Spurs CEO Backs Under-Fire Boss

Tottenham are bottom after five games, but instead of hitting the panic button, the board have doubled down on Roberto De Zerbi. The CEO’s public backing isn’t just talk—it’s a calculated move to avoid the chaos (and the costly payout) of another quick managerial change. With Manchester United away and Coventry at home up next, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can De Zerbi justify the patience, or does this “vote of confidence” just start the countdown clock?

But here’s the catch: big January signings are off the table after that £300 million summer. Instead of chasing expensive, top-tier strikers, Spurs are weighing whether to bet on young Mathys Tel, who just equaled a France U21 record, or stick with stop-gap solutions. Meanwhile, off the pitch, Tottenham’s stadium is raking in NFL and event money, giving them room to breathe financially—at least for now. But local authorities want a slice, and if results don’t improve, all that revenue won’t shield the club from fan pressure.
