Key points:
- Tottenham have the lowest net spend (£29 million) in the #PL from 2014-2019. Pochettino achieves an average league position of 3.4 during this stretch.
- Tottenham become the first #PL club in history not to make a summer signing on August 9, 2018, and they subsequently do not sign anyone in January 2019 either. Pochettino finishes 4th.
- No players signed from 2/1/18 until 7/2/19 (516 days), which largely contributes to the lackluster league positions in 19/20 and 20/21.
- Moved into THS in April 2019.
- After signing zero players in 516 days, Pochettino reaches a #UCL final. He is sacked 171 days later.
- Clear drop off after Pochettino was sacked in November 2019.
- 2023/24 financial results show that #THFC report a 42% wage to turnover ratio, by far the lowest in the #PL. Subsequent league positions following this report are 17th and 14th.
- Failure to address key areas in the squad (lack of squad depth to cope with injuries) contributes to the steady decline in league position from 22/23 to present.
- #THFC go through 8 managers in 7 seasons from 19/20 to present. 5 of the 8 managers play defensive football.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
It’s not bad luck, it’s pure negligence. We deserve to be where we are. The situation will not change until we do.
#COYS
Why bother with a membership 🤷♂️ club must seriously look at pricing next season, scrap the categories and drop the prices. Football will be the easiest sacrifice for many when the cost of living bites hard (harder) 🙄
@JonnyH3232@hengy@LastWordOnSpurs Frank’s got it right 3 times this season. 3 out of 25. And you hounded Ange our for this. He’s had practically a fully fit defence + 100mil in attacking signings. 11/16 games where we fail to reach 1XG.
I’m sorry, but I can’t get behind this way of playing.
It feels cowardly, and it’s boring to watch.
I want to feel proud of how my team plays.
Sitting deep with no desire to keep the ball or take the game into our own hands doesn’t do that. It just leaves me feeling ashamed.
Utterly fuming after that game.
Idiotic IQ from some of this team.
We are chasing a goal and Vicario stands with the ball in his hands for 7.9 seconds.
I don’t care what anyone says, no it’s not a priority but Vicario is soooo upgradable.
Again like many of us said, why did we not start Xavi, we signed a superb 10 to bench him in a game where we needed him the most.
2-2 from the outside is a decent result but the way it happened is infuriating.
Kudus, Udogie and Palhinha were class.
Bergvall and Richarlison also had a decent game, was holding up the ball quite well majority of the time.
Clean sheet v Frankfurt (A)
Clean sheet v Bødø (A)
Clean sheet v United (N)
European silverware was won off the back of a strong, uncharacteristically resilient defence. Spurs are in the UCL for that reason.
I'd call that a continuation rather than a transformation.
Honestly the referees & VAR have had an absolute shocker of a start to the season. If that goal is disallowed for a foul you will never ever see a corner be taken without referee blowing for something ever again🫣🤷🏻♂️
Prepared for the Super Cup ❌
Ready for a season in the Champions League ❌
Making sure we never finish 17th ever again ❌
Closing gap to all our rivals ❌
Backing the new manager ❌
Time to bed in new signings ❌
Yet another summer of neglect from Daniel Levy and ENIC 👍
The way Maddison is underrated is crazy to me
Pretty much our best player 75% of the time he plays for us (barring Romero)
So pivotal to everything we do
In a functioning team, where he has less build up responsibilities his creative numbers will skyrocket
@Lilywhite_Rose Ndombele £60m sold for £0
Lo Celso £45m sold for £0
Bryan Gil £30m sold for £0
Sessegnon £30m sold for £0
Reguilon £30m sold for £0
Some seriously atrocious recruitment over the years
