[The Athletic] Tottenham and City Football Group: Are Spurs trying to learn from Manchester City?

Combine with this excellent interview with Noel Gallagher on TalkSPORT recently where he talks in depth about City (the bit starting at 1:35 in particular).

There are other videos in this interview. I'll drop those links below 👇
Other clips in that fascinating interview with Noel Gallagher. I always love to hear him talk about City and football in general. He's a knowledgable fan with nuanced understanding of the game, imo.

Something Noel mentioned several times: it'll take 10 years.
He was talking about getting to a place where you can take winning the Champion's League seriously. A real contender, not just a fluky run. This is how long it took City to get there with SERIOUS football people running the club from top to bottom with a long-term vision.
He mentioned the 10 years figure in regards to Newcastle and United, but it applies to Spurs too. Arsenal further in. Chelsea? 🤷♂️

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs I think we were starting under Porch, but then the stadium took all the energy. Although I think the foundation is much more solid with the new stadium, so ...

Yes, for sure, Poch was the real deal and Levy should not have sacked him. The Stadium has been a huge distraction (then Covid right after it opened), but I understand from a business perspective why it was needed. It could be seen as a masterstroke once the regulator comes in and FFP rules are actually upheld. The need for a sustainable and diverse income at clubs at the top is important.
But for me Levy handled it all badly, including those 3 managers after Poch.
