The chaos surrounding Spurs has been deafening at times, with not just fans, but betting companies and pizza firms cracking jokes at our expense.
The lack of a long-term footballing vision and strategy has been a key factor in the failure. Successive managers bring their own ideas, but none stick due to frequent sackings and inconsistent support. Critics note no clear methodology like rivals (e.g., Arsenal or Liverpool). Daniel Levy (long-time chairman, stepped down in September 2025 after ~25 years) was praised for financial stability and the new stadium but criticised for prioritising business and property over sustained on-pitch success.
If we stay in the division they really need to treat this as the severest warning shot ever and be serious this summer. Under this coach they have a chance. First priority get the chuckle brothers out.

Most fans were excited by the stadium, but then realised that it was much better than the football which was being served up. Paul’s sentiment sums up how many will feel, particularly in respect of the board, as Johan Lange and Vinai Venkatesham have infuriated supporters.
Post-Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs tried various profiles, including Mourinho, Conte, Nuno, Postecoglou, Thomas Frank, Roberto De Zerbi, Igor Tudor, with little lasting success. More managers sacked than home wins in parts of the period underlined the failure. Postecoglou delivered the Europa League but was axed after a dismal league finish. Subsequent hires like Frank failed quickly; Tudor’s short stint also disappointed.
Our view is that the Chuckles need to be sacked, and that the Lewis Family needs to tell us what their actual plans are.
