What’s happening at Spurs! Seriously, they must be the worst run “big club” in football. I think they’ll stay up but it’s not guaranteed. Draw against Everton is enough, West Ham play Leeds, it sounds like the voiceover for big blockbuster movie release. But seriously, they must be the most frustrating side to follow.
After Leeds over the last 20 years, of course!
mate! Spurs are painful to follow. A long time ago I emotionally detached from their results. It's ironic that they sack Levy and then this happens. The problem with Spurs is that (1) they don't pay their players (2) they'll compromise on getting their number one option because of price
That second thing is the entire story. Player A will improve the team but costs £60m (we're not even going to talk about the wages they'll want to pay). Spurs will bid £50m hoping to get the other club down to £55m. The other team tells them to get lost (Spurs are one of the most loathed clubs to deal with because of Levy's penny pinching). Spurs move off Player A. And look at Player B, who is clearly not as good as Player A, but serviceable in the same position. Spurs will bid £50m for that player, a player whose club knows they're worth £40m. Obviously the club agrees the deal. And Levy will crow that he saved £10m. Noooo you fucking MORON!! You've spent money on a player who's not going to improve the team.
Now imagine doing that repeatedly for a decade. That's how you move from a team that got to a Champions League final to a team struggling to survive in the premier league. And to this day, I guarantee you Daniel Levy still doesn't get it.
I don't claim to know what the new guys who've taken over will do. But if we survive...IF! This might be the lesson they need to understand how bad our squad actually is now. There are clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton and Liverpool that use a variant of money ball to find good value excellent players. I honestly don't understand what we do anymore. But it needs to change... PROFOUNDLY
