we got this

lel

Batter them Bournemouth

IT'S THE HISTORY OF THE TOTTENHAM

Spuds gonna fuck up my bet

>>150484832 (OP)

SPUDS ARE BACK
SPUDS ARE BACK
SPUDS ARE BACK
AND THEY'RE NEVER GONNA GO AWAY AGAIN

JUST REMEBER, OUT THERE SOMEWHERE SILVERWARE, 2 DECADES AWAY AGAIN

(repeat verse)

(To the tune of Cock Sparrer's we're coming back again)

WTF why do Bournemouth look so good?

is footybite fucked for anyone else?

>>150485174
Why would you bet on a team which has weakened since finishing 17th?

Bournemouth have a new fan

>>150485260
All my streams are fucked

wtf already a goal
lmao never change tottenham

Getting absolutely battered here

Thomas Fra-ACK

stream pls

Spence is such a shit player

What's the var in the Burhley game?

>>150485324
Porro Johnson and Romero have beeb worse so far

bournemouth should be at least 3 up now

>>150485324
i think he's quite good generally

VDV and Spence both hitting the same animation at the same time

Why is Johnson so bad at everything except tap ins

>>150485413
I think the problem is that Johnson and Kudus are doing NOTHING to help in the pressure.

>>150485684
Johnson doesnt do much outside tap inside, Richarluson falling over too easily

Richarlison looks like shit

Get Big Dom on

>>150485774
Not even on the bench, might be injured

pigeon commander playing like absolute shite so far

does Johnson not look up when making interceptions??? If I was in the stadium I would be looking to my side and wondering if there's a hidden camera. That's how shit they are being. Did they win ar Ciry and think "ha, well season is over lol"

Johnson + Richarlison stinker
Palinha + VDV masterclass

sarr's barely had a touch

Do you think the Spurs players are nervous playing in front of Simons

What an awful first half. Play like CL winners against City and back to playing like shit again.

>>150485960
Spurs quality is inversely proportional to whatever team they're facing

I said it before in the other thread and I'll say it again: Brennan Johnson is rubbish and not top 4 standard.

The whole midfield is rubbish too outside the DM. I've been banned multiple times on Spurs forums for correctly pointing out that Bentancur actually isn't that good, and isn't remotely damaging.

>>150486004
Palinha is better at doing everything Bentancur usually does, so he's pretty wasted on the field.

would like to see how many times richarlison gave the ball away in that half

Half time black vaginas and tits

>>150486055
This but also Johnson

>>150486004
How's retirement, Ange?
Too soon to judge on Raphina, agree BJ is poor not seen enough on Bentacur due to injuries and racism

surely they can only go up from here, right?

>>150486099
>Too soon to judge on Raphina
who?

>>150486137
Palinha auto correct

Frank tactical masterclass incoming

chickenball fcbros...

>>150486130
They have 0 shots. It would be shocking if second half isn't an improvement.

No Solanke on the bench is a bit of a disaster considering the circumstances. A guy like that would be perfect for Spurs right now.
Going to have to hope the young boys Odobert and Tel can get things done, cause it certainly ain't coming from Johnson and Richarlison.
They also need a real midfielder on lol. At least try Gray over Potato Bentancur.

>>150486165
You rank Solanke?

>>150486099
>Bentacur
i've never seen a player with such a strong adherence to playing it safe. this guy absolutely hates being bold, and loves nothing more than a simple back pass.

>>150486227
That gets said about a lot of midfielders, Winks got unfairly slated for it. Personally I liked PEH

>>150486227
Cause he's been injured and crunched so many times now he fears bravery

>le makes no half time changes manager
had enough of this

wonder what big club is gonna waste excess amounts of money on semenyo

>>150486376
if spuds were smart, they would. he's clearly 100 times better than brennan johnson

I thought Kudus could become the new Mbeumo
But he's just the fat arsed nig part

Saw some mong in /epl/ the other day claiming to be a Spurs fan, he said that Ange hated Bissouma

Spurs spursing spursy spurs

I miss Ange's first 10 games

Why do people not believe Vicario is a world-class keeper?

frank out

>>150486499
because he's prone to the yips at times. he's a very nervy gk but not totally terrible

>>150486499
So you're saying he's on the level of alisson, donnarumma, raya and courtois? Time to put the joint down.

>>150486499
Let him prove that he is one

BENTANCUR YOU USELESS CUNT

When you ask Spurs to break you down, they can't do it

unreal how bad spurs are playing today
every time they go forward it's like they all have cerebral palsy

See how shit Bentancur is? Too scared to be bold with any play he makes.

forgot xavi is there watching this shit. gives me extreme secondhand embarrassment

>>150486684
Now imagine how embarrassed he felt when the only club on the planet which wanted him was Spurs

How can they win vs Manchester City but struggle with Bournemouth? Is Bournemouth just better than MC?

>>150486736
i'll never understand why decent players want to join >us. so many less soul-destroying options out there.

wtf did they mean by this?

might go for a poo

vicario you had no right to be screaming there. that was all you bro

Good that I made at least a bet in Bundesliga, so those shitters from Tottenham won't make me lose my money entirely...

>>150486772
Because Man City play possession and Spurs pressed high and played on the counter. Bournemouth are sitting back and giving Spurs the initiative and then snuffing all their initiatives out.

Ppl will scapegoat Richarlison for this, but the real problem is the midfield. Just terrible 2bh.
Sarr and Bentancur have been there for years and they've never been much good. Time to move on.

>>150486889
I thought everybody in Premier League plays possession.

SHOT ON TARGET
SHOT ON TARGET
SHOT ON TARGET

SPUDS ARE SHITE

>1 shot
>0.00 xG

did someone forget to sort out Frank with his uppers or what?

Bournemouth's pressing is superhuman. This team could easily win the Conference league without trying if they were allowed in it.

This is so ass. 1 shot on target at 68 mins.

>>150486896
He did lose the ball a lot, only saving grace has been Vicario. We already know Porro can't defend. Miss Michael Dawson so much

kind of just pulling for Bournemouth to score again so I can stop watching

Honestly played better against Bournemouth when >we only had 9 men all 2nd half 6 years ago or so

Maybe Liverpool weren't shit after all in that game, maybe Bournemouth are just insanely good

still pooing lads what am i missing?

SPENCE YOU FUCK. WHY ARENT YOU MAKING SOME SORR OF MOVE TO OPEN SPACE FOR KUDUS TO PASS OR SOMETHING JESUS.

0-5 of it wasn't for Vicario.
Shocking game.

Begvall absolutely anticipated that shit pass lmao

SAVE ME, BERGVALL

Bournemouth about to sit back and end up dropping points after dominating?

>>150487190
Exactly like the away fixture last year

It's okay this is why we signed Simons

Haha Odobert is so shit.

Why isn't this twink starting every match?

Bournemouth is finally gassed out

how are Tottenham fans feeling that they got absolutely outplayed at home - by a ransacked Mememouth who should be three nil up ?

