Every Monday, Jack’s joined by a guest to wrestle with whatever state Tottenham are in – from match discussions to transfer talk and identity to existential dread. Thursdays are for Q&As, your chance to ask serious (or not) questions. And after every match, there’s a solo pod recorded on the final whistle: unfiltered, emotional, and usually involving Jack crying about Ledley King (and now Son Heung-min too). If you like your football chat somewhere between pub preacher and quasi-intellectual, you’ll probably get on with this. Expect plenty of pop-culture references too. Up the Spurs.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-27T02:19:59.134489+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554"},"episode":{"title":"Spurs On The Brink | Chelsea's Managerial Bounce, Van de Ven Rumours & Relegation Snobbery (Q&A)","slug":"spurs-on-the-brink-chelsea-s-managerial-bounce-van-de-ven-rumours-relegation-snobbery-q-a","published_at":"2026-04-23T15:58:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554/spurs-on-the-brink-chelsea-s-managerial-bounce-van-de-ven-rumours-relegation-snobbery-q-a","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG2498207071.mp3?updated=1776960019","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG2498207071.mp3?updated=1776960019","summary":"Jack is joined by Phil to dive into another incredibly tense week for Tottenham Hotspur, kicking things off by examining the sheer chaos over at Chelsea. With Liam Rosenior sacked, we question whether a dreaded new manager bounce could derail our survival hopes, and ask if Spurs are now the canary in the coal mine for massive clubs completely losing their way. Staring down the barrel of the Championship, we also look at Leicester City's terrifying double drop down to League One as a something we shouldn't think we're too big for. Focus then shifts to the boardroom, unpacking the exclusive news that Sebastian Kehl is the leading candidate to become the new director at Tottenham. We ask why on earth he is supposedly being brought in to work alongside Johan Lange, rather than replacing him entirely, and what the mixed reaction from Borussia Dortmund fans means for our rebuild. The conversation then turns to the rumours surrounding Micky van de Ven. Following reports that the defender is actively making arrangements to leave the club, we debate whether our survival hopes demand dropping a player who clearly has one eye on the exit door. Looking ahead, we preview the absolute do-or-die fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers, stressing just how crucial it is to finally break our psychological hoodoo against them. Finally, we tackle a massive listener Q&A, covering everything from the club's desperate, belated search for a lead psychologist, to deciding whether Destiny Udogie is worth keeping, and facing a horrifying binary choice regarding Arsenal's trophy hopes versus our own Premier League survival.
