He was doing OK on the football side, usually top 6 under him, not sure how much better they can hope for, the owners gave him the boot last year |
Spurs finished 17th in the 2024-2025 season and he left 4 months later. Maybe it wasn't down to him or maybe it was, which is why he got the boot, but the rot did start while he was there.
I have read suggestions that his focus (for extra income revenue) was taken away from the footballing side and onto other things such as the concerts, NFL etc.
Either way, it's stark warning that a bigger stadium doesn't guarantee success. Arsenal's success in the first 10 years of the Emirates is pale compared to the last 10 years at Highbury.
What it does cause those is when you are relying on such massive incomes streams, you've got to maintain those streams just to stand still once you've committed to outgoings (especially player contracts/salaries). The minute any of those income streams go away, if they're not replaced with at least like-for-like, you're now going into a deficit.
Anyway, it's funny as fk. I have nothing against Spurs but it just goes to show that all these promises clubs makes about needing a new stadium (with inevitable inflated ticket prices) in order to 'move forward', 'win silverware' etc. can slap them back in the face. |  | | |

On the Friday before the Brentford match
A Spurs fan at the golf club said.
"De Zerbi is the second coming".
On the Monday I said to him.
"After the first he didn't see the second coming or the third.
He told me to F--k OFF.
No sense of humour these Spurs fans.  | | | |

It's almost as if changing managers every third of the season over multiple seasons, each and every one of them wanting their own players and systems (spending literally billions in the process) doesn't work! No foundations, no real identity and circling the drain for a while now, bring it on I say. |  | | |

Tonali, a notorious head fck, £100m. |
He’s spending his money in Bond Street . Seen him there with his partner the other week.
I wasn’t shopping there , I might add.
On the Spurs thing .
For every Man Utd , Chelsea and spurs .
There’s Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth. | | | |

Some excellent managers just don’t work at some clubs. Frankel for example
I think de zerbi will get it right.
I don’t mind Spurs surprisingly after how I felt post 82. F cuk Ossies dream but what a footballer. [Post edited 25 Sep 15:31]

Karma for how they treated Big Ange. |
...and Martin Jol. What Spurs wouldn't give for finishing fifth two years running now.
Their debt is getting scary, too, the club's net debt as of 30 June 2025 increased from £772.5m to £831.2m. Yikes!  |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

Pochettino, in four of his five seasons, he got Spurs to 5th, 3rd, 2nd and 3rd again.
They had only managed two top four seasons in the previous twenty two seasons of the premier league. He got them also to a league cup final and FA Cup semi finals also.
And then they sacked him, five months after he got them to the champions league final. they were 14th, but plenty of time to improve their position. It was only 12 games in that season also.
Spurs in the Champions league final - WOW - and then they gave him a brown envelope containing his P45, just a few months on.
Remember thinking at the time, they will regret that in the future. Gutted for them. Such a sad story !!

A loser mentality from the players, but more importantly those behind the scenes.
They probably need to do what Nourry has done with us. Bin off coaches etc who aren't up to the job and have become way to comfortable at not being challenged.
But fck 'em. Its funny. | |

And what distinguishes the 3 B’s from the others?
Culture, mentality, and stability, all derived from implementing the right plan with the right people and seeing it through. Spending millions is not often the answer.
That’s why I really like what I’m seeing and hearing at QPR. No money to spend, but we are building a culture and mentality that will move us forward. Quality players just move it to the next level. | | | |
