5px"></td><td class="sib606"><div class="sihf">606: DEBATE </div><div><div class="mva">Ramos would be an outstanding acquisition.

I haven't spoken to anyone. </p> "I don't know if something has gone on between the clubs. I don't have a clue." </p> Leeds said they had not received an approach from Spurs for Poyet - and would not welcome one. </p> However, the club later revealed Poyet has been asked to stay away from Elland Road for the League One game against Millwall on Saturday. </p> BBC Sport understands the Spurs board made the decision to sack Jol before the 2-1 defeat to Getafe on Thursday but decided not to inform the Dutchman until after the game. </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="208" align="right" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 5px"></td><td class="sib606"><div class="sihf">MIHIR BOSE BLOG </div><div><div class="mva">Apparently, Berbatov said, "If you're going, I'm going too." </div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></p> However, rumours about Jol's imminent departure spread around the ground during the match - which was watched by Rodriguez. </p> Jol said goodbye to Tottenham's players at the club's training ground on Friday and assistant Chris Hughton and the club's goalkeeping coach Hans Segers have also been dismissed. </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
Thank God we have Shep and Cryne. They get a lot of stick on this board but no-one can deny they have done a fabulous job here.
