    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    No, I don't think so, I suspect you might have the wrong end of that one. Here's the actual quote mate...it infuriated me when I read it that our DoF was saying this. HE should be instrumental in making sure our club is constantly doing this sort of thing where necessary. "Tottenham had just...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Do you think he was allowing his eyes to determine transfer decisions more than his data-centric work? I do not. Who has said Lange was 'making all the decisions' at the club? He was absolutely driving the football direction from his role. Of course his take on the role dovetailed with what his...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    My sense is that he is a snake who will survive this round. IMO he is in the last chance saloon. Honestly, he should be praying to DeZerbi every single day. I could, of course, be wrong. Time will tell eh?!

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Of course he does. That's who he was. At that moment he was still The Leader. He had no idea what was coming. The Lewis Family and Venkatesham did. First of all, and to be very clear because I am not going to be mischaractarized here, I am in no way a 'Levy diehard'. But ask yourself honestly...

    It has been widely rumoured (and corroborated!) that Mourinho told Levy he could do better with the same squad. It is probably the chief reason I hate him. He lied to someone he knew loved him, he engineered and undermined the right man, and he rehabbed himself back into the spotlight off that...

    Indeed, you make an excellent point. Would not even begin to argue with that mate.

    I have always thought that in order to properly evaluate Levy's era, it is imperative that it be split into two distinct areas. Non-football development of the club, and football development of the club. My single-biggest blast of criticism towards Levy came during the Poch era when he genuinely...

    Next seasons squad

    We'll see. I don't think VdV is going anywhere. Perhaps we'll see VdV at LB more this season too. Having three very good left-sided defenders is something we've needed forever. I doubt Udogie has more than 25 games a season in him. With Romero, I think we may end up accepting a modest profit...

    Lange came from a data-driven background. Post-Conte, the decision was made to go for this data-driven model. Paratici was in hot hot water, thus the gap appeared. Enter Lange and all the data. Old friends with Frank, similarly into data and at a club where that was a huge part of the DNA. Our...

    When this sort of Brentian detail gets out, I cannot help think someone there doesn't like him...because there's literally no reason whatsoever for anyone to know about that sort of nonsense LOL!

    Next seasons squad

    I think we'll end up loaning Vuskovic back for another season, and I genuinely think Cristian is gone. Unless Vuskovic is seen as Romero's replacement and Danso his back-up? Personally I think it'd have to be the other way around until Vuskovic gets used to the Prem...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    Agreed, a very good podcast and like you, I never thought I'd see the day re: Campbell. Bliar? He lost me in 2002. But even by his standards this is some punt to the darkness of soul-selling...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    He looks unhealthy and stressed. The sooner it is over for him the better!

    Next seasons squad

    I think Porro and Spence is one area where we are strong and have no need to do anything other than further 'DeZerbi' them.

    Next seasons squad

    We have to keep one or the other and upgrade.
