Tottenham is unlikely to win a trophy anytime soon, but Amazon could well win an Oscar with its documentary All or Nothing.
Spurs fans will not appreciate it.
But whether it’s the 7-2 humiliation of Bayern Munich, the dismissal of the iconic Mauricio Pochettino, the nomination of Jose Mourinho, the red cards of Heung-Min Son, the injury of Harry Kane, a ridiculous victory over Man City , or Eric Dier jumping from seats to take after an abusive fan, the TV series will have everything to please.
The FA Cup Wednesday exit in Norwich, however, seems to be the moment that could be a turning point for all concerned at the club.
It was a fourth game without a win in a row and leaves the Spurs out of both the Champions League and the top four.
Mourinho, who was already complaining about his injuries with long-term absentees from Kane and Son, now has a tired group to win with and thinks he can only name a strong XI in a subsequent club game against Burnley and RB Leipzig.
It is an embarrassing state for the Spurs to stay, but not surprisingly given their last two wild years.
A catalog of transfer window failures, Pochettino’s stubbornness and Argentina’s reluctance to play full-power teams in the national cups saw Tottenham fall in the Champions League final with a broken team unable to punish a tired Liverpool team in Madrid.
His act of kintsugi was a curse rather than a blessing.
The signatures of Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon were all going to need time to get in tune, but they didn’t stand a chance and were further hampered by injury and fitness issues.
A bruised and bruised group of players needed more help than that.
He must now annoy Daniel Levy that the failed transfer targets Ricardo Pereira, Jack Grealish and Youri Tielemans all succeed in their respective clubs.
Instead, due to the mistakes of Pochettino and Levy, everything is going on.
Dismissed in November, the Argentinian ran his superstars in the mud.
The sudden decline, physical and technical, of so many players can only be kicked out with Kane rarely replaced, Kieran Trippier playing through injuries and Danny Rose a shadow of his former self; even Son has struggled for form this season, despite his goals.
Christian Eriksen, before his release, and Dele Alli are two others who have been emptied.
In March of last year, Jan Vertonghen toasted North London after a superb demonstration to the left winger against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
Now the Belgian is barely featured, however, and although he has had a decent display against Norwich, he fights anyone with a touch of rhythm.
Even the always reliable Toby Alderweireld looks shocked in the N17 trenches.
Mourinho plays his part in the series, both a tragedy and a comedy, as a talented set of players who were once contenders for the title now merge into the top four fans.
His decision to throw Michel Vorm, a goalkeeper who went on near retirement last summer and had never been very useful to the Spurs as a player with errors against Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Leicester, stank inappropriate arrogance.
His reluctance to rest his players has hurt Kane, while Lucas Moura and others have looked exhausted since late January; even the recent signing Steven Bergwijn had to beg for a rest after 53 minutes against Norwich.
Meanwhile, Mourinho’s frank press conferences, while being honestly refreshing, give the impression that he is throwing players under the bus.
Fans are also in a spin. There are almost too many people to blame.
Off the field, the Spurs are, whether they like it or not, led by one of the best executives in world football, Daniel Levy.
A lack of action on the transfer market in the previous windows can be partially attributed to the brain of the conference room.
But it has also provided an infrastructure that even the best in the world can only dream of.
The Spurs could well be set up for the next half century at least thanks to its investment in a state-of-the-art training ground and a magnificent stadium which is the envy of the whole world and which should now bring in at the club huge revenues also to other sport climbers. play in the incredible arena.
Pochettino also deserves the flak, it is not as perfect as some people imagine.
If he hadn’t flopped at key moments with strange tactics and selections, the Spurs would likely have silverware in the cabinet.
The FA Cup semifinal against Manchester United where Vorm (again) was selected and Alderweireld was kicked out, another FA Cup semifinal where Kyle Walker was knocked out and Heung-Min Son played rear left.
A tie in the Europa League with Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion saw Tom Carroll and Ryan Mason in midfield together.
Great chances of glory were ruled out, which put pressure on the players.
The supporters themselves should also take a look.
In their brand new stadium, unless one of the top six clubs is in town, even the spectacular one-level booth does not create a stir, while fans mock comparisons with the Emirates.
The atmosphere in the stands is lacking but is also toxic, a pass back to the goalkeeper greeted by moans rather than by the recognition that they are trying to create more space for teammates and to lure their opponents out. of their block.
If the fans, at the first sign of a problem in six years, get angry rather than get behind their players, it will not be a pleasant situation in the future.
The blame cannot be attributed to a single individual – the mistakes were made by many.
For the moment, this cannot be the fault of Levy, ENIC, Mourinho, the players or Pochettino alone, so the supporters must remain united and reduce their expectations for the season.
It is a reconstruction and should be treated as such. Pochettino knew it. He said it would be painful.
We just didn’t know how much it would hurt and how bad the fall would be.
