Spurs CEO: “We had a PLAN for Relegation” | Vinai Venkatesham EXCLUSIVE | The Sports Agents

What really happens behind closed doors at one of the biggest football clubs in the world? Two disastrous Premier League seasons. More than £500 million spent on transfers. Three managers in a matter of months. Tottenham Hotspur needed more than a change of manager — they needed a complete football reset. In this special episode of The Sports Agents, Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham takes Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman inside the boardroom to reveal the decisions, difficult conversations and extraordinary challenges involved in rebuilding a Premier League giant. From Daniel Levy's departure and the sackings of Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor to appointing Roberto De Zerbi, Vinai explains what went wrong at Tottenham, how major transfer decisions are made and why the club's football operation needed such a radical overhaul. Plus, the challenge of replacing Harry Kane, the next generation of Spurs talent, and what it will take to restore Tottenham to the top of English football. An inside look at the money, power and personalities shaping the future of Tottenham Hotspur — and what it really takes to run a Premier League club.
