<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
<br />
In Part 8 of the Spurs Need To Go Mental series last night, I looked at
Succession Planning, Fan Bonding, Performance Responsibility, Reading
The Game and the attention to detail needed for a team to be a success. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I thought it worth revisiting in light of the improvements Ange Postecoglou has made and our improvement in the transfer market.<br />
<br />
In Part 9 of the Spurs Need To Go Mental series, I'm going to take a look at Sports Psychology and what a psychologist would look at in a player to determine his mental strengths and weaknesses. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'll provide you with a 43-point player checklist and the 1,075 improvements Spurs could make.<br />
<br />
</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img alt="The 43 point player checklist" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkGs0Y326YFti9HpZcG0vzbDTL6TUMgWNtEYD3YXFlAxpZffFEIL249yQ1pKBrMIwFcMheysMZcdxYYiQZwlBlm9hEoI5508V3Q9A19hMLi3gxh3qZccn8gpJUFh63-ufLCO3n/s1600/The+43+point+player+checklist.jpg" title="The 43 point player checklist" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Mental Game</span></h2></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">A psychologist will analyse a player, not just on the pitch and record everything in as much detail as he can to present to the player. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is vitally important that the psychologist has evidence to back up what he then tells the player because players do not remember what they were doing in a game.<br />
<br />
You can't just tell someone you stand for 10 minutes a game with your hands on your hips for instance, they won't know and unless they believe in you totally, they may not even believe you.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Their engagement in the process is important for improvement. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Winning mentalities will take it on board, normal mentalities won't so it can be used as a tool to improve a player mentally.<br />
<br />
When you present evidence you are saying "I have done my homework, I have studied you intently in the minutest detail and working together we can make you a better player." </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now you have a subject with a responsive mind and being open-minded with a sports psychologist is of the utmost importance. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">A closed mind is not going to take anything new on board, a closed mind is the mind of someone unable to fulfill their full potential.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The same applies to yourself.<br />
<br />
I mentioned in Part 6 - £20,000 would have avoided the Lamela fiasco, that we spent £73 million on three players and had very little return in my view because we hadn't done enough for the player and because they haven't done enough for themselves.<br />
<br />
A Sports Psychologist would have told us what we are buying, a Sports Psychologist would have told us what we needed to do for them off the field, as it is we have wasted a year, wasted an opportunity and set the club back another couple of years.<br />
<br />
Here is an example checklist of the things a Sports Psychologist would take note of in any player they are working with.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I will point out, this is the very list a well-known Sports Psychologist, who has worked with Premier League players, uses.<br />
<br />
</span><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Sports Psychologist Checklist </b></span></h3><span style="font-family: verdana;">
<br />
1. What is he doing in the tunnel pre-game?<br />
2. How does he take to the pitch?<br />
3. What does he do when taking to the pitch?<br />
4. How does he shake hands with the opposition?<br />
5. What does he do pre-game?<br />
6. What does the player do immediately before the whistle goes?<br />
7. What does he do straight after the whistle is blown?<br />

16. What commitment, aggression and determination does he show when chasing a back pass to the keeper?<br />
17. How does he chase the back pass?<br />
18. What is the players' foot position prior to reacting and sprinting? (For those of you wondering about foot position, it helps to show if the player is mentally ready, if he is reading the game and will therefore directly affect his ability to perform the task)<br />
19. The players' ability to react and sprint?<br />
20. What the player does directly after he has just sprinted?<br />
21. What does he do at a corner?<br />

26. How does he react to a foul?<br />
27. How does he react after he has made a mistake?<br />
28. What does he do after making a mistake?<br />
29. What does he do when he is under-performing? (Does he and how does he change his game)<br />
30. How does he lead and motivate his teammates?<br />
31. How does he try to raise the crowd?<br />
32. When does he try to raise the crowd?<br />
33. What does he do in the last 5 minutes of the first half?<br />
34. What does he do in the last 5 minutes of the second half?<br />
35. How does he react when the team is losing by 1 goal, by 2 goals etc?<br />
36. What does he do when the team is losing by 1 goal, by 2 goals etc?<br />
37. What is his reaction to being substituted?<br />
38. What he does as he leaves the pitch?<br />
39. If a substitute how does he warm-up?<br />
40. What does he do when he warms up?<br />
41. How does he prepare himself before he goes on?<br />
42. What does the player do when he is standing with the fourth official waiting to come on?<br />
43. What does he do at the end of the game?<br />
<br /></span><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Building a Picture</span></h3></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Sports Psychologist will also talk with the player and ask him about his mental state, what was he thinking at certain points during the game for instance. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">This helps to build a picture of how he is reading the game. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">It also helps you find out about his focus and whether he can concentrate on everything happening around him for the complete game.<br />
<br />
Obviously, to do this you need honesty from the player, you need the player to accept that the Sports Psychologist is there to improve his game and buy into that. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">An open receptive mind as opposed to a closed mind.<br /><br /></span><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Transfer Targets</span></h3></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are assessing a transfer target then you have to garner what you can from the game, unless you can get to have an informal chat with the player. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Using those 43 points, you'll start to get a mental picture, is there a lot to work on or does he already show a winning mentality?<br />
<br />
These checking points being used with our own players will enable them to improve all 43 aspects.<br />
<br />
In Part 8 of the Spurs Need To Go Mental Series, I talked about Humphrey Walters who made 1,000 suggestions to improve England off the field towards the 2003 Rugby World Cup and have highlighted the Kaizen approach for continual improvement throughout.<br />
