Chris mate. Take no notice of the people complaining about content. They have nothing better to do with their lives than to complain. They are probably the same people calling for Ange out or saying Sonny is washed up. If they don't want to watch all of the content, that's an easy one, don't. Ange is having a bad time and things don't look good. But put the top 10 managers in world football in charge of Spurs at present and they couldn't put a decent team out that wasn't knackered, which brings it nicely to the Sonny moaners. The guy needs half the amount of football he is playing if we want to see him perform as we know he can. I voted for your channel by the way so good luck.

[@johnmurray8428]

Keep going Chris, I appreciate your commitment to Tottenham and the sense you talk! I have given up on just trying to count the number of managers who have been in the Tottenham revolving door. Every change heralds a new direction, different philosophy and projected rebuilding. None of which have brought us more than one league cup! Stay the course with Ange!🇨🇦

[@yvesbissouma8210]

I’m not sure I agree on Richy, I think people forget last season so easily, when he’s given a run he can be incredible, most of his time here has been absolutely halted development because of injuries, last season he had 9 goals in 8 games, came back from another injury and came off the bench vs Liverpool fresh and trying to start a comeback, 1 goal and 1 assist at anfield is very very good, he is also the sole reason we came back against Sheffieldutd when he came on last year, again with a goal and assist to help us come back. I agree that the injuries have been really dissapointing but really can’t agree on the “wasteful with opportunities” he’s missed a few chances but so has Sonny. His biggest problem is injuries, I mean even this season, imo he looked great when he came back, dribbling and flair looked better than ever, he looked faster and he was contributing it was just sad that yet again he injured himself by assisting a team mate

[@stevenfriston10]

I Support Son always what a fantastic servant he's been and so lucky to have had all this time Thank you Sonny. Richarlison: I still have faith in him never really had a decent spell in the team either because of injury or second to Harry, unless we get a mega deal I would keep him.

Brilliant, Chris. Nice, professional, balanced content as always. Wish all were as you are right now.

[@vitodanu5846]

Let's say Son is finished, with all he has given to the club, i think he deserve to decide his own future whether to stay or leave. Some fans screaming to sell him is an embarrassment for the rest of us.

[@battRado]

Yes, Son is a Spurs legend. His contract is up in 18 months, so let's hope he decides to stay at least 1 year more after that. COYS!

[@Just_an_Azn_guy]

Even people wants to sell him, we also need to replace him. Its harder to do in winter than summer transfer.

[@jamesNKYI3806]

Sonny's contract expires in 6 months not 18. Levy is refusing to trigger the 12 month extension. Koreans are tough people, Levy really miscalculated Sonny's toughness and resolve. Every Korean fans are urging Sonny to leave Tottenham because of Levy's disrespect. Sonny will leave in June and I really want to see what happens to Tottenham without Sonny. Tottenham's idiot fans F around and find out.

[@hyunkyupark4236]

I don't understand why this team and even the fans are mocking him like this way. It reminds me of Lloris, Poor Loris, and Son. It's stupid to show loyalty for this team.

[@battRado]

@@hyunkyupark4236 I think it is related to the armband. People might have bigger expectations (sometimes unrealistic) for their captain.

[@simonwood5216]

Not a spurs fan just an interested neutral. I believe the evidence in front of my eyes - 20 years of Levy footy failure and 3 top managers before Ange all sacked (15 managers in 20 yrs and deluded fans pushing for No.16!) - it's not exactly delusion on my part to believe Levy doesn't invest enough in players to be a serious top 6 club, more a factual statement. I wish spurs well but believe Ange's biggest error and career choice was going to spurs - a place where every manager fails coz that's what Levy is all about - looks like just another massive ego - tho successful businessman - with zero interest in football. Lets see if he proves me wrong and gets in the 4 top quality signings desperately needed this window... not holding my breath ... shame really, every real footy fan and most neutrals would wish Ange and his brilliant style of footy to succeed, but spurs is a toxic black hole to any such positive agenda, 20 yrs of watching tells me so.

@@johnmurray8428 ha ha, fair enough. i honestly think Angeball will work but obviously EPL level requires a squad of 15-16 top players (my estimate is that there are currently only about 8 or 9, and half of em are injured!) . Ange could make it work at City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manu, Livertpool coz they have the squads and budget. I honestly dont think spurs under Levy will invest enough - and in a timely manner more to the point - for Ange to have a serious chance - that there is already a big minority of spurs fans Ange out already blows my mind - but shows me this project is likely to fail before it even has had a chance.

