    The moment things don’t go their way their fans are bound to make it toxic.

    Have to admit that’s probably a good choice. Frank done an excellent job with Brentford

    The fact that it’s happened quite quickly makes me think they had already unofficially met with him a while ago and then pushed Ange out when they got a verbal agreement from him to join

    I remember being worried wwhen Conte went there but he soon discovered how bad it was

    Their winning the EL really is a disaster, not only can we not joke about their never winning anything anymore, but they've CL football which means they can recruit a decent manager and better players

    the decision not to have CL teams dropping down into the EL really was a bad bad bad mistake

    To be honest any Premier League entrant into the Europa and Conference Leagues will be considered favourites.

    They've been in the CL before
    They had their moment but now the dust has settled I think most of them realise what a shitty season it was for them.
    They won a trophy for 2nd rate teams. That may be sour grapes but it is also true. Fuck 'em.

    and anyway that doesn't negate the point that being in the CL helps with recruitment

    I’m totally committed to not worrying what spurs do or don’t do

    I think champions league will help with recruitment but they really need help, the problem is their recruitment model has largely been with the priority of keeping the wage bill down. We complain about KSE (and with justification of course) but that club absolutely are penny pinchers. They really do just want champions league for the money rather than as a springboard to something bigger

    Also I’m old enough to remember when they spent a fuck ton of money bringing in loads of new players and how well that season worked out for them.

    Well that is true, but I think any player would consider the league season they just had and their general Spursyness.
    I'm not worried about them.

    Some people, maybe even you, said that before the EL final

    Not me.
    They won a Mickey Mouse competition in European terms.
    Any of the CL quarter finalists would (or certainly should) have won it.
