Tottenham Hotspur supporters were always frustrated with the direction of the club under ENIC and the Lewis Family, but somehow, fan support and confidence is at an all time low even nearly a year after the removal of Daniel Levy as Chairman.
Things have not gotten any betterfor Spurs, who finished 17th in the Premier League for a second straight season but nearly found themselves demoted to the EFL Championship, needing a 1-0 win over Everton on Matchday 38 to survive a historic drop.
So many mistakes were made across the course of the 2025/26 season, but two mistakes, in particular, are ones pointed out by Tottenham fans as evidence that Johan Lange is not good enough to be the club's sporting director. The first was the time afforded to Thomas Frank despite it being obvious he was a historically inept manager for Spurs and a woeful fit. And the second was Conor Gallagher being the only established player to join the club in the winter transfer window despite a ton of needs in the attack.
Tottenham fans want Johan Lange out
Tottenham Hotspur fans have been practically begging the club to remove Lange from his position as sporting director and add someone truly at the top level to lead the club's direction going forward, especially after his ineptitude played a key role in driving Fabio Paratici out of the club to Fiorentina.
According to new reporting from Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Athletic, Tottenham are now considering doing exactly that, targeting a truly world class sporting director in order to replace Johan Lange and potentially even diverting from their original plan to keep Lange in a lesser role; Spurs could hire a new sporting director and get rid of Lange in an executive role all together.
Lange's scouting genius is probably overrated, but he has found some quality and promising young prospects for Tottenham like Lucas Bergvall and potentially even Souza. Tottenham could use Lange as a scouting mind and as a voice among many, but that would entail an even bigger demotion from sporting director to something lower than a lesser directive role - and that is probably something Lange will not go for, given his stature in European football now that he's been given the chance to lead a club's direction.
Tottenham need to go for someone in the sporting director role who is capable of leading a top club with Champions League ambitions and not someone who has now failed at three clubs, including Aston Villa and now Tottenham. Spurs supporters are crying out for a truly great sporting director, and hopefully the club going for someone like that both means Lange and Sebastian Kehl are not options.
