Spring is around the corner. A sure sign? Tottenham's trophy-less spell is being discussed again. For some Spurs fans, a bare cabinet is a damning failure on the part of ownership, writes JackPittBrooke. Why can't THFC capture silverware?
at the old White Hart Lane in March 2016, finally gone top and put pressure back on Leicester City? We could do this all day, but the point is that Spurs have been good enough to be denied by variance, moments, little contingent details. They have not been far away during this 15-year drought.You might say that it comes down to ‘mentality’, although that feels like the wrong word.
Perhaps the right way of looking at it comes down to priorities. It has felt ever since the 2008 League Cup win that the priority of the club was to get into the Champions League. That is why it mattered so much when they beat Manchester City to fourth place in 2010, and why, two years later, it was so painful missing out as Chelsea won the final in Munich and pinched their place in the competition.
When Pochettino was manager he was unfailingly on-message about this, explaining how the domestic cups were not as important as the Premier League and Champions League, and how winning a trophy for the sake of it was not his goal. This mood has survived after Pochettino too. Mourinho took Spurs to the League Cup final in 2021 but Levy still sacked him at the start of that week because he thought Mason would give Spurs a better chance of finishing fourth.
But with Spurs now a semi-regular Champions League participant, and with the trophy drought continuing, might the mood be changing? If Conte guides Spurs to fourth at the end of this season it will be a success, but if he can win them something he could ensure a legacy different from any of his predecessors.Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
