After a tumultuous 48 hours, the now-disgraced leaders of the “big six” football clubs in England are coming to their senses and leaving the European Super League. As Tottenham Hotspur thanked supporters for their “considered opinions” chairman Daniel Levy doubled down on the misguided beliefs that led the entire debacle. While I would love nothing more than to focus on football, this club cannot get out of its own way.

No Fair Play with Tottenham Finances

The idea that the club could approve using the words financial fair play in characterizing a proposal that guaranteed the Spurs and others money, but no fairness at all is laughable. Further laughable is that Manchester City was part of the group, having spent nearly a billion on players since hiring Guardiola and being consistently under scrutiny for the supposed FFP rules makes that reference just ridiculous.

Right now, fans need and deserve more than the current club statement

Tottenham needs to tell the truth, we have a huge debt for the stadium and Levy saw a way to fix that and went for it. Had Levy come out and simply said we wanted to secure the financial future of the club we could buy it. However, to play the financial fair play card is just ridiculous.

Tottenham fans and football fans deserve an apology, there are so many ways this conversation could have occurred without creating the negative backlash. Even if more money comes from UEFA in the end and more spots open in the Champions League, you have to wonder at what cost.

First, a dog insults the club, then the club insults our intelligence. Every day, we get new evidence of how out of touch and unaccountable the leadership is at N17, even sacking Mourinho could not cover up the latest shenanigans of Levy et. al.

Next. Positives from Sacking Mourinho. dark
