Tottenham Hotspur's struggles continue as they stand just a point above the Premier League relegation zone after a damaging home defeat by Crystal Palace on Thursday night.
According to BBC Sport, former Spurs and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson stated, "This is a problem that has been building over years.
Robinson's comments come as interim manager Igor Tudor lost his third game in succession, leading to questions about his future at the club.
Club Hierarchy Under Scrutiny
CEO Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange are under pressure to deliver, with the Lewis family overseeing affairs.
Venkatesham, who previously worked at Arsenal, has tried to steady the ship but the first few months of his tenure have not been promising.
Legacy of Former Chairman Daniel Levy
Former chairman Daniel Levy, who stepped down in September after almost 25 years, is a divisive figure, with some criticism being unfair, according to Robinson.
Levy was the driving force behind Spurs' magnificent stadium, but found himself in the crosshairs of supporters for what they regarded as his failure to provide financial backing to break into the Premier League elite.
Managerial Changes and Player Signings
Since Mauricio Pochettino's sacking in November 2019, Spurs have spent £979m on players with a net spend of £653m, but the club's fortunes have dipped significantly.
The appointment of Tudor, a coach with an indifferent record, has been questioned, and the club's hierarchy is under scrutiny for their decision-making.
Future Prospects
The question remains whether Spurs can survive the current mess, with many fans hoping for the return of Pochettino next season.
However, the club's current state, with key players injured or departed, makes it a challenging task for any manager to turn things around.
