In the third part of our Q&A on Spurs, our news reporter Nizaar Kinsella tries to put his finger on the concept of culture at Tottenham and why this club in particular is criticised over not being able to win trophies.
Francis asked: What do people mean, specifically, when they say there's no winning DNA at Tottenham? Is it player culture, staff culture, the medical team? Very few teams win things, even fewer win regularly, but this is commonly pointed at Tottenham in a way it isn't at other clubs.
Nizaar answered: I've always been told by high achievers in football at other clubs that you must first go close to winning before actually crossing the line.
The concern with Tottenham is they were close under Mauricio Pochettino but have let that ebb away, chasing the winning DNA with Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho, all the while disconnecting from the fans by abandoning a style of football fans wanted.
For a time, Ange Postecoglou looked to be the man to tie it together but look further away than ever. The longer you go without winning a trophy, the harder it gets and many in that squad have never won silverware.
When you meet footballers, the vast majority of them go their entire careers without winning a trophy and Spurs trying to break that cycle is the hardest thing to achieve in the sport - in the toughest league in the world.
Alex asked: With a succession of successful managers who have not won anything at Spurs, is the problem that it's too comfortable and lacks a winning culture with average players?
Nizaar answered: For all I have said about the medical reasons, the manager and the ownership, I also think the players deserve scrutiny. Particularly, there remain questions about whether the leadership group consists of strong enough winners or whether Spurs are just not quite talented enough to win.
It is also fair to say the recruitment in the summer around young players may have seen Spurs take one step back to take two steps forward.
Having met a lot of the Spurs players in my decade in football, there are clearly a lot of wonderful, honest and ambitious people involved. The young players seem extremely talented, but it just has not come together for a winning culture.
