The Athletic FFC.

Welcome to the multi-award winning Spurs podcast from The Athletic. It is The View from the Lane. I'm Kate Mason.

Joining me today are Dan Kilpatrick and Jay Harris. And it has been only a week since the season ended. It feels as though things have been going on.

Lots and lots of statements that we went through in the last episode from Peter Charrington, the Lewis family and Ven I of Venkatesham.

And we are now going to have a public statement from Dan Kilpatrick who returns to the podcast since we've been hearing from all of these big dogs, a fitting man to comment on the way things have been going at Tottenham

that owners and executives think they can just get away with

with not being accountable to supporters who, you know, ultimately are kind of, in many cases,

kind of pay their wages and kind of keep them in a job.

So statements, you know, more communication is not a bad thing. Obviously, I would want them to do

proper media interviews, you know, with proper questions, not kind of interviews with club website

and bland statements. But I feel like it's a decent start, you know, putting something on,

putting words on paper. But, like, words are cheap, I think,

obviously, to be a bit cynical about this. And, and, you're worth saying, if you're a billionaire,

like the Lewis family are, then words are especially cheap. You know, I don't imagine that,

you know, when you're sort of doing a joint stag speech
