Jose has said in an interview that out of all the clubs he has managed, the only one he doesn't still care about is Tottenham. That really says something.
It’s even more telling with how poorly his spell at Roma ended, and he *still* dislikes Tottenham more as a manager. I truly hate Daniel Levy so so much
In the past few months, we’ve had “What on Earth is going on at” videos for Chile, Inverness, Sampdoria, Hull City (again), Man City and now Tottenham. We’re being spoiled here
Alfie mentioned that a What on Earth Is Going On At Montpellier video morphed into a general one about how French domestic football is a basket case and also that one is in development for the Ghana national team. Which is one to look forward too
To be fair, what is going on with half of the premier league. I doubt many people would've predicted the current standings at the beginning of the season.
More or less people would have had Man Utd & Spurs outside of the top 6. Only shock is Forest. Man Utd this season has been coming for years they’ve just always been lucky
@@kaihiggins725lucky? No 😂 our injury list has been abysmal and ten hag whilst definitely poor did incredibly well all things considered, now united learning a new system under a new manager they're bound to drop off for a bit, they're still learning/adapting.
Spurs’ trajectory over the past ~15 years has to be absolutely soul destroying for their fans. Break the top four, unleash Bale’s potential, sign van der Vaart (I think really underrated now what a big deal that was at the time), develop Kane & Modric. Then appoint a really talented young manager, bring in players like Son and Eriksen, spend periods at the top of the league, make a CL final. And then what? Nothing to show for it apart from a big stadium and an Audi Cup.
Could you make a video about the 2.Bundesliga? About how competitive it is, how the champion only gets about 60+ points, and how all the clubs can win against anyone. Etc.
At the very least that defence is crying out for an extra player. Having to rely on discards and out of position kids is unsustainable, plus there's that worry Spurs might have to rush back Romero and van der Ven only for them to get injured again very quickly
@@saelk09Ange doesn’t target players, no manager does that anymore. Spurs have a technical director and scouts who do that. They’ve signed no one, cause there is no money.
@@EgoPanikBGand what gets me about that is our weekly wage is £2mill. That’s 7th in the Prem and they could definitely afford up to £3mill, which would be 5th. That’s basically 6-7 high profile players. 6-7 players that could help with the injury crisis and give the team much needed depth, but they refuse to sign anyone.
Arsenal's lack of European success (despite their Domestic Honours, Large Fanbase and being a member of the European Elite) is something that isn't talked about enough.
John Cena is supposedly a Spurs fan. His catchphrase "You can't see me" seems perfectly apt in that we can't see any trophies in Spurs' trophy cabinet.
@Kiel_Robinson exactly. A couple of capable defenders, an actual defensive midfielder and a competent backup striker would fix most of the problems at Spurs
0:28 People seem to forget that when Abramovich took over at Chelsea, they'd finished in the top six for seven years straight (and in the top 4 in three of those years) and already had a squad full of world-class players. Chelsea were (IMHO) already part of the Big Four when Abramovich took over, all he did was give them the final extra push they needed to become title contenders.
Facts. People like to create a narrative that Chelsea were fighting for relegation or something when he Roman came in. Sure, he pumped millions into the club, but he did it intelligently and effectively; rather than some gung-ho owners who have deluded strategies.
We also won 2 fa cup's, a CWC and a league cup and nearly won the league in 1999 as well. I mean the reason Roman took over us instead of spurs was because we qualified for the UCL whilst spurs were rubbish.
The injuries excuse covers Ange right now (I am biased as an Australian), but that just shows the management are worse than ever if they're not willing to shell out for some replacements and instead are loaning to develop players five years down the track. Maybe this season it makes more sense to plan short term and aim for a cup win and a top half finish instead of trying to cheap out again
think we will tbh. one of tel, wissa, okafor, tzimas will be coming in almost certainly. imo if wissa or tel come in we’ll have a massive upturn in form. if we bring in another kid we’re fucked
They should just give him till the summer and see if he is able to win any trophy for them, even if it's just a league cup or Europa league. If not he'll likely get sacked, if so chances are he'll end up like Ten Hag where no matter who they bring in afterwards they won't improve.
I follow the spurs in memory of my late neighbour who took her life in the years past. With each match that i watch i slowly but surely start to understand why she did what she did
I dont think half of us can explain exactly why we love Spurs. Whether ya support Spurs or not, ya honour ya friends memory and i give ya respect for that........oh and enjoy the Spurs rollercoaster!!!
