Summary

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We try to work out what’s actually going wrong at Spurs, and whether sacking Thomas Frank even fixes anything. There’s a lot of anger about the football, but we keep coming back to the bigger issue: the club looks totally unaligned, with no clear sporting lead, no agreed identity, and recruitment that feels reactive rather than planned. We get into the “Tottenham DNA” idea, why managers take all the heat when they don’t control half the decisions, and why getting the right director of football matters more than another reset in the dugout. Along the way we hit the injuries, the grim reality of being down to the bare bones in midfield, the kit drop chaos, and the familiar Spurs fan experience of trying to explain all this to your kids without traumatising them too much. Plus a few listener questions and a bit of therapy-by-moan to see us through. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