<br />
<b>The 1,075 Improvements Spurs Could Make </b><br />
<br />
There are 25 players in a squad which at 43 improvements (checklist) per player is 1,075 team improvements. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Do you think we would be a better team with 1,075 improvements, which all stem from a players' mental approach?<br />
<br />
A player seeing the improvement in himself and in his teammates will continue to work to improve his game and continually have to work because his teammates would be improving. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you get that environment, are we going to have a better club, a more successful club? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">You bet we are, it would be a place players want to be, a club players want to join.<br />
<br />
Footballers are not super beings. They are just like you and me, they just get paid a lot more. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">They still have the same mental make-up. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">They are not born with a different brain to us.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">They have to be taught. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Are we teaching them any mental skills, because I don't see it on the pitch from any of them?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Formula for Success </span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I would suggest there have been improvements in our mental skills since 2014, when this was originally written, particularly since Postecoglou arrived with his winning mentality and Think and Grow Rich (the formula for success) outlook.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">They were all just doing what their limiting minds told them they could do and in a lot of cases, right now, they are not even doing that.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The difference of the 'play for myself' mentality that ended Conte's reign and the positivity of Postecoglou's beginnings is stark.<br />
<br />
Nobody chooses what you have in your mind.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Nobody else chooses what they have in theirs.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">They decide for themselves, just as you decide for yourself what's in your mind. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Plugging them into a mental program can only help make them better players and if, as I suggest, we become world leaders in assessing transfer targets, then we need to become world leaders in mentally developing players or we are letting them and ourselves down.<br />
<br />
Everybody undergoes stress.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If a footballer's girlfriend is giving them grief, if a parent is ill, if they have an argument, if their child is ill, whatever it is, it can cause them to have an off day, but if they have a trained mind, it will not affect them much at all, which again is good for the team and good for performances. <br />
<br />
To all you computer geeks out there, all you are effectively doing with mental improvement is replacing one bit of software in your head for an upgraded piece of software.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now, who turns down upgrades, especially if they are easy to implement and you can do this in 30 minutes a day.<br />
<br />
Look at Liverpool this season (2014), they have employed a Sports Psychologist and Liverpool have gone out and won most games by half-time. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">They eventually finished second.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Every single game for the Liverpool players was a big game, not just the Manchester United or Everton games. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The result, they kept producing the goods all season, there was little inconsistency.<br />
<br />
That has been the key to their success, their mental approach.<br />
<br />
Spurs need to be the best they can be, to do that we can't just do what we have been doing because we will just get the same results.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">A post that stands the test of time.<br />

<br />
</span><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Improve Mentality</span></h3><span style="font-family: verdana;">
I have mentioned previously in this series the need for Spurs to become world leaders in the recruitment of players. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The players you buy determine your success, yes you'll have homegrown you will have worked on, but it's the players you buy that have got to fit, that make the difference.<br />
<br />
Spurs spend millions on players. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our success on the field is determined by it so shouldn't we be doing everything possible to ensure we have covered every angle before we spend tens of millions?<br />
<br />
What we have been doing hassn't been good enough, it was haphazard guesswork. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Daniel Levy needed to take the bull by the horns and set up a transfer team to deal with this that comprises experts in their field. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">To be fair, we have now improved our assessment before recruitment, that's demonstrated by the success of our recent transfers, a stark contrast to 2014.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's no good saying a player looks like he has the right attitude or asking someone else, Spurs must be using experts to do that analysis for ourselves.<br />
<br />We still need to turn this into a finely tuned science that transcends existing staff </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">and start plucking the winners with the talent from wherever they may be, instead of plucking talent and hoping they are winners. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Not all footballers are winners.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Written in 2014, it seems I was spot on.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">
<br />
Spurs could significantly improve if they concentrated and perfected this rather important area.<br />
<br />
In Part 10 of the Spurs Need To Go Mental Series, I will take a look at Youth Development and how we can pick the best talent.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Something else it seems we are now doing!<br />

He'll be 33 ahead of the 2025/26 season giving us a year to bed in a replacement..</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Destiny Udogie</b> has given an interview</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> to SportWeek commenting on his new role with Ange Postecoglou: </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"It's very satisfying. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">It depends on the motivation one puts into it every day, you just have to stay focused and always give your best. Among the things I learned in Italy and which are helping me here are definitely tactics, the way to defend.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"I don't know if it's the perfect role for me. It's all new, I'm not used to playing midfielder or number 10, but I often find myself there and I'm trying to settle in and help the team.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">But I think the coach's style helped me a lot.

