Tottenham supporters have had an absolute nightmare this season. The club’s only hope to salvage some pride is still in the Europa League, as they are currently in 14th place and have already been eliminated from all domestic competitions. In the midst of the growing annoyance, veteran Spurs defender Ramon Vega has attacked the current team, claiming that they approach pregame rituals like a fashion display and criticizing them for their emphasis on appearances rather than their lackluster results.

The Tottenham Hotspur social media team shared a video of the first team players coming in stylish attire prior to their game versus Southampton. Ramon Vega, the former Spurs defender, was obviously unimpressed and vented his fury on X:

“Is this a fashion show or a football club? Guys, we are 16th on the table. Take your finger out.”

The club is more of a brand

With goals that obviously go beyond the ninety minutes on the field, Tottenham Hotspur has developed into more than just a football team; they now operate as a company and a brand.

This season, the North London team has displayed flashes of genius, most notably their spectacular 4-0 thumping of the defending champions Manchester City at the Etihad. But those times have been few. Although a growing injury issue has undoubtedly contributed, the continuous lack of consistency cannot be entirely justified by it. Spurs need to take swift action not only to bolster their roster but also to keep themselves from falling further behind or perhaps out of the running when the January transfer market opens.

Even if branding initiatives like this might increase Spurs’ popularity and financial worth, devoted supporters find little comfort in the fact that their team is now languishing in 14th place during one of the most depressing seasons in recent memory. The disconnection between the club and its followers has grown as a result of demonstrations and growing dissatisfaction with Daniel Levy’s commercial-first approach.

Tottenham’s sole chance for a trophy now that domestic competitions are out of their grasp is the Europa League. Without a significant change, this campaign runs the possibility of being regarded as one of the most troubling periods in the club’s recent past.