I hope Iraola doesn't end up coaching Tottenham, like Amorim at United. It is painful to see good young managers destroying their carreers at soulless clubs.
@@maxchan9537 The only manager who's career died after United was Van Gaal. Moyes was a huge success with West Ham, Mourinho was a success with Roma, Ole really should never have been in that position in the first place, Ragnick told the owners what the issues about the club were and they ignored him, and Ten Hag it's too early to tell.

Spurs fan here. First of all, really well-done summary. I think you pretty well summed up how I feel about this season, as well as the ownership. Secondly, for how terrible our form has been lately, it’s remarkable that there have been no rumors about squad discontent. Players aren’t coming forward with subtle digs at the manager or complaints about the training regiments. Rather, most of the complaints from the players have been regarding the board. Romero came out and criticized them a few months ago, and Kulusevski criticized them just earlier this week. Most remarkably of all, though, is the fact that Son has also criticized the board, and the fact that he, of all people, criticized the board says it all. Son is usually so professional both on and off the pitch, which makes it that much more important that he said something.
In the late 1990s, I worked with a Man City fan and also a Spurs fan. The Spurs fan was constantly optimistic, feeling that big things were 'just around the corner' whilst the Man City guy was the picture of misery, feeling that he was doomed to ever see his team ever win anything major in his lifetime. I wonder how they both feel now.
Terrific video, Alfie. Correctly identified the issue, which is Daniel Levy's itchy trigger finger. Poch took us to the UCL final, and six months later was gone after a few games of bad results. Ridiculous. A four-year project which had paid clear dividends in sporting terms, trashed in a heartbeat by an executive more focused on the bottom line than the sporting line. I didn't support Mourinho or Conte - I believe in long-term management projects, find them to be vastly more stable and effective (see Klopp, Guardiola, Arteta, et c., et c..), and both of them are short-term managers. They're also, as you noted, defensively-oriented, and that never suited who Tottenham are, who we'd bought, or anything. We take "To Dare is To Do" seriously. We want to see exciting, adventurous football, played at high pace and with glittering skill. For me, that kind of football, along with regular high finishes, is a pretty good way to live. And doing so would almost certainly lead to trophies. But it requires having an ability to lift your eyes above the bottom line, and see into the future a bit. Levy only looks into the future to see Number Go Up.
TOTTENHAM BOARD MEETING: "Our team's back half looks in horrible state, we need to fix this problem and get our overworked defense some rest and assistance." "You're right. Hire more strikers and wingers."
Shit excuse. Newcastle had far worse injuries last season and were told to get on with it. The injuries are caused by Ange’s naive tactics which don’t work in the prem
@@kaihiggins725stats say the most Newcastle had out last season for one gameweek was 11. Spurs currently have 12 and that’s with two players coming back in Richarlison and Davies
Alfie said it himself, lots of short high intensity bursts of training during in the training sessions. It's a recipe for injuries, and so it's proved.
I wondered what were going on there myself. Such a sad state that club find itself in. Feeling for Son though. Class player and such a rare breed considering his loyalty towards his club.
Would Iraola be better than Ange? He has 11 injuries in his squad and Bournemouth only play 1 game a week. In that case you can say there is an issue with the training. I highly doubt Ange or spurs have any actual time to train with their schedule.
The training was scaled back weeks ago due to the injuries. They haven't been training with high intensity lately, they just haven't been able to rotate. Spurs have genuinely been the victims of extreme misfortune. Bentancur was banned, Mikey Moore has a virus that kept him out for longer than a month, Solanke was injured immediately and then was injured during a shooting drill, Romero was injured during a tackle immediately after returning from a muscle injury, Vicario's was also a contact injury, and Odobert was injured immediately at the start of the season, while also suffering a setback during his rehab.
I have no sympathy with teams blaming injuries for performance. Newcastle was just as badly hit last season and finished 7th. They would also get ridiculed when bringing up their injuries. Spurs need to man up and deal with this.
