Spurs Squad Worries, Levy Reality Check & Kane’s Strange Interview
With the new season fast approaching, we take a hard look at Tottenham’s squad depth and where the concerns really lie. Is there any point still getting angry about the way Daniel Levy and ENIC run the club, or is this simply who they are?
We also talk through Harry Kane’s “exclusive” interview on the Spurs website and why it was such an odd move from the club, even if it didn’t exactly wind us up.
We also look ahead to the UEFA Super Cup final against PSG and why there’s every reason to stay hopeful, even with the odds stacked against us.

Son’s Tears, Shark Fears & Yet More Transfer Woes (Q&A)
It’s Thursday Q&A time and The Fighting Cock's Flav returns for a fun packed episode.
Opening with that emotional farewell from Sonny, what does it mean for the team, the dressing room, and Spurs’ identity moving forward? Has some of the star factor gone with him?
Then it’s onto the transfer window. Another frustrating summer? Maybe. But is it just the usual Levy cycle or are we all guilty of forgetting just how much has already been spent?
Plus, Flav fields your questions, including:
– Would he rather swim with sharks or eat a fermented one?
– Which Sonny goal does he wish he’d scored and how would he celebrate it?
– And... has he finally sent out those Patreon badges?
New theme music is Ghost Cat by Gillen, and you might’ve spotted the fresh new podcast art too.

Farewell Son Heung-min: A Tottenham Legend Says Goodbye
After nearly a decade of brilliance, Son Heung-min has officially announced his departure from Tottenham Hotspur. Jack is joined by Gavin to pay tribute to one of the greatest players to ever wear the lilywhite shirt.
We revisit the emotional farewell in Seoul and reflect on the unforgettable highs of his Spurs career. From that solo goal against Burnley and running past half the Chelsea team at Wembley, to lifting the Europa League as club captain. We also dive into his iconic partnership with Harry Kane, the records they smashed, and the legacy they leave behind.
Plus, we read your favourite Son memories and stories, an overwhelming outpouring of love for one of the all-time Spurs greats.
Cheers Son's crying - I'm crying - you're crying.

Spurs Win Another Trophy - Paul O Keefe (Q&A)
With Spurs tasting glory once more, this time at the hands or arch-rivals Arsenal in the Hong Kong Festival of Football, spirits were high... almost high enough to put behind us the Morgan Gibbs White saga.
But to talk over the deal that never was, Jack is joined by Tottenham's man in the know, Paul O Keefe - who not only dives into the MGW deal, but gives an additional perspective on Levy and the inner workings at Spurs.
He also answers your questions, everything from bombas that never materialised to what he likes best on a sunday roast.
If you've enjoyed the pod and you're not already a subscriber, then why not consider dropping a follow - and if you're feeling especially generous, a rating and a review.

Bloody Marinakis
He may well have scuppered our deal for Morgan Gibbs White, but why haven't Spurs been proactive elsewhere? It feels like the same old story yet again up in ENIC towers.

About Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur Podcast
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.
Up the Spurs.