Fans often judge based on immediate results and demand quick success.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Process focused vs outcome focused</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Postecoglou focuses on processes like playing style, player development, etc. Fans care primarily about outcomes like wins, trophies, ever-changing league position.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patience vs impatience</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Postecoglou preaches patience as he institutes changes in the squad and style of play. Fans can be impatient for success and changes if results don't come quickly.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Holistic thinking vs knee-jerk reactions</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Postecoglou makes decisions based on his overall vision and principles. Fans tend to have knee-jerk reactions to individual results and demand changes.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Continuity vs chopping and changing</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Postecoglou believes in maintaining continuity in his squad and style over time. Fans often want wholesale changes if success doesn't come quickly.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Long-term development vs short-term success</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Postecoglou focuses on developing players over time into his style of play. Fans want players who can deliver immediate success.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Process over personnel</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Postecoglou will stick to his style of play regardless of personnel changes.

So, this is different from what I had to do at Celtic or Yahama or in Australia, but t</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">he principles of it are the same."</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some of these key characteristics and principles that Postecoglou is referring to, but doesn't mention, which are common among successful teams include:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Team-First Ethos</b>: Emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the team over individual achievements. <br /><br />If a player is coming to you for the money, is that the right motivation to achieve a team-first ethos?<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Belief in a Common Goal</b>: Getting individuals with diverse personalities and characters to believe in and work towards a shared objective. <br /><br />Utterly essential, if someone has not 100% bought into what you are doing, replace them or they'll drag everyone and the teams' performance down. Last season to this season proves that, a gulf in performance.<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Adaptability</b>: Acknowledging that the methods to achieve success may vary, and being flexible in adapting to different environments and challenges.<br /><br />At Tottenham, the players have had to adapt to a new coach, a new character leading them, new training methods, a new playing system, a new mentality of play, adjust to a team-ethos approach, new challenges brought about by suspensions and injuries.<br /><br />Like any Top 4 club Spurs face a myriad of challenges, for some players cultural change, for others learning to deal with setbacks. <br /><br />A holistic approach has to be taken so there are a lot of off-field elements that various members of staff have to perform to get the optimum out of a player, on a consistent basis.<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Environmental Influence</b>: Recognizing the impact of the training and working environment on individual and team performance.<br /><br />State-of-the-art facilities can contribute to players' physical and mental well-being. Would you rather work in plush offices or a run down office starting to fall to pieces? <br /><br />Mentally it puts you in a different place. It's no different for a professional footballer.<br /><br />Creating a positive and motivating atmosphere within the training ground is key. This involves fostering a culture of camaraderie and a shared commitment to the team's goals. A positive environment can have a direct impact on morale and team cohesion.<br /><br />Why oh why then do some of our fans try to undermine that while claiming to support the club?<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Behavioural Change</b>: Understanding the significance of changing behaviours within the team to foster a winning culture.<br /><br />Leadership development, team cohesion, work ethic, adaptability and resilience, accountability, positive communication, sportsmanship, adoption of a winning mindset, continuous improvement.<br /><br />All are elements in shaping the attitudes, actions and values of the players, which contributes to the success of a team.<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Consistency</b>: Identifying consistent elements or characteristics that successful teams possess, aside from just the quality of players.<br /><br />Establishing a consistent and identifiable playing style is crucial to achiev consistency, so why do journalists continually ask if Postecoglou will change his style for a particular game?<br /><br />Answer, they are professional journalists, not coaches, not football experts, not experts in the art of success, they don't know what it takes.<br /><br />Consistency is the foundation of success. This is true off the field too with consistency of business strategy that aligns with the long-term vision of the club.<br /><br />It should permeate the entire club, not just the players.<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Leadership</b>: Implicitly referring to the role of leadership in shaping the team culture and achieving success.<br /><br />A manager who fosters a positive and winning culture sets the tone for the entire squad. You can see this in Postecoglou and the result is everyone climbing onboard following the Pied Piper.<br /><br />A leader has to have a long-term vision, both Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou have that. In one it's appreciated, in the other it's not.<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Champion Mindset</b>: Cultivating a mindset that goes beyond the surface simplicity and understands the deeper, sometimes more challenging aspects of team success.<br /><br />First, there should be ambitious long-term goals, resilience as setbacks are part of a journey, continuous improvement like that shown by Harry Kane or Heung-min Son, mental toughness to perform under pressure, a team-first mentality, attention to detail, adaptability to different situations, having a learning mindset, being united and holding a legacy vision.<br /><br />That is brushing the surface but I'll leave you to think how they apply today and which ones you can see in the manager and his players.