A letter from Peter Charrington, Non-Executive Chairman

Dear Supporters,
On Sunday, despite a season that gave you so little, you gave everything. A full stadium, full voice, full belief, until the final whistle. I have thought carefully about how to begin this letter, and in the end that moment said it better than I can. It is why we owe you honesty about where we have fallen short, and what we are committed to now.
Last September, we recognised that something seismic had to change at Spurs. The Lewis family stepped in and authorised a full reset. That decision was not taken lightly, and it came later than it should have. But what has been put in motion is real, and it marks a genuine break from what had come before.
As part of that process, we discovered some uncomfortable truths. The qualities that make Spurs distinct, our football, our ambition, the connection between the team and its supporters, had been allowed to fade. Football success had not been driving our decisions. We did not have the right expertise in key roles. We did not build squads good enough to compete in the most demanding league in the world. Two 17th place finishes in a row is not acceptable, and we will not dress it up as anything other than falling well short of what this Club expects.
Since September, we have restructured leadership across the Club, with a refreshed executive and football structure. Most of this team are already in post and others will arrive in the coming weeks. The Board are committed to this leadership group and will give them the stability and support they need to run this Club in the right way.
Roberto De Zerbi is signed as Men's Head Coach for five years, a reflection of our belief in his ability and our commitment to build back to where we need to be. He is passionate, committed and positive in everything he does, and represents the kind of football and ambition that Tottenham Hotspur should stand for.
Our commitments to you are clear:
• We will build a squad, led by Roberto as Head Coach, with the right blend of experience, youth and leadership to compete at the highest levels of Premier League and European football.
• We will invest across multiple transfer windows to rebuild, balance and strengthen, with this summer representing an important first step in that work.
• We will continue to modernise our football operation, with a significant focus on raising standards across medical and performance.
• We will increase investment in the Academy to ensure that the pathway from youth football to the first team is one of the strongest in the country.
• We will build on a strong season for Spurs Women by continuing to invest in a world-class women's team, led by Martin Ho.
Since becoming Chairman, I have realised that Spurs fans are built differently. I have seen it over and over again in the last nine months, across every generation, in every conversation. Even in the darkest of seasons, you showed up and carried this team. That loyalty is not something we take for granted. It is something we are determined to be worthy of.
There has been speculation about ownership and the future direction of the Club. Let us be direct. Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale. The Lewis family are wholly committed to this Club and to this rebuild. They will provide the stability and investment needed at every level to move us forward, and they see that as a long-term responsibility, not a short-term fix.
This season fell well short of what Tottenham Hotspur demands. We must be in the fight with the best teams in this league, every season, and we are rebuilding this Club with that standard in mind.
This Club lives in the hearts of everyone who has ever loved it. It has been carried through living rooms and stands, weekends and long journeys home.
We will get back to where we belong.

Interesting, both for what is said, and is not said.
It says 'committed to this leadership team' but ...... actually the only person named is Roberto De Zerbi who is said will lead the build of the squad. The 'leadership team' is a vague concept which might simply mean the new structure where some of the executives are already in place.
The rebuild of the squad would usually be the responsibility of Lange in consultation with coach De Zerbi, That suggests De Zerbi will have a lot more influence than most coaches over which players join and might mean that either Lange has his 'wings clipped' and he cannot make decisions he has made or Lange may be on his way out.... and IMO Lange may make some reasonable choices of players but he's failed to put together a good squad (prime example is buying Gray and Bergvall - both excellent young players - but at the time Spurs needed experienced players so we needed them in addition to Gray/Bergvall).
Vinai has a wide remit to cover - stadium operations require maybe 1,000 people, the commercial side of business is £ms of pounds etc, so I doubt if Vinai spends even a day a week on football matters. The letter says nothing about his position, and it maybe Lewis's believe Lange not doing a great job and hiring Frank were not Vinnai's fault, in which case he probably stays at present.
Lets see who the new executives are and how they operate .... plus of course the players coming in and leaving
Go look up what Dortmund fans say about him.
I think they can just all fuck off... we've had years of this bollocks. Some will believe it but I won't... they're full of shit....
This point exactly...

Thank fuck. The news we have all been waiting for. They are investing in the woman’s football team
518 comments (and counting) roughly 1h after the statement was published and all of them basically saying the same thing. Will they finally listen?
In theory we don’t need to spend that much give how bloated the squad is. The below will all be sold/released and wages gone that is a lot of money. If the club can top that up a bit should be able to do £200m of spending.
Romero
Dragusin
Vicario
Sarr
Bissouma
Kolo Muani
Devine
Solomon
Richarlison
Davies
Veliz
Levy is a dictator. Being a dictator only works if you are competent which he was in his early tenure but football and the club got to big for him. Should be been removed 5-10 years ago, huge mistake.
There's always a few every season sucked in by their charm. They are charlatans who don't care about the club. It's an asset to them. Nothing more, nothing less. They've had 25 plus years to figure this shit out and if they ain't done it by now they never will. They don't deserve anymore time.

The funny thing about these end of season reviews/hit pieces that JPB and Matt Jizslaw have just put out is that you know they had written them before the final game.
They just needed to hammer harder or tone it down slightly based on the result
In all fairness, a non-Exec chair of the board doesn’t need to know that. It’s a bit of a obfuscation to say he does as the reality is that as long as his team are competent his job is to keep oversight.
Under Levy, Spurs produced some of the finest player ever to play the game. Modric, Bale and Kane.
Built world class stadium. World class training facilities.
Got to the champions league final - the pinnacle of football.
A mid table team that punched above their weight for many seasons.
Levy’s downfall was the staff around him. An academy that doesn’t produce first team ready players. An inept medical team. And strung along by Partici.
The Lewis family nearly got Spurs relegated, so they have night right whatsoever to call out Levy.
That statement is very ominous , looks like those two gormless cuntnuggets are gonna be stinking out the joint for another year
We'll never learn , just sell up ENIC , you have nothing to offer , you are taking us down the road to ruin

It's not hard to find the caveats:
"We will invest across multiple transfer windows to rebuild, balance and strengthen, with this summer representing an important first step in that work."
"They will provide the stability and investment needed at every level to move us forward, and they see that as a long-term responsibility, not a short-term fix."
.......
In summary, don't expect it all to change in one year. It's going to take a good few transfer windows as we build with patience. Unlike man utd who bought two fantastic wingers and a striker and went from near bottom to 3rd last year.
I also like how the letter is worded in such a way that the Lewis family bear no responsibility for the mismanagement in the past. They've now stepped in to save the day after owning the club for 20 odd years.
The spurs fan base is getting to a point they won't keep falling for this
This is one of the funniest things i've read in a while.
