I still don't get how Spurs got an invite to the Super league?
If they get this next appointment wrong, they might not get an invite when it happens next time. They're a club on the slide.
Because if you’re going to invite Arsenal anyway, why not make It interesting for their fans by creating a sort of sad excitement around the question of whether they’ll finish above Spurs or not?I still don't get how Spurs got an invite to the Super league?

It's straightforward. Follow the money. That's what it was all about.
Wait what
Fair point
Cheers mate but I was just being sarcastic.
Sacked the best manager they've had in years and hired a sour past it has been. Who was then sacked for being generally rubbish, played crap football and gets a 30m pay off.
No money, need a new manager and a squad in need of some major updates bordering on a complete overhaul.
Things aren't looking great for Spurs.

No worries. I have to keep checking that Spurs "deserved" a place myself! They don't seem like a top-10 club by revenue, but I guess they are.
They should have stuck with Jose for another year or two no matter how much damage he did, I think most of it was already done.
Just highlights the debt they owe Pochettino for making them relevant these last 5 years or so. They get into that top 10 because they play in the PL. If clubs like West Ham or Everton or Newcastle could have a sustained push for top 4 places for 3-4 years, I'm pretty sure they would be displacing Spurs from that list.
Nah, they should never have hired him. They were in need of some new players, not a new manager with an opposing style to the man he replaced.
If he were to stay for another year or two, he would eventually be sacked anyway. They would have a worse squad with more older players on stupid money and ultimately be in worse shape than they are now.
Perez reached the last entry in his rolodex.I still don't get how Spurs got an invite to the Super league?

I agree, it was a ridiculous idea hiring him.
You forgot £2bn debt and Son/Kane surely wanting out.
Spurs are so stupid.
Letting Poch go was the first mistake. He was growing with the club but they wanted Mourinho for some daft reason.
Then when they have Mourinho, who is a man that knows his way around a final, they sack him right before one and give the job to a guy that is young enough to be playing in the match and has zero managerial experience.
And their squad at one time looked really good. But they didn't build on it and now are stuck with bums like Winks, Aurier and Sanchez
If Kane or Son leave next year, I can seriously see them bottom half of the table.

We're not getting @GlastonSpur back for a long long time are we?
Guy must be fluent in all the languages of the Indian subcontinent by now.
I could understand them hiring Poch as all the news out of the camp was that he'd burnt out the players. I think he just came to the end of his cycle there.Spurs are so stupid.

The mistake was hiring Mourinho when Ancelotti was available.
लैड्स, यह स्पर्स है। इसके अलावा, पनीर कमरा कहाँ है?
Regardless of the next appointment, Spurs are going down hill. They'll never be able to replace Kane and Son with players who put on similar numbers. They have signed several attackers since then and all have been a massive step down from both. They didn't manage to replace Eriksen probably, Ndombele and Lo Celso are a big step down from him. They didn't manage to replace Dembele and Wanyama. They won't be able to replace Kane and Son either. Once these two get past it/leave, Spurs are done for.

Ranked 14th on the UEFA club coefficient index, used to be consistent top four and only recently been to the CL final - more than what can be said about United.
They're a good side, one of the many that need to get over Jose.
Wait what
Haha. I'd be amazed if this isn't back on the table in 2-3 years. The 12 clubs scored a massive political own goal with how they delivered it. In their minds, that was their mistake, not the concept.
I agree but if the Super League happened, they would have been cemented as one of the top 12-15 clubs globally. Just by pure weight of financial power.
If they continue to slide, they could be well outside that and not even considered when it comes around again.
Timing is everything. If the Super League happened 20-30 years ago, a breakaway group of 12 teams would have had 2-3 English teams rather than 6.
Take Kane out and see what happens. They’ll fall out of top 30 clubs of Europe. Which I believe will happen next season. The squad has reached its collective end
Highly unlikely given the top 30 includes clubs like Besiktas, Benfica, Leverkusen, Zenit, Basel etc.
Worst case scenario if they don’t spend the 100m+ they get from selling Kane is a slow decline to top 6 / Everton levels. Top four days are probably done if Kane leaves.
Where did the United comparison come from? United are 8th in the same coefficients and will finish ahead of Spurs 3 out of last 4 seasons.
We are not back to where we want to be but are clearly a solid top 10 team in Europe again

They are the 9th richest club in world football, above Juventus, Arsenal, Dortmund, Athletico Madrid, Inter etc. As others have said it is all about the $$$.
How come manager don't have to serve one month notice?
Football isn't like real life.
Not investing was the first mistake I guess. They spent all their fortunes on that stadium which was delayed and delayed and then, after Poch had made them a fighting team, made no proper investments. Everything went into a downward spiral after that.
I think that bar Kane and Son, Tottenham are a very ordinary team. Having said that, we can't simply debate how poor they'd be without their main pieces. If Kane were to leave, they would have an enormous lump-sum to replace him with. That would be the better comparison.
Brendan Rodgers would cruise to top 4 with their current squad.
Bale, Doherty and Alli all got the famed Jose spoiled brat treatment - 'If you don't play well in the one or two chances I give you, then you're on the bench for the rest of the season!'

Yeah I just see them being a Europa League team again if Kane and Son leave. But Spurs generally reinvest that money in the squad, Bale money for example. And they go out and buy young exciting talent, squad could do with a bit of an overhaul to be honest, Kane and Son sales would guarantee that.
He's still on the books, being paid. He's just been relieved of his duties.
They lack a commanding centreback...someone like Vidic. And midfield centre...Someone like Roy Keane.
That’s unlikely seeing as Leicester have a better team than Spurs. Aside from Kane and Son I don’t really think Spurs would get another player into that Leicester team.
Well, Bale and Alli are bigger stars than most of Leicester's players. And some like Lucas Moura or Alderweld are considered solid players too.
I think some people overrate that Leicester squad but yeah, no question for me they have a better side than Spurs.
Bale is finished and Alli has always been overrated. I also don’t see how stardom can be used to justify on field selections. Leicester have some very good players and know how to function as a unit.
Ffs. As an Indian I can tell you, it's the first time in my life I've heard the phrase " Paneer Kamra" as you right it.
