Apply Within - Tottenham Stoop to New Low With LinkedIn Job Advert

Sorry Spurs Look to the Public for Answers

Tottenham have confounded even the most logic-driven football fans, experts and pundits this season. Dismal performances across the board, inexplicably poor home form, yet more manager changes and, to top it off, the staggering possibility that the Champions League runners-up in 2019 could be sent down to England’s second tier in five games' time.

Ange Postecoglou’s Europa League trophy couldn’t save them; Thomas Frank couldn’t save them and, although the sample size is small, all the signs are pointing to De Zerbi falling into the same bracket. Let’s not beat around the bush – Spurs are currently favourites to go down alongside Wolves and Burnley.

Naturally, the club has had to start thinking outside the box in order to come up with solutions. However, we very much doubt that the answer to their problems is going to come from the depths of LinkedIn, where Tottenham have posted a job advert for a lead psychologist to work directly with the first team.

Meditation not Relegation

It’s no secret that for a big side to be flirting with Championship football next season, the mentality around the club has to be significantly off.

There have been signs since last season's 17th-place finish in the league, but these rumblings from both fans and players were papered over by the fact that Postecoglou led them to their first piece of major silverware in almost 20 years.

However, with no such success falling into their laps this year, the Tottenham squad have let their winning mindsets slowly but surely slip away and now have reached the point where they look unlikely to ever win again.

Dressing room rumblings and snide media comments, such as Mathys Tel’s shockingly critical statement in the wake of Thomas Frank’s sacking, only further hinted at the discontent and steady chasm growing between the players and the club vision, and over the course of the 2026 campaign, this has widened to the point where the club and the players are viewed as completely separate entities, with countless fans stating that many of them should never play for the club again.

🗣️ Mathys Tel on Thomas Frank:

"I disagreed with him on my role within the team, and he didn’t like me for it. He didn’t look to try and fix things.”

As such, the club have taken the leap and decided to hire a new psychologist in a bid to get the dressing room pulling in the same direction, as well as helping the squad deal with scrutiny and criticism, of which there has been plenty, more appropriately.

However, they haven’t gone through the usual channel of drawing up a list of top candidates and contacting them all individually – instead, they are letting the shortlist create itself, opening the role up to the public by posting the job opening on LinkedIn of all places.

Though we are sure that eventually this process will throw up a viable candidate, the North London outfit is guaranteed to receive countless troll applications, either advising the club on how to do their job properly or simply taking the mickey and making a genuine application with absolutely zero qualifications.

Though I’m sure Spurs have their reasons for operating in this way, jobs that work directly with the first team are rarely, if ever, posted on public job forums, and to the naked eye, all it highlights is the level of desperation that is increasingly infecting every level of the club.

Spurs have five games to save their campaign, and hiring one lead psychologist likely won’t have that much of an impact on their end-of-season destination. However, one thing the club absolutely doesn’t need is to be sifting through thousands and thousands of fake, incomplete, or critical job applications in a bid to find a genuine contender.
