As a spurs fan this just hurts 😢 thanks viz at least this was not just calling us crap

[@YIMBYKieran]

As a spurs fan I want to give my opinion on why spurs can’t win anything: 1. The mentality: The mentality in the club right now is that European football is success. Throughout the club- the board, owners, players and a large amount of fans. 2. The incompetence of the board: Daniel Levy has been our chairman for 23 years. In that time we have had more stadiums than trophies and one successful manager. 3. Recruitment: Our recruitment is awful. We spent 150 mill this summer and none of them have been successful so far 4. Fans A lot of the fans have the mentality that I spoke of earlier: top four is success. A lot of them also refuse to criticise the owners and the board because ‘there is worse’. I’d say the fault is mainly of the chairman who has managed to turn Tottenham, one of the most respected teams in England, into a laughing stock. As Keith Burkinshaw said: ‘there used to be a football club there, now it’s just a business’

[@Vizeh]

That quote at the end I understand, spurs do see Top 4 as success too much that they suffer in cups to achieve it

[@samking8947]

You’ve hit the nail on the head

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

There‘s nothing we can really do about the owners, and we’ve gone forward up until 2018 Then we’ve just been chasing “quick fix” for a trophy, by hiring these volatile and defensive managers. We don’t have any real style or philosophy as a result, and this massively hurts us in cup competitions I just think we need an ETH, De Zerbi, someone like that to make us fun to watch again, it’s been years man

[@Eibarwoman]

It has a semblance to the decline of Athletic Bilbao since the 1980s in the men's game and the mid-2010s for the women's game. The bad news of Tottenham is Levy is the chairman, the good news is it's not a pile of self-sabotaging fans who will keep a policy of Basque and Navarrese nationalism even if it means relegation controlling the board. Although, I wonder if Bilbao would have invested so much into facilities and coaching if it wasn't for the bizarre policy to trying to make a region the population of Uruguay produce multiple La Liga teams worth of top flight quality players.

I suspect that their was probably a clause in his contract of something to the effect of were he to win any form of silverware during his time as manager that he'd be entitled to a mega increase in his severance package should he be sacked thereafter or some other obstacle that winning silverware would bring that would make parting ways with him in the aftermath extremely awkward.

[@jjj8317]

I truly think that had they not kicked out José, they would have beaten City, won the cup, and probably began moving forward and become a serious team. I honestly think that the magament is what is killing the club, and I mean the managers perse, but rather Levy and company.

[@rodolfo9876a]

It's the board that has been the issue, even if Jose lost that final to City (doubt he would), he would've won something for Spurs in the next season. Levy wants to make money out of the club, if he truly cared about it, I think Spurs would've won something that wasn't the Audi Cup.

As a fan of Spurs we absolutely do. Every season we start off quite optimistic, we will win a few games and people think wow Spurs might actually do something and then midway through the season all hope of that is diminished. It's been a never ending cycle like this for years now. And it sucks for us as fans because we want to see the team win trophies like you would being a fan of every other team. We never asked to be like this. This season has turned a lot of fans away from watching the club play on tv or attending games. Each season we are fed the same bs by the board about how we are going in the right direction and we need patience. But the fans have been patient for 20 years and won nothing but a Carabao Cup.

[@Aer0dynam1cc]

As an Ajax-fan, that 2018-19 UCL season is just painful to watch, but three things that stick out: 1) Too much focus on finishing top 4 and chasing UCL success instead of (even for only one season) maybe completely prioritising domestic cups would alleviate a lot of pressure in terms of trophies, even if it's "just" a League Cup. You can start building a winning mentality with that; 2) Failure does seem to run in the club's DNA if you look at Man Utd this season winning a League Cup when they were in complete shambles before the start (and even at the start) of the season but with a few key signings (ETH, Casemiro, Martinez, Antony and even Weghorst) winning a trophy nonetheless, thus ending Utd's (much shorter) trophy drought; and 3) Who the f*ck thought it was a good idea to sack Jose before the final? If it's one thing that man has proven is that he knows how to win finals.

