Host Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s James Maw, Jack Pitt-Brooke, and Dan Kilpatrick for an in-depth discussion on the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as Tottenham Hotspur’s new manager. The panel takes a detailed look at the growing unrest among sections of the fanbase, including a coordinated campaign against De Zerbi led by three separate supporters’ groups, and what that reaction says about the current relationship between the club’s hierarchy and its fans.
They go on to examine what De Zerbi could realistically bring to the team in the short time available, debating whether he can make any meaningful impact on the pitch as Spurs battle through a difficult period. The conversation also highlights goalkeeper Kinsky and the possibility of him stepping into a prominent role under the new manager.
Beyond De Zerbi, the group reflects on Igor Tudor’s short-lived tenure, which lasted just 44 days, assessing what went wrong and why his spell ultimately came to an abrupt end. There’s also discussion around James Maddison’s recent YouTube video and what it reveals about the mood within the squad, alongside an update on Dejan Kulusevski’s knee issue and how it could affect the team moving forward.
With multiple talking points covered, the episode offers a broad look at the current state of Tottenham, both on and off the pitch, during a turbulent time for the club.
