What has happened to Spurs since the 2019 Champions League final? The London side were arguably the better of the two when they met Liverpool in June, despite the Reds taking the trophy home, and since then, nothing seems to have gone right.

After a poor start to the season, Mauricio Pochettino was sacked, paving the way for former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to take the driving seat, but things haven't really got any better. Battling to stay in the top half of the league, and already eliminated from the Champions League, should Spurs have hired you instead?

Give Tottenham the opporunity to hit the reset button, taking them back to before the start of the 19/20 season, and allow them to hire you as manager. This is your chance to prove you and your management skills could have kept Spurs towards the top end of the league where they should be.

Maybe it's more support for Harry Kane that you need, or maybe a quiet word with Eric Dier to tell him not to go fighting in the stands. Admittedly that second one may be difficult in a simulation, but you get the idea. Keep Spurs in the top four and still playing in the latter stages of the Champions League.
