Mido Blasts Tottenham Hierarchy, Expresses Sadness for Fans
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Mido has launched a scathing attack on the club’s hierarchy, claiming that they are running the team into the ground financially and emotionally. The Egyptian international, who played for the Lilywhites from 2005 to 2007, has expressed his disappointment and sadness for the fans, who he feels are suffering as a result of the club’s poor management.
In an interview with a British publication, Mido claimed that the club’s financial mismanagement is having a significant impact on the team’s performances on the pitch. "The lack of investment and poor decision-making from the board is hurting the team, and it’s not just the players who are suffering," he said. "The fans are the ones who are paying the price for this mediocrity, and I feel sorry for them."
Mido, who was a key player in Tottenham’s successful 2006-07 season under manager Juande Ramos, believes that the club’s failure to invest in the team and its infrastructure is a major reason for its current struggles. "You can’t just buy a couple of players and expect to finish in the top four," he said. "It’s about building a strong squad with a clear vision, and it seems like the club doesn’t have that at the moment."
The 36-year-old also took aim at the club’s leadership, suggesting that they are more interested in lining their own pockets than investing in the team. "The greed and selfishness of some people at the club is unbelievable," he said. "They’re more interested in making money out of the club than actually trying to win something, and it’s a sad state of affairs."
Mido’s comments are likely to raise eyebrows in North London, where fans are increasingly frustrated with the club’s lack of progress and poor decision-making. Despite spending heavily in recent years, Tottenham has failed to win a major trophy since 2008, and the team’s inconsistency has led to a sense of disillusionment among the fan base.
As the debate around Tottenham’s direction and leadership continues to rage on, Mido’s comments are likely to spark a significant reaction. While some fans may agree with his assessment, others will inevitably defend the club’s decision-making and look to the future with hope. One thing is certain, however: the weight of responsibility for the club’s misfortunes will continue to fall squarely on the shoulders of the fans, who will be waiting with bated breath for a return to the glory days of music from the Lane.
