Several influential members of the Spurs board have decided that Harry Redknapp should replace Juande Ramos as manager.
They believe Redknapp's motivational skills and knowledge of the Premier League can quickly revive the league's bottom team.
His style is also seen as the ideal antidote to the shortcomings of Ramos, who has struggled to grasp English or to motivate his charges.
The board also now has doubts as to whether the Spaniard will be able to adjust to the unique demands of the Premier League.
Redknapp loves his life on the south coast. He lives in a huge, multi-million pound house overlooking the sea on the Sandbanks peninsula near Poole and has a short commute to work at Portsmouth.
Yet he is willing to listen to offers of other employment. Portsmouth are in serious financial difficulties, with owner Alexandre Gaydamak looking for a buyer for the club, and preparing to offload several players in the January transfer window.
Redknapp, who was born in Poplar, would see the Spurs job as his last big chance to prove himself at the top level in English football. It wouldn't involve uprooting himself and his family and he would back himself to quickly turn around a side that boasts several superb, but underperforming, players.
