This is just not going to go down well for any of us Spurs fans. Just another thing for other fans to mock us about.

Having said that, what if this is all part of a plan? Like the Salford documentaries, they always make me laugh. OH NO THE CLUB HAS LOST A GAME, WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF NOT GETTING PROMOTED WE ARE ONLY 2ND 1 POINT BEHIND WITH 6 GAMES IN HAND.

Perhaps we are going for a dramatic approach, watch us go unbeaten now for the rest of the year and end up winning the CL or something.:wtf:

So have they been filming since the start of the season or are they just starting?

I have a feeling this is going to be very very negative for the club, regardless of our season.

No, I don’t believe so. The Bayern game is definitely not in it, there were no cameras there. I don’t know if this is due to it starting after or just it being refused (Utd refused cameras for City’s game at Old Trafford). The Athletic is suggesting a lot of it will be based around a January rebuild, which would play into the all or nothing title, but I think this is speculation

Saw today confirmed that Liverpool allowed Amazon cameras into the dressing rooms so yesterday’s game will be in the documentary (Utd refused for City’s game). Brilliant

Rather pointed as Liverpool apparently turned down the Amazon offer last year for them to be the focus, which is why there was a gap in the series. According to The Athletic, Klopp said no immediately and Liverpool respected his decision.

Because of course they did. But sure, come in and film Spurs making tits of themselves, after you...

Poch allowed Balague to follow him about and publish his personal diarised thoughts, so I'm not convinced by any protests that may come from him.

This would be excellent, as it would make us actually fucking do something in a January window...

You’d have thought he would have learned. The book had a detrimental impact upon the team, in my opinion.

Considering how private the club is (after all, we don't exactly have a camera-friendly board), and how much they've tightened up and seem to dislike leaks and players talking to the media, I'd be surprised if this was something they've done for a quick buck. It would either have to be an obscene amount of money, have some sort of bearing on something bigger (like stadium naming), or is being influenced by Poch.

I'm not sure if I would put it past a manager to really push for such a thing when their team is doing well (seeing it as a promotional opportunity for themselves), only to renege on that when it started to look like it might do the opposite.

Great for the club commercially unless it ends in total embarrassment. However there’s absolutely nothing about this that can possibly be positive in terms of on the pitch, it can only be neutral or a hindrance.

Oh I agree. Poch’s been trying to build his own legend before he had anything to build on. That book was a terrible idea, as embarrassing as any DVD bantz, and I agree, I don’t think he has the self awareness to have said no to Levy.

We must be on episode two or three by now? This will be the cliffhanger.

Episode 4 begins with Eriksen lamenting Poch's reign and thanking him for everything, then fades to Mourinho driving down Hotspur Way grinning.

We know Poch loves Game of Thrones. Perhaps he's portraying the Mad Queen Danaerys, hence the mental quotes we're seeing from him of late.

These kind of documentaries never usually end well for the club or paint in a positive light...

If it is anything like the Sunderland one, I wonder who will be our Jack Rodwell?

There always has to be a cartoon villain.

KWP, turns out he's the John Terry in our squad and he's been banging everyone's wife's :ROFLMAO: or Harry Winks, the quiet ones are always the worst.

I imagine it will be very, very beige. I will, of course, still watch every second but I really don't understand why people care so much. The important thing from the manager's point of view is that he doesn't come across like Rodgers did in the Liverpool one a few years ago which I still think follows him to this day.

It won’t be, it’s Spurs, so it will be comical, and meme central. That’s why people care. We will be ridiculed, more than we already are.

Rodgers seems to be doing ok. At least he waited till he’d won something to write a book about how great he is

Do you honestly think the club will let that happen ? - not a chance

It’s literally happened to every club who’s ever had a documentary made about them. Even City came off badly and they won the league, a cup and broke numerous records.

Spurs won’t have final edit, as City didn’t, they’ll just get to veto commercially sensitive stuff. It’s sure to be illuminating but probably for the wrong reasons as we are in total disarray.

Given how our club works I would be surprised if there is not a high level of creative control - that is what I am saying.

If City didn’t get it, with their whole impossibly funded sportswashing PR operation, we won’t. And they had successful things to focus on. Right now, internal drama is about the only thing that would make it watchable.
