I know this may seem kneejerk to some and ridiculous to others but I guess the situation with how I feel about supporting Spurs is compounded by other things in my life. I've supported Spurs for 35 years and I go to games every year when I can get tickets. I take my kids and they love going to the stadium and singing all the songs and essentially having free license to shout as much as they want.
But supporting Spurs isn't a walk in the park as you all know and I'm finding I don't really enjoy watching us. I don't find it entertaining. On the contrary I find it stressful and anxiety inducing and when we win I'm in a good mood and when we lose it affects me more than I'd like it to. I listen to the podcasts in the hope of hearing some optimism about our future, I read the transfer rumours in the hope of having some exciting news about a new player that can help our cause. But it all seems more and more toxic, divisive and pessimistic. The last few months of the season have not been fun and I feel every match is another moment when I'm going to be let down. I don't blame the players or Ange, I'm very much Ange In because I believe in what he's trying to achieve.
But I've stepped over to the dark side and accept that this is all on Levy. We will likely sack Ange, even though I would want him to have a proper opportunity to bring success and we'll move onto the next manager without properly supporting him with the players necessary to do the job and in 18 months he'll be sacked too. I think after 35 years of supporting the club and going to games I will decide to just stop.
I just feel like I'd prefer not to support any club if it's going to make me feel this way. Is it possible to stop supporting Spurs?
Sorry for the long post but I don't have many other outlets aside from here