We don’t even have 10 outfield players, we have no defenders playing in their natural position. Many teams could survive this, but not Levy’s Tottenham because he refuses to buy depth
idiotic take. tottenham also had 12 players out this year at one point so don’t act like newcastle faced a worse crisis. the difference is tottenham have stingy owners who refuse to add depth while newcastle have the financial backing of an entire country and have significantly more depth. you can’t just not take into account the differences in their squads and say that they have to “man up” when their squads are in significantly different spots. tottenham has so little depth they had to add six 17 y/o players to the bench against leicester and even then they didn’t have enough players to fully fill out their bench. their situations are just not comparable
@chadtheafricanbullfrog418 Lol we have signed zero first team players in 18 months, so you're not only the stingy ones. We managed to actually finish 7th with 12 injured players and a banned first team midfielder. We play quite intense too, however our manager actually changes tactics when our players are injured unlike yours. So Spurs need to get a grip and stop blaming the injuries.
I remember someone leaving a comment at 'why can't Tottenham win anything' video saying something along the lines of "be grateful that at least you guys aren't subject of 'what on earth is going on at ___' video." Yikes.
I love how the kit on the thumbnail has been edited to show the badge and the Nike tick in the usual position instead down the centre, where it actually is.
You don't get to force a giga intense playstyle and an even worse training regime then complain about injuries lmao. Especially if you know that the board will not get you signings, backup and replacements. It's a problem of their own making, Ange is breaking his own players, he should know better.
Other teams around Europe have implemented far more intense pressing styles over the last ten years. None of them have had injury troubles like we have, and none of us know what their training sessions are like so that's pure speculation. It's just really bad luck is what it is
I'm Leeds. What annoys me bout spurs is the fact their seen as one of the "big 6" especially during the Premier League era but no bigger club than us, Newcastle, Villa, Forest and Everton etc but get big club status cos their a London club. Shows the bias from southern clubs to Northern clubs.
The root cause of the matter with Tottenham is the amount of money regarding player transfers, not to mention Ange Postecoglu’s approach to our once-beautiful game. He’s still manager of a club that has only won in TEN matches. And it’s no surprise just how much wages players are constantly getting from big PL clubs, season by season. My personal opinion is that football clubs are overspending a lot, as far as finances are concerned.
I think part of the problem is that Levy is clearly a shrewd businessman, but doesn't understand anything about football. Sacking Poch after only 5 defeats is criminal, sacking Mourinho before a cup final to avoid paying him a win bonus, not bringing in even any emergency loans in the middle of the worst injury crisis the club's experienced in at least the last 5 years (during a transfer window), the list goes on. I'm not even a Spurs fan and yet I know about these, what must be going on that Spurs fans know about?
It's a strange season when Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are challenging for the CL places and Man Utd and Spurs are in the bottom half 2 of the big 6 strange times indeed
@@SuperAnimeking100the same Daniel Levy who took them from a bottom half prem side to title challengers, champions league football and European football almost every season for 30 years? Wow some curse
As a rather dark tanned Asian man, I get high praises from the opposite sex whenever I wear the Spurs kit or even the England one. They always remarked "you look cleaner and brighter with this kit" than the others, whether it's blue, red or yellow. And they have absolutely no idea what is a Tottenham. Undoubtedly, the kit looks even nicer on a fairer skinned individual. Perhaps that's the appeal why they are such a famous club despite so little trophies to show off to from this century alone.
Hi Alfie, strange video idea but the suggesting a video on the best managers by time managed ratio. Top spot might have to be Del Bosque. Having a relatively short top flight career. From 1999-2003 he won 2 champions leagues and 2 la Ligas. Then in 8 years for Spain he won 2 euros and 1 World Cup- I don’t think there’s another manager like him!
Blame injuries all you like, when we played Tottenham all I saw was a team trying for 90 minutes to play out from the back despite not having the talent to do so. A few long balls and I reckon we would have been undone Palace 1 - 0 Tottenham.
That Ange didn't go in for Kyogo Furuhashi this month, I find quite puzzling. He wanted to leave Celtic. Would have cost just £10m and he fits Anges system perfectly. Add to that that he can play as a pretty effective winger too. Why didn't that move happen?
Ima be honest spurs totally fells like someone playing Football manager, that want to either buy cheap player or introduce youth academy player, so spurs and management able to spend cheap, but also able to profit big when they sell. Yep tottally sounds like my Football Manager save😂😂
Spurs isn't a club - it's a business with a sizeable number of fans more interested in what Arsenal are doing, no wonder Ange ranted after the City game last season about his own fan base. The biggest issue for them is Levy - he is a sort of Ed Woodward, commercially savvy but has no idea about the actual football operations - their wage structure is seriously holding them back
That season when Tottenham did not sign any players that seems like levy did it out spite. After poch said he's got ideas and guess levy did not like it.