</span></li></ol><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Right, we'll sign off for today.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Regards</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">THBN</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading</span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-shining-knight-in-lilywhite-armour.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Shining Knight in Lilywhite Armour</a></b></span></li><li style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/fans-divided-toxic-cycle-of-fighting.html" target="_blank">Fans Divided: Toxic Cycle of Fighting For Failure</a></span></li><li style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/hollywood-calls-for-tottenham.html" target="_blank">Hollywood calls for Tottenham</a></span></li><li style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-resurgence-of-spurs-defying.html" target="_blank">The Resurgence of Spurs: Defying Expectations and Unmasking Hidden Talents</a></span></li></ul></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>COYS</b></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN) researched and informed articles from Spurs #1 blog.

Smaller clubs often receive a comparatively smaller portion.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Premier League operates differently.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A significant portion of the TV revenue is distributed collectively among all 20 clubs, and the distribution is not solely based on a club's on-field performance or popularity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The top club only gets 1.6 times the bottom club.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In Europe, the top clubs get s far greater share.</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In Spain, the disparity is 3.6 times</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In Germany, the disparity is 3.3 times</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In Italy, the disparity is 2.3 times</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In France, the disparity is 2.3 times</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Source: <a href="https://www.danielgeey.com/done-deal-blog/football-broadcasting-deals-across-the-top-5-european-leagues" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Daniel Geey and Alex Harvey</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This, apparently, according to Everton fans, is creating a cartel, Big 6 vs the rest, unfair they cry!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">That may be the case across Europe, but not in the Premier League, no in the Premier League what you can generate in income determines your success.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">They are just too lazy to build a business, they have not been as forward-thinking as Daniel Levy has been.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Daniel Levy's Vision for Sustainable Success</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">At the helm of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy has carved a reputation for his foresight and an unwavering commitment to steering the club toward sustainable success. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This has divided the fanbase, those who understand it and those with blinkered vision.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">His strategic approach to running the club extends beyond the short-term, focusing on building a foundation that withstands the evolving landscape of football economics.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">That, as we are seeing now, was essential, if misunderstood by many.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It shows the ambition some say he lacks.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It is only when something is laid bare that some can understand it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">One notable instance of Levy's foresight is his early acknowledgment of the financial challenges within the football industry. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Long before sustainability rules became a central theme, Levy was vocal about the unsustainable financial trajectory that many clubs were embarking on. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To the Spurs fans, Levy</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> publicly cautioned against the pitfalls of extravagant spending and advocated for a more measured, business-minded approach.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And Daniel Levy was spot on and totally correct in not trying to play that game, but running the club responsibly instead.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Live within your means, not outside them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Levy's commitment to financial responsibility is exemplified in Tottenham's refusal to succumb to the pressures of over-inflated transfer markets. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While other clubs engaged in frenzied spending, Levy maintained a disciplined stance, carefully evaluating each transfer move to ensure it aligns with the club's long-term goals. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This measured approach, although sometimes met with impatience by some Spurs fans, has proved vital in safeguarding Tottenham's financial health, while many around and across Europe are struggling.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Moreover, Levy has overseen the construction of The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a project that extends beyond being a mere football ground. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It stands as a testament to Levy's vision for the club as a sustainable business entity in the manner both UEFA and the EPL want.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And remember, football is having to go down this path or have Government intervention, which will devastate clubs quite frankly.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You are sustainable or you go out of business. Being a plaything is not sustainable.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The state-of-the-art stadium not only enhances the fan experience but also serves as an important revenue-generating hub through various events and facilities.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A business should not rely on one revenue stream because if it dries up...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Diversification of income streams helps protect a business, anyone against that has got their head in the clouds...or the sand.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Daniel Levy has also been a proponent of nurturing homegrown talent. Tottenham's emphasis on developing young players through their academy reflects Levy's commitment to sustainability not only in terms of finances but also in fostering a self-sufficient football ecosystem.