>>150487325
>beat man city last week
>international break coming
i fully expected expected it

>play like shit
>don't change anything

frank is a fraud

I've decided that Kudus rarely passes it quick enough

>>150487395
porro was getting roasted by semenyo, i thought taking him off, moving spence over and sticking udogie on was sensible

>>150487490
Tel in wasn’t sensible nor bentacurr

Get Madders on with his crutch

Buy West Ham players, get West Ham results.

>>150487520
tel will score the equaliser

>>150487395
>be Thomas Frank
>look at bench to change the game
>Solomon no knees jew
>Davies and Danso
>>>>tel that has done nothing for Spurs

fuck that would have been sweet

Well at least you signed the player no fucker else wanted
A black that even Chelsea wouldn't pay up for. LMAO!

Season over.
100% no way they are doing anything with this squad. This is what happens when you don't turn it over quickly enough and hang onto junk like Bentancur and Sarr.

>>150487835
>Season over
hysterical little mong

Best players today have been Vicario, and Bergvall despite himonly being on for about half an hour. >We're fucking shit

>>150487632
I just mean he should have changed the formation or something

At least I won't have listen to people calling richarlison good.

>>150487866
Nah you're an idiot who never learns. Same deal as every other season, there is always that one result that confirms nothing has changed.
You cannot play this diabolically bad and recover. Too many problems. Too many hopeless players.

The title race is over. Frank out.

>>150487987
idiot child

>>150488105
>no argument
No problem idiot.
I've probably been watching footy since before you were born.

>>150488128
time for bed son you've got yourself all worked up over nothing

>>150488314
I'm more than happy to keep correctly labeling you an idiot who doesn't know much about football :)

>>150488101
I don't think >we were ever in the title race, but Bergvall should have come on sooner, Porro off for Udogie, although I get why they didn't want to rush him back from injury, and Johnson had no call being played

>>150488706
Spurs aren't even in the top 4 race.
15 shots to 0 after 60 minutes on your home deck playing Bournemouth. Miles off.

Your Bournemouths, your Brightons

Is this real?

>>150488940
the aussie's right. it's so over.
xavi simons does not fix this. there is a huge deficiency in midfield.

Ange died for this

>>150488402
>city lose to us
>liverpool lose to forest
>we lose to bournemouth
URRGGHHH SEASON OVER
you are an idiot child

>>150486943
agreed, bournemouth's style of play is perfect for it, but they won't finish higher than 8th in the league this year
some teams just have a way of playing that works against middling foreign sides, as west ham proved in 2023

IT'S JUST WHO WE ARE MATE

>>150488974
I mean Spurs finished 17th last season, EL was nice and all but the league is the best indicator on where a team is at. It will take several seasons to fix this unless you have a miracle season like Leicester.

>>150507876
Short memory or young? Redknapp turned around Spurs pretty quickly, from relegation contender to top 4.
Chelsea went from 10th place and a measly 50 points in 15/16 to winning the title with a massive 92 points in 16/17.

There is no rule that says rebuilds or turnarounds must take X amount of time. The problem Tottenham have is that their midfield is rubbish, but the players they have there seem to have a big reputation. Bentancur and Sarr are not top 4 standard, let alone title winning standard,
Palhinha was a solid addition, but nowhere near enough. Losing the shot count 0-16 on your home deck at the hour mark means there is a serious failure in midfield.

>>150496309
No, you're an idiot.
It's less about the result and more about the manner of the result.
16 shots to 0 after an hour. Midfield completely and utterly incapable of dealing with a hot press. This squad is completely hopeless and cannot be fixed short-term.

Why wouldn't it be? Spurs lost a shocker.

What you mean Spurs couldn't win against fucking Bournemouth?
I thought they were good, /sp/ has reminded me daily that they won the prestigious Europa League

>>150627493
There are multiple reasons, but the main one is failure in midfield. Bentancur and Sarr just aren't good enough, and can't handle a hot press.

>>150485124
This.

>>150485892
He's just not that good.

>>150485911

Simons won't fix the major problems.

Why is one Aussie constantly bumping this week+ old thread?

what's going on here then

I thought it was an international break right now?

I too am dedicated to bumping this thread just as it hits the danger zone

might make a 2nd when it fills up, not decided yet

Reminder that boreball aka poverty ball aka soccer is an inferior sport to NFL football. NFLChads will be running /sp/ for the next 6 months and there is nothing you eurocucks can do about it. Enjoy your 1-0 games and players flopping like fish on the ground after minimal contact. I will enjoy shitting up the entire board with my NFL game threads and shitposts.

>>150688850
Is your little domestic sport on for its annual 3 months out of the year, sandwiched between 9 months of mindless witterings such as 'dude we need to heckin sign Lafauntay Jackson, the best tight end out there bro'?

wtf?

Spurs still haven't scored!

Igor Jesus

why do i keep seeing this thread bumped stop reminding me

xG status?

10 (TEN) - 1 (ONE, OWN GOAL)

remember when bournemouth defeated tottenham 0-1?

Why the fuck is this still up

>>150699638
Because Spurs fans are still convinced Bentancur is a world class midfielder.

JEWELS REMAIN STILL GLEAMING

This thread is the last living fragment of Daniel Levy's reign as Spurs Chairman.

What's this all about

Ange out

Have Spurs registered a shot on target yet?

Spurs have just lost their biggest supporter.

Can spuds win anything now that Levy is gone?

the legacy of this match will live on forever

Still can't believe Tottenham got schooled so hard by Bournemouth.

Jannies auto-saged my Georgia NT match thread that was actually a significant event and was up for less time

Tottenham might have won against West Ham, but they still lost to Bournemouth and couldn't register a shot after 60 minutes.

What's going on here then

It shows how dead /sp/ is that mongs find it hilarious to bump a two-week old thread so it doesn't fall off the board. What a fucking joke.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commonly referred to as simply Tottenham (/ˈtɒtənəm/,[2][3] TOT-ən-əm, /tɒtnəm/, TOT-nəm) or Spurs, is a professional football club based in Tottenham, North London, England. The club itself has stated that it should always be called "Tottenham Hotspur" or "Spurs", as Tottenham is the area of London and not the name of the club.[4] It competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The team have played their home matches in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since 2019, replacing their former home of White Hart Lane, which had been demolished to make way for the new stadium on the same site.

