At Tottenham Hotspur, countless managers have come and gone in the Premier League era but few have really made their mark at the club. Juande Ramos was the last to deliver silverware back in 2008 while Mauricio Pochettino was the man to lead Spurs to an unlikely Champions League final in 2019.

Every man in the hot seat has felt that they have been held back by the club’s transfer policy. Unable to compete with the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs, Tottenham have to pay lower fees while trying to develop youth at the same time.

Mixed Results

In some cases, most notably with Harry Kane, Tottenham’s youth development policy has been a success. After progressing through the junior ranks, Kane was sent on loan to continue his education but has since become one of the most prolific strikers in world football.

However, it’s rare to find a player with this outstanding quality and many other promising youngsters will have fallen by the wayside. Buying in players has also delivered mixed results: Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli blossomed at Spurs but both have since moved on.

Tottenham have issues in terms of keeping players happy and, ultimately, they will want to have some winners’ medals in their pockets. That was the concern for Spurs fans when Harry Kane was openly courted by Manchester City last summer and, another trophy-less campaign is likely to see that particular transfer story make a return.

Still in the Champions League Hunt

Tottenham Hotspur’s last chance of silverware in 2021/22 disappeared as they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Middlesbrough. It was a bitter blow for the frustrated fanbase and for the club’s manager Antonio Conte.

Spurs retain hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season but that hope seems to be fading fast. With Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea likely to finish in the top three, probably in that order, there is just one UCL place up for grabs. Tottenham are battling for that slot but they have stiff competition from Manchester United, West Ham United and Arsenal.

According to UAE sports betting sites and those from around the world, Spurs are mere sixth favourites to finish inside the top four, behind Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and the two Manchester clubs.

Tottenham still need to play Arsenal and Manchester United so those odds have scope to change. Arabianbetting.com are responsible for those updates and they will adjust odds from their panel of sportsbooks as soon as any changes come in.

In short, it’s a solid all-round website for football followers but is that assessment of Tottenham’s chances an accurate one?

Success Needed Now

Antonio Conte has enjoyed success as a manager in Italy and England where he’s been in charge of some of the biggest teams in world football. In his first few months in charge at Tottenham Hotspur, Conte seems anxious for improvement in the squad and that could be a concern for supporters.

The manager has suggested that the club tends to develop youth while looking to buy promising players who have a solid future in the game. However, he hints that Spurs need to start buying those who are ready to deliver right away.

It’s a logical suggestion but, the future of Tottenham Hotspur and their manager Antonio Conte could well hinge on the club changing its entire transfer policy.
