It’s still not clear what Spurs plan to do when it comes to finding a new manager, but it doesn’t look like Ryan Mason is doing enough to earn the job on a permanent basis.
There’s also the question of a potential overhaul with speculation about the future of some of their big names, but it’s an appointment that Daniel Levy simply has to get right.