>>150812533
Founded in 1882, Tottenham Hotspur's emblem is a cockerel standing upon a football, with the Latin motto Audere est Facere ("to dare is to do"). The team have traditionally worn white shirts and navy blue shorts as their home kit since the 1898–99 season. Their training ground is on Hotspur Way in Bulls Cross, Enfield. After its inception, Tottenham won the FA Cup for the first time in 1901, the only non-League club to do so since the formation of the Football League in 1888. Tottenham was the first club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960–61 season. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition – the European Cup Winners' Cup.[5] They were also the inaugural winners of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. They collected at least one major trophy in each of the six decades from the 1950s to 2000s, an achievement matched only by Manchester United.[6][7]

>>150812536
Originally named Hotspur Football Club, the club was formed on 5 September 1882 by a group of schoolboys led by Bobby Buckle. They were members of the Hotspur Cricket Club and the football club was formed to play sports during the winter months.[10] A year later the boys sought help with the club from John Ripsher, the Bible class teacher at All Hallows Church, who became the first president of the club and its treasurer. Ripsher helped and supported the boys through the club's formative years, reorganised and found premises for the club.[11][12][13] In April 1884 the club was renamed "Tottenham Hotspur Football Club" to avoid confusion with another London club named Hotspur, whose post had been mistakenly delivered to North London.[14][15] Nicknames for the club include "Spurs" and "the Lilywhites".[16]

>>150812546
Initially, the north London side played games between themselves and friendly matches against other local clubs. The first recorded match took place on 30 September 1882 against a local team named the Radicals, which Hotspur lost 2–0.[17] The team entered their first cup competition in the London Association Cup, and won 5–2 in their first competitive match on 17 October 1885 against a company's works team called St Albans.[18] The club's fixtures began to attract the interest of the local community and attendances at its home matches increased. In 1892, they played for the first time in a league, the short-lived Southern Alliance.[19]

>>150812555
The club turned professional on 20 December 1895 and, in the summer of 1896, was admitted to Division One of the Southern League (the third tier at the time). On 2 March 1898, the club also became a limited company, the Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Company.[19] Soon after, Frank Brettell became the first ever manager of Spurs, and he signed John Cameron, who took over as player-manager when Brettell left a year later. Cameron would have a significant impact on Spurs, helping the club win its first trophy, the Southern League title in the 1899–1900 season.[20] The following year Spurs won the 1901 FA Cup by beating Sheffield United 3–1 in a replay of the final, after the first game ended in a 2–2 draw. In doing so they became the only non-League club to achieve the feat since the formation of The Football League in 1888.[21]

>>150812559
In 1908, the club was elected into the Football League Second Division and won promotion to the First Division in their first season, finishing runners-up. In 1912, Peter McWilliam became manager; Tottenham finished bottom of the league at the end of the 1914–15 season when football was suspended due to the First World War. Spurs were relegated to the Second Division on the resumption of league football after the war, but quickly returned to the First Division as Second Division champions of the 1919–20 season.[22]

>>150812571
On 23 April 1921, McWilliam guided Spurs to their second FA Cup win, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1–0 in the final. After coming second to Liverpool in the league in 1922, they would finish mid-table in the next five seasons, being relegated in the 1927–28 season after McWilliam left. For most of the 1930s and 1940s, Spurs languished in the Second Division, apart from a brief return to the top flight in the 1933–34 and 1934–35 seasons.[23]

>>150812575
Former Spurs player Arthur Rowe became manager in 1949. Rowe developed a style of play, known as "push and run", that proved to be successful in his early years as manager. He took the team back to the First Division after finishing top of the Second Division in the 1949–50 season.[24] In his second season in charge, Tottenham won their first ever top-tier league championship title when they finished top of the First Division for the 1950–51 season.[25][26] Rowe resigned in April 1955 due to a stress-induced illness from managing the club.[27][28] Before he left, he signed one of Spurs' most celebrated players, Danny Blanchflower, who won the FWA Footballer of the Year twice while at Tottenham.[29]

>>150812578
Bill Nicholson took over as manager in October 1958. He became the club's most successful manager, guiding the team to major trophy success three seasons in a row in the early 1960s: the Double in 1961, the FA Cup in 1962 and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1963.[30] Nicholson signed Dave Mackay and John White in 1959, two influential players of the Double-winning team, and Jimmy Greaves in 1961, the most prolific goal-scorer in the history of the top tier of English football.[31][32]

>>150812582
The 1960–61 season started with a run of 11 wins, followed by a draw and another four wins, at that time the best ever start by any club in the top flight of English football.[33] The title was won on 17 April 1961 when they beat the eventual runner-up Sheffield Wednesday at home 2–1, with three more games still to play.[34] The Double was achieved when Spurs won 2–0 against Leicester City in the final of the 1960–61 FA Cup. It was the first Double of the 20th century, and the first since Aston Villa achieved the feat in 1897.[35] The next year Spurs won their consecutive FA Cup after beating Burnley in the 1962 FA Cup final.[36]

>>150812589
On 15 May 1963, Tottenham became the first British team to win a European trophy by winning the 1962–63 European Cup Winners' Cup when they beat Atlético Madrid 5–1 in the final.[37] Spurs also became the first British team to win two different European trophies when they won the 1971–72 UEFA Cup with a rebuilt team that included Martin Chivers, Pat Jennings, and Steve Perryman.[38] They had also won the FA Cup in 1967,[39] two League Cups (in 1971 and 1973), as well as a second place league finish (1962–63) and runners-up in the 1973–74 UEFA Cup. In total, Nicholson won eight major trophies in his 16 years at the club as manager.[30]

>>150812594
Spurs went into a period of decline after the successes of the early 1970s, and Nicholson resigned after a poor start to the 1974–75 season.[40] The team was then relegated at the end of the 1976–77 season with Keith Burkinshaw as manager. Burkinshaw quickly returned the club to the top flight, building a team that included Glenn Hoddle as well as two Argentinians, Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricardo Villa, which was unusual as players from outside the British Isles were rare at that time.[41] The team that Burkinshaw rebuilt went on to win the FA Cup in 1981 and 1982[42] and the UEFA Cup in 1984.[43]

>>150812597
The 1980s was a period of change that began with a new phase of redevelopment at White Hart Lane, as well as a change of directors. Irving Scholar took over the club and moved it in a more commercial direction, the beginning of the transformation of English football clubs into commercial enterprises.[44][45] Debt at the club would again lead to a change in the boardroom, and Terry Venables teamed up with businessman Alan Sugar in June 1991 to take control of Tottenham Hotspur plc.[46][47][48] Venables, who had become manager in 1987, signed players such as Paul Gascoigne and Gary Lineker. Under Venables, Spurs won the 1990–91 FA Cup, making them the first club to win eight FA Cups.[49]

Tottenham was one of the five clubs that pushed for the founding of the Premier League, created with the approval of The Football Association, replacing the Football League First Division as the highest division of English football.[50] In February 2001, Sugar sold his shareholding in Spurs to ENIC Sports plc, run by Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy, and stepped down as chairman.[51] Lewis and Levy would eventually own 85% of the club, with Levy responsible for the running of the club.[52][53] Despite a succession of managers and players such as Teddy Sheringham, Jürgen Klinsmann and David Ginola, for a long period in the Premier League until the late 2000s, Spurs finished mid-table most seasons with few trophies won. They won the League Cup in 1999 under George Graham, and again in 2008 under Juande Ramos. Performance improved under Harry Redknapp with players such as Gareth Bale and Luka Modrić, and the club finished in the top five in the early 2010s.

