by Jack Hussey
Rule The Roost is a Spurs podcast where proper football man-isms meet arthouse pretension. Every Monday, Jack’s joined by a guest to wrestle with whatever state Tottenham are in – from match discussions to transfer talk and identity to existential dread. Thursdays are for Q&As, your chance to ask serious (or not) questions. And after every match, there’s a solo pod recorded on the final whistle: unfiltered, emotional, and usually involving Jack crying about Ledley King (and now Son Heung-min too). If you like your football chat somewhere between pub preacher and quasi-intellectual, you’ll probably get on with this. Expect plenty of pop-culture references too.

With the domestic season officially at an end, Jack is joined by Jon Bass to celebrate a massive weekend of collective relief across North London following Arsenal’s defeat in the Champions League final. Drawing a definitive line under a chaotic campaign, the lads look ahead to a pivotal summer under Roberto De Zerbi. We dive straight into the breaking transfer news that dropped this morning regarding Tottenham's declined opening bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, contrasting it with highly positive updates on our moves for Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson. Jack and Jon closely analyse the tactical profiles of both Van Hecke and Senesi, questioning what their technically accomplished but less physically imposing styles tell us about De Zerbi's footballing vision for next season. We also tackle the growing transfer rumours linking Spurs with Bournemouth's Alex Scott, confronting the dilemma of whether bringing in the boyhood Tottenham fan makes sense given his overlapping profile with Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall. Finally, the show wraps up by looking ahead to the rapidly approaching World Cup, debating whether the international excitement is finally starting to build.

With Premier League survival officially secured, Jack sits down with Sean Connell, Editor of The Sponsor, to digest the sobering commercial reality facing the club hierarchy. Unpacking the data from the newly released Premier League Fair Market Sponsorship Values 2026 report, the pair discuss the massive 40% collapse in Tottenham’s front-of-shirt sponsorship value, which has dropped to £29.8m following consecutive 17th-place finishes and a total loss of European exposure. With the club entering the final year of its deals with AIA and Kraken, Sean explains the potential uphill battle the commercial team faces in a fiercely competitive post-gambling market - but it's not all doom and gloom. The conversation takes a "fork in the road" look at what a Championship relegation would have done to our sponsorship inventory, and evaluates how heavily our identities as a London heritage brand, our stadium assets, and our NFL partnership insulate us from on-pitch rot. Jack and Sean also dive into the fascinating concept of the "franchise player"—debating whether chasing a globally recognised name like Marcus Rashford is a viable commercial necessity to instantly claw back the brand value lost when Kane and Son departed. Finally, they look ahead to the summer priorities, evaluating recent statements from Peter Charrington and Vinai Venkatesham and where Tottenham's priorities should lie going forward.

With the season finally behind us, Jack is joined by Baker from the Above Average FPL podcast for a comprehensive, no-holds-barred Tottenham Hotspur squad audit. Following the sheer relief of surviving a second consecutive 17th-place finish, the lads take the opportunity to ruthlessly analyse exactly where the club has gone wrong over the past couple of years. Going player-by-player through the Premier League first-team squad and factoring in the promising youngsters returning from loan spells, Jack and Baker make the tough, necessary calls on who to keep, who needs a loan, and who must be binned this summer. The conversation then turns to the rebuild, outlining exactly what the hierarchy needs to do in the upcoming transfer window to properly back Roberto De Zerbi and ensure Tottenham never find themselves in this perilous position again.

Jack is joined by Gavin for the Thursday Q&A, and the atmosphere is noticeably lighter now that Tottenham Hotspur have officially stayed up and this gruelling season is finally over. The pair kick things off by reacting to the incredible footage of Roberto De Zerbi looking towards the South Stand in full voice after Premier League survival was confirmed. We discuss the genuine glimmer in the manager's eye, debating whether he has truly realised the sheer size of the club and the great things he could achieve here if given the right platform. Attention then turns to the boardroom and the desperately needed cultural reset promised by CEO Vinai Venkatesham. Analysing his latest, brutally honest club interview—where he openly acknowledged the deep-rooted, "embarrassing" issues that caused this disastrous patch—Jack and Gavin question whether fans can actually believe his promises to fix the club, or if these are simply more hollow words from the hierarchy to pacify the fanbase. Finally, the lads dive into a massive selection of your listener questions. We evaluate the reported shrewd, zero-fee investments in Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, asking if fans should be encouraged by the early business or deeply concerned that the recruitment targets feel remarkably similar to previous windows. With the same personnel who have overseen our recent recruitment failures seemingly still running the show, we debate what tangible actions this summer would actually convince the fanbase that ENIC have changed and that Tottenham are genuinely moving in the right direction.

