Former Tottenham owner, Lord Alan Sugar, has discussed the Lilywhites’ current predicament and has given his opinion on how they can get out of it.
Spurs sit just five points off the relegation zone at the moment, which is not the situation their supporters would have expected the club to be at the end of January.
According to reports, Thomas Frank is in danger of being sacked if Tottenham’s situation worsens any further.
The Lilywhites have had a relatively quiet January window, with Conor Gallagher and Souza being the only two signings arriving through the door.
Alan Sugar urges Tottenham’s owners to open up their chequebook
The former Spurs owner lays the blame at the feet of the squad, insisting that he would get rid of all of the players if he could.
When asked about the rumours about Frank potentially being fired, Sugar told The Sun: “I think the whole bloody team should be fired, if you ask me. They’re useless. Bloody useless, the lot of them.”
Sugar suggested that the onus is on Spurs owners to spend big on new signings if they want to make sure that the club avoids relegation from the Premier League.
He added: “They’re getting close to the relegation zone. It’ll be interesting to see what the new management is going to do, because, as you know, Daniel Levy has left. So it’s now in the hands of Joe Lewis, who’s a multi-billionaire.
“He needs to start throwing some money, some real money at it, to get the top players. And if he throws some more money at it, they’ll do well. It seems to be the only way that all these clubs do, buy players for £100 million each.”
Sugar reveals why he threatened to sue former Spurs midfielder
A few months ago, Jamie Redknapp apologised to Sugar on air after the business tycoon threatened legal action against the former Spurs midfielder.
That was after Redknapp had suggested that the North London club were “total mess” when the 78-year-old sold the club to ENIC in 2001.
Reacting to that saga, Sugar said: “In 20-odd years of running this show and being the chairman of a football club, I can assure you nothing shocks me with what people say about me.
“I’ve got rhinoceros skin, and it’s like water off a duck’s back. Unless someone oversteps the mark a little bit, then they hear from my lawyers, as Mr Redknapp did recently.”