>>150812608
After Redknapp left, Mauricio Pochettino was appointed head coach, who was in the role between 2014 and 2019.[54] Under Pochettino, with new stars such as academy graduate Harry Kane and Korean import Son Heung-min, Tottenham solidified their position as part of an emerging group of clubs known as the Big Six.[55][56] Spurs finished second in the 2016–17 season, their highest league finish since the 1962–63 season, and advanced to the UEFA Champions League final in 2019, the club's first, where they ultimately lost to Liverpool 2–0.[57][58][59] The club's home games during the last few seasons of Pochettino's tenure were played at Wembley Stadium while the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was constructed.[60]

>>150812615
Pochettino was dismissed after a poor start to the 2019–20 season and was replaced by José Mourinho, who was head coach from November 2019 to April 2021.[61][62] His successor, Nuno Espírito Santo, lasted just four months.[63] The next manager, Antonio Conte, guided Spurs to fourth during the 2021–22 season and back to a Champions League place.[64] After exiting both the Champions League and FA Cup, he departed the club by mutual agreement in March 2023.[65][66] In February 2023, Harry Kane displaced Jimmy Greaves as the club's all-time record goalscorer before leaving Spurs at the end of the season for Bayern Munich.[67]

>>150812619
Ange Postecoglou took over as head coach on 1 July 2023[68] and the club qualified for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League after a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.[69] The next season, the club ended their 17-year trophy drought by winning the 2025 Europa League final with a 1–0 victory over Manchester United.[70] They did, however, finish only 17th in the Premier League, their worst league campaign in the Premier League era, which resulted in Postecoglou's sacking.[71] Thomas Frank was brought in as a replacement.[72]

On 4 September 2025, the club announced Daniel Levy had stepped down as executive chairman and was succeeded by Peter Charrington, who holds the role in a non-executive capacity.[73]

Spurs played their early matches on public land at the Park Lane end of Tottenham Marshes, where they had to mark out and prepare their own pitch.[10] Occasionally fights broke out on the marshes in disputes with other teams over the use of the ground.[74] The first Spurs game reported by the local press took place on Tottenham Marshes on 6 October 1883 against Brownlow Rovers, which Spurs won 9–0.[75] It was at this ground that, in 1887, Spurs first played the team that would later become their arch rivals, Arsenal (then known as Royal Arsenal), leading 2–1 until the match was called off due to poor light after the away team arrived late.[76]

>>150812655
As they played on public parkland, the club could not charge admission fees and, while the number of spectators grew to a few thousand, it yielded no gate receipts. In 1888, the club rented a pitch between numbers 69 and 75 Northumberland Park[77] at a cost of £17 per annum, where spectators were charged 3d a game, raised to 6d for cup ties.[78] The first game at the Park was played on 13 October 1888, a reserve match that yielded gate receipts of 17 shillings. The first stand with just over 100 seats and changing rooms underneath was built at the ground for the 1894–95 season at a cost of £60. However, the stand was blown down a few weeks later and had to be repaired.[79] In April 1898, 14,000 fans turned up to watch Spurs play Woolwich Arsenal. Spectators climbed on the roof of the refreshment stand for a better view of the match. The stand collapsed, causing a few injuries. As Northumberland Park could no longer cope with the larger crowds, Spurs looked for a larger ground and moved to the White Hart Lane site in 1899.[80]

In 1901, spectators at Tottenham games began engaging in post-match circle jerks[81][82] thus starting a long-held tradition among fans of the club that continues to this day (as of 2024)[82][83].

>>150812662
The White Hart Lane ground was built on an unused plant nursery owned by the Charrington Brewery and located behind a public house named the White Hart on Tottenham High Road (the road White Hart Lane actually lies a few hundred yards north of the main entrance). The ground was initially leased from Charringtons, and the stands they used at Northumberland Park were moved here, giving shelter for 2,500 spectators.[81] Notts County were the first visitors to 'the Lane' in a friendly watched by 5,000 people and yielding £115 in receipts; Spurs won 4–1.[82] Queens Park Rangers became the first competitive visitors to the ground and 11,000 people saw them lose 1–0 to Tottenham. In 1905, Tottenham raised enough money to buy the freehold to the land, as well as land at the northern (Paxton Road) end.[81]

>>150812693
After Spurs were admitted to the Football League, the club started to build a new stadium, with stands designed by Archibald Leitch being constructed over the next two and a half decades. The West Stand was added in 1909, the East Stand was also covered this year and extended further two years later. The profits from the 1921 FA Cup win were used to build a covered terrace at the Paxton Road end and the Park Lane end was built at a cost of over £3,000 some two years later. This increased the stadium's capacity to around 58,000, with room for 40,000 under cover. The East Stand (Worcester Avenue) was finished in 1934 and this increased capacity to around 80,000 spectators and cost £60,000.[81]

>>150812699
Starting in the early 1980s, the stadium underwent another major phase of redevelopment. The West Stand was replaced by an expensive new structure in 1982, and the East Stand was renovated in 1988. In 1992, following the Taylor Report's recommendation that Premier League clubs eliminate standing areas, the lower terraces of the south and east stand were converted to seating, with the North Stand becoming all-seater the following season. The South Stand redevelopment was completed in March 1995 and included the first giant Sony Jumbotron TV screen for live game coverage and away match screenings.[83] In the 1997–98 season the Paxton Road stand received a new upper tier and a second Jumbotron screen.[83] Minor amendments to the seating configuration were made in 2006, bringing the capacity of the stadium to 36,310.[81]

>>150812704
By the turn of the millennium, the capacity of White Hart Lane had become lower than other major Premier League clubs. Talks began over the future of the ground with a number of schemes considered, such as increasing the stadium capacity through redevelopment of the current site, or using the 2012 London Olympic Stadium in Stratford.[84][85] Eventually the club settled on the Northumberland Development Project, whereby a new stadium would be built on a larger piece of land that incorporated the existing site. In 2016, the northeast corner of the stadium was removed to facilitate the construction of the new stadium. As this reduced the stadium capacity below that required for European games, Tottenham Hotspur played every European home game in 2016–17 at Wembley Stadium.[86] Domestic fixtures of the 2016–17 season continued to be played at the Lane, but demolition of the rest of the stadium started the day after the last game of the season,[87] and White Hart Lane was completely demolished by the end of July 2017.[88]

>>150812711
In October 2008, the club announced a plan to build a new stadium immediately to the north of the existing White Hart Lane stadium, with the southern half of the new stadium's pitch overlapping the northern part of the Lane.[89] This proposal would become the Northumberland Development Project. The club submitted a planning application in October 2009 but, following critical reactions to the plan, it was withdrawn in favour of a substantially revised planning application for the stadium and other associated developments. The new plan was resubmitted and approved by Haringey Council in September 2010,[90] and an agreement for the Northumberland Development Project was signed on 20 September 2011.[91]

