Dan Kilpatrick

I'm Kate Mason.

Joining me today are James Moore, Jack Pitbrook and Dan Kilpatrick.

Coming up on the show, another defeat, this time to Aston Villa.

Where does Deserby go from here? And what next for Spurs after the international break? I'm not sounding very beautiful this morning.

This is What If, where we discuss the biggest sliding doors moments in football and look at how different life might be on an alternative timeline.

This week, we're asking what if the European Super League never failed? Well, with me in the studio today is The Athletic's Dan Kilpatrick.

Hello.

Hello.

It's going to take us so long.

Um, like Dan Kilpatrick was saying when he covered on the pod when I was ill, was just saying that, yeah, Spurs have spent a lot this season, but they're just trying to catch up again now.

Spurs spending hundreds of millions of pounds now isn't Spurs jumping their way to the front of the queue.

This is Spurs joining the back of the queue again.

Hi.

We welcome back Dan Kilpatrick.

Hello.

Lovely to see you, Dan.

I'm Kate Mason.

Joining me today are James Moore, Elias Burke, and Dan Kilpatrick.

On today's show, we're going to discuss another goalless afternoon, this time against Everton, the Richarlison situation, and Liverpool coming up in the Carabao Cup.

Hello, everybody.

This is What If, where we discuss the biggest sliding doors moments in football and look at how different life might be on an alternative timeline.

This week we're asking what if Wayne Rooney crossed the Manchester divide and joined Manchester City? Well, with me in the studio today is The Athletic's Dan Kilpatrick.

Hello.

Welcome along.

Football's on all season long on ESPN and streaming on the ESPN app.

But then again, it's kind of like, actually, is that money spent more like money that's going to turn us, and this is a point I'm stolen from Dan Kilpatrick, who sat in the chair, in the rule the roost chair and covered while I was sick.

Is the money spent actually really more about turning Tottenham into a half decent Premier League team again? A team that, fingers crossed, won't be finishing 17th again.

Is it going to take another wave of investment on top of that to make Spurs a very top team again? But I'm not...

I wouldn't like to think that people thought I was kind of holding back too much.

And obviously like at the moment without Danny Kelly, so it's kind of incumbent on me and Dan Kilpatrick to kind of provide the outrage of what's been happening at Spurs.

So yeah, like I said, I wouldn't like to think that it felt like I was holding back too much.

I mean, there's a fine line between self-editing and demanding that Romero gets sacked after a game, isn't there? I guess.

I, I just, I think I got a lot of heat for this.

I produced a podcast about the Lange with, um, I did it with Dan Kilpatrick a while back.

Yeah.

And people said it's way too soon, and I understand that.