People like to create a narrative that Chelsea were fighting for relegation or something when he Roman came in. They were in Europe, competing for domestic trophies and finishing top 6 to top 4 most years in the prem Sure, he pumped millions into the club, but he did it intelligently and effectively; rather than some gung-ho owners who have deluded strategies. Plenty of owners are billionaires, but not all understand how to run a football club.
To understand Ange's mindset only look at the 11th game of last season Against Chelsea they went down to 9 men and still tried to play offside on the half way line This wasn't brave it was reckless, even Jackson whom seems to try to avoid scoring managed to get a hat trick
Daniel Levy has an eye for coaches though. All good managers: Mourinho, Nuno Espírito Santo, Conte, Ange Postecoglou. Also, Tottenham have 2 or 3 players on loan, that they can call back, why don't they do this?
That’s not difficult to answer. Weekly wage cut by 20 percent. Only one more 100k plus player than Palace. Short two in EL roster. Three in PL roster both by homegrown 17 and PL max of 25 minus 21 & under. Last two pointing more minutes for fewer players adding up to injuries above most PL injury average.
The terms profit and sustainability seem to be oxymorons and a cop out trying to make both the clubs and the League happy at the same time which is now proving to be even more ridiculous than when it was started and it's their own faults. I love your comment that Tottenham is a stadium with a club attached to it is so true. I support Crystal Palace so I know all about what the power of stadium ownership is all about. It's a symptom of a bigger problem of the unsustainability of the increasing value of real estate. Instead of Tottenham using their stadium to generate revenue for the club, the club is just one of many entities trying to generate revenue for the stadium. As you stated they don't even spend the revenue the club generates on the club. Ange is a great manager and has proven time and time again that he can do great things with very little but I think with all the injuries and lack of funds compared to other clubs this might be a bridge too far.
I don't think it is talked about enough how Kane carried Spurs for years. Spurs are the kind of team I'd give a 4-0 lead to in a Champions League Final with 10 minutes to go and still not trust them to win the game. They've had Poch, Mourinho, Nuno, Conte...They've had the best managers they are a going to get. I don't know where they turn now. It seems to be the same story with every manager they have. It starts off well and "they're going to win the League" and then within 18 months it has fallen apart again.
Jose has said in an interview that out of all the clubs he has managed, the only one he doesn't still care about is Tottenham. That really says something.
Yup. He even called it “Daniel Levy’s Club” in that press conference.

As a Spurs fan, im excited but nervous to hear what Alfie has to say!!
The interview with Anton McEhone on OhSoSpurs is very enlightening. COYS Ange in.
Trust the whole world to ignore it because it doesn't fit the narrative.
I don’t understand Sons game at the start and the end of the season he’s world class but around now he’s nowhere to be seen.
almost like if football is 11 v 11 and your teammates are important or something...
He ain't Messi mate
Day 5: Footballers whose nicknames became a stick to beat them with. Example
The Welsh Xavi - Joe Allen
Fox in the box - Francis Jeffers
I really thought I’d never see one of these videos about my club, what a mess this situation has become.
Do you think he should be sacked?
I mean is this any surprise??? Even the manager said it, they care more about other clubs not winning then they care about themselves
I have no sympathy with teams blaming injuries for performance. Newcastle was just as badly hit last season and finished 7th. They would also get ridiculed when bringing up their injuries. Spurs need to man up and deal with this.
We don’t even have 10 outfield players, we have no defenders playing in their natural position. Many teams could survive this, but not Levy’s Tottenham because he refuses to buy depth
@aujackson6529 Newcastle had 12 out last season stop crying
@@danielkitts9685 You are illiterate
idiotic take. tottenham also had 12 players out this year at one point so don’t act like newcastle faced a worse crisis.
the difference is tottenham have stingy owners who refuse to add depth while newcastle have the financial backing of an entire country and have significantly more depth. you can’t just not take into account the differences in their squads and say that they have to “man up” when their squads are in significantly different spots.
tottenham has so little depth they had to add six 17 y/o players to the bench against leicester and even then they didn’t have enough players to fully fill out their bench. their situations are just not comparable
@chadtheafricanbullfrog418 Lol we have signed zero first team players in 18 months, so you're not only the stingy ones. We managed to actually finish 7th with 12 injured players and a banned first team midfielder. We play quite intense too, however our manager actually changes tactics when our players are injured unlike yours. So Spurs need to get a grip and stop blaming the injuries.
