Spurs are risking their entire reputation - and, pipe down, they do have a reputation to salvage - on someone who just cannot possibly be worth it based on ethical, moral or cynically dispiritingly football-only reasons. It is utterly absurd.
We take the p*ss out of Spurs a lot because, well, there are lots of reasons to take the p*ss.
They’ve finished in the top six for 12 of the last 13 seasons, and seventh in the odd one out. No other striving club has been able to organically replicate anything like that level of consistency. Leicester’s lightning-bottling brilliance aside, Spurs are a special case. There isn’t even a cynical argument about the quality of his work making him worth the astonishing sacrifice.
It’s easy to think of mistakes Levy has made in his 20 years at Spurs, but impossible to think of a graver, more obvious, more self-inflicted and less necessary one than this unflinching support of a fraudster. Even if we extremely generously accept that Spurs genuinely didn’t know FIFA were about to announce this right now, the sense of astonished bafflement that an entirely predictable outcome had been reachedis incredible. We’re struggling to think of a funnier official club announcement from a Premier League club.
