Since we installed Martin Jol as manager we've constantly had the goal of finishing in the top 4 and making the champions league but what do us fans value the most about the competition?
For me when Jol took over it was a really exciting time and playing in Europe and signing exotic players from all over the world was great after years of signing average journey men. At that point we were constantly striving for consistency and an improved team, craving superstar signings but constantly missing out because "allegedly" we didn't have Champions league football.
Now the team is finally competing at the top of the league in April for the first time in my life time (Born in 81) and we have a squad of truly talented players competing at a top level I don't crave any real superstars. So with that in mind and the Champions League still being muted as a success of our season what will be the real benefits of us being in the competition?
For me top players want to play at the top level and competing in the Champions league should be something players like Kane and Lloris (amongst others) should be consistently doing as a base line. So to me being in the Champions League will hopefully mean we can keep our best players whilst hitting the glory nights again at the lane.
I've tried to add as many options to the poll but what is your favourite thing about being back in the Champions League?
