What would’ve happened at Tottenham each year if Man City didn’t break the rules

Hotspur HQ's Ben Gray examines how Tottenham Hotspur's history could have shifted following a hypothetical ruling against Manchester City for financial rule breaches between 2009 and 2018. Gray argues that Spurs were among the clubs most negatively affected by Manchester City's actions during that era, missing out on crucial Champions League qualifications and potential domestic silverware.

The piece highlights specific seasons, including fifth-place Premier League finishes in 2011, 2013, and 2015, where Manchester City's league position directly affected Tottenham. Gray also contends that Manchester City's market spending impacted later campaigns, including Tottenham's 2021 Carabao Cup final defeat.
