Spurs are an odd one. They are a very well run club from a financial point of view. Their problem is that Levy doesn't understand football. In terms of the gap between strategy and coaching, their approach of signing younger players who will develop and then appointing Mourinho and Conte (coaches who have made a career of short tenure/ experienced top class players) is about the best example I can think of.