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Clubs across Europe are now actively seeking youth because improve them and they produce profit, when you sell them, which clubs have to do to sustain themselves.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">As the football landscape continues to evolve with regulatory changes and financial constraints, Daniel Levy's leadership at Tottenham Hotspur remains a beacon of strategic acumen. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">His decisions and vision go beyond the immediate triumphs, embodying a commitment to ensuring that Tottenham Hotspur is not just a football club thriving for today but a sustainable force poised for success in the long run.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A big up to him, a big up to THBN and a big up to everyone else who could see that.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">TV Revenue Distribution Across Europe</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">TV money keeps clubs afloat, across Europe, but even more so in the Premier League.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">From the same article as above, an annual average figure a club in Europe gets:</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Premier League £123m</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">La Liga £56m</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Serie A £52m</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Bundesliga £52m</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Ligue 1 £27m</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The figures will have changed since the article was written, but you get the point and it demonstrates why clubs across Europe can't buy our 'deadwood'.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Imagine how much TV revenue Everton would lose if a Super League was created because a large chunk of that TV money would go there instead.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Toffees wouldn't be able to afford player wages and they would be more like a struggling club in Italy, Spain, Germany or France.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then they would complain.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Your neighbour spends more than you because he earns more than you.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Stop crying about it and figure out how you can earn more.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Think about it, the hatred-hearted have basically been shouting for Tottenham to be in Everton's position financially!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The intelligent fan has understood the bigger picture and supported working towards a sustainable future.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Big up to us.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/fans-divided-toxic-cycle-of-fighting.html" target="_blank">Fans Divided: Toxic Cycle of Fighting For Failure</a></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/hollywood-calls-for-tottenham.html" target="_blank">Hollywood calls for Tottenham</a></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-resurgence-of-spurs-defying.html" target="_blank">The Resurgence of Spurs: Defying Expectations and Unmasking Hidden Talents</a></span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Regards</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>THBN</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>COYS</b></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN) researched and informed articles from Spurs #1 blog.

The potential fee (</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">something over £10 million) </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">has been reduced but we'll ask for bonus fees based on performance and a sell-on clause.</span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Antonio Nusa</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Plenty of clubs around Europe are interested in 18-year-old (19 in April) Club Brugge winger Antonio Nusa and Tottenham's hand has rather been forced.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is considered to be one of the most exciting talents in European football in his age bracket.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The plan was to sign him in the summer but with other clubs actively pursuing him now, Spurs have joined the fray, brought forward plans and are trying to secure his signature this transfer window.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal gives you an idea of the calibre pf teams vying for his signature. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">West Ham United are in for him too, but our brand of football and the chances he is likely to get looking forward, could be the deciding factor.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">All the due diligence has been done on him and he'll cost over £21.48 million (€25m).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If we secure his signature, he'll be loaned straight back to them for the remainder of the season, which gives him game time and keeps the Belgian club happy, as they know he'll be gone in the summer anyway.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Ideally, we would want him in our squad now, but we won't lose the deal over refusing to loan him back. In that respect, we'll do what it takes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Postecoglou has spoken to Nusa to put his vision for the club and for Nusa himself before him. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You have heard me talk about vision and the fact Spurs should do vision training, which is also mental training, well, Nusa has vision. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He constantly looks around him so he knows where everyone is before he gets the ball and where the opposition are.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is seen as the successor to Heung-min Son, who might be moved on sooner than people think, if a long-term successor settles in and produces the goods next season.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">What you want to know is how it's going, don't you?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The short answer is very well. Nusa and his family like what they have seen and heard so he is keen to join the 'club project', music to Pochettino's ears.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The talks with Club Brugge have progressed well and every effort is being made to get this over the line as soon as possible.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Fingers crossed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>COYS</b></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN) researched and informed articles from Spurs #1 blog.