>>150812724
After a long delay over the compulsory purchase order of local businesses located on land to the north of the stadium and a legal challenge against the order,[92][93] resolved in early 2015,[94] planning application for another new design was approved by Haringey Council on 17 December 2015.[95] Construction started in 2016,[96] and the new stadium was scheduled to open during the 2018–19 season.[97][98] While it was under construction, all Tottenham home games in the 2017–18 season as well as all but five in 2018–19 were played at Wembley Stadium.[99] After two successful test events, Tottenham Hotspur officially moved into the new ground on 3 April 2019[100] with a Premier League match against Crystal Palace which Spurs won 2–0.[101] The new stadium is called Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while a naming-rights agreement is reached.[102]

An early training ground used by Tottenham was located at Brookfield Lane in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. The club bought the 11-acre ground used by Cheshunt F.C. in 1952 for £35,000.[103][104] It had three pitches, including a small stadium with a small stand used for matches by the junior team.[105] The ground was later sold for over £4 million,[106] and the club moved the training ground to the Spurs Lodge on Luxborough Lane, Chigwell in Essex, opened in September 1996 by soon-to-be Prime Minister Tony Blair.[107] The training ground and press centre in Chigwell were used until 2014.[108]

>>150812734
In 2007, Tottenham bought a site at Bulls Cross in Enfield, a few miles south of their former ground in Cheshunt. A new training ground was constructed at the site for £45 million, which opened in 2012.[109] The 77-acre site has 15 grass pitches and one-and-a-half artificial pitches, as well as a covered artificial pitch in the main building.[110][111] The main building on Hotspur Way also has hydrotherapy and swimming pools, gyms, medical facilities, dining and rest areas for players as well as classrooms for academy and schoolboy players. A 45-bedroom players lodge with catering, treatment, rest and rehabilitation facilities was later added at Myddleton Farm next to the training site in 2018.[112][113] The lodge is mainly used by Tottenham's first team and Academy players, but it has also been used by national football teams – the first visitors to use the facilities at the site were the Brazilian team in preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[114]

>>150812739
Since the 1921 FA Cup Final, the Tottenham Hotspur crest has featured a cockerel. Harry Hotspur, after whom the club is named, was said to have been given the nickname Hotspur as he dug in his spurs to make his horse go faster as he charged in battles,[115] and spurs are also associated with fighting cocks.[116] The club used spurs as a symbol in 1900, which then evolved into a fighting cock.[115] A former player named William James Scott made a bronze cast of a cockerel standing on a football at a cost of £35 (equivalent to £4,610 in 2023), and this 9-foot-6-inch (2.90 m) figure was then placed on top of the West Stand at the end of the 1909–10 season.[115] Since then the cockerel and ball emblem has become a part of the club's identity.[117] The club badge on the shirt used in 1921 featured a cockerel within a shield, but it was changed to a cockerel sitting on a ball in the late 1960s.[116]

Between 1956 and 2006 Spurs used a faux heraldic shield featuring a number of local landmarks and associations. The castle is Bruce Castle, 400 yards from the ground and the trees are the Seven Sisters. The arms featured the Latin motto Audere Est Facere (to dare is to do).[74]

>>150812751
In 1983, to overcome unauthorised "pirate" merchandising, the club's badge was altered by adding the two red heraldic lions to flank the shield (which came from the arms of the Northumberland family, of which Harry Hotspur was a member), as well as the motto scroll. This device appeared on Spurs' playing kits for three seasons 1996–99.

>>150812757
In 2006, in order to rebrand and modernise the club's image, the club badge and coat of arms were replaced by a professionally designed logo/emblem.[118] This revamp displayed a sleeker and more elegant cockerel standing on an old-time football. The club claimed that they dropped their club name and would be using the rebranded logo only on playing kits.[119] In November 2013, Tottenham forced non-league club Fleet Spurs to change their badge because its new design was "too similar" to the Tottenham crest.[120]

In 2017, Spurs added a shield around the cockerel logo on the shirts similar to the 1950s badge, but with the cockerel of modern design.[121] The shield was however removed the following season.

The first Tottenham kit recorded in 1883 included a navy blue shirt with a letter H on a scarlet shield on the left breast, and white breeches.[122] In 1884 or 1885, the club changed to a "quartered" kit similar to Blackburn Rovers after watching them win in the 1884 FA Cup Final.[123] After they moved to Northumberland Park in 1888, they returned to the navy blue shirts for the 1889–90 season. Their kit changed again to red shirt and blue shorts in 1890, and for a time the team were known as 'the Tottenham Reds'.[124] Five years later in 1895, the year they became a professional club, they switched to a chocolate and gold striped kit.[74]

GOAL FOR BOURNEMOUTH

>>150812807
In the 1898–99 season, their final year at Northumberland Park, the club switched colours to white shirts and blue shorts, same colour choice as that for Preston North End.[125] White and navy blue have remained as the club's basic colours ever since, with the white shirts giving the team the nickname "The Lilywhites".[126] In 1921, the year they won the FA Cup, the cockerel badge was added to the shirt for the final. A club crest has featured on the shirt since, and Spurs became the first major club to have its club crest on the players shirt on every match apart from the war years.[127] In 1939 numbers first appeared on shirt backs.[74]

>>150812816
In the early days, the team played in kits sold by local outfitters. An early supplier of Spurs' jerseys recorded was a firm on Seven Sisters Road, HR Brookes.[78] In the 1920s, Bukta produced the jerseys for the club. From the mid-1930s onwards, Umbro was the supplier for forty years. In 1959, the V-neck shirt replaced the collared shirts of the past, and then in 1963, the crew neck shirt appeared (the style has fluctuated since).[128] In 1961, Bill Nicholson sent Spurs players out to play in white instead of navy shorts for their European campaign, starting a tradition which continues to this day in European competitions.[129]

we were played off the park by bournemouth, it cant be denied, the tactics, the energy it was all wrong, frank got it wrong
but now we have a couple more good players in with xavi and kolo and have battered west ham away im optimistic and now see this thread as a reminder to keep level headed

>>150812833
You think beating plodders like West Ham proves anything?

The loss against Bournemouth painted a very grim picture because Spurs didn't register a shot for 60 minutes on their home deck. Complete and utter inability to deal with a high press. If a rematch happened today, Bournemouth win 9 times out of 10.

Xavi Simons and Kolo Muani do not offset this. The problem is the terrible midfield.