Jack is joined by The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke for a monumental episode of Rule the Roost, as we finally breathe a massive sigh of relief: Tottenham Hotspur have stayed up. We kick things off by discussing the bittersweet nature of our survival, admitting that while we shouldn't really be celebrating avoiding the drop, the sheer emotional release makes it impossible not to. The conversation quickly shifts to the magnificent job done by Roberto De Zerbi. Having spoken to him in recent press conferences, Jack Pitt-Brooke shares his firsthand reflections on the manager's immense emotional intelligence. We dissect how De Zerbi managed to take a squad that looked completely dead in the water and turn them into a combative, resilient unit for the final stretch, and ask the golden question: has this late surge inspired the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven to actually stay and fight next season? Attention then turns to the boardroom, as we unpack the open letter issued to fans today by non-executive chairman Peter Charrington. Reacting to his promises to address the deeply rooted issues that led to consecutive seventeenth-placed finishes, we debate whether his vow to compete at the very top once again provides genuine cause for optimism or if it is simply more cheap talk from the hierarchy. Finally, we look ahead to a pivotal summer, outlining exactly what the club needs to do to achieve that promised success and setting our realistic, grounded aims for next season.

WARNING: This episode contains an unfiltered, emotional and deeply cathartic discussion about the state Tottenham Hotspur currently find themselves in. If you’re after a clean-cut rallying cry ahead of the weekend, this probably isn’t the energy you need right now. But if you’re feeling drained, furious, disconnected, bewildered, or simply need to hear a couple of Spurs fans say out loud what so many of us are thinking, then this one might hit home. Jack and Phil unpack absolutely everything as best they can: Arsenal’s title win, Tottenham’s long-term decline, the club’s failure to properly back Mauricio Pochettino, the obsession with commercial growth over football, fans increasingly being treated like “the problem”, the Everton game, the very real fears around where this all goes next, and how it’ll feel when the dust finally settles, whatever happens. It’s an honest attempt to make sense of a football club that currently feels completely broken. This one is angry. It’s emotional. It’s passionate. It’s raw. It pulls absolutely no punches.

Jack is joined by Billie T to dissect yet another miserable defeat at Stamford Bridge, kicking things off by trying to make sense of the latest refereeing controversy. With images clearly showing the ball was in play for the penalty that wasn't given, we vent our frustrations at the officials before confronting the harsh reality of our own underlying numbers. Spurs once again displayed a total lack of quality upfront and in the final delivery. This leads into a painful discussion about Randal Kolo Muani, debating whether he will go down as one of our worst ever signings and what his failure says about the utter lack of care in our recent scouting and transfer policy. Attention then turns to Sunday and the terrifying prospect of the biggest game of our lives against Everton. Knowing we only need a single point to secure survival, we discuss the sheer dread of relying on our rotten home form against a competent side. We examine the recent statement from Change for Tottenham calling for total support for 90 minutes followed by a clear message of discontent towards the owners, before asking whether executives like Johan Lange and Vinai Venkatesham should be sacked immediately if we stay up, or if that would set the rebuild back even further. Finally, Billie tackles a brilliant and bleak selection of the listener questions we managed to squeeze in. We explore coping strategies for a doomsday summer scenario, debate if the club's culture is genuinely beyond repair, ask whether keeping Johan Lange makes relegation inevitable next season, pitch an alternate reality television show where Tottenham are actually functional, and wonder which retired players could genuinely do a better job leading our line right now.