I remember someone leaving a comment at 'why can't Tottenham win anything' video saying something along the lines of "be grateful that at least you guys aren't subject of 'what on earth is going on at ___' video." Yikes.
I love how the kit on the thumbnail has been edited to show the badge and the Nike tick in the usual position instead down the centre, where it actually is.
You don't get to force a giga intense playstyle and an even worse training regime then complain about injuries lmao. Especially if you know that the board will not get you signings, backup and replacements. It's a problem of their own making, Ange is breaking his own players, he should know better.
Other teams around Europe have implemented far more intense pressing styles over the last ten years. None of them have had injury troubles like we have, and none of us know what their training sessions are like so that's pure speculation. It's just really bad luck is what it is
@@Dawg_Lotion the super intense training sessions are mentioned in this video itself
@@dylan__dogAnd its wrong. They already scaled back the training regimen.
As a Spurs fan, I have been waiting for this video all season mate, this season is bleak af xD
I always get the impression that as long as t they are making cash and not getting relegated Levy is happy.
I'm Leeds. What annoys me bout spurs is the fact their seen as one of the "big 6" especially during the Premier League era but no bigger club than us, Newcastle, Villa, Forest and Everton etc but get big club status cos their a London club. Shows the bias from southern clubs to Northern clubs.
"and Phil Brown" 😂
That's why we love Alfie!
DeNarmo Zagreb is plumbing the depths, even for Alfie's pronounciation!
We need a what on earth is going on at Luton please
Great video
The root cause of the matter with Tottenham is the amount of money regarding player transfers, not to mention Ange Postecoglu’s approach to our once-beautiful game. He’s still manager of a club that has only won in TEN matches. And it’s no surprise just how much wages players are constantly getting from big PL clubs, season by season. My personal opinion is that football clubs are overspending a lot, as far as finances are concerned.
All of his best players are injured😭
Another great video. How about a 30 minute video about Kirivong Sok Sen Chey? Bet you couldn't manage that!🤔😀
I think part of the problem is that Levy is clearly a shrewd businessman, but doesn't understand anything about football. Sacking Poch after only 5 defeats is criminal, sacking Mourinho before a cup final to avoid paying him a win bonus, not bringing in even any emergency loans in the middle of the worst injury crisis the club's experienced in at least the last 5 years (during a transfer window), the list goes on. I'm not even a Spurs fan and yet I know about these, what must be going on that Spurs fans know about?
It's a strange season when Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are challenging for the CL places and Man Utd and Spurs are in the bottom half 2 of the big 6 strange times indeed
been waiting for this one 😅
Thank you for shining a light on the incompetent board that could care less about the sporting project COYS
At this point I believe Tottenham is cursed.
Yeah, its name is Daniel Levy
@@SuperAnimeking100the same Daniel Levy who took them from a bottom half prem side to title challengers, champions league football and European football almost every season for 30 years?
Wow some curse
@@kaihiggins725we ARE A BOTTOM HALF PREM SIDE
As a rather dark tanned Asian man, I get high praises from the opposite sex whenever I wear the Spurs kit or even the England one. They always remarked "you look cleaner and brighter with this kit" than the others, whether it's blue, red or yellow. And they have absolutely no idea what is a Tottenham. Undoubtedly, the kit looks even nicer on a fairer skinned individual. Perhaps that's the appeal why they are such a famous club despite so little trophies to show off to from this century alone.
"People's channel " with video of North Korea lol, never change Alfie
Spurs is a well run business that has a football team as an after thought.
Are tottenham the "good luck chuck " club? Managers go on to achieve in their next role...
Hi Alfie, strange video idea but the suggesting a video on the best managers by time managed ratio. Top spot might have to be Del Bosque. Having a relatively short top flight career. From 1999-2003 he won 2 champions leagues and 2 la Ligas. Then in 8 years for Spain he won 2 euros and 1 World Cup- I don’t think there’s another manager like him!
Always love the mandatory Hull City reference 🤣💜
Blame injuries all you like, when we played Tottenham all I saw was a team trying for 90 minutes to play out from the back despite not having the talent to do so. A few long balls and I reckon we would have been undone Palace 1 - 0 Tottenham.
