I don't think they need to sack Munn or Lange. The issue is we want to win and compete at the highest level while spending significantly less than the other clubs we want to compete with. That basically requires everything to go perfectly. It's not realistic.

Yeah. Today was the clearest example to me of watching a bunch of guys that were just worn out. Late getting to balls, losing duels, etc. terrible spot to be in especially given the style we insist on playing.

Watching in the first half, I remember thinking Sarr looked like shit. Makes sense now.

We've never really invested heavily in the academy. We got extremely lucky to get a generational talent in Kane. I'd compare Dele to Bergvall. Both were guys that came up through other academies and played 1st team football before moving up a few levels.

While it started a touch earlier, the Kane era did coincide with the main period of stability as well as sustained success in the league. Kane's first EPL appearance was late in the  2013-14 season with his first real season being 2014-15.

Given the desire to minimize spending, I don't think it's all that much of a shock that Spurs best recent era coincided with our academy producing a generational talent and getting some hits with some young talent (Rose, Bale, Dele, etc).

But if this team is going to want to do this on the cheap, the Academy is going to need to produce at a higher rate.

Defector has a piece up on Spurs. Not as good as what most of the sites that follow Spurs churn out, but good. Luis follows the sport and gets it, but doesn't understands everything under the hood (Levy isn't mentioned once in the article).

I would agree that we're trying to run the club like we're Brighton or Bournemouth in terms of wages and transfer fees, but being surprised at the results when playing a season with European competition added.