>>150812822
In 1977, a deal was signed with Admiral to supply the team their kits. Although Umbro kits in generic colours had been sold to football fans since 1959, it was with the Admiral deal that the market for replica shirts started to take off.[130] Admiral changed the plain colours of earlier strips to shirts with more elaborate designs, which included manufacturer's logos, stripes down the arms and trims on the edges.[130] Admiral was replaced by Le Coq Sportif in the summer of 1980.[131] In 1985, Spurs entered into a business partnership with Hummel, who then supplied the strips.[132] However, the attempt by Tottenham to expand the business side of the club failed, and in 1991, they returned to Umbro.[133] In 1991, the club was the first to wear long-cut shorts, an innovation at a time when football kits all featured shorts cut well above the knee.[74]

>>150812943
Umbro was followed by Pony in 1995, Adidas in 1999, Kappa in 2002,[74][134] and a five-year deal with Puma in 2006.[135] In March 2011, Under Armour announced a five-year deal to supply Spurs with shirts and other apparel from the start of 2012–13,[136][137] with the home, away and the third kits revealed in July and August 2012.[138][139] The shirts incorporate technology that can monitor the players' heart rate and temperature and send the biometric data to the coaching staff.[140] In June 2017, it was announced that Nike would be their new kits supplier, with the 2017–18 kit released on 30 June, featuring the Spurs' crest encased in a shield, paying homage to Spurs' 1960–61 season, where they became the first post-war-club to win both the Football League First Division and the FA Cup.[141] In October 2018, Nike agreed a 15-year deal reportedly worth £30 million a year with the club to supply their kits until 2033.[142]

>>150812948
Shirt sponsorship in English football was first adopted by the non-league club Kettering Town F.C. in 1976 despite it being banned by the FA.[143] The ban was soon lifted and the practice spread to the major clubs when sponsored shirts were allowed on non-televised games in 1979, and then on televised games from 1983.[140][144] In December 1983, after the club was floated on the London Stock Exchange, Holsten became the first commercial sponsor logo to appear on a Spurs shirt.[145]

>>150812955
When Thomson was chosen as kit sponsor in 2002 some Tottenham fans were unhappy as the shirt-front logo was red, the colour of their closest rivals, Arsenal.[146] In 2006, Tottenham secured a £34 million sponsorship deal with internet casino group Mansion.com.[147] In July 2010, Spurs announced a two-year shirt sponsorship contract with software infrastructure company Autonomy said to be worth £20 million.[148] A month later they unveiled a £5 million deal with leading specialist bank and asset management firm Investec as shirt sponsor for the Champions League and domestic cup competitions for the next two years.[149][150] Since 2014, AIA has been the main shirt sponsor, initially in a deal worth over £16 million annually,[151][152] increased to a reported £40 to £45 million per year in 2019 in an eight-year deal that lasts until 2027.[153][154] In 2023, Tottenham provisionally agreed a three-year shirt sponsorship deal with South Africa Tourism (SAT) starting in 2023/24 and ending in the 2026/27 season.[155]

>>150812958
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. became a limited company, the Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Company Ltd, on 2 March 1898 so as to raise funds for the club and limit the personal liability of its members. 8,000 shares were issued at £1 each, although only 1,558 shares were taken up in the first year.[163] 4,892 shares were sold in total by 1905.[164] A few families held significant shares; they included the Wale family, who had association with the club since the 1930s,[165] as well as the Richardson and the Bearman families. From 1943 to 1984, members of these families were chairmen of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. after Charles Robert who had been chairman since 1898 died.[166]

In the early 1980s, cost overruns in the construction of a new West Stand together with the cost of rebuilding the team in previous years led to accumulating debts. In November 1982, a fan of the club Irving Scholar bought 25% of Tottenham for £600,000, and together with Paul Bobroff gained control of the club.[48] In order to bring in funds, Scholar floated Tottenham Hotspur plc, which wholly owns the football club, on the London Stock Exchange in 1983, the first European sports club to be listed in a stock market, and became the first sports company to go public.[44][164] Fans and institutions alike can now freely buy and trade shares in the company; a court ruling in 1935 involving the club (Berry and Stewart v Tottenham Hotspur FC Ltd) had previously established a precedent in company law that the directors of a company can refuse the transfer of shares from a shareholder to another person.[167]

>>150812969
The share issue was successful with 3.8 million shares quickly sold.[168] However, ill-judged business decisions under Scholar led to financial difficulties,[163] and in June 1991 Terry Venables teamed up with businessman Alan Sugar to buy the club, initially as equal partner with each investing £3.25 million. Sugar increased his stake to £8 million by December 1991 and became the dominant partner with effective control of the club. In May 1993, Venables was sacked from the board after a dispute.[169] By 2000, Sugar began to consider selling the club,[170] and in February 2001, he sold the major part of his shareholding to ENIC International Ltd.[171]

The majority shareholder, ENIC International Ltd, is an investment company established by the British billionaire Joe Lewis. Daniel Levy, Lewis's partner at ENIC, was Executive Chairman of the club. They first acquired 29.9% share of the club in 1991, of which 27% was bought from Sugar for £22 million.[171] Shareholding by ENIC increased over the decade through the purchase of the remaining 12% holding of Alan Sugar in 2007 for £25 million,[172][173] and the 9.9% stake belonging to Stelios Haji-Ioannou through Hodram Inc. in 2009. On 21 August 2009 the club reported that they had issued a further 30 million shares to fund the initial development costs of the new stadium project, and that 27.8 million of these new shares had been purchased by ENIC.[174] The Annual Report for 2010 indicated that ENIC had acquired 76% of all Ordinary Shares and also held 97% of all convertible redeemable preference shares, equivalent to a holding of 85% of share capital.[175] The remaining shares are held by over 30,000 individuals.[176]

Between 2001 and 2011 shares in Tottenham Hotspur F.C. were listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM index). Following an announcement at the 2011 AGM, in January 2012 Tottenham Hotspur confirmed that the club had delisted its shares from the stock market, taking it into private ownership.[177]

Lewis' shares are owned by the Lewis Family Trusts. In October 2022, Lewis ceased to be a person with significant control of the club, following a reorganisation of the Trusts. The club continues to be owned by Levy and the Lewis trusts and, in the summer of 2022, ENIC intended to inject up to £150 million into the club by the issuing of new shares.[178][179] Only £100 million of shares were subscribed for and this took ENIC's shareholding up to 86.58%.[180]

>>150813004
In September 2025, Tottenham Hotspur reaffirmed its ownership status, stating that the club is not for sale. ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd—Tottenham’s majority owner—“unequivocally rejected” two preliminary takeover approaches from **PCP International Finance Limited** (led by Amanda Staveley) and a consortium fronted by Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng via **Firehawk Holdings**.[181][182] The offer period ends on 5 October 2025 under the UK's Takeover Code, allowing either bidder to submit a formal offer or withdraw.[183]

Tottenham has a large fan base in the United Kingdom, drawn largely from North London and the Home counties. The attendance figures for its home matches, however, have fluctuated over the years. Five times between 1950 and 1962, Tottenham had the highest average attendance in England.[184][185] Tottenham was 9th in average attendances for the 2008–09 Premier League season, and 11th for all Premier League seasons between 1992–93 and 2010–11.[186] In the 2017–18 season when Tottenham used Wembley as its home ground, it had the second-highest attendance in the Premier League.[187][188] It also holds the record for attendance in the Premier League, with 83,222 attending the North London derby on 10 February 2018.[189] Historical supporters of the club have included such figures as philosopher A. J. Ayer.[190][191] There are many official supporters' clubs located around the world,[192] while an independent supporters club, the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust, is recognised by the club as the representative body for Spurs supporters.[193][194]

