Plenty of Tottenham fans have found themselves agreeing with talkSPORT pundit Danny Kelly after he had his say on the club’s current situation.
This came after Jose Mourinho’s side let a 2-1 lead slip as they lost 3-2 to Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. New signing Steven Bergwijn and Serge Aurier cancelled out Matt Doherty’s equaliser for the visitors. But Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez completed the comeback for the West Midlands-based outfit as they walked out of North London with all three points.
Spurs fans! Do you agree with Danny Kelly?
Yes
No
Kelly told talkSPORT that the club is in a crisis after the actions the club has taken over the past six months, with Daniel Levy, Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho as figureheads of blame. He also pointed out that just two of the players that started in the Champions League final lined up against Wolves, in a squad that has been “blown up”.
With this in mind, supporters found themselves reluctantly agreeing with Kelly and made their feelings clear on social media. One fan said that everything he said is spot on, apart from the remarks about Pochettino.

apart from the bit about Poch’s remarks before the CL Final everything he says here is absolutely spot on. https://t.co/hhbv9wFuFw

Exactly what I thought when I saw the team.
He’s prioritising the FA Cup so he can say “well I won a cup” when he leaves us in a total mess.
It’s the thing is fanclub throw out when you mention his spell at United.
“He won trophies there”.
a league cup & the Europa League. https://t.co/yjPzetB89P

100% agree with this… Jose isn’t going to last, I’m sorry to say it but I think he’s going to end up being a bad appointment. https://t.co/xgX6go3Dem

As a spurs fan I agree Danny. Lack of investment haunts Tottenham every single year. A board that won’t invest so players become stale and lethargic as no one pushing them for places. Buying 2nd rate players to appease fans? World class stadium needs world class players.

If Spurs won the FA Cup under Mourinho by playing negative anti football, I would not be happy. I wouldn’t even count it as Spurs winning a trophy.
Yeah coz we have a right to moan about negative football winning trophies, because we have won so many in the last 20 years. If we win a trophy anyhow it counts, and I would celebrate like mad.
COYS
No point blaming Mourinho, when a few injuries in key positions have exposed the squad for what it is.
The Emperor has no clothes!
I have been a grateful supporter of Levy for what he’s done for our club, but his activity in the transfer
market in the past two seasons (not buying and selling smartly, and/or at the opportune time) has not
just stalled the progress he, and Poch, made, it has killed it. And we are not so much declining, as plummeting! The cracks were already showing with Poch throughout 2019, despite the sheer will we showed in reaching the CL final.
Mourinho has been lumbered with slowing and ageing centrebacks, with only the inconsistent Sanchez to back them up, and with inferior full backs compared with the great Walker/Tripps/Rose/Davies years. Our DMs have regressed (Dier and Wanyama), while Foyth and KWP haven’t fulfilled their potential. Our most expensive signing, Ndombele has fitness and injury issues, and no one (including Mourinho and the player himself) knows his best position on the pitch! Time will tell if Fernandes, Parrot and Tanganga will be big assets to the team. But meanwhile we’re expecting our remaining key and fit players to stretch themselves beyond what they’re best at …ie Winks making a decent team tick from central midfield, Lo Celso concentrating on attacking/creative midfield only (ala Eriksen), Moura and Berjwyn playing off key front players around them. It seems Alli and Lamela, as talented as they are, have no real idea how to assist in a team that is barely a team at all. In Alli’s case it’s a huge waste of what the man is good at. It’s all just a big stodgy mess and Mourinho is simply trying to make the best of what he has in the final games of the season. He has no real room for being adventurous or experimental, let alone defensive, and although we Spurs fans would rather see us failing in a blaze of attacking Glory, we have to understand Jose’s and the club’s situation.