Please make sure Expressions sees this
It's the history of the Tottenham
As a spurs fan this season I’ve decided to support Deportivo Nampula instead 😂😂😂
Day 19 of asking for a video about the 7 greatest scandinavian players of all time.
It’s who we are mate, it’s the history of the Tottenham
Then you don't know Tottenham's history.
@@kclink1579 the history channel knows cause there’s very little after 1990
That Ange didn't go in for Kyogo Furuhashi this month, I find quite puzzling.
He wanted to leave Celtic. Would have cost just £10m and he fits Anges system perfectly.
Add to that that he can play as a pretty effective winger too.
Why didn't that move happen?
They're not gonna get relegated but it would be super hilarious & interesting to see them get relegated and have to play in the 2nd tier 😂😂
1:08 wow I was not expecting Westham to be in the top big boys list
We are so back
Ima be honest spurs totally fells like someone playing Football manager, that want to either buy cheap player or introduce youth academy player, so spurs and management able to spend cheap, but also able to profit big when they sell. Yep tottally sounds like my Football Manager save😂😂
Spurs isn't a club - it's a business with a sizeable number of fans more interested in what Arsenal are doing, no wonder Ange ranted after the City game last season about his own fan base. The biggest issue for them is Levy - he is a sort of Ed Woodward, commercially savvy but has no idea about the actual football operations - their wage structure is seriously holding them back
That season when Tottenham did not sign any players that seems like levy did it out spite. After poch said he's got ideas and guess levy did not like it.
What a time to be on TH-cam, Alfie has dropped 😂
People like to create a narrative that Chelsea were fighting for relegation or something when he Roman came in.
They were in Europe, competing for domestic trophies and finishing top 6 to top 4 most years in the prem
Sure, he pumped millions into the club, but he did it intelligently and effectively; rather than some gung-ho owners who have deluded strategies.
Plenty of owners are billionaires, but not all understand how to run a football club.
Son wasted his career, who the hell wants to be a Spurs Legend?
To understand Ange's mindset only look at the 11th game of last season
Against Chelsea they went down to 9 men and still tried to play offside on the half way line
This wasn't brave it was reckless, even Jackson whom seems to try to avoid scoring managed to get a hat trick
HITC Sevens: What On Earth Is Going On At Tottenham Hotspur?
Me: Uhm...they are Tottenham Hotspur.
Daniel Levy has an eye for coaches though. All good managers: Mourinho, Nuno Espírito Santo, Conte, Ange Postecoglou.
Also, Tottenham have 2 or 3 players on loan, that they can call back, why don't they do this?
Don’t question Spursy wasting your time 💀
That’s not difficult to answer. Weekly wage cut by 20 percent. Only one more 100k plus player than Palace. Short two in EL roster. Three in PL roster both by homegrown 17 and PL max of 25 minus 21 & under. Last two pointing more minutes for fewer players adding up to injuries above most PL injury average.
Bro if our doing one about spurs these times you also have to do one about dortmund
Rewind this video 20 years, and it sounds like Liverpool
I am loving the state of spurs and man u this season
Id like to tell the Tottenham fans that all the income is almost a cheat code in FM
18:04 just a nitpick, but Gray played CB with Davies at LB
The terms profit and sustainability seem to be oxymorons and a cop out trying to make both the clubs and the League happy at the same time which is now proving to be even more ridiculous than when it was started and it's their own faults. I love your comment that Tottenham is a stadium with a club attached to it is so true. I support Crystal Palace so I know all about what the power of stadium ownership is all about. It's a symptom of a bigger problem of the unsustainability of the increasing value of real estate. Instead of Tottenham using their stadium to generate revenue for the club, the club is just one of many entities trying to generate revenue for the stadium. As you stated they don't even spend the revenue the club generates on the club. Ange is a great manager and has proven time and time again that he can do great things with very little but I think with all the injuries and lack of funds compared to other clubs this might be a bridge too far.
I don't think it is talked about enough how Kane carried Spurs for years.
Spurs are the kind of team I'd give a 4-0 lead to in a Champions League Final with 10 minutes to go and still not trust them to win the game.
They've had Poch, Mourinho, Nuno, Conte...They've had the best managers they are a going to get. I don't know where they turn now. It seems to be the same story with every manager they have. It starts off well and "they're going to win the League" and then within 18 months it has fallen apart again.