Historically, the club had a significant Jewish following from the Jewish communities in east and north London, with around a third of its supporters estimated to be Jewish in the 1930s.[195] Due to this early support, all three chairmen of the club since 1984 have been Jewish businessmen with prior history of supporting the club.[195] The club no longer has a greater Jewish contingent among its fans than other major London clubs (Jewish supporters are estimated to form at most 5% of its fanbase), though it is nevertheless still identified as a Jewish club by rival fans.[196] Antisemitic chants directed at the club and its supporters by rival fans have been heard since the 1960s, with words such as "Yids" or "Yiddos" used against Tottenham supporters.[195][197][198]

In response to the abusive chants, Tottenham supporters, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, began to chant back the insults and adopt the "Yids" or "Yid Army" identity starting from around the late 1970s or early 1980s.[199] Some fans view adopting "Yid" as a badge of pride, helping defuse its power as an insult.[200] The use of "Yid" as a self-identification, however, has been controversial; some argued that the word is offensive and its use by Spurs fans "legitimis[es] references to Jews in football",[201] and that such racist abuse should be stamped out in football.[202]

>>150813065
Both the World Jewish Congress and the Board of Deputies of British Jews have denounced the use of the word by fans.[203] Others, such as former Prime Minister David Cameron, argued that its use by the Spurs fans is not motivated by hate as it is not used pejoratively, and therefore cannot be considered hate speech.[204] Attempts to prosecute Tottenham fans who chanted the words have failed, as the Crown Prosecution Service considered that the words as used by Tottenham fans could not be judged legally "threatening, abusive or insulting".[205]

is it time for /YID/ to discuss all things kosher

>>150813077
There are a number of songs associated with the club and frequently sung by Spurs fans, such as "Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur". The song originated in 1961 after Spurs completed the Double in 1960–61, and entered the European Cup for the first time. Their first opponents were Górnik Zabrze, the Polish champions, and after a hard-fought match Spurs suffered a 4–2 reverse. Tottenham's tough tackling prompted the Polish press to write that "they were no angels". These comments incensed a group of three fans and for the return match at White Hart Lane they dressed as angels wearing white sheets fashioned into togas, sandals, false beards and carrying placards bearing biblical-type slogans. The angels were allowed on the perimeter of the pitch and their fervour whipped up the home fans who responded with a rendition of "Glory Glory Hallelujah", which is still sung on terraces at White Hart Lane and other football grounds.[206]

>>150813094
The Lilywhites also responded to the atmosphere to win the tie 8–1. Then manager of Spurs, Bill Nicholson, wrote in his autobiography:

A new sound was heard in English football in the 1961–62 season. It was the hymn Glory, Glory Hallelujah being sung by 60,000 fans at White Hart Lane in our European Cup matches. I don't know how it started or who started it, but it took over the ground like a religious feeling.

—Bill Nicholson[207]

AFC Bournemouth (/ˈbɔːrnməθ/ BORN-məth) is a professional association football club based in Kings Park, Boscombe, a suburb of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. The club compete in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Formed in 1899 as Boscombe, the club adopted their current name in 1971. Nicknamed "The Cherries", and commonly referred to as Bournemouth, they have played their home games at Dean Court since 1910.

>he's actually arsepained that his own club can't get a matchday thread to last this long
Shows how few fans either team has on /sp/. Imagine being proud of being irrelevant. Truly the Spuds way.

>>150815930
for me, it's this logo they had for a few seasons before people cottoned on to the hidden meaning

>>150815930
The club competed in regional football leagues before going up from the Hampshire League to the Southern League in 1920. Now known as Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, they were elected into the Football League in 1923. They remained in the Third Division South for 35 years, winning the Third Division South Cup in 1946. Placed in the newly reorganised Third Division in 1958, they suffered relegation in 1970, but would win an immediate promotion in 1970–71. Relegated back into the Fourth Division in 1975, Bournemouth were promoted again in 1981–82 and after lifting the Associate Members' Cup in 1984 would go on to win the Third Division title in 1986–87. They spent three seasons in the second tier but entered administration in 1997 and ended up back in the fourth tier with relegation in 2002, though immediately gained promotion by winning the play-offs in 2003.

>>150815999
Bournemouth entered administration for a second time and were relegated back into League Two in 2008, but ended the year by appointing Eddie Howe as manager. Under Howe's stewardship, Bournemouth won three promotions in six years to win a place in the first tier of English football for the first time in their history. This was achieved with a second-place finish in League Two in 2009–10, a second-place finish in League One in 2012–13 and a Championship title in 2014–15. The club remained in the Premier League for five seasons before suffering relegation in 2020, but they returned in 2022 as Championship runners-up, this time under the management of Scott Parker.

>>150816025
Although the exact date of the club's foundation is not known, there is proof that it was formed in the autumn of 1899 out of the remains of the older Boscombe St. John's Institute Football Club.[9] The club was originally known as Boscombe Football Club. The first president was Mr. J. C. Nutt.[10]

>>150816065
In their first season, 1899–1900, Boscombe competed in the Bournemouth and District Junior League. They also played in the Hants Junior Cup. During the first two seasons, they played on a football pitch in Castlemain Avenue, Pokesdown. From their third season, the team played on a pitch in King's Park. In the 1905–06 season, Boscombe graduated to senior amateur football.[11]

>>150816128
In 1910, the club was granted a long lease over some wasteland next to Kings Park as the club's football ground by local businessman J.E. Cooper-Dean. With their own ground, named Dean Court after the benefactor, the club continued to thrive, and dominated the local football scene. The same year the club signed its first professional player Baven Penton.[12]

>>150816161
Around about this time, the club obtained their nickname "The Cherries". There are two leading explanations of how the club gained the nickname: from the cherry-red striped shirts that the team played in, and, perhaps less plausible, because Dean Court was built adjacent to the Cooper-Dean estate, which, it is believed, may have contained many cherry trees.[13]

>>150816203
For the first time, during the 1913–14 season, the club competed in the FA Cup. The club's progress, however, was halted in 1914 with the outbreak of World War I, and Boscombe returned to the Hampshire League.[citation needed]

In 1920, the Third Division of the Football League was formed, and Boscombe were promoted to the Southern League, finding moderate success.[citation needed]

>>150816282
To make the club more representative of the district, the name was changed to Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic Football Club in 1923. During the same year, the club was elected to the newly expanded Third Division South. The first league match was at Swindon Town on 25 August 1923, which Bournemouth lost 3–1. The first league game at Dean Court was also against Swindon, where Bournemouth gained their first league point after a 0–0 draw.[citation needed]

>>150816469
Bournemouth struggled in the Football League but eventually established themselves as a Third Division club. Bournemouth remains on the records as the longest continuous members of the Third Division.[14]

As a league club, Bournemouth had to wait until after the Second World War before winning their first trophy. This was accomplished as they beat Walsall in the Third Division (South) Cup in the final at Stamford Bridge.[citation needed]

>>150816549
The club adopted the name AFC Bournemouth for the start of the 1971–72 season,[15] with the intention that the club would appear first in alphabetical lists of English clubs. Whilst also keeping the acronym AFC Athletic Football Club as part of their name[16] A year later, the club adopted a new badge as a symbol of its progress.[17] The stripes in the background were based on the club shirt, while in the foreground is the profile of a player heading the ball, in honour of Dickie Dowsett, a prolific scorer for the club in the 1950s and 1960s.[18]