[@TheRealist2024]

[@walidel-saleh6040]

​@@TheRealist2024That's not the point, nor in dispute. Ange has never hidden the fact that rebuilding the team is a multi-window affair. It's a statement he has made, in public (and almost certainly, this is understood by Levy, Munn and Lange.) It's never been denied that these are early days for the current project. Ange needs backing because the alternative is to replace him with someone else, who will need backing, too!

Great update, Chris. Ignore the haters, they have nothing better to do.

Hello there Chris! I find this format to be superior to most others I've seen! Keeping things factual and brief, like the 60s news but this time as a collection, to then bring your opinion on things afterwards. This makes the video flow a lot better and since you have a clear line between the reports and your opinions, the truth won't be compromised! This is something that modern journalists fail to appreciate as they easily get muddled with sensationalising, manipulation and politicking etc. It is almost a lost art.. telling facts and opinions separately. Great job keeping it alive mate!

[@sphong0610]

Does anyone know what happens with Son's contract? I know Son is a FA now but Spurs got that 1 year extension don't we? So which takes precedence? If Son gets an offer from another club is he gone? Can Tottenham just stamp any offers out with the contract extension after any offer hoping for a sign and trade deal or is it chronological where which ever happens first becomes the priority? This is a bloody confusing mess that should have been sorted out before this season started.

[@emperor_von_doughnuts339]

The way i understand it, as of right now we can trigger the extension clause but we havent done so, most likely because son is inevitably falling off. And since his contract is probably the largest at the club, the cheapskate in the boardroom doesnt want to extend the contract but instead agree a deal to a newer, more watered-down one.

[@sphong0610]

@@emperor_von_doughnuts339 Right, but what happens if another club tries to get him as a free? Atm he is technically a free agent. Honestly his wages aren't too high considering his value as a leader + the Asian market, especially for any top team that might want him as a super sub(perks of being a Tottenham player), so I do think at least a few teams would be interested. Can Spurs still trigger the extension after Son receives offers?

The world can't have a linear viewpoint, right? Expecting everyone to share the same viewpoint as you is absurd. I don't like Ange's managing style because we perform poorly under him, and we're in a relegation fight. He doesn't have a plan B or C, and tactics are essential as they win you cups. I also dislike absolute positivity, and this channel consistently promotes it regardless of our performances. Chris and his co-host would find something positive even in a crushing defeat against Liverpool. That said, we don't moan like you, as we understand that people have different perspectives, and I value having both of them.

Can't believe how quickly Spurs fans turn on the manager. Even this podcast saying, if Ange is still manager. How do you expect any future manager or player to agree to join the club when you turn on them so quick. The negativity around Ange has to have a big impact on his ability to get new players to sign for Tottenham. Why would you sign up to play for Tottenham and Ange when half the fans want Ange out. For some reason Spurs fans expect instant success with the current squad, frugal spending over the last few windows and 10 injuries?

ANGE OUT; LEVY OUT - Trophies Won Before Daniel Levy (up to February 2001) Before Levy's tenure, Tottenham Hotspur had a rich history of success, accumulating numerous major trophies: League Titles: 2 1950-51 1960-61 FA Cups: 8 1900-01 1920-21 1960-61 1961-62 1966-67 1980-81 1981-82 1990-91 League Cups: 4 1970-71 1972-73 1998-99 (notable) The last one before Levy was in 1999. European Trophies: UEFA Cup: 2 (1971-72, 1983-84) European Cup Winners' Cup: 1 (1962-63) In total, Spurs won 16 major trophies before Levy took charge. Trophies Won After Daniel Levy Became Chairman (from February 2001 onward) Since Daniel Levy became chairman, Tottenham's trophy cabinet has seen a significant drought, with only one major trophy won: League Cup: 2007-08: This victory came under manager Juande Ramos, marking the only major trophy won during Levy's tenure. Despite several near misses, including reaching the Champions League final in 2019 and the League Cup final in 2021, Spurs have not added any further silverware since the League Cup victory in 2008. This period is marked by a notable lack of success compared to previous decades, with only one major trophy in over two decades under Levy's leadership1479. In summary: Before Levy: 16 major trophies After Levy: 1 major trophy (2008 League Cup)
