Spurs were the third highest spenders in the world last season.
Imo, Spurs have two issues when signing players.
One is that they don’t pay the same wages as Liverpool, Arsenal and City.
The second, and probably less important, is that they are down the list of attractive clubs a bit.
However, their revenues are increasing year on year, they just need to uncover a couple of gems somehow.

There is a culture of not winning at the club that also needs eradicating.
A culture where it’s okay to not win a trophy as long as you finish 4th or possibly even 5th now.
Poch tried to get Levy to see the light by getting him on the pitch with the players before big games - get that big of succeeding into him - didn’t work. Jose and Conte just sounded off about the culture - quite correctly imo, but it was always going to get them sacked. Nuno was just schitt to be fair. Ange rather bizarrely chose to blame the fans.
Meanwhile the club removed senior citizens discount and expect fans to pay £30 to go and watch us at home to Qarabag on a Thursday night
A fish rots from the head and so do Spurs
we spend far too much on players from clubs smaller than us
when you compare that to the amount of players Arsenal for example were able to get from teams around them like City and Chelsea

Arsenal don’t have Levy faaacking off all those clubs. We categorically do not do business with Chelsea, West Ham and Arsenal. Fergie used to moan like hell about Levy - who was the last player between Spurs and United, the loan of Reggie aside. City - they don’t want to come to us. Liverpool - they don’t want to come to us.
Then the elephant in the room is wages - we’re miles behind and I mean miles, those clubs.
Danny Rose was on a podcast the other day - he said the English Spurs players bar Kane used to get ridiculed at the England camp due to the wages they were on compared to the other teams.
He also said that our win bonuses had a clause that said we had to win by at least 2 goals - how’s that a serious football club

Other clubs are doing it though, there'll always be players around on an upward trajectory that will see Spurs as a step in the right direction, they just need to identify more of these players so they have leverage in the market and make sure they have some character too.
The teams around them like Brighton, Villa, Newcastle who are coming from a lower position than Spurs but equally trying to break into the top 4 seem to be a lot smarter and cohesive with their squad building.