I’m a spurs fan and I know what happens, 1. Incompetent board Daniel Levy has been our chairman for 20+ years now, and he doesn’t want to spend money on good players, we missed out on Bruno, Dybala and Bastoni because Levy doesn’t want to spend money on good players, yet spends 60 million on a mid Richarlison, which I find absurd. 2. Less attraction to managers, In result of this lack of financial backing makes good managers look away, which means we can’t get a solid project down, 3. Lack of recruitment options, As a result of the non-solid project, players don’t want to come to the club, which means we can’t get a good team, That’s what I think has happened at Spurs.

[@ezraezra2928]

I was able to know about the reason why Tottenham Hotspurs didn't win anything than the 2008 Football League Cup. When I watched the videos from "What If? Football", I realized that the 2005-06 Premier League was a precursor for the future failure. Despite exiting two cup competitions too early at the hands of Grimsby Town and Leicester City (who were in EFL Championship at that time before the historic Premier League season exactly a decade later with Claudio Ranieri and Jamie Vardy), Spurs had a relatively consistent results in the Premier League, which saw them sitting in fourth place ahead of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, after both sides had an identical results, including a double 1-1 draw at two North London derbies. In the last game, Spurs only need to defeat West Ham United without relying on their big rivals' result at Highbury (the last one for Arsenal's old stadiums) against Wigan Athletic. However, before the last game of Premier League commenced, it is revealed that most of Spurs players were refused to play because they were hit by strange illness relating to the lasagne poisoning. Spurs wanted to postpone the game to allow recovery, but the Premier League rejected it because the last games must be played simultaneously and not higher than evening to prevent hooliganism. At the end, Spurs lost 1-2 and Arsenal won 4-2, with Spurs' Champions League qualification seemingly assured at the end of halftime because Arsenal were still 1-2 down. If Spurs managed to score the winning goal instead of West Ham at the end of the game, the outcome of future will be changed like this: 1.Spurs will play in the Champions League football and managed to reach the last 8, where they lost to eventual runners up Liverpool, after beating (in order of competitions stages) Dinamo Zagreb, CSKA Moscow, Hamburg (assuming that Spurs will follow Arsenal's path in real life). However, they still failed to qualify for the Champions League the next season after finishing fifth in 2006/07 Premier League. 2.Arsenal will play in UEFA Cup, given that they also lost 1-2 to Barcelona in the final, but somehow, they managed to end the European trophy drought after beating Espanyol in the final held at Glasgow. They also secured the fourth place of Premier League at the same season and immediate return to Champions League. 3.Spurs might win 3 Football League Cups during that period in 2007, 2008, and 2015. The 2009 one remains intact with a defeat. 4.Spurs will play in the Champions League for 2012/13 season because Chelsea failed to win the Champions League 2011/12 after losing to Bayern Munich, which means Europa League qualification for Chelsea (proved immaterial because Chelsea failed to defend the Champions League title by finishing third below Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk, but still won the Europa League the same year).

What a load of crap you wrote with absolutely zero valid points

[@shaun2463]

ENIC do not care about football or trophies. They care about business deals, NFL and F1 partnerships. Qualifying for CL is enough for them. The only way we'll win a trophy is if we get incredibly lucky, but we'll never win one legitimately when the team knows they're playing for owners who prioritise hosting Beyonce concerts.

[@robynroyale5823]

Enic but more specifically Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis are the only common denominator throughout all of this failure. #ENICOUT #LEVYOUT

[@King_vikrama]

Owners are not ready to give time to the coach to settle in and build synergy with the players. When your players are down on morale, you need time to up their morale and inject winning mentality. Sacking Mourinho and now Conte is beyond ridiculous.

[@Emanny360]

I've been a spurs fan since 14/15 when I got into football. It's so frustrating that there's a cycle repeating itself in this club and nothing is changing to fix that except changing managers every 18 months and wasting money on players we don't need. Regardless, Tottenham Hotspur is my club till I die - we will win silverware soon - COYS!

[@muglypunt968]

I feel like Tottenham could really do with a football director, like you say from a business point of view 10/10 but they have no soul, I don't normally like football directors but I think Tottenham would benefit massively from it, give him a figure and let him run the football. Keep the business men doing their thing but let someone actually create a football ethos for them. I don't know honestly they are the bottle job kings

[@lonk752]

Thank you for the wonderful video! Watched it while working out and gave me so much joy and strength to push on 😜🤣 COYG 🔴⚪

Who’s here after Ange said the foundation is weak 😂😂😂

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Only Spurs can have great players like Kane and Son but still wins nothing in the end. Let me emphasize it, Arsenal and Manchester United on their worst era still won silverware while Spurs on their best era won nothing. The legacy of failure is the Spurs way. It's the history of the Tottenham.

