In this episode, the Tottenham Hotspur's under-21 team's fate was discussed. Initially, they were set to be relegated, but they received good news that they will no longer be relegated. The new format for the league will have one division that encompasses all 25 category A clubs, with 21 fixtures plus a playoff. The league will start off regional and then move on to one or two others based on a seeding system. Tottenham Hotspur's under-21 team will be able to keep their London Derbies against West Ham, Arsenal, and Chelsea, and will not have to travel long distances to places like Middlesbrough and Sunderland. The club was disappointed about the prospect of relegation, as seen by the emotional speech delivered by Lucas to the players after the final game. The players were also worried about the long journeys they would have to make if they were relegated. Overall, the news that they will not be relegated was a positive development for Tottenham Hotspur's under-21 team.The episode also touched upon the topic of improving the atmosphere within the stadium. The hosts discussed their own opinions on how to improve the atmosphere. One host suggested that scoring more goals would improve the atmosphere, while another host pointed out that the atmosphere is a two-way street and that the players need to play attacking football to get the fans involved. The hosts agreed that a connection between the team and the fans is necessary to improve the atmosphere, and that if the team plays a brand of football that the fans can get behind, the atmosphere will improve. The hosts also mentioned that the club is doing small things to improve the atmosphere, such as allowing a group of fans to sing together in the south stand and having groups with flags. However, they emphasised that the main factor in improving the atmosphere is the connection between the team and the fans.Another topic discussed in the episode was the practice of asking young players to train with the senior squad at short notice. It was mentioned that some academy boys had done a full session with the academy and were getting ready to go home when they were told with only five minutes notice that they were up with Conte and the senior squad. This practice was criticised as being potentially dangerous and unfair to the young players who were already exhausted from the full session they had just completed. It was also mentioned that Conte had a reputation for providing the schedule for the next day's training at the last minute, which added to the lack of planning and pressure on the young players. In contrast, it was noted that Joe Say with the youth team was better than Conte in this regard, as he gave young players the opportunity to train with the first team and even gave debuts to some of them. Overall, the episode highlighted the dangers and potential negative effects of asking young players to train with the senior squad at short notice.

Welcome to another episode of an Echo of Glory. No Jake this week so we hand a debut to... Jake and hear some amazing training ground revelations from reporter Paul Belverstone. The doughnut gets a mention too, obvs.

Could the addition of young player Alfie Dorrington be the spark Tottenham Hotspur needs to revitalize their team? We sit down with Jake Sanders, Assistant Sports Editor of The Sun, to discuss the implications of Dorrington's potential, as well as the impact of the new all-white kit on the team's fortunes. With a focus on Tottenham's youth development and sales plan, we analyze the prospects of moving players like Dombele, Rodon, and Winx to make room for new talent, and ponder whether European clubs will be willing to pay for them.

We also take a closer look at the challenges that new Spurs manager might face in the coming season. From navigating the soap opera surrounding Harry Kane's future to building a new style of football and team, we discuss the importance of Kane remaining focused on his job at Spurs and the potential for a cup run. Tune in as we explore the resources available to Tottenham, the impact of not having European football for squad players, and the potential benefits of having Alfie Dorrington as a backup player over options like Sanchez or Dyer.

Finally, Jake gives us an insider's perspective on the possible changes under Postecoglou's management, including differences in training schedules compared to Antonio Conte's methods. We also consider the atmosphere shift at press conferences since Postecoglou's appointment and the possibility of a more positive outlook for the team.