The Premier League pay higher wages than clubs in Italy, Germany, France and Italy apart from a few players.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is why Mauricio Pochettino told fans that the club couldn't afford to make a mistake over a £60m signing, they are a noose around the clubs neck, they prevent the club buying other players.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Richarlison</span></h2><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">Bryan Gil doesn't want a transfer, he wants to stay but he is only a squad player as far as Postecoglou is concerned so his game time when everyone is fit would be limited.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is no problem in training, has the right attitude and fits in the group,l but doesn't have a long-term future at Spurs.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Alfie Devine</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Alfie Devine is going on loan to Plymouth for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Jonathan Rowe</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tottenham are currently working on a deal to bring 20-year-old (21 in April) Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe to Hotspur Way.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Rowe has been playing on the right for the Championship club this season (12 games) with 9 games on the left.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">His goalscoring exploits have come from the right (8 goals) with only 2 from the left and 1 as an attacking midfielder.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In 25 games, the England U-21 international (2 caps, 1 goal) has scored 11 goals and had 2 assists, one assist when on the right and one assist when on the left.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Rowe has scored with his left foot (he is left-footed), his right foot, his head (3), inside the area and from outside the area.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tottenham are on good terms with his agents, the Unique Sports Group - who also represent Ryan Sessegnon, Brandon Austin, Troy Parrott and Brennan Johnson.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">They also represent Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guéhi, plus former Tottenham players Ryan Fredericks and Andros Townsend.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Ko Itakura</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tottenham are following 26-year-old (27 later this month) Japanese international (23 caps, 1 goal) centre-back Ko Itakura.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The right-footed Borussia Mönchengladbach defender was previously at Manchester City and his agents are Base, with whom Spurs have a great relationship.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This seems to be new news to Sky Sports, but obviously, it's not new news to you guys. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Itakura was of interest in the summer too and his release clause this summer is €10-15 million (£8.58-12.87m).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Both Tottenham and Liverpool have spoken to his club, who want to extend his contract (runs until 2026) and asked to be kept informed.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Morgan Whittaker</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Alfie Devine is a sweetener for South Coast Championship side Plymouth Argyle as Tottenham are following 23-year-old (24 next January) England U-20 international (1 cap) Morgan Whittaker.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Plymouth already have young centre-back Ashley Phillips on loan from us.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Right-winger Whittaker, who has 15 goals and 6 assists in 29 games is also being tracked by Serie A side Atalanta, </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Fulham, Brentford and West Ham United.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We have been informed that Atalanta scout Mick Doherty was at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday to watch Whittaker play for the Pilgrims, who drew with Huddersfield Town 1-1.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The statistics for the wide attacker this season include: </span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">13 goals from open play</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">6 goals from outside the box</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">109 shots</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">35 shots from set-pieces</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">41 shots on target</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">5 shots hit the post</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">According to my research, Plymouth would be looking for a fee of at least £11 million.</span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

Incredibly, social media went into meltown over the minutest delay in signing Radu Drăgușin and the angle journalists have taken to stir up unrest.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is surely time those fans living their lives with hearts full of hatred to let go. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Now, more than ever, is a time for positivity and getting fully behind the club, which as Postecoglou pointed out to them, includes the chairman and staff... if those fans want success in the shortest space of time.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He pointed out that fans abusing the chairman, staff or players are slowing the path to success that everyone including the fans needed to be on the same page fully behind this journey.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It is unfortunate that some fans either didn't understand the Australians' message or feel that their hatred is more important than Spurs achieving success in a game dictated by money.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Expressing hatred and constantly slamming the chairman and part-owner of a football club, like Daniel Levy of Tottenham Hotspur, may seem like a form of passionate support to those with a limited train of thought, but it is counterproductive for several reasons.</span></span></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Hatred-Hearted Fan Approach:</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Negative Atmosphere:</span></h3><ol style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0;

font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There you go, some people will listen to journalists!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Ahead of the game telling you Djed Spence was a part of the Radu Drăgușin deal with Genoa, who can buy him for €8m (£6.88m) in the summer and we received a £1m loan fee from Leeds United.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Additionally, there was nothing from me about Bayern Munich interest, blown out of all proportion by social media latching onto clickbait stories from journalists.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2024/01/spurs-showdown-wild-ride-from-glory-to.html" target="_blank">Spurs Showdown: A Wild Ride From Glory to Grit</a></b></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Two in already and we want two more but it depends upon outgoings. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">As I have consistently said, Spurs will bring in a midfielder IF Piere-Emile Højbjerg leaves. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Spurs are happy to let Højbjerg leave and he is keen to depart, knowing he isn't a first-choice starter but we want a guaranteed sale, not a loan and clubs want to take him on loan.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There is AFCON to consider of course but if we can upgrade the squad by moving him on and replacing him we will.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Since Ange Postecoglou has arrived Tottenham have signed 10 players costing £239 million and some hared-hearted are suggesting Postecoglou isn't being back. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">What world these people are living in is a mystery, a virtual reality world instead of a reality world perhaps.