Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to discuss his future with chairman Daniel Levy, and says the club must "take risks" to improve.
Spurs beat Leicester 5-4 on Sunday to secure a third successive top-three finish in the Premier League.
But the club have not won a trophy since the League Cup in 2008, and have spent less than their top-six rivals.
"If we want to be real contenders for big, big trophies, we need to review a little," Pochettino said.
"First of all, I need to speak with Daniel, then we will know what we are going to do.
"I think it's a moment the club needs to take risks and if possible work harder than the previous season to be competitive again."
Argentine Pochettino, 46, took over at Spurs in 2014 and has led the club to fifth, third, second and third-placed finishes in his four seasons.
But they have spent £184.59m on players in the past two seasons, less than Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool over the same period.
Pochettino has been linked with a move from the club and following their FA Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester United in April said the club "need more time with me or another".
This season they were knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 by Juventus.
"I think I have a very clear idea what we need to do; I don't know if the club will be agreeing with me or not," Pochettino said.
"But we are going to talk, next week, to create the new project, or what I think what we need to do, together again, to try to improve.
"That is a little bit up to Daniel of course, to the club, to be happy with us, because after four years I think we need to assess that period.
"I think Daniel is going to listen to me. But you know me and sometimes I have some crazy ideas.
"In this type of situation, with a club with our unbelievable fans, being brave is the most important, and to take risks."

Writing seems to be on the wall, Levy isn't the kind to let him spend bucketloads.
They’re pretty much where we were from 2007 onwards. New stadium, promising young team and a good manager fighting against the tide of money.
It does have the hallmarks, though the key difference I guess will be is that they have no relatively recent success to point to at the time.
If Levy does say we'll go down the same route we always have in the short term, Pochettino will surely think about moving on?
Chelsea after Puppetino big time - i would love it if he left spuds - players like K**t, Walli, Trip-up-players-and-get-away-with-it-from-lenient-spuds-loving refs would all go and they would be fighting relegation :D
Pochettino to Chelsea? :lol:
I don't believe it but that would be hilarious.
K**t's resigned with spuds, what a loser, typical english pub-type, no ambition or desire to play elsewhere
Spuds will be playing at Wembley against Citeh at home and all their group stage matches in the Champions League.
Does anybody else think this is utterly ridiculous they're able to get away with this?
It seems grossly unfair some clubs will be playing at two different stadiums, in fact makes a bit of a mockery about the judgement a league table is supposed to bring.
Yep.
If you can't fulfil the fixture, you should forfeit
And it must be a real pisser for the away supporters too.
Should be facing a hefty fine at the very least. I don’t think the FA would have the balls to dock them points.
Just seen Craig Bellemy on Skysports news saying the reason spuds lost against Watford was because they are still tired from the world cup... What would he know he never played in one ;)
Ouch, get the claws out. Mind you he did that on the football pitch and off it, so I don't give credence to anything he says, he's just a thug.Quote:

That'll learn him.
What's that, about 2 days wages?
Probably had that much on him.
Difficult to afford a taxi being so hard up.
My sister in law was knocked off her bike by a drink driver.
No punishment is ever enough for deliberately endangering the lives of others. Cunts.
My niece got married recently. The groom's sister drove home at the end of the night. Clearly drunk. I mentioned it to my niece and she said "oh yeah, she does that".
Stupid bint (not my niece, her now sister-in-law!).
Lloris is out for 'several weeks'.
Perhaps he is in the clink after all. :ninja:
New stadium possibly delayed until March.
What a mess.
There should be consequences.Quote:

Levy has a file on everyone at the FA

"If you're not clever, experience on it's own is not going to help you in the future," he said. "It's like a cow who sees every single day for 10 years the train crossing in front, and if you ask the cow when the train is coming he's not going to have the right answer."
In other words Spurs are going to go crashing out of another competition when the going gets tough and end up trophyless for another season.
Is Lloris one of the workmen?
I suspect Levy may be in charge of checking the workers timesheets. Negotiating all OT to 70p on the pound. Tough buzzard is `ol Dan.
I heard that Crossrail is being delayed because Spurs have offered a load of electricians a huge day rate to try and get it done and they’re all now working at the stadium.
Does all sound like quite a mess :lol:
My company recruits for one of the contractors at the stadium and last month they were advertising jobs for up to £70 an hour depending on experience. :lol:
It's skewed the market in the area and other projects have ground to a halt because of it.
It probably won't be ready before Christmas either. Shambles.
The stadium has totally fucked them over. It’s doubled in cost and it comes at a time when their squad needs to be supplemented or they run the risk of losing all the momentum. Players will get itchy feet soon and the manager has already shown he wants more money spent. All at a time when they need a manager like Poch who can work on minimal resources. They’ll get it built and in a couple of years won’t be able to fill it.
It shouldn't be understated how much of an achievement it was to build ours on time and under budget.
Not to mention Wenger keeping us top 4 while we did it and our funds were restricted, just at the time the billionaires started having a big impact.Quote:

Spurs seem to have made a right balls up of this. I go past it on the train every day ( :sick: ) and it looks almost ready but clearly there's loads of stuff inside which isn't finished.
Spurs :pal:
Too right. Spurs have fucked theirs up. Chelsea have dropped the idea. Liverpool had to redevelop instead of move. Everton keep dicking around and City got a free stadium on a plate.Quote:

Also, another push from Marketing for Pochettino allegedly, clearly they fancy their chances of being beaten by Barca this weekend. :ninja:
