TOPSPURS - Jim Duggan's Tottenham Hotspur Site David Pleat had assembled a Spurs squad that was capable of a lot more than it had a chance to achieve. Pleat had played for numerous clubs including Luton, Shrewsbury, Exeter and Peterborough and had cut his teeth in management in the Southern League with Nuneaton Borough before returning to Kenilworth Road as coach. Pleat was soon upgraded to first team manager at Luton where his side's attacking style of play won him many admirers. www.topspurs.com /dpleat.htm

But Pleat, who is Director of Football at White Hart Lane, is cagey about whether or not he intends to make himself a contender for the job and about what role he might play in choosing a new manager. soccernet.espn.go.com /headlinenews?id=278202&cc=5739

David Pleat David Pleat is an articulate manage who has generally been popular with his staff and directors as well as the media. Pleat achieved much success at Luton Town where he helped establish the club as a First Division side, then he almost found success with Tottenham Hotspur in the brief period he spent there.

David's full managerial record include: Luton Town (25-01-1978 to 16-05-1986), Spurs (see above), Leicester City (24-12-1987 to 29-01-1991), Sheffield Wednesday (14-06-1995 to 03-11-1997), and Luton Town again (06-06-1991 to 14-06-1995). www.ynw62.dial.pipex.com /other38.htm

Spurs Fans Forum No. 2 3 Dec 1999 at The Legend Pleat said that Keane was watched in a pre-season game that Spurs played at Wolves, and during the part of the game that he did play, nothing was evident enough that would help determine his position in a Spurs team. David Pleat seemed to start off rather aggressively for some reason, but mellowed slightly after a while. Pleat compared this to the time Ron Saunders went from Aston Villa to Birmingham, and as soon as the introductory press conference was over, he went straight up to Frank Worthington, put his hand on his shoulder and said son, "you're leaving." Simple as that. www.thelegend.co.uk /spurs/2000/reports/fans_forum.htm

Spurs Odyssey - Pleat - Hoddle "spat" Having been present at a number of question and answer sessions that Pleat has always been only too willing to attend, I do know that David Pleat finds it hard NOT to give a comment to questions, and it seems that on this occasion he was easily drawn into passing comment upon the ex-manager. Pleat's Spurs have conceded only one in five games; remain unbeaten (at the time of writing); and have 4 clean sheets to their credit. If you read the quotes that were attributed to David Pleat, such as Glenn being "obsessed with 3-5-2", then it would be difficult to argue factually with what was said. www.spursodyssey.com /0304/blame.html

BBC SPORT Football My Club Tottenham Hotspur Pleat stays in charge Pleat will stay at the Spurs helm until next summer when chairman Daniel Levy is set to appoint a new manager. Pleat and Hughton have helped lift Spurs to 12th in the Premiership as well as taking them into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup. Pleat started his managerial career with Luton before taking over for his first spell in charge at Spurs in 1986. news.bbc.co.uk /sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/3310779.stm

Spurs News Archive -- Shelfside David Pleat and Chris Hughton have been confirmed in charge of the first team until the end of the season, and at last week's annual meeting chairman Daniel Levy said he had identified the man he wanted to appoint in the summer and is confident he will get him. David Pleat has dropped a massive hint that Tottenham are set to abandon their search for a manager and hand over control to Chris Hughton. Pleat said before the 2-1 victory over Aston Villa that the club were considering changing the structure of the club by employing a coach solely to look after the first team, with the director of football- Pleat - handling all other affairs. www.shelfside.com /newslist.htm

BBC SPORT Football My Club Tottenham Hotspur Pleat to continue attacking Tottenham caretaker boss David Pleat says he will not change his football philosophy after an amazing eight-goal thriller against Leicester. Pleat said: "We've had Groundhog Day in the past two weeks so many times it's almost surreal. Pleat saw Defoe take his goal tally to four in three Premiership games with Spurs' opener and the last-gasp point-saver. newsimg.bbc.co.uk /sport1/low/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/3507161.stm

ITV Football Pleat's unconfined joy at the final whistle remains one of the most celebrated images in English football history. Pleat went on to spend four years with Leicester City, four years in his third spell with Luton, and two years at Sheffield Wednesday before returning to Tottenham as Director of Football in 1998. The managerial career of David Pleat will best be remembered for his on-field celebrations when Luton Town avoided relegation from the top flight by winning their last game at Manchester City in 1982-83. www.itv-football.co.uk /The_ITV_Team/The_Pundits/story_67821.shtml

Pleat denied that there was anything wrong with Tottenham's attitude at half-time, adding on Sky Sports: "We weren't over-confident. www.ananova.com /sport/soccer/story/sm_862718.html?menu=

ESPN.com Soccernet England: News - Bradford job leaves Pleat with dilemma David Pleat, Tottenham's director of football, faces an agonising choice after being offered a return to frontline management in the wake of the sacking of Bradford boss Chris Hutchings. Richmond, who appointed Stuart McCall as caretaker-manager, will use all his powers of persuasion to entice Pleat back to Yorkshire after carrying out his threat to dispense with Hutchings barely five months after handing him his first management job. Bradford chairman Geoffrey Richmond believes Pleat's vast experience is the route to another unlikely escape act for his Premiership strugglers and has already begun the task of trying to lure him away from White Hart Lane. www.soccernet.com /england/news/2000/1107/20001107brcfcthfcpleat.html

ESPNSoccernet.com: England: Pleat back to make a point Pleat admitted as much when he said that, despite being poor in possession, he was pleased with his team's resolute display after being 'very much on the backfoot'. By a quirk of fate, something this country's football fixture list delivers so often, David Pleat's first league match as caretaker boss since the departure of Glenn Hoddle was away to Manchester City - the scene of one of his greatest managerial triumphs. Whether Spurs' director of football could be soon reunited with Antic remains to be seen, but Pleat could have been forgiven for repeating events of 20 years ago after his side defended doggedly to move out of the bottom three and get a welcome away point. soccernet.espn.go.com /feature?id=278871&cc=5739

White Hot Lines - November 2003 David Pleat hinted after today's game that the club may be looking to appoint a coach to take over team affairs while the Director of Football would take control of all other matters. David Pleat has said that if Mark Yeates can make his mark in the performances he puts in at Brighton and Hove Albion while on loan, then he might be promoted up the ladder at Tottenham. David Pleat will tear up Tottenham player's contracts if they misbehave off the field, like so many young stars who are hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons. www.mehstg.com /whot1103.htm

Sheffnet - Sheffield Wednesday Books Another "truth" which seems to emerge is the unpopularity of David Pleat (recently confirmed by Carlton Palmer), although immediately after he was sacked a lot of players took the trouble to dedicate the 5-0 victory against Bolton to "The Boss". Also, David Pleat's opinions on the criticism that is happily chucked his way by all and sundry may be of interest. www.sheffnet.com /default.asp?contentid=472

Scotsman.com Sport - Latest News - Spurs Hope Freddie Opts for France Pleat has some money to spend, although loan deals and free transfers could also appeal, with a central midfield holding player understood to be his main priority. Pleat said: “Freddie has a dual passport and unfortunately Mali have qualified for the African Nations’ Cup so I doubt they’re going to pull out.
