Lord Sugar has shared his thoughts on the current season of Tottenham Hotspur, likening his approach to the team to that of contestants on his TV show, The Apprentice. Although he no longer holds ownership in the club, Lord Sugar remains a dedicated Spurs fan, even tuning in from Florida. Following a string of disappointing results, including a loss to Aston Villa in the FA Cup, speculation has mounted around the future of manager Thomas Frank.

When asked about Frank’s potential dismissal akin to his show on the BBC, Lord Sugar expressed his frustration with the team’s performance, suggesting that a complete overhaul might be necessary. With Daniel Levy’s departure, the responsibility now falls on Joe Lewis, a billionaire, to inject substantial funds into the team to attract top talent and improve their prospects on the field.

In a recent interview with Mirror, Lord Sugar discussed Spurs while marking the 20th anniversary of The Apprentice, a show that he will continue to feature in for the next three years. The new season of The Apprentice kicks off with 20 candidates vying for Lord Sugar’s investment, starting with a challenging task in Hong Kong. Despite setbacks in the first episode, the series promises intense competition and entrepreneurial flair.

Baroness Brady, an advisor on the show, praised the diverse energy and confidence of the candidates, highlighting the evolving nature of the competition in line with the changing business landscape. As the series marks a significant milestone, the enduring success of The Apprentice showcases its ability to inspire ambition, hard work, and resilience among participants and viewers alike.

The Apprentice Series 20 premieres on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer, offering viewers a glimpse into the high-stakes world of business competition and innovation.
