But the fact that they're not really backed by a foreign investment and be able to be a significant side is at least commendable. And let's face it, Spurs is a significant side of English football still. If they had won the league, the feeling won't be the same as when Leicester had won it. Because they don't feel like underdogs, even after numerous underwhelming years. It's partly because of the exciting squad at the time, but also because of the history.

One of the most unique football clubs for sure, if not the most. - Rich in history but not as many trophies as the truly elite clubs. - Generate a lot of income. But spend very little. - Very decently run club. - Spurs DNA is very attacking football (except the years of Mourinho, Nuno and Conte). - Known for flair but also for weak mentality. - Large fan base. Extremely loyal. - Probably the best football stadium in the world. - Have/had some of greatest talents (Ardiles, Hoddle, Klinsmann, Ginola, Modric, Bale, Dembele, Kane, Son) - theres only one Hotspur. its a great team for someone new to football wanting to support a team but dont want (cheatcode) oil money then Spurs is perfect.

They're a great club (said as a Chelsea fan). Their impact on football today can't be understated - not only the first club to become a PLC, which was the first move nudging open the door for the commercializing of football, but Rowe & Nicholson were responsible for introducing the pass & move/positional play style of football (then called push & run) to England. In a tactical sense that's equivalent to them being what Mozart was to music. Even the whole Spursy thing is great, their fans might not appreciate it but it's character. Every club has fans that like to pretend they're special, you hear the phrase "only my club could do this" in a self deprecating tone all the time & usually it's emotional hyperbolic nonsense, Spurs have a whole word coined for it just for them lol... they're a club that many rivals like to say they hate, but deep down nobody would want to see them go away which I can't say about my club.

Not a Spurs fan, but I've got a lot of respect for Levy. He's someone who'll protect the club and it's assets (ahem Kane) even if it mean he gets slated for it. Again he's not perfect but he was at the helm when Tottenham reached the CL final and was competing for the PL and to this day has still managed to keep Spurs in Europe (even if it's only the Conference). Not to mention the new stadium, their academy is pretty decent as well and they're seen as a big six club now when they used to be a lower midtable club. Levy did all of that.

The progress we've made in recent years has been far greater than any other Premiership club, bar none! The sweet new stadium is another sign of the direction we've been moving in. All the shit we get thrown at us, it's fear!!!!!!!!! Yids are on the rise, some are too thick to see it, others are scared + won't ever give the credit we deserve. We'll win something before too long, + we won't sink once we do, like so many other clubs I could mention. It's been 14 years since any silverware, but in that time we've been winning, we've taken giant strides + put a load of other clubs to shame.

The people saying No are either misunderstanding or just hateful. Whether you support Spurs or not, they are a big club for two reasons: Firstly, the history of the club is a good one. 2 League titles is better than hundreds of clubs have managed. 8 FA Cups is good enough for a Top 5 ranking in that competition. 4 League Cups and 3 European competitions (not including Charity Shields, etc). Secondly, you have to look at current popularity worldwide. Spurs are right up there, after a slow start to the Premier League era. Especially in South Korea, the club is followed by over 10 million people. On top of that, Spurs currently has the best stadium in England and gets a good attendance number for home games. Love them or hate them, Tottenham Hotspur is a big club.

We lack a strong winning mentality.

That said, if it's a choice between a fun style of play and winning a trophy now and then, I'd go for the fun style!

I think Levy's vision is now taking place He wanted to build the stadium since 2009, right after winning our last trophy, he made sure spurs were good financially so that the could do this project. Might be one of the reasons for way he handled transfers. Now that the stadium is complete he started investing in the team. And that transition is very visible 17/18: Sold Walker Wimmer and Bentaleb and got Davi Moura and Aurier (Spent Big because he sold big) -19.7m Total 18/19: I still can't figure out if it was the stadium being almost complete or what but it haunts me bcz we might have had a UCL if the club spent that year +5.35m Total from Dembele 19/20:Spent 60m on Tanguy, 30m on stevie 27m on Sess and 11m on Clarke while selling the likes of Eriksen and Trippier -84m Total 20/21:Spent 32m on GLC 30m on Regui 16.8m on Doherty 16.6m on PEH and 12.1m on Rodon and only sold KWP -97.2m total 21/22: Gil 25m Emerson 25m Bentancur 19m Pape Sarr 16.9m + Kulusevski and Romero while only selling Foyth, Toby and Sissoko -141m total Now that spurs have amazing facilities,stadium etc. There is a lot of the budget going to the team and I believe Spurs will play a huge role in the coming years of English football

Stadium and facilities - We have the 2nd biggest stadium in England, the best (state of the art )training facilities, Trophies - Only 6 English clubs are above us in silverware count (admittedly we have none since 2008), Excitement - It's never a dull moment at Spurs. So in short yes Spurs are a very big club.

