Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video. How can Spurs escape this never ending cycle of disappointment? Will they ever be a top-six side again? Or is this the history of the Tottenham? Spurs have brought in Igor Tudor to bring the club back from the brink as they hover dangerously close to the relegation zone in 16th.

And perhaps the question in every Spurs fans’ hearts: Should they go back to Mauricio Pochettino this summer?
