Spurs in full cry here.

Lonella! Welcome, welcome listeners to the X-R-H. This is part two of our bumper catch-up episode. So we've just been speaking about coronavirus in part one and got all sad.

0:39.9

And now we're going to talk about where it all went wrong for Potachino's Tottenham and Jose

0:44.7

Marino's Tottenham. So there was a really, I thought, interesting article from Daniel's story for

0:49.4

I News on this. There was one particular paragraph which I very much enjoy, which I'll read out now.

0:55.5

At the last count, they have the sixth highest revenue in the Premier League and the seventh
