The players at Spurs see a manager with a history of winning Cup finals sacked a few days before a Cup final. They see managers who have built very good teams not being given the last few players when there is a real chance of silverware. They see managers remain in place even after going out of the Cup competitions to lesser opposition but those same managers get sacked when we miss out on the top 4 or look as though we are likely to do so. It is very clear to the players at Spurs that there is no real ambition to win trophies at our club.
We've probably had over 100 players in our first team squad since 2010. Interesting that it is only Spurs players who don't have the right mentality eh? How do you account for many of those players leaving and winning things elsewhere?
Agree with all of the above. However, re the bolded, I suspect at least part of the problem may be a reluctance by Levy and the Board to splash the cash because of certain past failures, whereas when they go bargain hunting they believe they have more chance of a retrun on their investment:
It's clearly not mental at all. Players win things before they join us and after they leave us.