Accurate

seems only right to go back to this vid now ahaha spuds are in the mud!!

you should make a podcast channel i could play fifa and listen tbh

[@WritingGeekNL]

As a Feyenoord fan... I love this quite a lot.

[@mainelettuce9040]

I'm convinced Levy like causing spurs fans pain cuz why would he keep sacking managers on the verge of doing great things for the club? Poch sacked after a UCL Final, Jose sacked days before league Cup final and now Conte after he rightfully points out that no one at Spurs seems to want the very trophies the fans have been begging for, FOR DECADES. Jose called it FOOTBALL HERITAGE!

Great vid as always lad. Was going to say you made a mistake missing out Leicester in the intro. But they have 3 pieces of silverware compared to them 😂

I’m not sorry

Was just about to mention that 🤬

[@poodlechews]

I love my spurs but lets be real... We've been HELLAVA lucky to have had, 1st Bale to drag us up into the higher tier of the PL and 2nd the perfect timing of Kane to keep us up there, without those 2 guys we would of been a mid table team and this video would be called.

Don't have much to comment about, but I like your content and comments help with the KZbin algorithm 👍🏼

[@jmac0608]

Anyone here after Tottenham is top of the table in matchweek 8?

[@benmc2163]

I think you can look at it two ways. On one hand they are bigger than 95% of the club's in England so they should win things, but on the other they have had to grow financially during these times, and have maintained consistent levels for quite a while with plenty of seasons in the top four and champions league whilst having about the same budget as Everton had. They have not always had the revenues and then built the stadium, and once the debt for that is cleared revenue should enable further expansion. This does not excuse them for some of the cup losses though. The Chelsea ones hurt but it's the ones to smaller clubs that are inexcusable and just makes a mockery of the alleged 'desperation for a trophy'from those that are there. It also doesn't excuse a lack of financial backing for managers at key times.. Joe Lewis should have injected funds for players at least twice, but in truth they have often (not always) recruited poorly anyway and is why there is £100m of players on loan. Finally you can't underestimate the muscle of the bigger clubs in this day and age even if there are only a relative few. Having five financial powerhouses ahead makes it almost as hard for Spurs as anyone. In some ways they have done well to rub shoulders in these times with those clubs and disrupting the top four regularly. Everton have a history about the same but Spurs have outperformed them in the last 35 years. Same regarding the other closest in historical stature clubs like Villa and Newcastle. The final thing to note is Chelsea and City. Without either or both of these clubs doing what they have in the last 20 years, I am certain Spurs pick up a number of cups and would have been seen as one of the big four with Liverpool, Utd and the other lot but it is what it is.

[@gspvideo5543]

Really enjoyed this, well put together as usual

[@hugolouessard3914]

I wouldn't pretend to know what they should have done, but it is obvious that they could have carried momentum in the mid 2010's when they were on the rise, while all other big 6 teams were out of contention. Man United had just fallen from grace after a very long run of success and needed time to rebuild, Man City had ended its first era under UAE ownership and would have a 3 years spell with less success, Liverpool wasn't back on top yet, Arsenal was a bit sterile, and Chelsea was good but unreliable. At that point they should have built up on their rise to the top and won several titles. Pochettino was doing so great. This was Tottenham's occasion to rise as one of the very best european clubs, and a EPL title contender in 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and be in the fight with City and Liverpool once they were back on top. It's hard to explain I must say, because I think Pochettino did a great job and they could have done more. Maybe the stadium wasn't at the right time actually, a bit like for Arsenal it made them fall from grace.

Mentally the club just doesn’t care about winning. Levy bleeds the club

[@josephshepherd6968]

I haven't finished the video but it is a mystery to me. I am a Spurs fan and luckily am old enough to remember one FA cup and two League cups (just missed the last UEFA cup Glory). I don't know why we keep falling at the last hurdle. Reasonably, we should have at least one more FA cup in the 21st century and were better than Liverpool IMO in the Champions League final. At the same time it doesn't hugely matter as when we do win it is all the sweeter and we have a fabulous club, with a great history and many of the best players of all time/all English time have played for us. What does suck is when we stop playing front foot, progressive football and play horrible dross and still fail to win.
