⚪️ A dream sold of fireworks, but only a guarantee of everything going up in flames. ❌ From supporter sentiment to supposed guarantees to tactics, Roberto De Zerbi is the wrong choice of Tottenham manager. www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

What are Tottenham thinking?! Self-destructive Roberto De Zerbi is the wrong man to fight relegation AND would be a betrayal to Spurs fans | Goal.com UK

Tottenham have made Roberto De Zerbi their top target to replace sacked head coach Igor Tudor, but Spurs should be wary of the pitfalls of such an appointment

Sean Walsh @seandzwalsh.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

⚪️ IF Tottenham survive, I think there's only one real course of action they could realistically take (remember who we're dealing with here) to raise the club's standards again. It has to be Mauricio Pochettino. And he should be allowed to do what he wants. www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

Only Mauricio Pochettino can save Tottenham! Spurs must hand complete control back to USMNT manager if they survive Premier League relegation | Goal.com UK

Tottenham must do everything to reappoint Mauricio Pochettino as manager and give him control of the club, but they need to survive Premier League relegation first.

Tottenham finished second-from-bottom in the WSL last season. Their top-flight record against Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City & Man Utd is two wins, five draws, 42 losses. Financially, they are nowhere near the ‘big four’. And yet, Spurs are right in the fight with all of them for a Champions League spot

Tottenham have emerged as the surprise package in this season's Women's Super League, and go into Sunday's game against Chelsea well in the race for Champions League qualification

For the first time, I'm starting to believe the 'Arsenal actually want it *too* much' line of thinking. The loss to Man Utd was, for me, squarely on Mikel Arteta. The players didn't cover themselves in glory, but they were in his image for the worse. www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

Daniel Levy from 2001 to 2017 was, for me unquestionably, one of the best chairmen in football. Ran Spurs exactly the way a football club of that size ought to have been. 2018 to present a different story and it’s, belatedly, the right time for change. Foundations are all there.
