kind of the price of doing business.
Like it happens in football.
It's a shame.
It's not really, no one is to blame for the fact that an ACL goes, but there have been an awful lot of kind of injuries at Spurs where you think, hang on, there seems to be a pattern here.
Something is maybe not.
What makes them not good enough?
quality of care?
Is it kind of expertise, number of staff?
Is it?
This is completely tangential and is not relevant to Spurs, but is that great that people don't get second opinions?
Because, I mean, what's the quality control on that?
I think they have been unlucky in certain cases, but the number of injuries they've had for several years is, you know, speaking to people at Spurs, you know, the club have wondered about kind of training intensity, whether it's too high or whether it's been too high at certain points and then too low and whether that change brings kind of danger.
There have been unlucky injuries that are the price of doing business, but there have been lots that would make you think that at least is due a review, I would say.
Just in terms of the kind of control for the Zerbi chapters, obviously Johan Lange is there and is a sporting director.
As recently as, I'm going to say the end of February, maybe the start of March, it does predate the Zerbi and it may have changed since then.
Tottenham wanted to appoint another one.
in addition to Langer.
So I would suggest that the chances of Deserby, they may have changed their minds completely and they might do a complete about turn.
But my guess is that Spurs are more likely to start next season with two sporting directors than an all-powerful manager.
I think it's sort of a false debate that we have over should managers have complete control.
