Finance expert warns Tottenham could swap Michelin for McDonalds this summer

Finance expert Kieran Maguire believes Daniel Levy could be setting Tottenham fans up for another summer transfer window without ‘big-name’ signings.

The Tottenham chairman caused another storm at the end of March when Spurs posted their financial statement from the 2023/24 season – a campaign without European football.

Levy stated that Tottenham would not spend beyond their means and risk the financial stability of the club. In other words, Spurs fans should not expect huge spending this summ...

Expert reveals why Tottenham fans shouldn't worry about financial losses

Finance expert Kieran Maguire says Tottenham Hotspur fans shouldn’t worry too much about the recent financial losses because the results were ‘as good as you could expect’.

It has been a tumultuous couple of seasons in North London for Tottenham Hotspur. While Ange Postecoglou enjoyed a positive first season in charge of Tottenham – finishing fifth in the Premier League – multiple injury crises have derailed all sense of progress in N17.

It must also be remembered that Postecoglou’s debut Prem...

Tottenham Hotspur could be set to earn a potential £60 million windfall - Kieran Maguire

Finance expert Kieran Maguire has exclusively informed Spurs Web that Tottenham Hotspur could earn over £60m in winnings and revenue if they perform well over the coming weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League season is over. Fans have known that for a long time, the players know that, and Ange Postecoglou knows that.

At the moment, the Spurs squad is fighting for two things from weekend to weekend – pride and a bit of positive form to take into the remaining European fixtures.

Dimitar Berbatov reveals why players will be getting angry at Tottenham

Dimitar Berbatov admits Tottenham need to win another trophy soon, but he thinks all the talk around silverware will anger the current Spurs squad.

It has been a long time since Tottenham won a trophy. No Spurs fans needs to be reminded. The last time a piece of silverware was lifted, Berbatov himself was on the scoresheet.

In fact, 61 different players have left Tottenham and won trophies elsewhere since the Lilywhites last tasted success of their own.

Michael Dawson sends Eintracht Frankfurt warning to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League

Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals of the Europa League but Michael Dawson has a warning for his former team.

Ange Postecoglou will lead Tottenham Hotspur out on two huge nights under the lights in April as the Lilywhites look to book their place in a major European semi-final.

Under normal circumstances, Spurs might come into the two-legged tie as favourites, but Eintracht Frankfurt are currently in the top four in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Tottenham...

Dimitar Berbatov opens up on how much his Tottenham legacy means to him

After rolling back the years in Tottenham Legends vs AC Milan Glorie, Dimitar Berbatov exclusively told Spurs Web what his legacy at the club means to him.

Tottenham Hotspur legends of yesteryear flocked to North London this weekend to take on an AC Milan Glorie XI featuring Andrea Pirlo, Dida, and Cafu.

Dimitar Berbatov was joined by some of his old teammates, Robbie Keane, Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe, Michael Dawson, and Ledley King, as well as icons including 64-year-old Mark Falco.

Aaron Lennon sends advice to Mikey Moore as a fellow Tottenham teen star

In an exclusive chat with Spurs Web, Aaron Lennon sends some honest advice to Tottenham Hotspur academy graduate Mikey Moore, with both having made their debuts at such a young age.

The parallels between Aaron Lennon and Mikey Moore are plain for all to see. The former made his Premier League debut for Leeds United – ironically against Spurs – at the age of 16 years and 129 days. Mikey Moore made his senior Tottenham debut off the bench against Man City at 16 years and 277 days.

Both Lennon an...

Michael Dawson tips Tottenham youngster to be a club legend of tomorrow

Fresh off the back of a defensive masterclass in Tottenham Legends vs AC Milan Glorie, Michael Dawson exclusively told Spurs Web that he thinks one current Spurs youngster deserves more credit.

Michael Dawson is a man who knows all about breaking into a top-flight club at a young age. In a 3-2 First Division defeat against Walsall back in 2002, an 18-year-old Daws made his first-team debut for Nottingham Forest.

The following season, Dawson made 42 appearances and scored five times for his boy...

How easy is it to go pro?

The number of golfers who play in Great Britain has hovered around 4 million for over a decade now, equating to around 8% of the adult population. Globally, around 60 million players regularly pick up a set of clubs and walk 18-holes, so how do you even begin trying to stand out as an amateur golfer? Pro Tour College say that 98% of young amateur golfers will fail, and even those who make it onto a pro tour will only last 3 years. I delved into the world of amateur golf to find out exactly what

Exclusive: Jack Clarke's trainer gives inside scoop on pre-season preparation and Spurs hopes

In July 2019, Jack Clarke became the man to end Tottenham’s signing drought under Mauricio Pochettino, with the club going almost 18-months without splashing the cash (The Sun).

The Lilywhites shelled out £10million for the teenage winger who had enjoyed a sparkling breakthrough season at his boyhood club, Leeds United (BBC).

