Tottenham Hotspur fans are questioning the direction of the club. After years of investment, including a billion-pound stadium and consistent Premier League revenue, Spurs are struggling to deliver results on the pitch — and supporters are starting to feel the disconnect, not to mention the fears or relegation to the EFL Championship. In this episode, Moneyball host Scott Keenan speaks with Andrew Pettifer — Treasurer of OzSpurs, editor of The White Hart Review, and author of When the Final Whistle Blows — about what it really feels like to support Tottenham Hotspur right now. They discuss: Tottenham’s financial model and reliance on Premier League income Fan frustration and expectations vs reality Relegation risk and the financial impact of dropping to the Championship Parachute payments and player sales Recruitment strategy and transfer spending issues The meaning behind a new 5-year manager contract for Roberto De Zerbi What success should look like for Spurs A conversation about football, finance, and the reality that there is no business in sport without fans.
