They might have the money there.

But, you know, when you look at the big six, they will sign players for £100 million.

They will pay the wages.

They will get a player in who they think is going to take them to the next level and spend £350,000 a week on him.

Spurs will spend £60 million.

You know, we might go, that's where we are, our ceiling.

But we won't go above that.

And if you want to act like a big six club and you want to go to that next level, you can't chance it.

You have got to pay the money.

And listen, the money's astronomical, some of the prices now for football players.

But Arsenal, they spent £100 million on Declan Rice.

He's one of the best midfielders in the world now.

They made a statement.

Statement signings that get you to the next level.

Spurs haven't done it.

And look where we are.

It's cost us because our recruitment's been so poor.

So, Michael, who spends the money on players at Spurs?

Well, if you go back to the 2004-05 season, Spurs actually really started in England.

It's a continental thing, but the director of football model, Frank Arneson, if you remember then, it was Jack Santini and Martin Yole was the assistant manager.