However, the 2019/20 campaign proved to be far less fruitful for the youngster as he endured frustrating loan spells at both Leeds and Queens Park Rangers.

Exclusive: Glenn Hoddle reveals why he has 'reservations' about Gareth Bale's Spurs return

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle has revealed his excitement at the idea of Gareth Bale returning to the club, although admits that he has some reservations.

During his time in North London, Bale managed an impressive 56 goals in 203 games, despite playing his early years as a left-back (transfermarkt).

Gareth Bale left Tottenham to become the most expensive player in the world back in 2013, joining up with European giants Real Madrid.

Few could argue with such a decision after the Welshman went

Drink spiking is on the rise - But how can you avoid it?

Buying a drink for someone in a club or bar should be a fairly innocuous gesture, however, the issue of drink spiking has slipped under the radar as an epidemic in Britain. A crime survey by ITV in 2014 showed that one in ten people has had their drink tampered with, and Swansea University claim that one in three of their students have endured the same treatment. Although it is impossible to be sure of the numbers and statistics around drink spiking, it is clearly a huge problem which needs to be dealt with.

Exclusive: Sources close to Spurs player deny claims he is unhappy with Postecoglou

Sources close to Giovani Lo Celso have informed The Spurs Web that reports claiming the Argentine is unhappy with Ange Postecoglou are false.

Estadio Deportivo reported this week that Giovani Lo Celso is unhappy at being overlooked by Ange Postecoglou for the first two matches of the season, despite performing well in pre-season.

Postecoglou himself even stated this summer that he likes Lo Celso and believes he is a good fit for his three-man midfield system (Football. London).

Exclusive: Brighton expert tells Spurs fans exactly what to expect from Yves Bissouma

Tottenham Hotspur have finally announced the signing of Yves Bissouma from Brighton on a four-year contract, much to the delight of Spurs fans everywhere (Tottenham).

While Tottenham fans are well aware of the quality Bissouma can bring, especially after his masterclass against the Lilywhites last season, we wanted to get some further insight into the player by speaking to a life-long Brighton fan.

Who better to speak to than the founder of BHA Today, LetsTalkBHAFC podcaster, and freelance jou

The autistic artist taking Comic-Con by storm

Comic-con is an interesting and unique phenomenon, with thousands of fans travelling across countries to attend huge events elaborately dressed as their favourite figures and characters. As I wandered around Kensington Olympia in the summer of 2015, a sea of self-proclaimed nerds parting before me, the last thing I expected to see was the most talented artist that I have ever met. Sat between a beheaded Ned Stark and Fiona from Shrek stood Chris Baker, a young artist with an incredible story.

'He is used to proving people wrong' - Celtic fans tell Spurs what to expect from Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur appear to finally be closing in on their new permanent head coach, more than two months after Antonio Conte was given his North London marching orders.

The Lilywhites have lacked a clear direction since Mauricio Pochettino‘s time in charge – an era which was defined by the close bond that ran through Tottenham, all the way from the hierarchy to the fans.

Fast forward four years and the supporters have arguably never felt further from the club, with Daniel Levy having to answe

Exclusive: Ronny Rosenthal opens up on Mourinho and his favourite Spurs moment

Ronny Rosenthal, or Rocket Ronny as many affectionately knew him back during his playing days, pulled on the Spurs jersey 88 times in the League during his four years at the club.

Rosenthal, born in Haifa, Israel, started his career at his local Maccabi Haifa, winning two Israeli league titles before securing a high-profile move to Club Brugge.

After periods at both Standard Liege and Liverpool, Rocket Ronny joined the Lilywhites in January 1994, becoming an instant regular and fan-favourite a

Exclusive: Pascal Chimbonda reveals what he has loved about Oliver Skipp this season

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender, Pascal Chimbonda has claimed that Oliver Skipp deserves to be in the Tottenham starting XI week-in-week-out at the moment (Exclusive interview conducted over Instagram).

The Spurs academy graduate has filtered seamlessly into the first-team under Nuno Espirito Santo this season, fresh off the back of a title-winning campaign on loan at Norwich City.

Skipp played 45 out of 46 league games for the Canaries last time out as they won promotion back to the Premier

'Even we don't dislike Postecoglou' - how Arsenal and Spurs fans really view their rivals

Rival fans at a local derby. They generally hate each other.

Or at least they hate the team the other supports. But, with the Emirates hosting the north London derby on Sunday, what do Tottenham Hotspur fans really think of Arsenal? And how do Arsenal fans view Spurs?

To find out, The Athletic spoke to:

What do you think of their manager?

Clive Palmer (Arsenal fan): “I knew a bit about Ange Postecoglou before he arrived and thought he’d be OK, because the thing about him is, he’s an adult. H