>>150816584
The team's red-and-black kit, introduced in 1971, was based on the AC Milan strip.[19] This was the era of Ted MacDougall, a prolific goalscorer who, in an FA Cup tie in November 1971, scored nine goals in an 11–0 win against Margate.[20]

>>150816645
Bournemouth recorded a famous victory over holders Manchester United in the FA Cup in January 1984, while they were managed by Harry Redknapp.[21][22] The club won its second piece of silverware by winning the Associate Members' Cup in its inaugural season, beating Hull City 2–1 at Boothferry Park on 24 May 1984 in the final.[23]

>>150816703
Redknapp took Bournemouth into the second tier of the English league for the first time in their history as Third Division champions in 1987. After comfortably surviving in their first season in the Second Division, Bournemouth made a serious challenge for promotion to the top flight in the 1988–89 season; they ultimately fell away after a poor run late in the season, but their eventual finish of 12th place remained their highest-ever in the Football League until the 2013–14 season.[citation needed]

>>150816809
On 5 May 1990, the final day of the 1989–90 season, Leeds United had the chance to win the Second Division and gain promotion into the First Division by beating Bournemouth at Dean Court. Some United fans had already caused trouble in the town during the morning and the atmosphere was tense as Leeds won the match by a single goal. Combined with the results of other matches, this meant that Leeds were promoted while Bournemouth were relegated. The violence and destruction by visitors to Bournemouth continued over the holiday weekend, causing more than £1 million worth of damage and injury to opposing fans and police officers.[24] The town's Daily Echo newspaper reported that "spectators, including many young children, had to run to safety as missiles were hurled and riot police waded in to control the crowds."[24] The matter was raised in Parliament by one of the town's MPs. Financially, the Leeds trouble affected the club for more than a decade, as Bournemouth were prevented by local police from staging home games on Bank Holidays (traditionally a popular day for football) until a game against Shrewsbury Town on 21 April 2003.[citation needed]

>>150816874
Redknapp remained at the club for two more seasons, both of which ended with the club falling three points short of the play-offs. However, mounting financial pressures caused him to resign his position at the end of the 1991–92 season, and he subsequently re-joined former club West Ham United as a coach. He was replaced by Tony Pulis, who built a much cheaper squad that could only manage two consecutive 17th-place finishes before Pulis walked out of the club, blaming financial pressures.[citation needed]

>>150817000
Bournemouth went the first few months of the 1994–95 season without a permanent manager in place, and a dreadful start saw them bottom of the table for much of the first half of the season. Despite a minor upturn in form when Mel Machin was appointed as manager, they looked highly unlikely to survive, given that there were five relegation spots in Division Two for that season due to league reconstruction. However, a late run of form combined with collapses by relegation rivals Cambridge United and Plymouth Argyle saw them survive on the last day of the season by two points.[citation needed]

>>150817044
Machin ultimately remained in charge for six years, most of which were marked by unremarkable mid-table finishes. The 1998–99 season proved to be arguably the highlight of his tenure, with the club making a serious playoff challenge for most of the season, but ultimately falling short and finishing seventh. However, a drop to 16th place in the 1999–2000 season followed by a poor start to the following season saw Machin removed from his position and given the role of director of football.[citation needed]

fascinating information about bournemouth, thanks anon

>>150817094
Sean O'Driscoll was promoted from the coaching staff in place of Mel Machin at the start of the 2000–01 season. In O'Driscoll's first season as manager, Bournemouth narrowly missed out on the Division Two playoffs but were relegated a year later in the new stadium (in the early part of the 2001–02 season, they played their home matches at Dorchester Town's ground while their own stadium was being redeveloped). The board kept faith in O'Driscoll and they were rewarded with promotion via the Division Three playoffs in 2002–03. The club became the first to score five goals at the Millennium Stadium when they beat Lincoln City 5–2 in the 2002–03 Division Three play-off final with goals from Steve Fletcher, Carl Fletcher (2), Stephen Purches and Garreth O'Connor. Under O'Driscoll, Bournemouth narrowly missed out on the play-offs for the 2003–04 and 2004–05 seasons, and just avoided relegation in the 2005–06 season.[citation needed]

>>150817436
Long-serving player James Hayter scored the fastest league hat-trick in English Football League history during the 2003–04 season. The Cherries were leading 3–0 against Wrexham thanks to goals from Stephen Purches, Warren Cummings and Warren Feeney when Hayter was brought onto the field as a substitute. With 86 minutes gone, Hayter managed to net three goals in the space of two minutes and 21 seconds, making the final score 6–0 to Bournemouth.[25]

In September 2006, with the team in eighth in the League, Sean O'Driscoll left to become manager of Doncaster Rovers. He was replaced by Kevin Bond.[26]

>>150817472
In February 2008, Bournemouth were forced into administration, suffering a ten-point deduction which put them in relegation trouble. Bournemouth had debts of around £4 million and almost went out of business.[27] The off-field uncertainty continued throughout the season, with only one, ultimately unsuccessful, bid for the club accepted,[28] and the club ended the season being relegated to League Two.[29]

>>150813891
not that big. the league is the most important thing this year.

>>150817546
Ahead of the 2008–09 season, the team's future in the Football League was put into doubt when the league threatened to block Bournemouth's participation in League Two, due to problems with the club's continuing administration and change in ownership. The league ordered both Bournemouth and Rotherham United to demonstrate that they could fulfil all of their fixtures and find a way out of administration,[30] eventually allowing the club to compete with a 17-point penalty for failing to follow the Football League insolvency rules. The new company was also ordered to pay unsecured creditors the amount offered at the time of the original CVA (around ten pence in the pound) within two years.[31]

>>150817594
Early into the season, manager Bond was sacked and was replaced by former player Jimmy Quinn, who would himself leave the club only a few months later.[32] Former player Eddie Howe took over as manager with the club still ten points adrift at the bottom of the league and initially on a caretaker basis, becoming the youngest manager in the Football League at the age of 31.[33]

>>150817637
At the end of 2008, it was announced that local businessman Adam Murray had completed the purchase of 50% of the club's shares from previous chairman, Paul Baker. However, in January 2009, Murray missed the deadline to buy Baker's shares.[34]

>>150817913
In the final home game of the 2008–09 season, the Cherries guaranteed their Football League status by beating Grimsby Town 2–1 with a winning goal ten minutes from time by Bournemouth's Steve Fletcher, sparking wild celebrations after a fairytale ending to "The Great Escape." They finished their troubled season with their best away win in 30 years with a 4–0 victory at Morecambe.[citation needed]

>>150817913
In June 2009, a consortium including Adam Murry finally took over Bournemouth. The consortium included Jeff Mostyn, former vice-chairman Steve Sly, Neill Blake and former Dorchester Town chairman Eddie Mitchell.[citation needed]
