Football FanCast columnist Hans Schmitz looks at the board's apparent decision not to spend big in the January window and wonders if the club should be taking such a calculated risk.

The £20m quandary that the Spurs board may face

Football FanCast columnist Hans Schmitz looks at the possible £20m quandary that could be facing the Spurs board.

I'm sure there are set to be a few butterflies in the stomach among the Spurs faithful this afternoon, as the club look to turn around a dismal week in Krakow. On paper it is by no means an easy tie, as Barcelona found to their cost a few weeks ago, and you can't help feel that should Tottenham lose this afternoon, then even more anarchy is going to rise among the natives. Many see this game as a defining moment for Juande Ramos; I just wonder if the board share this view.

Time has come for Spurs boss to give starlet his chance

Football FanCast columnist Hans Schmitz feels it time that Fraizer Campbell was given his chance.

When there is a crisis at Tottenham then it is of a massive scale and the media do all they can to exasperate the situation. They go on the hunt for interviews, try and exhume dirt from the players and more often than not get ex-managers and pros to pass judgment on the football club?

The Spurs starlet that is finally proving his doubters wrong

Football FanCast columnist Hans Schmitz looks at the one bright spark that has been shining at White Hart Lane this season.

They say life is never easy being a Spurs fan and this season has certainly proved no different. A car crash of an opening has already deflated even the most positive of Spur and we are all left to look ahead as to what we can possibly salvage from this sorry start. We never make life easy, but could Spurs fans imagine life any other way?

You may 'love him or loathe him,' but Spurs season could depend on him

Football FanCast columnist Hans Schmitz feels that Spurs success this season will ultimately depend on the performance of a certain No.4.

You may love or loathe Didier Zokora but you will always respect him. Yes he doesn't have the passing ability of Hoddle, I accept that he doesn't have the shooting boots of a Lampard, but what he gives the football club is 110% effort every week; something that certainly cannot be said for the rest of his teammates.