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lloyd Kelly</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lloyd Kelly, the 25-year-old (26 in October) Bournemouth centre-back is still on our radar.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is homegrown, an England U-20 international, left-footed and out of contract in the summer so has a lot of off-field positives, quite apart from his on-field game which includes strong ball retention qualities.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">VfB Stuttgart, Juventus and AC Milan all interested and will be making advances to him now, however, he very keenly wants to join Tottenham. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He can provide left-back cover and we'd like to bring him in if possible.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Morten Frendrup</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tottenham are eyeing up 23-year-old (24 in April) Genoa central midfielder Morten Frendrup.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Genoa signed the Dane in January 2022 for €3.90 million (£3.36m) from Bröndby who are entitled to €1.2 million (£1.03m) in bonus and have a 15% (of any profit) sell-on clause.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Postecoglou likes versatility and Frendrup is an energetic all-rounder with excellent ball-winning abilities. He also has experience at both full-back and wing-back on both the left and right.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I should point out that Connor Gallagher remains the first choice, partly because he is homegrown but he wants to remain at Chelsea, although they possibly need to sell to help adhere to the new sustainability rules that took over from Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lloyd kelly, for the same homegrown reason, is probably ahead of Frendrup in our pecking order.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Timo Werner</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">As I said before, I'm excited to see Timo Werner arrive because there is a high-quality player in there that needs resurrecting.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Do that and he is almost instantly worth 60m more than we will be paying for him if we decide to keep him, which obviously we will do if he is a success.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is excellent off the ball, with a high work rate and movement when attacking, which creates space for others.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">On the ball, he is excellent running at players, including his time at Chelsea so I think he is going to be providing plenty of chance creation and if we can recapture his dormant goalscoring talent then we will have quite a player on our books.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Spurs are a team who run with the ball at opponents, we are 2nd in the Premier League for progressive carries this season, with only Manchester City ahead of us.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Successful take-ons of opponents, Spurs also sit 2nd behind Wolverhampton Wanderers, 3rd for carries into the final third and easily 1st for carries into the opposition penalty box with 198 carries ahead of 169 for Man City and 159 for our North London rivals.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Gareth Bale used to run at the byline and cross the ball across the 6-yard box, Timo Werner does the same, but not so prolifically as Bale used to do.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is arguably the best player Tottenham have had with this skill since the Welshman. Time will tell, but his signing, initially on loan is intriguing.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Statistics show that at Chelsea he outperformed most other forwards running at opponents, so he is proven at one essential skill for our system.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If you delve into his Chelsea stats, carrying the ball he is right up there, particularly into the opposition box so potentially, Spurs have an absolute bargain on their hands.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Werner works hard off the ball, as do Spurs, we are top of the league for winning the ball back in the final third and having a shot after a turnover Tottenham are 2nd (just 3 off the top) and joint top for goals scored from these turnovers.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The German international fits in well with this style of play and again, at Chelsea, his stats for blocking passes put him in the top echelons.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">One to keep a close eye on.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>COYS</b></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN) researched and informed articles from Spurs #1 blog.

font-size: medium;">Good afternoon once again from Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN).</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Innovative as ever, today I thought I'd bring you a Hollywood script.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Well, not actually a script, but the structure of a Hollywood film so that you can think for yourself how our season, or indeed journey, fits into this billion-dollar fantasy world format.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The hero, the villain and we all know who the hatred-hearted will cast in that role, the 'expert' who resurrects our hero to finally win the day and bring a happy ending.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Relating the three-act structure to a season of a football club like Tottenham Hotspur involves looking at the team's journey, challenges, and resolution over the course of the season.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Before you start on that though, your essential reading for the day:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">The club and manger goals are obviously different than fan goals. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The club has to take a longer view and try to fit the short-term fan goal into the long term goal without taking it off course.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The "normal" world is the beginning of the season with a fresh start for all teams.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The inciting incident could be key early matches, transfer activities, or unexpected challenges.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The team establishes its style of play and early league position.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Act 2 - Confrontation (Midseason):</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The team faces challenges, competitions, and obstacles such as injuries, tough opponents, or inconsistent performances.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Rising action with various competitions (league, cup matches) and mid-season transfers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The midpoint could be a crucial match or a significant event that changes the course of the season.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The team's performance in this phase shapes its standing in the league and other competitions.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Act 3 - Resolution (Second Half of the Season):</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">The climax is the final push for the league title, securing a European spot, or avoiding relegation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The resolution involves the team achieving its goals or facing the consequences of falling short.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

He is too frail for the Premier League and lacks the talent to make up for it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He is totally left-footed and recently stopped us from scoring a goal because he couldn't shoot with his right foot while running across the path of a better-positioned player.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There is no end product to his game. Yes, his work on the edge of our area led to a breakaway goal recently.but one swallow doesn't make a summer.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Clubs want him on loan, we need to sell him and should go all out to do so in the summer.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Currently, Feyenoord and injury-hit Fiorentina are chasing him.

