Spurs are like the Rags, hampered by their own arrogance and distorted image of self.
The difference is, the Rags have something to be arrogant about, albeit their glory years are behind them. Spurs haven't won a top league title since 1961! I am an old git, and I can just about remember it. In fairness, it was a double with the FA Cup, a huge achievement at the time. (No one rates mere doubles now, but it used to be seen as amazing.)
Spurs need to come down to earth and build the club from the ground up. It can be done, because they have very decent revenues. Very decent. They just need better management and a more realistic attitude.
