I don’t understand why those people support spurs at all. What is Spurs identity? Who are Spurs representing? Man United represents the worker class of Manchester, Chelsea represents South London, Arsenal represent the royal armoury and North London (yes I said it, anyone who said otherwise should explain why most North Londoners support Arsenal)
Representing Tottenham? What did they give to the Tottenham community? Aside from donations etc, all they did was ruining a metalwork business for their stadium.
Man City, a club people often called soulless, built the surrounding community. Spurs, in all their boasting about their history, already doesn’t have an identity way back from Sugar’s era up until now. People will argue that ENIC turns a mid-table team into a top six team. But that is Pochettino’s work, it’s his magic.
Those “top club identity” that spurs fans are really proud of is Pochettino’s and will always be his legacy, not spurs’. Spurs were very lucky to have him, otherwise, they won’t be a top 6 club in the first place and Jose wouldn’t want to come.
So my question still remains, What is Spur’s identity? Who do spurs represent? Until those questions are answered, I will always wonder why people are so loyal to Spurs. Because right now, all I see there is just some scheme to get money from sponsors from a club that is not bigger and greater than Blackburn Rover’s and Newcastle United.
Guest post, mon amis…
When I started supporting Spurs 50 years ago it was the football we played that made me want to watch and support them. Quickly followed by the fact that Jimmy Grieves then Steve Perryman then Glen Hoddle pulled on our shirt. Who’d not want to watch them give everything for that shirt…
Now …. who knows, who cares..
And that will cost 3.5 billions it seems even that option is impossible cheers.
HH you can’t put in the same sentence Tottenham and richest club in the world Newcastle United(the new title contenders) i disagree that last part of the post lol the rest you are on the spot cheers.
The problem is that the identity is that of a property and land development company and not a football club and most certainly nowhere near an elite football club which is what the season ticket prices are based on. It begins and ends at the top and until that changes at THFC nothing changes. Do what H says, withdraw your spending so that the revenues start to fall away before ENIC and Levy can build alternative revenues from all the non-football-related activities making the football business even more of an irrelevance than it already is. New owners are the only way forward.