The Tottenham train is preparing to load with passengers and continue its journey through the Wild West of the Premier League.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Doc is treating the wounded caught in gunfire but Sheriff Postecoglou is keeping law and order in town.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The town council are panning for gold to give a bright future and our recent exploits on this front have been very encouraging, Van der Ven, Maddison, the revival of forgotten gunslingers, just like Dean Martin in the classic 1959 Western Rio Bravo.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">John Wayne (Sheriff), Dude, a recovering drunk (Dean Martin), the young gunslinger Colorado Ryan (Ricky Nelson) and Stumpy (Walter Brennan) defending the jailhouse is all rather like the Spurs defence at the moment, with Ben Davies now also out injured.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Let's see who the cavalry coming over the hill are, potentially.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Timo Werner</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I'm excited to see Ange Postecoglou reignite a talent who was expected to be the next big German international striker.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">He hasn't hit the heights expected but that isn't to say we can't improve him and with all the chances we create, his finishing could be important for us...and at a value price.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This is the sort of signing I have been hoping we would make for years, a high-quality player not at the top of his game and thus a vastly reduced price.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">They just need revival and a sports psychologist can go a long way to achieving that.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There have, as usual, been some interesting reads lately, the Resurgence of Spurs, our relationship with Base, a Wild West-themed post and a Train-themed post. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It has shades of Paulo Dybala all over again, the Juventus player we tried to sign a few years back and who said Spurs did everything they could but a legal dispute over his image rights prevented us from knowing who to negotiate and sign his image rights with.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Like Dybala, Drăgușin has sold his image rights to a third party and that has put Napoli off as they wish their club to have control over players image rights.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">That has not put off Spurs though but it does mean we have to negotiate with three parties, Drăgușin and his agent, Genoa and the company owning his image rights.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Deals will have to be agreed with all three of them for a deal to go through.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Genoa have rejected a second bid from Spurs of €25 million (£21.52m) plus add-ons suggest one report, but another says a deal for </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">€20 million (£17.18m) + </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">€6 million (£5.16m) add-ons + Djed Spence on loan is about to be finalised</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Which report do you believe? Well. the second one is from Di Marzio, the man to listen to when it comes to Spurs deals in Italy, the Sky reporter being one of Fabio Paratici's best friends.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Our opening bid was for €18 million (£15.49m), which is simply a method of lowering the other parties expectations and bringing down the level of agreement. It's a standard business negotiating practice.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">NO formal offer has been made by Bayern Munich after negotiations that Genoa delayed any Spurs deal for.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Italian club are in no rush to sell, indeed they would rather sell him in the summer, but my sources tell me the deal is basically done. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We made an <b>official offer</b> (that means one in writing, usually after it's all been agreed verbally) and the paperwork is with the lawyers to check before the deal is signed.</span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Antonio Nusa</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tottenham have had a meeting in Belgium with Club Brugge over a deal for sought-after Norwegian international (4 caps, 1 goal) Antonio Nusa.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The deal for the 18-year-old (19 next April) would involve loaning the left-winger back, just as we did with Destiny Udogie.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Matías Soulé</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tottenham had a meeting with Juventus technical director Cristiano Giuntoli about a potential transfer for 20-year-old (21 in April) Matías Soulé.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Argentinian U-20 right-winger is out on loan at fellow Serie A side Frosinone and Tottenham are keen on a deal and have been watching him closely since the summer.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Juventus are said to be looking for </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">€20 million (£17.18m) for the exciting talent who has taken his chance out on loan.</span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Joint 3rd most goals (8)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">2nd most key passes (43)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Most successful dribbles (64)</span></li></ul></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">His creative passing from the line attacks the spaces and he looks as if you would fit Postecoglou's system well, plus Juventus need to keep raising money.</span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further Targets</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This window Spurs will be looking at a central midfielder if a deal for</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is finalised.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The players Ange Postecoglou is interested in to replace him are;</span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">28-year-old (29 in December) Kalvin Phillips at Manchester City</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">24-year-old (25 on the 10th of January) Youssouf Fofana at AS Monaco</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">23-year-old (24 February) Connor Gallagher at Chelsea</span></li></ul></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Éderson has not been forgotten either.