I think Spurs were more unlucky than anything else, they had a three year window from the 15/16 season to the 17/18 season to win the Premiership and it just didn’t work out, sandwiched in between the end of Chelsea’s return to dominance from 2015-2017 (the 15/16 season was essentially a massive anomaly and will never be repeated within our lifetimes) and the rise of Pep’s City and Klopp’s Liverpool (2017-probably 2023/4ish), it was just bad luck on their part more than anything they had much control over.

The problem was depth. Spurs had the best starting 11 in 2015-17 but didn't have anyone of the same quality outside of that 11. But they weren't even meant to be that good yet and were ahead of schedule so quality depth wasn't something spurs were capable of. They'd already gotten a bit lucky with certain low cost players like dembele, dele, wanyama, dier and son and hadn't built the new stadium yet to enable more money spent. Still think they should've won something and part of the problem was Poch's mentality and the fact he's not a born winner, but the biggest problem was depth.

As a Spurs fan it sucks seeing Spurs' recent history. We always end up big but slip towards the end. I don't appreciate all the comments thrashing the club, especially since it's gone far enough that I've met people who genuinely think we haven't won anything at all in our history, like literally nothing. But it's a part of football, and football can be brutal because of how competitive it is. But I think our history is still good and we did in fact win a decent amount of trophies. Probably a far-fetched comparison but the analogy is there; going through a drought for a long time doesn't invalidate your worth, I mean Liverpool have gone 30 years without winning a league title. But then again, playing in England isn't easy, there are at least 5 other big competing clubs (the top 6 in general). It is what it is though. I'm glad we have legends registered in our club's history like Bale, Keane, Defoe, Son, Kane and more. Always a Spurs fan no matter what. Hoping for next season with Conte.

This video makes me curious about what are your thoughts on the game in general when it comes to comparision across the timeline of say past 100 years or so. I mean do you thin the big money involed is making the game more fun to watch with cream talents on display. Or the more popular notion that the game has lost its emotional touch and become more predictable.
@FootballIconic3 жыл бұрын
To be fair, teams have been bankrolled, fixed matches and had unfair financial advantages since the 1800s. The concept of a team buying the league has been relevant for long before the modern era. The level it's at now is just an inevitable consequence of scale in my opinion. But money has never been the only thing that makes teams win. I think the "romance " of the game is still there. Less prevalent. But still there. We also have to come to terms with the fact that this is a business at the end of the day. Quality wise, I can't really speak on that. I started watching football in 2003, and in my eyes the quality has gotten better since then but can't speak on all of history.

I think this is a moot question to ask since the definition of “big club” only hits up in terms from a sporting side. They’re a team with shrewd P&L management with players outperforming for the past 5-6 seasons with top level bargain players. I also think that Levy is painfully aware of their team’s status as one below ones owned by sheiks, American sports conglomerates and oligarchs. This sort of makes it clear that their baseline objective is to secure steady projection of financial profitability and growth (via more sponsorship, etc) , this means staying at the top flight of football, not necessarily winning a title.

I feel like you skipped over the Martin Jol era entirely and went straight to Redknapp. Jol got Spurs 2x 5th place finishes consecutively which is what really kick started things despite a short bumpy period under Ramos afterwards. Also Spurs are incredibly cursed in that just as they started to come good they saw Chelsea 2005 and City 2008 bought out, effectively locking out half the CL spots (and just look at how many domestic trophies those 2 have won since). Despite that they still managed CL qualification but their story would look a lot different without those buyouts.

Looking back, Dembele and Kyle Walker departure and perishment of Danny Rose was the most painful. Arguably the two most important positions in modern day football: ball carrying central midfielder and wingbacks. With them gone, only Erikson was the one who carried the ball from back to front. Then he got overworked and left.

Mixed on Levy Obviously our rise from mid-table to a Top 6 club does deserve alot of credit and from the 2000s overall his transfer work has been great and the stadium itself deserves massive applause. The issue was pushing on towards that final step, in Redknapp's final season when we were challenging Man Utd and Man City we needed a striker and a CB and we were linked with Cahill and Suarez... we got Ryan Nelsen and Louis Saha. The summer we didn't sign anyone we were heavily linked with Jack Grealish where we tried low-balling them for £3 million + Josh Onomah and finally when we bulked up and met their asking price of £25 million they got new owners in and it was too late and the beginning of the end. Even in Poch's last season we failed to get Dybala or Bruno Fernandes over the line while with Mourinho we badly needed a CB and were linked with Skriniar but didn't pay up again. We were so close to the top but we've missed that window and it's going to take years to get back there, 6th sadly is as good as it's going to get for us this season
